Review 

Elle's on the run from her abusive father, who's attempted to marry her off to a powerful ally. With the help of her best friend Val she's able to escape to the mortal world with the hopes of staying in hiding and starting a new life. Thor still remembers what happened with the great battle that destroyed his home. During a guilt trip to attend the speed dating at the request of Frigg he finds the enchanting Elle who's captivated him but what happens when he finds out who she is? 

 I loved Elle she's adorable this sweet girl who loves to read and breakfast cereal a girl of my own heart. Thor is just an amazing partner for her because he really listened and took her to a place she would love. I also love the support characters it was interesting getting to see Thors family, Loki, Odin, Frigg are the main ones we had a chance to meet. 

I picked this one up on a spur of the moment for a challenge that I needed to read 9th in the series and each novel is a standalone HEA which was perfect. This is my first book by the author so I was worried about starting in the middle of the series but I found that wasn't an issue. I truly enjoy the story the characters are easy to connect with and enjoyed every moment of it. I actually finished the book in one sitting hooked from start to finish. I look forward to reading more in the series for this challenge.
