TUSK LOVE

Thea Guanzon Critical Role

Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role's Jester Lavorre, TUSK LOVE finally brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.
Guinevere is a hapless merchant's daughter and bonded with a fire spirit that constantly rages to consume. She is on a journey to meet her parents at Nicodranas when her wagon has been set upon by bandits. With all of the wagon's guards slain, Guinevere is saved at the last second by stoic blacksmith apprentice Oskar. On his own journey to meet his mother's clan after her passing, Oskar has no time to field Guinevere's endless curiosity, but her violet eyes and glass-bell voice tug at his heartstrings and he agrees to escort her.

Along the Amber Road, the pair find themselves in increasingly compromising situations as Guinevere's enchanting beauty attracts more attention that Oskar can bear: gang leaders, mercenaries, Oskar's own feelings...

Despite being from two completely different backgrounds, the freedom of the journey allows both to see themselves in a new light and makes it harder to keep their passion at bay. With steamy scenes and plenty of heart, Critical Role and romantasy fans alike will enjoy!

Thea Guanzon is the New York Times- and internationally bestselling author of the Hurricane Wars series. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, with a specialization in International Politics and Peace Studies.

This book had no business being so utterly adorable and sweet but also hot at the same time. It was the very reason the phrase 'kicking your feet with glee' was invented. I would die for Guinevere. And Oskar. And Thea too. Her writing puts me in a chokehold every time.

Spicy, captivating, and enthralling from the first page to the last. It's full of laugh out loud moments, banter, and spice so hot, you look over your shoulder to make sure no one else is looking. Cannot recommend enough!

Delightful, delicious, and devilishly hot, Tusk Love is everything I've ever wanted from a fantasy romance. Impales you right in the heart.

I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! A delightful mix of spicy and sweet, this fresh take on romantasy had me swooning. Tusk Love has so much heart, and I fell just as hard for Guinevere and Oskar as they did for each other.

A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt and laugh-out-loud funnythis one is a winner all around!

As Gwen and Oskar journey through seedy city underbellies, mercenaries, forest guardians, and traveling clans to get Gwen back to her parents, something more than magic is kindled between them. A steamy, action-packed romantasy perfect for both newcomers and Critical Role superfans.

Tusk Love is the most fun I've had in ages! Thea Guanzon can convert me to any fandom.

Deliciously witty and utterly irresistible, this is the perfect grumpy meets sunshine swashbuckling romantasy and I devoured it in one sitting. No wonder Jester loves the book so much!

Guanzon's fun and witty interpretation of Exandria's spiciest romance is not only the perfect gift to any Critter but also a clever romantic fantasy romp in its own right. A delicious treat of a book.
