About the author
Ebony Brightman
6 books17 followersI love flawed protagonists, women who (sometimes emotionally, sometimes physically) kick ass, and seductive (not strictly human) men that are wild in the sack. While strife and sex make my stories go-round, I’m a big fan of things working out for the best, and by the end of the series at least, a hard won HEA.

When reality and fantasy collide.
Nisa has been married to Shane for a few years, and despite appearing to be a happy couple, they hide a harsh reality. The marriage is phony.
Shane's fame for being a great writer is thanks to Nisa, but he continues not only to cheat on her, but humiliates her whenever he can.
The high point of their unsuccessful marriage occurs when they travel to apparently Shane to sign an advantageous contract, but there, Nisa ends up meeting an interesting and mysterious man. More than that, she is introduced to a creature - a Lycan - who turns Nisa's life inside out.
To defend their lives, the Lycans will force Nisa to accept an agreement.
But in the end, a surprising news changes everything...
Interesting plot, but there's a cliffhanger.

Woman learns how to stand up for herself against her emotionally abusive, cheating husband by having sex with a werewolf. The emotional abuse and cheating is really hard to read about, so trigger warnings for that. I'm not really sure if the protagonist's immediate obsession and desire to return and have more sex with the first were-creature she met is all that plausible but then, compared to her husband, the were-creatures are probably immensely appealing. There were plenty of sex scenes, but someone else will have to tell me if they're hot or not, because I'm not wired that way. Main criticism is of the pacing. The last 10-20% of it seemed really rushed and the story ended in a way that felt like there's still at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the story left. There are of course sequels, but the novella reads like maybe the stories should all be combined into one novel rather than novella series. Strangely uplifting feminist paranormal romance reading experience in the aftermath of #metoo. Still deeply uncomfortable about the cheating.

I am not happy ☺ right now due to me having to wait!
Shane have no shame. But I was disappointed in Nisa. She came off as a woman tolerating her husband's betrayal. Willa pissed me off by the contract. That was a heartless deal. But what I want to know is who's baby is Nisa pregnant with, Arlo or Shane? Will Arlo know automatically by scent alone? This is getting frustrating. I now have to wait for book 2. Ugh!!

Love this author. Will but more of her books. Great story. Shane was a loser, and after Nissa met Arlo she finally realized she was cheating herself from happiness and recognition for her writing. Nissa comes into her own in this book and a loved the humor. And Arlo. What a hotty!! The book ends with a cliffhanger, but it was so good I immediately book the second book and read it. Even better than the first.

I think I can safely say this is my final book for 2023.
I loved this. A strong introduction to the series. Proper pacing and cliff hanger/end scene. Enough passionate smut. Gorgeous cover.
I'll be reading more from this series in the new year.
I wasn't a fan of the infidelity but Shane is a motherfucking bastard that I want to slap with a hot pan.

WOW! I love werewolf books but I didn't expect this.
In one weekend Nisa found her voice, embraced her body and found happiness. But not with her husband.

Wow!
This was such an engrossing story that I hate that it’s over. Nisa and Arlo were so hot together and I throughly disliked Shane. I hope that Nisa and Arlo get a HEA!

This was pretty good.
I love when shifters do things in their monster forms.
