MateHub: Legend by Marie Reynard
4.75

4.75 Stars

Ok, so I freakin' loved MateHub: Legend!

This is a new-to-me author and now she'll be a go-to. I am super impressed with this book, which captivated me from the beginning. I stayed up until almost 4am to finish it because I couldn't put it down.

Neither Richard (a wolf shifter) nor Hunter (a human) enter their arranged temporary bond with the intention of catching feelings; in fact, just the opposite, because catching feelings would most likely jeopardize their careers as adult entertainers. Of course it just so happens that their scents are uncommonly compatible, much to Richard's dismay, and the arrogant shifter can't figure out why Hunter isn't as clingy as all his other former temporary mates. What are they going to do, as the date to sever their temporary bond grows closer?

Damn, this story had me all over the place, emotionally. Mostly I was laughing, because god this is a funny book. The titles of all the porn movies, the porn stage names, the side characters... The banter (in person, in online forums, and via text) was so witty that I found myself cackling quite often. I also swooned whenever Richard cooked for Hunter or when he was so bad at playing any video game involving fighting but he was a champ at taking care of virtual magical animals. There were a few times that I cried during the book as well. Despite the sweetness and humor in the book, there were also some heartwarming and heart-wrenching parts.

I am so glad that I was able to read an ARC of this book, as it was truly a pleasure. This is my honest review of it.
