Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

Hale makes me wonder what a greedy, masculine lover would be like. Would he make the first move? Could I sit back and be made love to instead of initiating the interaction? Would I like that?

Sometimes I just want to read an uncomplicated paranormal story with fated mates, and Mia Monroe seems to be quite good at exactly that. I enjoyed this a lot and it kept me entertained. Beefy Ohio farm boy turned a bit of a pillow princess? Please and thank you. There’s also something really endearing about a vampire who is patiently waiting for their fated mate, wanting that eternal love. Although the two MCs were very cute together, the other stuff going on was kinda just okay.

I was definitely missing Hale’s backstory (mentioned in the book’s foreword), but it was explained well enough and can be read as a standalone, although I do believe having read the Immortal Assassins series first will lead to even more enjoyment. I’ve read book 1 in that series and it was helpful with keeping up with the side characters.

Oh fuck. We’re about to be cocks out.

Yannis did read like he was 24, not 34, but that’s minor stuff. I do wish authors would stop writing anal sex scenes with no lube or prep tho. You couldn’t spare a drop of lubricant for his first time bottoming? This isn’t MF romance, you can’t just stick it in and be good to go, lol.



Ignoring that painful visual, it was cute and entertaining. Wish the kinky stuff that was briefly mentioned actually turned into something, but sadly, no voyeurism or exhibitionism in sight ):

He effortlessly stands, lifting my body with him and carrying me bridal style down the hall. Not gonna lie, the princess treatment isn’t bad at all.
