Desciption
Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs, but when she transfers from her one-stoplight town to Cardiff University in Wales she falls in love with Ull Myhr. Her new boyfriend isn’t exactly what she was expecting. He’s an honest-to-goodness Norse God — an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth. Kristia’s crazy visions are the only thing that can save their realms. Her orderly life just got very messy.
Review
I don't care if authors want to write a romance free of sex; I've read many of them that are beautifully done. But if you're going to be sex shaming and slut shaming (like this book) to achieve your "clean" romance, that I don't like. It's lazy, throwing around terms like slut and virtue to summaryly dismiss the sex issue out of hand, and it's not necessary. This bills itself as NA, but reads like a YA. I thought it was Twilight fan fiction a few times while reading.I gave it a chance because I like Norse mythology, and because I thought it wouldn't be YA, but suffice it to say it wasn't what I look for in a fantasy romance.
