I've always been a huge Ali H fan, but she has TRULY outdone herself with this one. I am begging on my knees for her to ditch the romcoms and exclusively write paranormal romances.

Bride is the vampire/werewolf marriage of convenience romance we've been craving. Misery agrees to be married off to the Alpha of the Southwest pack. But what no one knows is her true motivation. She teams up with some unlikely allies to solve a mystery that ends up a tangled web of politics and deceit that's decades in the making. 

Romantic suspense aside, let's talk about the omegaverse of it all. When I first heard this story was a little 'knotty', I was nervous! BUT Ali Hazelwood worked her magic and left us with just the right amount of wolfyness and less of the A/B/O dynamics that can quickly bog down a more contemporary story like this one.
