I’d been eagerly awaiting Harlow and Bailey’s story and I was not disappointed. The romance between the sassy demon twink and the gentle giant of school teacher certainly didn’t come easy. Bailey has his insecurities to overcome and at times my heart nearly split in two for what they had to go through before getting their well deserved HEA. So there’s plenty of feels. There’s also plenty of steam, especially when their relationship morphs from friends with benefits to bonded mates!

The romance element is balanced perfectly with some action and the story arc surrounding some other supernatural characters. This is a thoroughly enjoyable read that kept me fully engaged from start to finish. I’m looking forward to Mori having his story told next.

I was intrigued as to how the author would lead me to feel anything remotely nice towards Lucien but it was accomplished. My dislike for him stemmed from his bad behaviour in previous books and I couldn’t see how he’d be redeemed. He wasn’t so much redeemed but accepted for the monster he is by Jamie.

Jamie who saw both Lucien and his monster due to his seer abilities, who not only accepted them but loved them fully and without restraint. Being the light to Lucien’s darkness, full of happiness, some sass, taking joy in everything and with a mighty inner strength makes Jamie the perfect mate for Lucien. And I loved some of Lucien’s unexpected reactions as he was so overwhelmed by the intensity of his feelings for Jamie.

This was a very enjoyable and engaging read with lots of steam, some external angst and a life changing HEA for both of these very likeable characters. Yes, Lucien became very likeable!

Feel good read with steam.

My heart hurt for Nathan after his was a absolutely pummeled by his publisher critiquing his book.
Leading up to Christmas he retreats to a hotel to reassess his book and circumstances have him and CJ meeting. CJ is so cheerful, passionate about his photography career, free spirited and just what Nathan needs.
After an avalanche leaves them stuck at the hotel, their one night stand morphs into more.

I loved how CJ was able to bring Nathan out of the recluse life he’d be living, closed off emotions and all. Slowly Nathan opened himself up to experiencing passion and happiness with CJ and their relationship became something to fervently hold onto with a pretty much angst free HEA.

This was a really enjoyable engaging read with wonderful characters with scorching chemistry, a great balance of tender and steamy moments and left me smiling at the end.
