This short story made me happy! I couldn't stop smiling and giggling while reading this book. I even saved the motivational speech Iris gave herself for myself later. Author Keri had her characters use unique and interesting decriptions in the book. "I'm a little sparkly (because I refuse to sweat)" Her characters felt so real and I loved getting into the characters heads thanks to the dual POV. If you're looking for a good, spicy supernatural love story, you've found it.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Ok did I totally geek out when I realized that this book included a book convention in Baltimore…yes.
Was I kicking and squealing with joy when I realized that it was a “very close description“ of my favorite book convention I’ve ever attended…. yes, yes i did.
I seriously am in shock that this was this author’s first book!
The way she flawlessly entwined these two characters and their stories.
The FMC, is a true monster f—ker at heart and a total sweetheart that dreams of her very own monster sweeping her off of her feet!
The MMC, is a tall drink of wolf shifter who is a bit of a loner but is an absolute teddy bear when it comes to his scent match.
I loved all the little funny moments…. Whether it was a pop in from a very persistent fae friend or their internal monologues…I found myself cracking up.
And of course these two had such intense chemistry… I loved the scent match dynamic.
But I really just enjoyed how these two characters had this unique start to their relationship…despite being so drawn to one another they took this natural route and got to know each other outside of the primal aspect of being fated mates.
It made their chemistry that much more intense when they finally gave into their desire for each other!
And the fun mail the FMC received from their fae friend had me cracking up!
It was sweet and spicy… and a really fun little read!
*I also want to take a moment to acknowledge that the way this author has the FMC describe this little Monster loving community is so on point…
I have truly never meant a more supportive and kinder group of individuals!
