Description

Princess Ilyra has always preferred the solitude of her books to the cutthroat politics of the Halden Court. Destined to be a quiet background figure, her life is upended when a centuries-old diplomatic pact demands she be bound to an envoy from the vampire realm. She expected a cold-blooded stranger; she didn't expect Ser Virelle. Virelle is a formidable vampire knight, a warrior defined by steel, duty, and an ancient oath. Arriving at the palace amidst the glowing Yule festivities, she is stunned to find that Ilyra is more than a diplomatic liability—she is her fated mate. Tethered by blood and a ritual as old as the kingdom itself, the two are swept into a dangerous dance of courtship over twelve magical, perilous nights. As snow falls upon the palace, the masquerade of court life begins to crumble. Surrounded by ambitious suitors and lurking shadows, Ilyra and Virelle must navigate a fragile peace that threatens to ignite into something far more volatile. In this scorching sapphic romance, two souls from different worlds discover that while fate may have lit the spark, the fire of their devotion is their own to command. Steamy, atmospheric, and unforgettably romantic, this is a holiday union meant to last an eternity.

A warm, wintry sapphic romance with great chemistry and lush writing!

A Vow Cold and Kindled by Moira Darling is a cozy, sapphic Yule-season romantasy novella, and despite its short length, it’s a wonderfully full read! As the fourth book in the Her Fangs in My Heart series, it brought everything I love about Moira Darling’s writing - the lush world-building, heartfelt emotion, and a beautiful romance. The fated-mates bond between the princess and her vampire knight is sweet, warm, and instantly compelling. The chemistry between the two characters is strong, the intimacy and spice is perfectly placed, and the wintery atmosphere wraps the whole story in a magical glow. I’ve enjoyed every book in this series, and this one didn’t disappoint. It’s a quick, beautifully written holiday escape and I’m so glad I took the opportunity to read it!

Great read!!

I loved pretty much everything about this book. My only wish is that is was longer. There were multiple times I was reading and thinking there should’ve been more, more time with the characters more background exploration, more info from some side characters. But it was really really good. Loved the writing style, loved the characters, all the things!

BRAVA! BRAVA!

Ms. Moira & family, I could read this book again and again. It captures my love of mystery, defiance, drama, and romance in books. What a wonderful contradiction, even in the title. Cold and Kindled. Usually, when something or someone is kindled, they are warm. So, the duality in the title is delicious and clever. I will not belabor the high points of the book. I will just encourage you to take a journey into something wonderful. Happy Reading

Trust Moira and let her tell you a story :)

The Her Fangs in My Heart series is a standout romantasy. Moira Darling always manages to capture my heart with her gentle writing style and intriguing stories. A Vow Cold and Kindled is a holiday novella, a little shorter than the others in the series, but undoubtedly in some ways even more sensual and daring than the previous ones. Ser Virelle and princess Ilyra are made for each other, their passion and love blossoming like a winter flower - illogically beautiful, resisting everything that tries to define it as impossible. Moira Darling is a trademark for a good time, this holiday novella will make sure your hot chocolate isn't the only thing burning. Trust Moira and let her tell you a story ;)
