Description
A guayabera reimagined as a halter dress. Cut in a 55% linen, 45% cotton blend with the signature details that earn the guayabera name: alforzas pleats running down the front, a four-pocket layout, and a full button-down placket from collar to hem. Available in 3 colorways.
Why You'll Love It
- Authentic guayabera detailing — Four functional pockets and narrow alforzas pleats carried from the classic shirt into a feminine halter cut
- Cooler than cotton alone — The 55% linen content pulls heat and moisture away from skin, so the dress breathes through hot afternoons
- Halter neck, button-down front — Open shoulders with a polished placket that reads resort-refined, not swimwear-casual
- Sheath cut that moves — Skims the hip, walks easily in flat sandals or a low block heel
- Machine washable — Cold cycle on delicate, line dry. No trip to the dry cleaner
- 3 colorways — White, red, and blue. Clean solids that work across resort, dinner, and travel wardrobes
Fabric & Construction
This dress is cut from a 55% linen, 45% cotton blend that pairs two natural fibers for a specific warm-weather job. The linen does the thermal work. Hollow flax fibers pull moisture off skin and release it into the air, which is why linen feels cooler than cotton at the same temperature. The 45% cotton softens the hand from the first wear and stabilizes the weave, so the dress holds shape through repeated washing rather than growing slack the way a 100% linen piece can. The blend also drapes more fluidly than straight linen and resists the deep creasing linen purists accept as a trade-off.
Construction is where the dress earns the guayabera name. Alforzas pleats, the narrow vertical tucks that signal authentic guayabera tailoring, run down both sides of the front placket. The four-pocket layout carries through: two chest pockets and two patch pockets at the hip, each topped with a matching button. The halter keeps shoulders bare while a full button-down placket runs from collar to hem. The collar is a flat notched camp style that sits correctly without pressing.
How to Style It
- Resort daytime: White dress with leather slides and a straw tote for a beach-club lunch, or layer a cover-up from the women's guayabera shirts range on cool mornings.
- Dinner reservation: Red or blue with a low block heel and gold jewelry for a coastal restaurant or hotel patio.
- Layered travel look: Wear the dress open over linen pants and a fitted tee for a relaxed airport-to-arrival outfit.
- Weekend elevated: Espadrille wedges, minimal bag, sunglasses. One piece handles brunch through market afternoon.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

I LOVE this book so much!!!!!
Format: Kindle
WOW what a ride!!! To Bleed A Kingdom is Ella Dawes debut book and I am thoroughly impressed by her writing! She writes like a seasoned author already!
I absolutely LOVE her writing style it’s fun easy to follow and very imaginative and expressive where a reader can actually FEEL what the characters are going through or have gone through.
This world and the characters in it are so very relatable so real feeling like they could actually be my family and friends and enemies also lol
The mystery surrounding Lena her friends or found family and their lives is not reveled wholly in this book we get pieces and I really loved that, normally I’m very impatient but with the way this world and all the characters are written it doesn’t become so much the main focus.
We get a really solid feel for this world and all it’s going on and people in it. New friendships and love interests are formed it’s a very character driven story which I personally love!!
Lena is beautifully broken and flawed but sooooo incredibly strong without the unnecessary stubbornness we come across in so many books and what a breath of fresh air that was to read!
Darius is an Alpha male through and through with a LOT of emotional trauma but he loves and he loves hard even when he doesn’t really realize it himself.
The side characters are phenomenal the dialogue is sooo good the banter is hilarious and the loyalty and love between them all is written beautifully!
The spice is little but it’s amazing when it happens wink wink
I don’t like cliffhangers especially when I’m not sure when the next book will be released I’ve been burned too many times but once I got started reading this I didn’t stop all day and late into the night so I’m going to have find my patience and wait and I am so very excited to see where Ella takes this story. Thank you for sharing this story with us can’t wait for more!!!
I read this on KU

