This monster shifter romance (ok, he’s really not a monster though) is the third book in the Grym Hollow series, a set of fantasy romance stories where each book follows a different couple and ends with a HEA. There are numerous spicy scenes and some dark topics so please read the trigger warnings. I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own. 

Tropes and themes include: 

✨Portal fantasy 

✨Arranged marriage 

✨Hurt/comfort 

✨Tentacle play 

✨Fated mates 

✨Found family 

✨Soft dom 

✨Fairytale inspired 

Rating: 5/5 Stars 3/5 Flames 

Nickname: Sweet Girl 

The Lovely: Full disclosure - I alpha read this story and have re-read it multiple times since then as it has become a comfort read for me. I love the relationship between the MCs - how they both come to it, how it develops, how he treats her - all of it. This is a story of the FMC learning how to live and be loved after an absolutely horrid abuse situation. The hurt/comfort vibes hit just perfect and I was reduced to a puddle multiple times (my alpha read comments can prove this up). 

Recommendation: I recommend you go read this - immediately. While you can read this story without reading the prior two (plus a novella) books, all are pretty short (approximately 300 pages) and you get the full villain arc reading all of them. This is the read for a swoon worthy book boyfriend, a broken but strong FMC and all the emotional feels.
