The scene where Des asks Callie to finish watching the Harry Potter series with him – a hearken back to the early days of their relationship – had me grinning from ear to ear. You can tell that they truly care for one another and enjoy each other’s company. Sexual tension aside, their relationship also has a sweet, endearing side to it. You know that they will end up together it is just a matter of when, which is what keeps you turning the pages. The two have palpable chemistry that jumps off of the pages. The romance between Callie, the protagonist, and Des, the Bargainer and King of the Night, is why you read this book. Nonetheless, it is highly entertaining, owing to its easy-to-read writing and swoon-worthy love interest, who bears a striking resemblance to one of the fantasy genre’s most beloved male characters, Rhysand from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. It is not the most well-written novel, nor is the plot particularly fleshed out.

Rhapsodic is a true guilty pleasure read. TLDR: If you love the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and are looking for another steamy fantasy romance, give this one a try.
