Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare

3.5

Wow, I had a great time with this book considering it had a forbidden romance (brother’s best friend) and a manipulative female lead (trying to break up another relationship), both things I tend to dislike. However, Tessa Dare has a way of creating characters that make me empathize with them even if I want to knock some sense into them (I wouldn’t call it miscommunication, more a lack of communication, and even though it was sometimes frustrating, it was in a satisfying way that felt true to life). It sometimes fell into the trap of instalove or equating passion and love, but I did like the discussions about them. The leads as individuals were a bit much, but I did feel like they were well suited and liked that the plot went in ways I wasn’t expecting. I definitely liked the second half more than the first, seeing them navigate issues as a couple. I am glad I read this debut of hers and am excited to delve into more of her backlist after this one. 👥⚖️🗝☁️
