A very sweet addition to the series.
Endark went to town with some of his other brothers to find wives and he was very surprised to actually find his mate. He went with the intent of getting a wife to hopefully calm down his monster side that has been more aggressive lately but was nervous about actually forming a mate bond.
Becky was a great choice for him, and I especially enjoyed how he enthusiastically included her brother in his family as well. I do think the "bumps" in the road were too readily taken care of, but it was a light-hearted romantic read. A very sticky sweet romance with some spice.

Lillian Lark did it again!
I loved this installment of the Monstrous Matches - it picked up right after Deceived by the Gargoyles and it focuses on Grace's best friend Emilia. Emilia is still hurt after learning that A) her best friend is a witch and was never told, and B) there is real magic and monsters in the world. This is especially hard on her since she struggles with anxiety. Add on top of this that she gets cursed by a magical serpent kin book at her job (her safe space) - well it just pushes the poor girl into panic mode.
Luckily for her, it turns out her grumpy boss Jasper is able to help her, with his very intriguing expert "friend" Ari who he has also been seeing for years on the down low.
As always in a Lillian Lark book, the angst is perfect - and the spice is hot as hell. I already pre-ordered the next book!

My first book of the year and I'm so happy it was!
Jessa Mae & Rastus were a great couple and I loved reading about them getting to know each other under very special circumstances, to say the least. Loved how it was written and the sprinkle of world-building that will hopefully be built upon in the next installments. Great holiday novella with fantastic spice! HEA of course :)
Looking forward to the next installment!
