Publisher's summary

When the fae invaded England with their armies and their magic, everyone felt like the world had changed overnight. It hadn’t. Especially if you were an Ironwood.

While humans lost their knowledge of magic and monsters, the Ironwoods have been fighting against evil for centuries.

While gods, fae, and magicians turned into tall tales and ghost stories, the Ironwoods became the stuff of legends themselves.

Now, with Morrigan’s Generals free again in the world, the Ironwoods are going to need all their training—and their new fae brothers—to stop them.

This box set collects all four stories of the Ironwood women as they get into plenty of trouble, slay their enemies, and find true love.

Please note: Ironwood contains adult content, including violence, swearing, and steamy sex scenes.

This series is always unexpectedly funny!

The serious stuff going on, and the serious warriors cast a certain aura over the series, but the women and there affect on the men never fails to entertain! Love the series and the narrator!

Fun fun!

I jumped into this set of books immediately after the fae brothers set. I had lots of fun with this set as well. There were some very noticeable improvements and some gripes. I was most excited for erewon and Imogen's story and I was very disappointed that although I loved their premise, Loved there was no mating bond, and I thought Imogen's relationship with death was very interesting, her personality made her very unlikeable thus made me not fully enjoy their story. She really is too much. It also didn't make sense for her to be plus sized when she's described to be most similar to Brawn and she loves to hunt and train. The only sister where her being plus sized made sense was Layla, she didn't care for hunting or training and actively avoided it. It's drilled into our heads that the ironwoods walk out their diapers training and fighting. I love me a plus size lead but where it makes sense. On the same note as malnourished leads being great warriors.. I guess I have to stop questioning fantasy and just get lost in it. Nonetheless ; the steamy scenes were great in the previous book but even better in this book. They just kept getting better and better. Towards the end the author put the breaks on using misunderstandings to extend the plot and actually allowed her characters to talk like adults. Loved that. I enjoyed this set overall for the underlying story. Personally my favorite stories are Freya-Bane's, Brawn-Killian's and Ciera-Tor's. The others lean too heavy in their misunderstandings or just have unlikeable female leads but the male leads tend to save them. I will be reading / listening to more from Alessa nonetheless!

Has become one of my favorites

God Touched is my favorite favorite, but all the stories are entertaining, the characters are awesome. Oh and the narrator does a good job....even if he changed the accents and name pronunciations of some main characters from Wrath of the Fae.

I loved it so much, I’m already feeling the loss of completing the story. I wish it could continue forever.

I love the story progression, it’s lean and doesn’t have too much unnecessary information - at the same time it leaves you wanting for more. The narrators are great however I couldn’t help but morn the loss of narrators from the first book as it had already gave an idea of how the characters sound and how the names were pronounced! Nothing I couldn’t get over though as the books were both amazing.

felt warm and fuzzy with this book

Honestly this book was a lot of fun. There were multiple times I actually laughed out loud. Everything was tasteful and even when I would have an eye roll moment with a character it was still charming and like I was rooting for them. the smut is beautifully written and doesn't consume the whole story which I appreciate.
It doesn't get horribly deep, but I'm certainly not mad at this book
