very much a HIT for me!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I really enjoyed this! I found it a lot of fun, spattered with some drama, some bloodshed and some smexy times, and I want to read more of this author.

I loved that Celia was not going to be a proper lady of her time and was going to do what she wanted. Even if she really wanted her bethrothed AND Jackson!

I loved that jackson was, for a pirate, a proper gentleman with Celia, at least til he had a taste.

I loved Jackson's support network and I absolutely did NOT see the twist of who Celia's bethrothed was to Jackson!

Historical romances and pirate romances have been a bit hit and miss for me, but this is most definately a HIT!

ARC received in exchange for a complimentary review.

I have really been winning with the classic paranormals lately. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading authors’ new creations and mythologies, but sometimes, the classics are just tops. A good ole fashion feud between vampires and werewolves? Yes please! Not only that but it was done well.

It was difficult not to love the hero. At first, you think he is going to be just another Alpha. Then you are treated to an open loving man who is willing to modify his actions and thoughts rather than remain unyielding. The heroine was a little more complicated. I agreed with her sense of independence and thoughts about violence. However, you can be independent and still have a partner. At times, Vee is stubborn and set in her ways to the point of being obnoxious. I am all for strong independent women, but I am tired of them associating it with being alone.

Overall, it was a great paranormal novel. An interesting world inhabited by good characters and an action-packed plot to keep you reading until the end. The chemistry didn’t seem forced, and I couldn’t have asked for a more satisfactory ending. I believe this is a standalone for the author, but you can bet I am going to check out some of her other work.

If you are looking for a good paranormal romance for a rainy day, this one’s for you!
