Rendition Conducive To Books To Stand Beside Her
To be the best courier in the world, eighteen-year-old Benét Leila follows three simple rules: always work alone, never stay in one place too long, and never fall in love. Too bad she didn't follow her own advice.Leila is a courier. To the people she takes from, she is seen as a common thief; to the people she helps, she is a savior.
Nalick is your typical king. He's rich, powerful, and always assumed to be right. When Leila crosses paths with King Nalick, she finds herself trapped. In a rush to save her best friend Kay from a prison sentence for a crime Leila committed, Leila trades her hand in marriage in exchange for Kay’s freedom.
Tomboy Leila does not want to grow up, but in three months’ time, she will be married to King Nalick, if Nalick can keep his end of the bargain. First, Nalick must make Leila fall in love with him, a hard task since Leila is not ready to love again after losing her first love to a greedy king. Second, Nalick must keep her safe. He is not the only king trying to hold onto her. Leila has made many enemies over the years, and even more admirers that want her as a prize. Lastly, Nalick must convince Leila that ten years of love is better than a lifetime without. Unless Leila can trust her destiny, she might not reach her wedding day at all.

I loved this book. It was a good storyline with a twist I did not see coming. I do have mixed emotions about the twist, but I don't think I would like the story as much without the twist. I wish the author would have elaborated on the male lead a little more. I wanted to know more about him. However I still managed to fall for him. I would definitely recommend this book!I have been hesitating for a while now, not being sure on how I wanted this review to go. But I did receive a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a review, and even though there won't be any goshing or any happy dancing going on (guessing the rating gave that much away), I still feel that there should be a review. So here we go. (Brutally honest I'm afraid.)The plot itself had potential. The execution ...The omniscient narrator confused me. A lot. The POV changed all the time. At

After exchanging her hand in marriage for her friend to escape, both Leila and Nalick begin to like the other -- or at
To Stand Beside Her was described to me as a YA Paranormal Fantasy, but to me, historical/fantasy romance would be more accurate. The start of the novel started off with a bang as we meet Leila, a courier and a thief who is also known as a ghost, as shes never been caught before. Leila is beautiful, a skilled fighter, and also spirited and fiesty. She has men wrapped around her little finger but also knows how to stand on her own two feet. She definitely isnt the type that would let someone like
I wish I could give this book a 5-star review. I really do. It's just that although this book had an amazingly strong start, at about 70% into the book I could barely make myself keep reading it. I felt like the author stretched this story so much that it became almost boring. Don't get me wrong- this book was absolutely amazing! The story was extremely unique, interesting and really gripping and the writing was really good! It just wasn't as great as it could have been. I felt like the ending
One of the biggest draws for me when reading this book was that the story was original. The world established by McMichael was very clear to me, despite discrepancies of an actual time (i.e. toy cars vs. actual cars exisiting). I love how we get the details and world of the courier throughout the novel, and just the fact that the novel dealt more with this type of character and strayed from the over-done fantasy novels of vampire/zombie/elf/insert-monster-of-choice-here. It was definitely a nice
I was given a free eBook copy by the author in exchange for a review. The read 4 review was offered through my Goodreads group Never Too Old For Y. A. Books. To sum up the story line, Leila is a courier; a one woman kick-butt fighting chick who steals things for a living. She encounters Nalick a King who, like every other king wants to marry her. Why not? She is gorgeous, witty, smart sexy and can take care of herself. He convinces Leila to marry him by kidnapping her best friend Kay and
