A Curious Twist of Lime

by Heather R. Blair 

You're not the same as you were before…

That’s what happens when a man has been to hell and back--literally--as Georg Kivistö, former bruin king, knows all too well.

Restless. Aimless. Georg is at loose ends until he encounters a strange woman in a strange land. Sweet, alluring and innocent, Alice soon wraps him around her little finger, one maddening knot at a time. Georg knows better than anyone he can't afford another romantic entanglement, but what a bruin wants a bruin gets.

Or dies trying.

As shadows close in, the path to a new throne seems inevitable, but is it a crown Georg really needs--

Or a queen?

 This was a good book! I am so sad it's the last book of the series. This is Georg and Alice's book. Georg is a bruin shifter and a former king that we met in previous books in the series. He escaped death, is a little bitter over what happened to him and feeling at loose ends. When he least expects it, he meets Alice. She has been kidnapped and kept captive in a crumbling castle in the woods since she was a child. The two feel an immediate connection and Alice decides to escape her captivity for good by asking for Georg's help. Meanwhile, the bruin king is dying and Georg has been summoned as a candidate to be the next king. I don't want to share too much so I don't spoil anything, but the two face some challenges in life and love but come through it all happy together.

I loved Alice and Georg together. I was happy to see Georg find his soulmate after everything he had gone through in previous books in the series. Alice was sweet and innocent, but also strong when it counted. Georg was protective and adored Alice so much. They were a great match and an awesome couple. I loved the story in the book. I enjoyed the elements of Alice in Wonderland added in, but also that it was not a direct retelling and fit into the series culture and worldbuilding. This book was just such a fun, romantic, sweet and mysterious book. 

Overall, this was such a great read! The Toil and Trouble series has been one of my favorite paranormal series ever. I have loved the fairytale characters, worldbuilding, and the romance. I am so sad to see it end. I will continue to recommend this series to everyone and I can't wait to see what Ms. Blair comes up with next!
