Oh my god. Skip it. This is pure garbage, even for Cara.
The MMCs internal monologue did not match with the image of him as a big time security guard. It was cringy and childish at best. For example:
“I know for a fact that cold water works better than hot water at removing blood stains. It’s science or something, but I know from experience. And experience is better than science. Or are they the same?�
He’s also a moron. He can’t process even a basic understanding of a trauma response (which was poorly depicted anyway) and knowingly sets himself up to harm his charge (who is badly traumatized after witnessing her parents murder) via mating frenzy. So. Rape. And why does he do this? Because his boss is hard to say no to �

It is not my favorite of her books. But that is a high bar to reach. I love Lyonne and her characters so much. Especially the trollkin. it’s also hard to beat the Minotaur husband. But there was a certain coziness and charm to this book. It was like a warm blanket and it was a quick read.
That being said; I wish there had been more chemistry between the MCs, Maisie and Barnaby. They felt a little 2D but that added to the small town vibes in some way. I just didn’t expect it since her other books have such vibrant characters and strong chemistry.
Also I don’t understand Barnaby’s thought process or motivations. He doesn’t want to get close to Maisie because she will leave but then starts wooing her? He left the coven because he was horrified that they turned a young man into a vampire but was horrified by the implied hundreds that he killed?
Regardless it was sweet and quick and cozy. it reminded me of Hazel Mack’s series, but better written.

It exactly what you want from a Jessa Kane. Instalove with a powerful possessive man and an innocent beauty. The FMC in this one is smart and coy and I love that. She also makes the first and second moves which is refreshing from this kind of book. And I love that the power imbalance was discussed and anguished over. It wasn’t fixed too simply.
Also it was super hot.

They feel they can’t stay together since it is taboo due to their parents dating. When they arrive and announce they amicably split, Benjamin runs away.

I LOVE Layla Fae. I love the way she writes, how she fleshes out characters, and their chemistry.
However, this book was a little too much for me. He was OTT damaged and dangerous and she was TSTL in near every aspect. There is being open and trusting and then there is being downright stupid and she toppled heavily into the latter.
Logan is a physically and mentally scarred former military man who watched his fellow soldiers be tortured and killed while he had to keep state secrets and it has resulted in traumatic mutism. Emma is a chaotic do gooder who works at a library and takes in homeless people and stray animals. He is neat and she is messy. He starts stalking her, breaking in, cleaning her house and watching her sleep (and ahem more). They then start a relationship outside of her knowledge of this and when he tries to scare her away by revealing all, she is happy about it??? Then he puts on a mask and can talk and really roughly fuck her (including spitting in her mouth and dominance and bondage). It’s a little too unhinged for me.
Damaged stalker MMC. TSTL FMC. Stalker. Spitting into mouth. Watching and masturbating without her knowledge. Huge cock. Stretching. Talking her through it. Good girl. Bondage. Twisted love. No OWD. Some OMD (he gets jealous when she makes muffins for someone but then finds out it’s for him. And her ex comes crawling around). No pregnancy. No breeding. No kids. Epilogue with them living together and having sex. ...more

It was sweet and short and if you’re looking for a slice of life Christmas novella this may just be exactly what you want.
But I don’t know. It didn’t hit the spot for me. Maybe because of how long the “this can’t last� and mutual pining went on and NEITHER OF THEM SAID ANYTHING. It felt like a different type of a miscommunication trope. He didn’t want to pressure her to stay and she didn’t want to ask for what she wanted and it just felt like angst for no reason.
But it really was sweet. I liked Holly and Irving. And not too long of a little book.

Synopsis: Hope finds her good for nothing husband plotting to leave with his mistress, who is planning to rob and poison Hope. **spoiler alert** 3.5/5
Synopsis: Hope finds her good for nothing husband plotting to leave with his mistress, who is planning to rob and poison Hope. Thus she runs into the woods where she is taken by raiders who seek to rape her (this is only the first of 3 sets of people who seek to rape her throughout the book). She is rescued by her centaur, Calden, a strong warrior who has never wanted a mate and never taken a human woman. He takes care of her but his lack of forwardness (due to his being frightened she isn’t ready since her near rape) causes her to believe he will never love her (despite her realizing she loves him) so she runs away. Right into a witch. The evil witches sons threaten to rape her (now the 2nd of 3) and she is sold by the witch to a group of evil centaurs and is AGAIN almost raped (3/3). A truly excessive amount of rescue needed. It’s a bit painful how long bf it goes on. Her centaur challenges the bad centaur who has dibs on Hope and he wins then takes her home and they FINALLY fuck. At the 92% mark. Then it is finally happily ever after and lots of sex and even a little comeuppance for her former husband when she goes back to collect her things.
A good 25 to 35% of the book is her struggling and in terrible peril. Also we hear other women be brutalized (and not be rescued). Honestly it is totally unnecessary.

Oh my goodness. It was so good. The mutual pinning was so delicious. I love books where she thinks he hates her but his POV is alllllll simp.
The way they slowly made their way to each other was so charming and their chemistry was top tier. And I laughed out loud at Killians antics a couple of times. To see their relation blossom alongside Magnolia and Garrek was genuinely a delight. Killian needed a mom and a friend so badly and magnolia easily and effortlessly fell into that role. And his behavior change was so heartwarming. And how exasperated it made Garrek was hilarious.
And his turmoil over loving her when he knows she is destined for his cousin, a cousin he feels he owes his life to and who he wronged is a lovely plot point. Watching that resolve was beautiful. Oaken is a good man and I cannot wait for his story.
