A delicious tangle of romance, fealty and dangerous politics – Tasha Suri
A Taste of Gold and Iron is a slow-burn romance flush with sexy, complicated relationships, founded on the ethics of duty and love. As indulgent and satisfying as your favourite fan fiction – Tessa Gratton
Witty, clever, and often extremely funny, Rowland’s tale of a prince who doesn’t want power but has it anyway – and must survive all the risks that brings with it – somehow manages to be both soft and hard-edged, clever and kind. And sexy! Very much that too – Jenn Lyons
This book gleams and sparkles with emotion and sensory detail, showcasing the richness of Rowland’s created world. It’s a hugely satisfying blend of economic intrigue, vivid characters, and slow-burn romance – and it’s also, frequently, funny as hell – Freya Marske
