Book Blurb:
I almost hooked up with a werewolf… but before we got to third base, he dragged me off to jail.
Apparently, he's the leader of the pack in town.
The fact that I’m an illegal blood wolf—a vampire/werewolf hybrid—doesn’t help my case.
And he didn't appreciate me accidentally biting him when we were kissing, either.
Luckily, or unluckily, he seems to think I'm his true mate, which means he won't let anyone hurt me.
But he also won't let me go.
Between his possessiveness, my need to be near him, and the vampire clan hunting me, one thing's becoming clear:
I won't be able to avoid my werewolf forever.
This is a steamy, fun, full-length standalone romance with a happily ever after!
Tropes:
*MMC werewolf shifter *fated mates *FMC vampire/wolf hybrid *FMC in hiding *FMC baker
*MMC firefighter *paranormal romance *insta lust/love *virgin FMC *forced proximity
Thoughts:
Lovene (FMC) is a vampire-werewolf hybrid that was created to be a vampire blood source because the combination is an amazing source for the pure vampires... she escapes from this life and runs with a friend to a werewolf shifter territory where they work in a bakery.
Lovene goes to a bar and meets Madd (MMC) he is an alpha wolf shifter and a firefighter (we are told this is his job but he never goes to work). He is wealthy and runs the town. His wolf tells him he has found his mate and he takes her to his home where he finds out she is actually a vampire when she gets the urge to bite him (she has not been eating well and is starving... but apparently vampires if they are mated the blood from their mate is the best blood).
Madd brings Lovene to the police station and has her locked up for questioning (very briefly... but she brings this up multiple times throughout the rest of the book)... she is released quickly after and he finds that she is a hybrid and so is her friend that comes to the police station to help.
After this Lovene is invited to move in with the MMC and she does to appease her inner wolf, she attempts to push him away while not really trying that hard. Madd moves her friend into one of his homes to protect her.
Madd does everything to protect his mate, while trying to prove that they belong together as she continues to try to reject him... will she ever see that she belongs with him it was fated after all.
This was a very low stakes shifter romance, everything happens really quickly, there is no real world building. The FMC and her friend are in hiding and afraid for their friend who is still living with the vampires... she just mentions the name of the vampire clan/family (?) and Madd doesn't even go himself he sends others to take care of it while he camps out with her in a cabin and they finally give into their lust.
I didn't see them growing closer together throughout this story really we were just told they were.
This was a cozy shifter romance, but I felt it was too cozy to the point where nothing was really happening except deciding what groceries to order and running in the woods to let their wolves exercise, the FMC had a hard life and the MMC is now taking care of everything for her but it leaves it so there is nothing to work towards except the FMC finally letting the MMC love her.
I don't know if I'll be continuing this series, I have liked other book series by this author more.
Have you read this one what did you think?
