Bound to the Battle God
by Dixon, Ruby
Faith is having a terrible day. One minute she is minding her own business, and the next, she is being yanked through a portal to a world where gods are real, petty, and entirely too involved in human affairs. She lands right in the lap of Aron, a disgraced god of war who needs her help to reclaim his status. The dynamic between them is deliciously messy; he is arrogant and out of touch with his humanity, and she is just trying to survive without losing her mind or her life. This book moves fast, balancing high-stakes questing with a genuinely funny, bickering chemistry. It is perfect if you want a fantasy romance that does not take itself too seriously but still delivers plenty of heat, sharp banter, and satisfying character growth.
