One thing about me: I’ll devour anything Ali Hazelwood has on offer, and as a sci-fi/fantasy reader, I was enthralled by her debut paranormal romance! Can an arranged marriage turn into fated mates between a lone vampire and her Alpha were husband? This giddily scentsual, deeply knotty romance had me by the throat, all the while licking my chops from a satisfying backdrop of fantasy world building, political intrigue, and mystery. This one’s a feast for loyal fans and a welcome banquet for the new ones Bride is sure to sire!

I was lucky enough to have received an ARC through Netgalley, and this was easily the best book I have read this year.
I have read every Ali Hazelwood book and have enjoyed them all. But this one... I LOVED this one. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, marriage of convenience - everything I need in a book. I am much more inclined to pick up a contemporary romance, like her previous books, but I loved everything about this one and need more! Ali Hazelwood has truly found her calling, and it is with Supernatural Romance.
These are my favourite characters she has ever written, and I flew through the book. I didn't want it to end. I had been in such a reading slump before this, but the chemistry of the characters, and the relationships and politics of the story were so well written.
I have already raved about this book to all my reader friends, and all my librarian friends, and I have it on pre-order for my personal library.
A must read for romance fans.

Y’all. I liked an Ali Hazelwood?! I LOVED an Ali Hazelwood?! Like is the world ending? I mean Ali’s penchant use of teeny tiny smoll women who yes are so smart but also SO DUMB and big giant fridge size men really annoys me. And although the MMX is large, Misery is TALL. A TALL AH HEROINE!!!! Plus her frequent mistakes and confusion make sense because she was sheltered, raised with humans, and doesn’t understand werewolves. PLUS, she is smart and a bit of a badass. I loved Misery and I loved Lark. Now was it obvious from the jump that Misery was Lark’s mate? 100%. Like come on. Was she dumb for not realizing it? Yes and no. Did it bother me???? NOT At all. This is AH in her element. Give me more omegaverse. And that ending better be hype for a book 2!
