Disclaimer, this was my first outing with Ms Hazelwood so I had no preconceptions about her stories as I've heard some people have due to her apparent formulaic way of writing romance.
If however, all her books are the same, then sign me up for some tropey trops baby cause this was really fun!

I cackled, giggled, belly laughed and sniggered all the way through this book and while there were some things I would have preferred in regards to the MMC, it was overall a nice fluffy read with some decent smut.

The best thing I found about Bride was the voice of the FMC, Misery. I found it hilarious seeing the world through her eyes and watching her deal with emotions since she's a vampire and never really had to. In comparison, Lowe, the MMC is all about the feels and while it is sweet, I did wish he was a little more feral as his werewolf status would have you believe. He was just a little too nice for me.

The worldbuilding was minimal but I was ultimately fine with this because of the straightforward nature of the story. It wasnt meant to be anything deeper than it was, the eco system and socio political set up of their infrastructure wasnt made a big deal simply because it wasnt meant to be. We were here for the romance and that served in a very neat and digestable way.
I quote liked how clinical Misery was throughout because it just made everything else that much funnier.

With the smut, I had no issue with the knotting stuff. Its really not that big a deal and ended up being quite sweet lol there wasnt however as much smut as I expected and was all meshed together at the end which was a little disappointing. I know its fiction but Lowe was also a little...fast. Like was he experienced or not? I wasnt quite sure lol

Overall, I enjoyed and would pick up Ali Hazelwood again if I needed a little pick me up.
