Sun-Kissed Fangs
Not yet published
Expected 22 May 26
It’s a dangerous thing, being bonded to a monster.
Two years ago, Harper lost her closest friend. Everyone insists Evie is just missing, but Harper knows better than to entertain pointless hope. Besides, she doesn’t have time to grieve. The club she’s working at is a safety hazard, and her ex refuses to leave her alone, no matter how creatively she snaps at him. A hard life. One she has accepted will never change.
As the world’s only day-walking vampire, Maya produces terror in everyone around her. When the Court of Chains sends her to retrieve the chosen family of a beloved Court member, she’s relieved to get away from the constant staring. But the job isn’t as simple as first assumed.
A wolf is stalking her charge, having marked her as his. A feeling Maya shouldn’t understand, but which is echoed in her own body. The strange woman is sharp, snappy, and so entrancing that any threat pointed her way makes the world turn red. Though Maya never lets her fangs extend, every time she looks at Harper Montgomery, she is dying to have a taste.
Sun-Kissed Fangs is a sapphic paranormal romance about learning how to hope, trust, and love, even when you think yourself unworthy.

Much like Sabor’s other novels I’ve read, once I picked this up I had a hard time putting it back down. I’ve been eagerly waiting to read Maya’s story for a while, I’m so glad this is out now!
While this wasn’t my favorite in the series, it was a great time and I really enjoyed both Maya and Harper as characters. Sabor’s sapphic novels will always be must-reads for me.
I have to say thank you, also, for the ARC! ❤️

I could NOT put this one down! Sun-Kissed Fangs completely wrecked me in all the right ways. Watching Maya and Harper slowly realize they were worthy of love, tenderness, and being truly chosen hurt so good. Their connection feels deeply intimate because neither of them tries to “fix” the other or make them smaller for their pasts. They simply love each other as they are, scars and all.
Getting to finally meet and spend time with Evie’s found-family made this world feel even richer, and learning more about Maya added so much emotional depth to everything. Rawnie Sabor writes yearning, vulnerability, and devotion in a way that sinks straight into your blood. And, as always, the spice absolutely delivers with equal parts emotion and steam.
This book truly portrays what it feels like to finally be seen, wanted, and held with both hands and a whole heart.
Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this ARC!
Favorite Quotes:
“It was the kind of smile that could make you spill a thousand secrets. Make you tell every joke you knew, just for the chance of seeing it again.”
“Not everyone got how it felt to be othered because of your identity. To feel alone because of who you were and who you fell in love with.”
“I wasn’t living before I met you. My life didn’t feel like mine. But you showed me. Reminded me. My heart and soul had no purpose before I met you. You are my everything.”

Okay. Once again, I inhaled this freaking book. Rawnie had me in a literal choke hold with these characters.
Maya has been so interesting to me since I met her in Wrath and Patience (yes, I read a straight romance. It was written by Rawnie. Sue me. 😂). Knowing her back story just made me love getting to know her that much more.
She lived a life no one deserved and became something she hated. Until Maya met Harper, who didn't care what everyone else was saying. She was given a fair shot, and she freaking deserved it.
Harper got dealt a less than ideal hand and did what she could. She got lost for a while, but then found a family that loved her like she deserved. When she was at her lowest point, Trish, Evie (yes, that Evie), Nelle, and little Lucas were there to help her.
Her initial reluctance was so well written and believable. Seeing Harper with Maya was like night and day. Alone, Harper was closed off and kind of cold. With Maya, she was warm, bright, and so much more.
The entirety of the story was so well crafted. Even Kieran and his little quest. (No spoilers, I promise). Aleksander gained a bit more respect from me as well. He was a great mentor for Maya, and I honestly believe he helped her accept herself, as well as Harper's refusal to listen to the rumors.
Oh my lord, I loved this story. Maya and Harper have ripped second place from Vex and Angela so easily. Their chemistry, back stories, and growth, both together and individually, just made them jump to second.
They're right behind Reyna and Violet. But it's going to take a lot to beat those two.
Seriously, if you haven't, please, please, please check out the entire sapphic Court of Chains series. Every book is phenomenal, the characters will hook you, and the story will keep you reading.

Is it hot in here or is it just this book?
I got the ARC two days ago and then proceeded to devour this book. I couldn't put it down, I was so invested in Maya and Harper, I love them both. Their chemistry was off the charts, the flirting was so cute, the banter was fun, and the sex scenes were HOT. Very high spice. Passionate with lots of strap play and very sweet aftercare, just the way I like it.
I loved seeing Natalya and Evie return. Aside from the friction with the werewolves, there was also tension between Evie and Maya, which you'll probably appreciate more if you've read other books from this series, but it is in no way required.
The last 25% of the book balanced action, plot, friendship dynamics, and spice so masterfully. Everything came together so well. And I know this is very important for a lot of us: there's no third act breakup!
My favorite book in the Court of Chains series used to be Kiss of Seduction. Now, it may be this one. Truly, Rawnie Sabor never misses.

What.A.Ride. How do I even put this experience into words. I loved Maya as a side character in Green Eyed Monster and I loved her even more as one of the MCs here. And Harper. God Harper. What an actual hot mess and I'm kind of in love with her. Both women are so layered and, not only is their chemistry off the charts, but they stand up so well as individual characters as well.
This book had it all, as all of Rawnie's do. Action, secrets, sex, witty characters. There are a bunch of familiar faces that show up which is one of my favorite parts of an interconnected standalone.
I'd have read 500 more pages of Maya and Harper's story and I cannot wait to see what Rawnie puts out next.
Thank you to the author for the ARC.

I got the ARC from the author
We already know Maya from the previous books and we are already very familiar with her inner demons, her past and "myth" surrounding her.
But then we meet Harper, a witty snappy human who ignores what people say about others and rather wants to hear the story directly from them.
She and Maya are a very dynamic couple, both are snarky, funny and very fast intensely in love.
Similar to the previous books in the Courts of Chains universe the book takes a few unexpected twists and turns, which I love about them.
They aren't cliff-hangers or shocks, just good written twists!
As always Rawnie Sabor delivers a kinky, spicy but yet cute and captivating story

This is hands down one of the, if not, the best books I have ever read. Rawnie Sabor never fails to write everything perfectly. I would give it beyond five stars if I could.
P.S.- You should check out Sabor’s other Court of Chains books if you haven’t. They are very well written, have a fantastic plot, and make you fall in love with the characters.
