Mated for the Holiday
A fated avalanche. A week with the Alpha. One discovery that changes everything.
When Junie Watts finds herself stranded in a snowstorm, she never imagined her rescuer would be the very creature she’s been told to fear: a brooding, dark-haired werewolf shifter. After three years without a break, Junie is forced to confront her work-life balance—and maybe, just maybe, her own desires.
Silas Woodfield has always put his pack first, but the arrival of a sassy, curly-haired human threatens that. Between being spellbound to never have a mate and taking over the entire North, Silas can’t afford distractions. Still, when he insists Junie stay in his cabin for her safety, their snowed-in week turns into something neither of them expected.
As rogue packs close in, Silas is more convinced than ever that claiming a mate would be a mistake. Unfortunately for him, Junie is determined to change their fate.
Mated for the Holiday is a cozy, medium-heat, shifter romance. Tropes include: snowed in, strangers to lovers, and fated mates. This is a companion novel to Hexed for the Holiday, a witchy, paranormal romance. Perfect for fans of the grumpy banter in Mate by Ali Hazelwood, the small-town feel of Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison, or the thrill of encountering the unknown in Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had the pleasure of reading this as an ARC, and it was such a cozy, captivating surprise! The avalanche-forced proximity created the perfect atmosphere—snowed in, isolated, and emotionally charged in all the best ways.
The werewolf shapeshifter element added just the right touch of intrigue, but what really made this story shine was the push-and-pull relationship between the characters. Their tension, hesitation, and growing connection felt natural and deeply engaging, making every interaction meaningful.
This book balances warmth and intensity beautifully. If you love cozy settings, supernatural romance, and a slow-burn dynamic filled with emotional depth, this one is absolutely worth picking up.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Courtney Corlew for my advanced copy of Mated for the Holiday to read and review!
When a book is attributed to the likes of Mate by Ali Hazelwood, Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon, and Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison, my interest is immediately piqued. Because those are three VERY different kinds of books and genre of books.
Unfortunately, I didn’t love this one as much as I’d hoped. I think this is half a me issue and half a writing issue.
I am still relatively new to the omega-verse genre, so there are still quite a few *mechanisms* that make me squirm. Knotting aside, this was the first book where the wolf was a separate part of the alpha. I normally don’t hear that they’re separate, so that was interesting. I will say that I really do hate reading the words, “take my knot” when I’m reading a spicy scene, but again, that’s just a me thing lol.
I liked the forced proximity aspect of the story. Junie is trapped in Silas’ cabin due to the avalanche and snowstorm. I liked the banter between Junie and Silas as a result. Sometimes I found the banter to be a bit forced, especially with the “brat” nickname, but that’s okay.
What I didn’t love was the unclear flow of the story. For instance, I thought I had missed an entire chapter of them being intimate because it’s not there. But the main characters talk about it like we should know what happened. And I feel like that was a huge part of their connection that the reader misses out on. It didn’t need to be an explicit scene, but maybe just some of the thoughts both were having after.
Also, although the title is “Fated for the Holiday”, I wouldn’t categorize this as a holiday book. Definitely winter vibes with the snowy climate, but nothing is overly holiday. You can read this one anytime.

Mated for the Holiday by Courtney Corlew is a cozy, fun paranormal romance that delivers exactly what you’d want from a light holiday read — warm vibes, magic, and a sweet friends‑to‑lovers twist. The story centers on Ophelia, a witch running her late mother’s magical shop, and Sam, her longtime childhood friend who returns home just as a snowstorm and a meddling ghost grandma force them into one unforgettable night together. 
What really makes this novella charming is its blend of cozy holiday energy and witchy fun. The snowed‑in setting immediately casts a festive, intimate mood, and the paranormal elements — from hexes gone wrong to truth‑serums and ghostly matchmaking antics — add a playful, whimsical layer to an already tasty romance. 
Ophelia and Sam’s dynamic feels earned despite the story’s short length. Their chemistry, rooted in a lifelong friendship and secret crushes, unfolds in a way that’s both sweet and spicy. The romance doesn’t drag — it moves quickly, fitting for a novella — but still gives enough heart to make you care for their happily‑ever‑after. 
The magic is a highlight, blending seamlessly with character moments and keeping the tone light and enchanting. The meddling ghost grandma and the magical mishaps contribute laughter and chaos alike, giving the story personality beyond the tropes. 
If you’re looking for a quick, cozy paranormal romance perfect for the holiday season — with friends‑to‑lovers tension, witchy delights, and plenty of heat — Mated for the Holiday is a delightful, festive read that delivers exactly what it promises.