A Dark Fantasy that hooks you from the start!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️
Right from the prologue, I was hooked. Ella wastes no time diving into an intense scene, but definitely be sure to read the trigger warnings! I was immediately drawn into this dark fantasy world, and even more so by the slow-burn tension, witty banter, and the strong sense of family that forms throughout the story.
What I really loved is that Darius, the Queen’s illegitimate son and captain of the guard, is the main focus of the book. Broken and struggling to navigate the prejudices against him, Darius is caught between playing the political games and wanting to be accepted. He’s also investigating a growing threat: demons, who have always been a manageable evil, are suddenly multiplying and attacking in larger groups. His focus shifts when Lena, a mysterious foreigner with an aura that can’t be ignored, arrives on the scene. She’s not quite human—something other—and I found myself just as captivated as Darius, trying to uncover who she is and what role she has in his life. The tension and spice had me reading into the late hours of the night - romantasy readers are going to devour this book!
This book also does an excellent job of challenging stereotypes, labels, and unconscious bias. I love how Ella seamlessly weaves these complex themes into the plot, and how the characters navigate them in ways that feel authentic and thought-provoking.
🎧 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another highlight was the narration by Laura Horowitz! She does an amazing job bringing the characters to life with different accents and voices, capturing Amara’s sassiness and Lena’s mysterious nature perfectly. It took me a little while to adjust to Darius' narration, though—it wasn’t quite what I had imagined for him or other male characters. But once I sped it up to 2.0, it felt much better. As for Kace and Griffin, I still struggled a bit with their voices, especially Kace, whose tone came off more like a silly jester than the commanding yet light-hearted character I envisioned.

My current fave! Total must-read!
Format: Kindle
To Bleed a Kingdom" is an absolute rollercoaster of a read that I couldn't put down! From the get-go, Dawes throws you into the thick of it with a horrific scene that sets the stage of Seboia. It will leave you in shock. Major trigger there, but honestly, I will say it was done so tastefully I really appreciated having it on the offset!
Then we meet the brooding, forgotten Captain Darius. He’s a mountain of a man, terrifying, but has an absolute heart of gold. He’s fighting to protect his Kingdom in the midst of immense chaos from the terrifying Soulless. And then there's Lena, a fierce and intelligent leader who swoops in and turns Darius's world upside down. Their attraction to one another is seriously unwanted, particularly with all that’s going down. But it’s absolutely intoxicating and I can not get enough of it!
But it's not just about the romance – oh no! Dawes is a master story teller, weaving in elements of suspense, mystery, a world of gods and fiendish supernatural creatures, and that much needed banter in a story like this. Lena and her gang of misfits are a riot, reminding me of the antics I used to get up to with my own sister.
And let's talk about Darius's backstory – it's totally gut-wrenching, and so you’re instantly in love. I mean, who doesn't love a brooding, tortured hero?
But the real star of the show here is the world-building. Dawes has created a rich and intricate universe filled with gods, fae, and supernatural creatures that all weaves in perfectly. The way she integrates gems and their significance is genius, adding a whole new layer to the story.
If you're a fan of epic dark fantasy with a paranormal twist, this is the book for you. And don't even get me started on that cliffhanger – I'm already counting down the days until book two hits the shelves! Definite must-read.

Why can't they just TALK to each other?!
Format: Kindle
The prologue to this book was bloody and violent. I actually started this book then put it away for several months as I found it not enjoyable. When I finally returned to the book, I pretty much skipped the prologue and went right in. There are a lot of holes in this story, a lot of repetitive sections, and several parts (mostly the whole book) where you just want the lead characters to talk to each other instead of being petty and jealous. Who the female lead is, is never really explained. The humans are considered weak, but the human kingdom is the one they fear, just really weird. I did finish the book and it was overall a good book, and I may actually read the second book to see if any questions are answered and holes in the story filled in. Don't take that as an endorsement, if it was a really good book I would be reluctant to read more as I wouldn't want the story ruined, but just being so-so, there is nothing to ruin and maybe the next will be better. If you're on the fence stay there until you run out of better options, then give it a go.
