Indigo made my YEAR with this arc copy and I almost read it all in one sitting. I already love Ali Hazelwood, but she was BORN to write fantasy novels. This was fantastic. I'm already a sucker for a marriage of convenience, but making it between a Vampyre and a Were(wolf) was genius.
It's also mildly addicting. Block off a couple of hours to read this book because it was truly hard to put down.
Misery Lark has spent most of her life with her best friend Serena in the human world until she is summoned to be married. Lowe Moreland is the new Alpha and agrees to the marriage to create an alliance between the Vampyres and Weres. From the get-go, we have my wife and husband being thrown around between them and I ate it up. These two were so funny and cute all while still having the PERFECT slow burn. The overall tension DELIVERED. And when the spice finally raised it was flawless.
I genuinely cannot think of a single thing from this book other than it being a tad predictable, but that's almost a given with romance books. Anyway, loved it. 5/5 stars. Go read it on Feb 6th....more
Elsie Silver can do no wrong. This was everything. Age gap + he falls first + brother's best friend + small town romance with BANTER created an absoluElsie Silver can do no wrong. This was everything. Age gap + he falls first + brother's best friend + small town romance with BANTER created an absolute work of art.
Rosie Belmont leaves her job in the city and returns to her roots in Rose Hill for a visit with her brother, West. Upon arrival, a chance encounter with Ford, her brother's longtime friend, leads to an unexpected proposition: Rosie (now jobless) insists on becoming his assistant. Little does Rosie know, Ford has been in love with her since they were kids. However, their dynamic takes a dramatic turn with the sudden appearance of Ford's alleged daughter, shortly after Rosie's arrival. As Ford navigates the difficulties of hiding his feelings from Rosie, he also finds himself embarking on an unexpected journey of fatherhood.
Now I don't usually love books with the pregnancy trope/kids, but I devoured this (and it's also a unique kid trope which you will understand when you read it lol). Rosie is a spitfire but I adored her and Ford is Willa's brother so it was a no-brainer I was gonna love him. The banter between these two was UNMATCHED. They had me grinning like a fool and kicking my feet together. The tension and the build-up were genuinely the best part of this entire book.
There was a little lull point around the 75% mark but then it picked up again. I think it happens in most romance books - when the couple finally gets together I get a little bored cause there is no more tension and build-up.
I loved West and Cora and Ford's parents and literally everyone else. This book felt like coming home - I missed this world after finishing the Chesnut Springs series). I also CANNOT WAIT for the next book now. I had a feeling of who the next characters were going to be and now I need this book NOW. Idk if I can say who it is so I will leave that for now... But you guys will love it.
This book makes me love love.
Thank you endlessly to Elsie and Indigo and Raincoast books for an ARC copy. I genuinely stared at my computer in SHOCK when I got the email. You guys are the best, thank you again <3

Ugh this book was so good and that comes at no surprise because I absolutely loved Flawless and Heartless!!! From the first couple of pages I knew this was gonna be amazing because every good book starts with some banter and Ms Elsie Silver came to play. I didn't remember much about Winter from the previous books, but in my review of Flawless I stated that I hated her. I am retracting that statement now.
I loved getting Winter's POV and I could honestly relate to her at so many points in the book. The black cat girl x golden retriever boy vibes were so strong in this book and I ATE IT UP. The pacing of Winter slowly warming up to Theo was perfect and I seriously could not put this book down. Getting all the glimpses of past couples was also adorable (especially Willa and Cade, my favs).
I don't usually love the accidental pregnancy trope in books, but this is my one exception. Even though it was an accident, Winter's journey of trying to have a baby for so long kind of made me forget it wasn't planned. And watching them come together a family PULLED AT MY HEARTSTRINGS. God this was so cute!!!
Received this book as an ARC, but this review is of my own words and thoughts :) ...more