4.5/5
I received a review copy and these are my thoughts:
Junie finds herself stuck in the snow after a snowstorm/avalanche. What she didn’t expect was for a werewolf to come to her rescue. Sparks fly immediately between her and Silas, only to be dampened by the Alpha’s foul temperament. With no way of returning home, she accepts to be taken to his camp site until the weather improves. What was supposed to be a one-to-two days stay with the pack, turns into a week that could forever change both of their lives.
I loved this book! It was fun and hot! For a book with about 200 pages, you get a solid story from beginning to end, that doesn’t dwell on unnecessary drama - and there is plenty of drama! This was a fated mates romance, so of course the MCs fell fast and hard, but for different reasons, none of them wanted to let their mutual attraction turn into something deeper. Their one-night stand or “multiple-night stand”, quickly proved to not be the solution to whatever was brewing between them. Junie and Silas had great chemistry. The tension and attraction between them was palpable but they were very similar energy-wise and Junie was just as grumpy as Silas and stood up to the Alpha like no one else would dare. Their banter was less “flirty” and more bickering, making me laugh throughout the book.
I feel like most shifter romances are very "spice heavy" and less plot driven. Here, though I wouldn't have minded a little more spice, what we got was HOT! Corlew found a great balance between plot and spice. We also got character development and emotional growth from both MCs and I liked how they transitioned from having a “situationship” that stemmed from their physical attraction, to a place where their feelings and mutual care grew deeper.
I also really liked the side characters. They knew just when to lend Junie and Silas a helping hand.
If you like wolf shifter romances and are looking for something short, cute and entertaining, then give this book a go!
[Spice: 1.5-2/5]

🌶️🌶️🌶️
When I tell you I was excited to go back to Starview, I was underselling it because I have been yearning for this town.
I absolutely loved Hexed for the Holidays and when I saw a trip back to Starview was coming I knew I’d be hooked.
I absolutely devoured this book and loved it more than the first - Junie was the perfect FMC and Silas is such a great MMC.
Junie is the best friend and sister from the first book and I’m so glad she had her moment to shine.
She’s an overworked sassy entrepreneur, with no time for love in her life.
Silas is the Alpha of the pack and about to be Alpha of the North - he has a lot going on, including dealing with past heartbreak from his chosen mate leaving him for her fated, leading to being spellbound by a witch just to cope.
After Junie finds herself stranded on the mountain during a snow storm leading to avalanches, she meets a werewolf, whose pack do rescues on the mountain during the season, she is forced to take a well earned break from work and life due to being snowed in.
Little did either of them know it would be the beginning of forever.
This story has everything you want and need in a shifter romance - it’s got yearning, fighting, kidnapping, found family and knotting.
Thank you @courtneycorlewauthor for this fantastic book and I’m so glad you are in your paranormal era - can’t wait for more!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️ — A Cozy, Snowy, Spicy Return to Starview
🌶️🌶️🌶️ (2.5–3)
As an ARC reader for Hexed for the Holiday, I was already excited to return to Starview… but this novella somehow topped the first one for me. The storyline grabbed me right away, and I genuinely loved it even more than book one.
Junie was such a refreshing FMC — sassy, overworked, determined, and finally getting her moment to shine after being the best friend/sister in the first book. And Silas? He matched her energy so well. Steady, patient, protective, and carrying just enough emotional baggage to make him interesting without dragging the story down. Their dynamic was addictive in the best way.
The winter setting, the avalanche rescue, the forced downtime, the werewolf pack… who doesn’t love snow and werewolves? The vibes were immaculate. The tension between them built beautifully, and even without being fully spice‑heavy, it still delivered a solid 2.5–3 peppers worth of heat.
This novella has everything I want in a shifter romance: yearning, danger, pack bonds, found family, and yes — the knotting. It’s fast‑paced, cozy, and just plain fun.
My only tiny wish (without spoiling anything) is that we got a bit more after the sbow stopped. But honestly, that just means I wasn’t ready to leave them yet.
I’m so glad Courtney Corlew is in her paranormal era, and I cannot wait to see what else she brings to Starview.

