Isa Elrik might not be the best bounty hunter around, but when she attends a supernatural ball that nobody seems to be able to leave, she finds that her most valuable target has been forced into her orbit … and for the first time in years, he has nowhere to go.
Torstein is a big, blond, giant of an Incubi with a smirk worth more than the half-a-million dollar bounty on his head and a list of crimes so famous he’s practically a celebrity. He could be her big ticket … if only he would stop evading her, tricking her, and outright seducing her.
As their exhilarating cat-and-mouse game unfolds, the lines between predator and prey begin to blur, sending her deep into a maze of darkness and instinct as her target turns the tables and she becomes the prey.

Some random quotes:
“She gets to sit on the couch because I find it mysteriously unbearable to have her near me if my hands aren’t on her.” 🫦🫦
“Viking gives Jessica Rabbit a nice, thick carrot,” he replied, far too quickly. 🤣🤣🤣
“Tell me who you belong to and I’ll let you come again.” He snarled the words against my ear. “Our lord and saviour Jes—” LMAOOO🤣🤣🤣
Ms. Jane if you somehow see this, please make a sequel or something 😂
So, I needed a break from the books I was reading and got this wonderful little novella in my email inbox after signing up for the author’s newsletter. I went in completely blind and honestly wasn’t really sure what to expect since even the title gave nothing away lol. I was pleasantly surprised by what I got which was a beyond sexually charged game of cat and mouse with a hilarious FMC and an MMC that I was constantly DROOLING over! 🤤
From the second we met him I loved absolutely everything about Torstein! From his tattoos and blond Viking braid to his big incubus energy (BDE) personality to his panty melting dominant side! It was completely understandable that poor Isa’s brain would almost short circuit every time they interacted because I was right there with her! I’m used to the novellas I read to be very smutty with the plot is spice vibes so the fact that this one had a tension filled slow burn with a satisfying payoff was so refreshing and everything I didn't know I needed!
While the story didn't have the most complicated of plot lines given the limitations of the page count, this world has so much potential! We had just about every magical creature you could think of be mentioned at some point! Some examples include vampires, wolves, fairies, gargoyles, witches, pixies, warlocks, fae, sirens, nymphs, and of course demons and chameleons! I would love to revisit this world if the author ever decided to expand this story or write a new spin off! I kind of hope that she does some day because I want to know if there was a specific reason why Isa was able to see Torstein’s true form from the get-go and if Torstein’s possessiveness was normal incubus behavior or if there was something more to it! 👀
Overall, if you’re looking for a lighthearted palate cleanser with romcom vibes, magic, great sexual tension and chemistry, hilarious banter, and the perfect amount of spice then I would recommend you sign up for Jane Washington’s newsletter ASAP so you can read this too!
Jane, you amazing gem. How do you do it???? Now you must write a series about this. You can't just live us like that. I want more Viking sexy times with our Jessica Rabbit. Pwety Pwease <3<3<3<3<3
3.5 ⭐ Well, that was interesting (not in a bad way). The world-building in this short novella was enough to understand everything, not too much as to get confused.
The way in which I NEED this to be a full length novel is insane. If Jane Washington ends the story here I will truly riot. You can’t give me these characters and then just STOP! The audacity
only part i enjoyed was when they fucked idk, i was bored the whole time otherwise, should've been a full length novel i think i could've loved it then
