This was such a cozy monster romance and a fun introduction to the world of Hallow’s Cove! Although this was a novella it was able to do a lot in a short amount of time. We got world building, character development and even some relationship development before we get to the smut! I’m always a fan of a grumpy /sunshine and Barnaby did not disappoint in the grumpy category! There is also quite the age gal which was fun to see Maisie’s curiosity around it and discovering the truth about vampires! Don’t even get me started on the fabulous banter between these two!  I also had my heartstrings pulled a little which was quite the surprise. I can’t wait to see more from this world by the multi author series.