Mated for the holidays by
At just 170 pages this book was so entertaining I didn’t put it down until I was done! Sorry fam that was my hour of Junie testing every bit of will power and patience Silas had and it was hilarious. There’s a lot packed into this super fast read it kinda blew my mind that it was all done in 170 pages!
What to expect:
🐺 Wolf shifter Vs Human
💜Sunshine Vs Grumpy
🐺Rival wolf packs
💜Fated mates
🐺Knots
💜Snowed in
🐺Anti hero
Book overview:
A fated avalanche. A week with the Alpha. One discovery that changes everything.
When Junie Watts finds herself stranded in a snowstorm, she never imagined her rescuer would be the very creature she’s been told to fear: a brooding, dark-haired werewolf shifter. After three years without a break, Junie is forced to confront her work-life balance—and maybe, just maybe, her own desires.
Silas Woodfield has always put his pack first, but the arrival of a sassy, curly-haired human threatens that. Between being spellbound to never have a mate and taking over the entire North, Silas can’t afford distractions. Still, when he insists Junie stay in his cabin for her safety, their snowed-in week turns into something neither of them expected.
As rogue packs close in, Silas is more convinced than ever that claiming a mate would be a mistake. Unfortunately for him, Junie is determined to change their fate.

ARC Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really wanted to love this book, and I think that’s what makes this review feel a bit conflicted. The overall plot was cute and had a lot of potential, and I appreciated the idea of two characters navigating attraction while carrying past trauma.
However, the dynamic between the main male and female characters felt more frustrating than emotionally engaging for me. A lot of the conflict relied on stubbornness and immature attitudes, and while I understand this was meant to stem from unresolved trauma and the process of healing, it often came across as repetitive rather than reflective of real growth over time. Instead of watching the characters evolve, I found myself feeling “meh” and occasionally annoyed.
I do think the story would have been stronger with a more mature tone, especially given the themes it was trying to explore. That said, it’s still an easy, quick read and works well as a light instalove story where feelings are strong, even if the characters aren’t quite ready to act on them.
This book may appeal to readers who enjoy fast-paced, cute romances with emotional tension and minimal angst resolution. Thank you to the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

ARC Review
Mated for the Holiday by Courtney Corlew
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mated for the Holiday was an entertaining paranormal romance that delivered on tension, chemistry, and cozy vibes.
The push-and-pull dynamic between the characters was one of my Favourite parts, full of banter, attitude, and undeniable attraction. The sassy baker FMC paired with the grumpy alpha MMC made for such a fun, fiery combination, and their interactions kept me smiling throughout.
If you love paranormal romance with shifters, fated mates, snowed-in situations, and plenty of tension, this book is absolutely for you. It had that perfect blend of cozy atmosphere and supernatural romance that makes it an easy, bingeable read.
The chemistry between the main characters was strong, but I would have loved to see a little more on-page romance to fully feel the depth of their connection (and of course for the spice). A few more moments focused purely on their relationship would have elevated it even more for me.
Overall, this was a cute, fun, and engaging read with great banter, a strong FMC, and a grumpy MMC who was impossible not to love.
Tropes include:
• Shifter Romance
• Grumpy x Grumpy
• Alpha MMC
• Sassy Baker FMC
• Forced Proximity (Snowed In)
• Fated Mates
• Knotting

Thank you so much for trusting me to be a Beta reader for this amazing book. Mated for the Holiday was an amazing read! Even without reading the first book (which is on my list for tonight) I had no trouble jumping right in!
As an unapologetic Omegaverse reader, the werewolves immediately pulled me in, but what truly made this story shine were the characters. You will love the sassy FMC, (human, baker) and the grumpy MMC (an Alpha werewolf). Junie is so confident and true to herself from start to finish, never wavering in her instincts. I loved that she never changes who she was or gave up on what she knew was meant to be. Silas was the perfect balance of grumpy and sassy. There may have been one moment where I wanted to yell at him a bit, but overall he was exactly the kind of moody hero I love to read about.
There were so many laugh out loud moments, and a lot of sweet moments too. It's a perfect Holiday read! If you like a Werewolf romance, or a magic / witchy vibe book with fate bonds and strong heroines this is the book for you!

