Summary:
A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance.
Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again…
Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was….
Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she’s ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.
My Thoughts:
I LOVED this book.
It was a quick read, but so interesting, detailed and oh so good. The tension between Misery and Lowe was incredible, the tension between the vampires, werewolves, and humans was great, and the plot was super good!
I loved Misery as our FMC, and really felt for her and everything she has gone through in her life. She didn’t deserve any of it and still continued to sacrifice over and over. To feel as though you don’t belong anywhere? I cannot imagine, and I loved seeing her persevere regardless. She held her own in werewolf territory, and all while continuing to try and find her sister and staying under the radar.
Lowe can take me as his mate anytime… he is sexy, smart, a good man, and a great leader. I loved him going back and forth with Misery, wanting her and wanting to trust her, trying to protect his sister and his people, all while dealing with his new role as alpha.
Then we have the spice, the spice tension, and knotting??? 10/10 spice for me. It was so good and there was so much build up, I loved it!
I loved Bride by Ali Hazelwood so much, I did not want it to finish. I truly hope Ali Hazelwood continues to write more in this universe, because there are at least 2 other couples’ stories I would love to read!
Worthy of a re-read.
