A short but enjoyable sapphic romance about a photographer and a werebear who meet at a nature reserve. 

- A fun and fluffy book. Is it the height of sophisticated literature? No, but I don't think that's the point. It's a sappy little paranormal romance that is mostly lighthearted and it definitely has a feel good vibe to it.

-I enjoyed the concept of the book and although a little rushed the romance was enjoyable. Who doesn't like the idea of werebears and people connecting as a community?

- The prose wasn't exactly high brow and there were a lot of sections that relied heavily on dialogue and felt like I was being told rather than shown. It didn't affect my enjoyment particularly but I was definitely aware of how it felt occasionally forced.

Enjoyable, mildly festive as set in winter and a wholesome little story.