❄️ I couldn’t put this paranormal wolf shifter novella by Courtney Corlew! I was hooked from the very beginning by the sassy personality of Junie, the FMC. Add that to the grumpy vibes of Silas, the MMC, and you have the perfect recipe for some great banter!
🐺Junie, an overworked baker, is rescued from an avalanche by Silas, the Alpha of his pack. The catch? The avalanche has blocked Junie’s way out, so she has to stay with Silas until the snow goes away (a total tragedy, right?) They both feel a strong pull to one another, but they only have until the snow stops to explore those feelings. And then there’s the pesky issue of rogue packs out to harm Silas’ pack, and in turn, Junie.
❄️Between the banter, tropes, and perfect pinch of spice, I didn’t want the story to end!
💜You will love this novella if you love💜

So this book started out really strong and funny but unfortunately it kind of lost momentum as it went. Though I enjoyed the read there were definitely some story flow issues; and I feel like it would have been way better as an actual novel and less as a novella. There were a few spots I thought I had missed a whole chapter (I don’t know if it had been removed or was never there) but I just found the story jumped around quite a lot and over all there was a whole lot of different plot points happening at once.
I did enjoy the first proximity aspect and especially Silas giving her the nickname of “brat”. I did like Junie’s character as a whole and how she interacted with the others. Silas was starting to become insufferable towards the back half of the book. I felt like for 6 chapters it was all we can’t be together but I want you, which I usually enjoy a good push pull but unfortunately with this book I feel like all that time could have been used for furthering the plot.
Also and this is just a side note for people who like high spice book this is note it. I personally don’t need spice in a book to enjoy it but this is your warning.
Overall this book was a funny quick read and I’m glad I got the opportunity to be part of the ARC team.

Also and this is just a side note for people who like high spice book this is note it. I personally don’t need spice in a book to enjoy it but this is your warning.
Overall this book was a funny quick read and I’m glad I got the opportunity to be part of the ARC team.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This is the second Courtney Corlew´s book I've read, and I think if you read Hexed for the Holiday before this one would improve the experience.
This book is about Junie, we met her previously, and Silas.
Junie is stucked in the snow during a blizzard and Silas, a werewolf shifter, rescued her.
The chemistry between them sparked instantly, but they stubbornness dimed their attraction.
What started as a one-night stay became a week with his pack.
The tension between them is so palpable that sometimes is frustating in a almost 200 pages novella.
Tropes you can find in this book:
- Wolf shifter/ Human
- Grumpy/Grumpy
- He falls first
- Fated mates
- Knotting
- Only one cabin
- Dual 1st person POV
- Novella
This is an open-door novella with spicy scenes. And talking about shifters, there's knotting, of course.
My ratings:
4/5⭐
2/5🌶️
I’ve received this book as an ARC and I’d like to thank the author, Courtney Corlew for letting me read this book in advance and allow me to give my honest opinion.

I'm on a werewolf/shifter romance kick right now and this hit the spot for me.
Very cute, somewhat spicey, forced proximity romance. It's a continuation of Hexed for the Holiday, though you wouldn't necessarily have needed to read that first.
First reactions: I love that Junie finds her someone. Though it annoys me that Silas fights it so badly. I could have done with little more spice though that's just a personal preference. The characters are well written, though you really don't get answers about the rouge werewolves. Like their origins or things like that but again it's a quick novella so that's minor background information. Overall, it's a good romance to read on any cold winter night.
FYI This is a quick novella with insta-love. So, if you like shifters, fated mates, and forced proximity romances then this is for you!
***I was honored to have read this as an ARC from the author. These thoughts and feelings are my own.***

This book started really strong. The premise was cute, the couple had great banter and chemistry, and I love a forced proximity trope. I was able to get a very clear sense of the characters early on, despite the book being on the shorter side.
I was pretty disappointed that the first few sex scenes were off page. This is a romance novel, after all. There is less emotional payoff for the reader with this (to be clear, I'm not just talking about the sex). When there was an on page scene at the end, it felt less impactful because they had already had their "many night stands." But you could not really compare the difference in intimacy because of this they were off page. It almost read like I was missing chapters in my book.
I did not like the second half of the book nearly as much. It felt stilted, a little rushed, and the characterizations of the mmc and fmc were not consistent. There were a few plotlines that felt abandoned or forgotten in the end.
Either way- if you are looking for a cute and cozy winter read, this is a good choice.

