Bride

BRIDE—————————————-

Jamie read this right before me and made me nervous about the smut portion, but I could care less about the semi strange, (and KNOT necessary – yes, pun intended), werewolf sex details because I absolutely loved everything else. I was originally excited that it was a stand alone but then was so so sad that it was a stand alone. This book will have you truly laughing out loud with the witty banter and hilarious FMC Misery, obsessed with the broody hotness of Lowe and rooting for it all to work out for them.

I will say, I wish it wasn’t asssss slow of a burn but that’s just me. I know it can be a hard balance with a stand alone…(Mate is the 2nd book but will follow different characters). And, I was slightly annoyed with the 1st steamy scene. Like, if I’m waiting until 70% of the book being over – can we not be rushed? IYKYK…trying to not spoil it. But honestly – we LOVE Ali over at BasicBookish and Bride is always one of our top recs from the both of us. It’s delish.

MATE——————————————-

ALI DELIVERS AGAIN! I was a teeny bit scared because I just loved Bride so so much but ugh…so good I'm still thinking about it 2 days later and wishing there was more. Write more in this series PLEASE?! I truly didn't think I'd love these characters as much and came in with a cynical vibe. WRONG. Oh. So. Wrong. This had me even more in the freaking feels than Bride. That knot (pun also intended) in my stomach so many times forbidden love trope it had me in the trenches with them and I loved it every step of the way!

There was a little plot piece I didn't love and didn't think was necessary and kind of messy but meh…really who cares when the rest of the book is so delishhhhh! If you like Bride - don't skip Mate. If you haven't read either - immediately put on your TBR!
