Release Me – The Wolf Hotel Mermaid Beach #1

⭐️ 4.5 | 🌶️ 2.5

I was so excited when I got the chance to read this book—thank you to Valentine PR and K.A. Tucker! It’s been a year since I’ve been in this world, but I have to say, Connor hasn’t changed one bit.

The story is split into two parts: before Abbi and after Abbi. The first part is where Ronan meets Connor for the first time, and we get some classic Connor lines that cracked me up:

“That’s Ronan. He ‘comes quick.’ Tell all your friends,” Connor quips from behind.
 
“You kidding? I want you to try something with her. Just let me be there to see it. It’ll be fun watching her kick you in the nuts.”
 
“Fair point. Definitely arsenic, then.” We stare at the muffins for another five seconds. “Fuck it. I’ve led a good life.” Connor takes one and shoves it into his mouth.
 
I was hoping Ronan and Ryan would start a relationship because they both deserved it. Ronan was the perfect person for Ryan to move on to her person, but then he had to get his heart broken a second time. After Abbi, he attempts to move forward, though unfortunately, with the wrong person.

After Abbi, we meet Sloane, who I have some theories about, but we’ll have to wait and see how the series plays out. I loved their relationship and can’t wait to see it grow, especially with that ending wow.

The sneaking around in the first part was great, but that bar scene was definitely 🥵. Any scene with Sloane and Ronan is filled with passion, and I can’t wait for more of that in the next book.

If you haven’t read The Wolf Hotel series, I highly recommend reading it first to understand these characters. I can’t wait for more books in this series!

Happy reading, everyone! 📚