🍪🐺ARC Review🐺🍪
Thank you Courtney Corlew for this ARC of Mated for the Holidays‼️
From the moment we met Junie in Hexed for the Holidays I knew I was gonna love her! How she was obsessed with the idea of werewolves and knotting and when all of a sudden the fates stepped in and gave her the opportunity to have what she had always dreamed of.
Silas knew what a mate bond looked/felt like but truth be told he had NO idea! And when he stumbled across a human that needed rescuing from a soon to be avalanche, that when he got the slightest glimpse of his future and her name was Junie!
The sass and banter of these two was top notch grumpy x black cat vibes/energy… but when they both gave in and stopped fighting the pull that they had toward each other it was pure bliss.
Again Nicole like always it was an honor and SO MUCH fun buddy reading with you!!
Tropes:
🍪Baker FMC
🐺Werewolf Alfa MMC
🍪Grumpy x Grumpy
🐺Snowed In
🍪Fated Mates
🐺Knotting

ARC REVIEW:
4.5⭐️
Blurb:
When Junie Watts finds herself stranded in a snowstorm, she never imagined her rescuer would be the very creature she's been told to fear: a brooding, dark-haired werewolf shifter.
Silas Woodfield dedicated Alpha, has always put his pack first; but the arrival of a sassy, curly-haired human threatens that. It’s later revealed he is spellbound to never have a mate and taking over the entire North, Silas can't afford distractions.
Despite all this , he insists Junie stay in his cabin for her safety, their snowed-in week turns into something neither of them expected.
Review:
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. This is such a cute, fast paced story. It is an easy read, despite the length of the book it did not lack in anything. I enjoy everything about it.
If you enjoy…possessive Alpha, yearning/ slowburn , spice , fated mates, and hilarious banter; then this is a great read for you.
Thank you Courtney Corlew for this eARC.

Oh my gosh, this book, I could not put it down. I absolutely loved the plot, characters, and absolutely everything else about it. 🖤💜 Review Below! ⬇️
*** Mated for the Holiday by Courtney Corlew is a fast-paced, steamy shifter romance packed with fate, danger, and forced proximity. When Junie Watts is rescued from a snowstorm by a brooding Alpha werewolf, she’s thrown into a world she was taught to fear, and a desire she can’t ignore.
Snowed in together, Junie and Silas clash, flirt, and ignite a bond neither of them expected.
With rogue packs closing in and Silas convinced that claiming a mate would be a mistake, the tension stays high both emotionally and physically.
What I love about this book is that it’s a cosy yet intense read full of fated mates energy, possessive Alpha vibes, and an MFC determined to change her fate.
This book is perfect for anyone who loves a short, spicy paranormal romance with heart. ***
Publishing January 20th 2026!
Happy reading! 📚

This started off strong with Junie, human, and Silas, Alpha's banter and how Silas felt differently about Junie. I enjoy the tropes of forced proximity and fated mates but the instalove was a bit much.
I was not a fan of Silas walking away from Junie multiple times and how the author just skipped over the first few times they get together. We get told why Silas has to stay away but because these scenes are not further explained, we don't see Silas' struggle throughout.
Even when Junie gets kidnapped, Silas passes out instead of being able to save her, which kind of took me out of the romance. He's supposed to be the hero!
It's a quick read and while the idea was there, the execution fell a bit flat. Thank you to the author, Courtney Corlew, for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review!

Book Review: Mated for the Holiday by Courtney Corlew🌙🥐❄️
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
✨️Available Jan. 20, 2026✨️
Of all the werewolf romance books I have read, this is one of the best!
Personally, I have always had a bias toward werewolf books. They are just so addicting! The fated mates trope is probably my favorite trope out there, and this story was a perfect representation of it!
I was worried the book would be too short (because I'm always wanting more when it comes to werewolf books), but at about 140 pages, I'd say this novella was the perfect length.
And THE ROMANCE. The romance was perfect. There was banter. There was spice. And a healthy amount of yearning from ALL sides.
If you love, all things paranormal, I would recommend this novella for you!
💕Tropes:💕
• Fated Mates
• Werewolf x Baker
• Slowburn
• Grumpy x Grumpy
• She Takes Care of Him
• Snowed In

