Review: fantastic story - Reading this book was my introduction to Maxi & Rifton. This book is in third person ( I prefer 1st person) however it is technically (mostly) Maxi's point of view and it works. Loved this story. Pulls on your heart stings, Slow steady plot development. A fantastic read!
Review: Love the character building! - Under the Oak Tree: Volume 1 is a slow, emotionally immersive introduction to a romance that prioritizes vulnerability over spectacle. At its core, this story is about Maxi—a heroine shaped by neglect and fear, yet quietly yearning for connection and self-worth. Her inner world is portrayed with heartbreaking honesty, making her struggles feel deeply personal and achingly real. Riftan enters the story as a larger-than-life figure—powerful, intimidating, and seemingly unreachable—but it quickly becomes clear that his stoic exterior hides an intense, unwavering devotion. Their marriage begins not with grand romance, but with discomfort, misunderstanding, and unspoken desire, which makes their dynamic feel refreshingly raw and human. The tension isn’t driven by external drama alone, but by emotional distance and the inability to communicate what they truly need. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the relationship to develop naturally while weaving in subtle world-building that never detracts from the emotional core. Volume 1 doesn’t rush to resolve its conflicts—instead, it lays a strong, emotionally complex foundation for the story to come. It’s intimate, imperfect, and deeply compelling. If you’re drawn to slow-burn fantasy romance that explores trauma, healing, and the fragile beginnings of love, Under the Oak Tree: Volume 1 is a powerful place to start.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful hardcover, immersive story writing, lovable characters
*by R***A on December 22, 2024*

Appearance: 5 stars Book rating: 4.5/5 stars Spiciness: 4/5 stars Overall I thought this book was immersive. I liked the author's writing style- descriptive and paints a good picture of the setting. There wasn't too much world building which I liked! Just enough story building to create a good visual. The story starts off quickly and you follow the protagonist through her journey of finding love for the first time. The spice level was definitely there in my opinion! It's a good read and there's a nice sample on amazon to read before deciding. I read the sample first as I was skeptical to purchase but found myself wanting to read more. This book touches base with romance, character development, action, magic, monsters, handsome knights. I personally can't wait for second volume coming in May 2025!
