The Sun Stone & The Hybrid Prince by S.D. Huston

A pirate stealing a precious gem to perform a miracle, and the prince who means to stop her. Who will win?

Adria thought stealing the Sun Stone would be easy. The Ice Dragons didn’t even put any guards in the room.

That’s okay.

That’s why she went through the walls. She almost snuck away with the magical artifact…that is until Belian, the Hybrid Prince, catches her stealing the stone.

Belian chases the thief, which ends with a cave in and the Sun Stone, which always reveals truths. Mistrusting the pirate, he’s not sure if he should allow Adria to leave with the stone once he knows the truth of why she needs it. Yet, he’s drawn to her, and the adventure she promises.

They soon learn the truths of their own attractions and feelings for the other while their sexy adventure continues after the cave in—flying with dragons, swimming with mermaids, and facing off with the Sea Witch.

Will these star-crossed lovers survive the awesome power of the Sea Witch and the gods for a chance to find their happiness together?

My Thoughts

This book was fun, cute and quirky.
I have to say.. I absolutely loved it!
I’m so used to books about Fae with all the characters being perfect and it was such a nice change to read this one where characters are flawed and make me not feel like I’m some unattractive being in comparison.

The FMC was a delight in terms of attitude and in terms of her ‘flaws’.
It’s time for scars, skin conditions and pain conditions to be acknowledged by all.
Her predicament was intriguing, but I was left puzzled as to why exactly she was cursed to begin with?
_________________

The romance element of this story was an enemies to lovers, it’s a short story, so there’s only so much pace you can set within that time, so it’s a little fast. I’d say more like a dislike to lovers perhaps?
There’s a little smut, at the end.
I wasn’t expecting it in a short book so I was surprised, but I did very much enjoy it.
_________________

Some of the plot was quite interesting, and I wish the book had been longer to go over it all more thoroughly, because I really did enjoy learning about the different gods, and was left curious about different things.

Also.. leaving us on a cliffhanger.. how very dare you.

This is probably one of the shortest stories I’ve read, but it’s also the best.
It gives me Little Mermaid vibes in some aspects. if you know you know.
