This is my first book by Saffron A. Kent and I really wanted to love it more. Between the pregnancy and breeding tropes, the brother's rival, and the boy obsessed... I thought this would be right up my alley. Unfortunately, the writing style is definitely on the longer side... flowery, a bit repetitive. This made the book feel LONG... I appreciate the timeline that went into this, being over the course of 3 years really. But I think I would have preferred to see it in more of a duet form personally.

Not only was the book long, but it felt like it was slow moving. Again, I appreciate just how much was actually covered in this story, so I do get it. But the constant stuttering by the FMC and the repetitive nature of just about every conversation and interaction had me cringing.

I do think there will be a large mass of readers who will love this book, especially if you're already a fan of the author. And while it's a sort of "spin-off" or continuation of a world, it's very easy to read as a standalone, so new readers don't need to feel the need to urgently read the backlist before reading this one.

Unfortunately, I don't think it was entirely what I was expecting or hoping for.

Ok, this one was really good. Second fave of the series. I guess I'm just a fan of a good age gap? This was definitely one of the bigger age gaps I've read, with the MMC 30+ years older. But I loved it!

I also really appreciated the ending and

how he gave her a chance to grieve and heal, but was there waiting for her when she was ready. One of the advantages of having a more mature MMC is definitely the fact that he understood she needed time to herself to properly grow and she couldn't do that with him, no matter how much he wished she could.

Vampires, billionaires, fake dating... what's not to love?! And don't forget, the billionaire vampire is also angsty and broody AF... as billionaire vampires tend to be, of course.

I really enjoyed this one and absolutely got "Twilight but make it spicy" vibes... so if that's your thing, I highly recommend this one! I'll be continuing on to book 2 as soon as possible! 

I'm not familiar with Sleepy Hollow or the Headless Horman really, but I loved this take on the legend. This is a gothic, academia, spooky vibes, witchy tale, perfect for fall/spooky season. I absolutely cannot wait for Legend to read more! 

Minotaurs! This is no Cambric Creek, but I liked the monster city all the same. I believe this is a futuristic world, with flying cars and after a monster/human war, where the monsters have been segregated and viewed by humans as "lesser." But it does seem that in some cities the humans are more willing to integrate and even have monsters as neighbors.

I would love to see more in this world, like her neighbor who will of course need to fall in love with another nice monster! ;)

Hockey... why choose... fake dating... boy obsessed... I mean... I can't express my love for these tropes enough. This was a fun, no third-act break up MFM romance. While it's the second in the series, you can easily read it as a standalone without missing anything. But be prepared to want to pick up the first book (Double Pucked) once you do because you'll want more info on some of the side characters!

This was a good PNR/monster romance and I definitely can't wait to find out more. I think Grim may be my current fave, but... I do have a soft spot for a sweet lion...
