Growing up on the Isle of Moon, Brigitta knows nothing of her past, except that she is Embraced: born with powers that forced her into hiding. Everything changes when she learns she’s a princess, hidden away from her villainous half-brother who now rules the kingdom. But he knows about Brigitta, and he’ll do anything to get her back. Unless a certain roguish pirate has anything to say about it…Rupert is both an infamous pirate and a sorcerer with the power to harness the wind. He’s been waiting nineteen years for revenge—and he needs Brigitta to get it. What begins as a kidnapping of the fiery beauty turns into a fierce attraction. But can he win the captive princess’s heart?

So I married a Sorcerer is a standalone and is part of the Embraced series. The series have silly covers and silly titles and I find it a bit misleading, but it works in your benefit. This isn’t a smutty book, I would even describe it more as a young adult read with a well thought out storyline and a lot of character development. You know those pretty covers with a young lady in a beautiful dress that is flowing in the wind? Yeah, it should have one of those covers.
So, don’t think over the top historical fantastical romance, think more of a slow burn fantastical romance.
Brigitta is the main Heroine and it’s her story in how she married Rupert, but it’s not actually about her being married to him. Again, it’s perfectly fine, just a slightly misleading title.
I really liked this book. Brigitta is kidnapped by Rupert who is a infamous pirate. A good portion of the book is set on the boat and I really liked that. I liked the interaction between Brigitta and Rupert. I liked understanding why Rupert kidnapped her and how they were connected because everything is connected in this book.
In this world the ones Embraced (those that have special gifts) are killed, so everyone keeps his and her powers a secret. Rupert and Brigitta don't have a crazy power, but it’s how they use it I found really interesting.
The book is really meaty and a lot goes on. A lot of detailed is there for you to follow. I felt like the author did a really good job in building the relationship between Brigitta and Rupert. There was good banter and some good tension that kept you interested in the storyline.
This book really surprised me and I will continue on with the series.

Kerrelyn Sparks apparently has issues with reality. After writing more than a dozen books about vampires, she has now completely gone off the deep end and wound up on another planet. But how thrilling that she can share this magical new world with her readers! Although she is best known (so far) for the Love at Stake series, which has hit as high as number 5 on the New York Times list and 22 on the USA Today list, she hopes her readers will love The Embraced as much as they did her merry band of vamps and shifters.