Mated for the Holiday was a cute, festive, and easy holiday read that I genuinely enjoyed. The snowed in setting paired with grumpy x grumpy energy and fated mates made this such a cozy winter escape. I flew through it quickly and appreciated how light and comforting it felt, especially for a seasonal werewolf romance.
The setup had a lot of potential, and while I personally would have loved deeper werewolf lore, more tension, and a bit more intensity, the story still delivered a fun and satisfying experience. It never fully went feral, but it was sweet, festive, and easy to sink into.
Overall, this is a great pick if you are looking for a quick, cozy holiday shifter romance that does not take itself too seriously. I may not reread it, but I am glad I picked it up and would recommend it for the right mood.
Thank you so much to the author for allowing me to be an ARC reader.

i love love love werewolf shifter romances and have honestly been craving one lately. so this book really hit the spot! oh my goodness this was such a cute book! and it is also really short so you will fly right through it. i
i will admit i had siri read it to me so i could get some cleaning around the house done and man i was smiling and giggling to myself as i cleaned just from the book. the cleaning also didnt last long because i got so invested that i needed to sit down and actually read it, so that was exactly what i did and next thing i knew i finished the book 😂
so if that sounds like something you want, i definitely recommend reading this cute book!!
thank you courtney corlew for giving my the opportunity to read and review this book! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Because this is a novella, I'll keep my review short and sweet, too. After reading Hexed For The Holiday: A Magical Paranormal Romance, I was really hoping that Junie would get a happy ending next. What I didn't expect was that she'd end up stranded on the side of the road during a snow storm and get snowed in with the hot alpha shifter, Silas.
Though short, this packed a punch, and I really enjoyed it. It was fast paced and had just enough content to get you hooked early. If you like Bride and Mate by Ali Hazelwood, you'll enjoy the novellas in this world.
Thank you to Courtney for the advanced copy for my review!

Such a cute/cozy story! I loved how, even though there was some drama, it was not the main focus of the plot.
I loved how Sassy and Stubborn Junie is!! The way she stood up to/sassed the Alpha had me giggle a few times. Her internal monologue cracked me up (because same girl, same). Her pastries sound delightful, and now I want one.
Silas is my type I’m afraid lol Tall, Dark Hair, Tattoos, & Abs.... what is there not to like? Other than his asshole responses (which honestly is basically just foreplay nowadays lol). I love how, despite his grumpy exterior, he folds so easily when it comes to Junie.
I would have loved this book to be longer, because honestly? I can’t get enough of the banter/chemistry between Junie and Silas.
10/10 Would read again.

I was lucky enough to get this as an ARC. Mated for the Holiday by Courtney Corlew was the first book I've ever read by her. I will be going back and reading more. I loved the paranormal side of the story and the shifter element. The push and pull of the relationship between June and Silas made for a good story with a good plot. June was trying to go see her friend and brother when she got stuck in the snow in the middle of where there's avalanches. Silas is the one who rescues her and is completely grumpy. The nicknames are cute and hilarious. He's her a**hole and she's his brat. Though I'm glad that things worked out for them.

I could not put this book down! I finished it in a 24 hour period. I have always been team vampire over team werewolf. Could this book have persuaded me to switch teams? I think it may have just done that! I went into this book thinking I was late reading it as a Christmas or holiday book, but that’s not the case. Holiday=Vacation in this case. 5 stars! I recommend. It’s a quick read with the perfect amount of spice to plot ratio and has a nice mix of open and closed door spice. Overall, I enjoyed the time I spent with Junie and Silas! I have to go back and read the first book in this series and get to know Ophelia and Sam a bit better!
Review of advance copy received from Author
This was my first ever shifter book! I was very grateful for the opportunity to read this early. This is my second book from this author and I’ve realized that Courtney is very talented when it comes to writing a complete story in a shorter format.
The pacing was great and I really enjoyed the banter between Silas and Junie! It was, of course, great to see Ophelia and Sam again from the previous book.
I don’t typically love the whole “instalove” stuff but given the circumstances of our two characters (paranormal and otherwise), it makes sense for this particular story! Can’t wait to see more from this author :)

*ARC Review*
I absolutely devoured this story. It was a cozy, short, sweet and a little steamy read.
The connection between Silas and Junie was palpable from the beginning and they both tried to deny their chemistry. I enjoyed how Junie always called out Silas for his grumpiness and how he always called out her brattiness. Their banter was top tier and kept me very entertained. While there were only a few spicy scenes, the ones there were had me 🥵.
I would definitely recommend this if you are a paranormal lover or if you are wanting to dip your toes into the genre.
This was my first read by Courtney, but it most definitely won’t be the last.
Thank you for the ARC!
