Asheville Arcana #2
Forged in Fire
Asheville Arcana
The magic touch.
Ever since Harlan Edgewood was bitten by a possessed werewolf, his monthly shifts have been agonizing. When he meets Whimsy Hickes—a mage who specializes in transformation—the attraction is mutual. But Harlan believes his curse is too great a burden to inflict on any romantic partner.
Fortunately, Whimsy thinks he can help.
When Harlan is provoked into an unexpected change, Whimsy uses his magic to help ease Harlan’s pain, but with an unexpected consequence. While he’s shifted, Harlan’s wolf claims Whimsy as his mate.
As they draw closer, suspicious events in the Asheville magical community escalate. Shifters are disappearing, others are murdered, and Harlan’s curse makes him an obvious target. It will take all of Whimsy’s magic to force back the rising evil—and if he fails, Harlan will lose not only his life, but his very soul.

Admittedly, I quite liked the first book in this series, but I enjoyed this sequel even more!
It’s been a year since the events in Out of the Ashes, and the shifter and supernatural community in Asheville is slowly recovering from the horrible havoc wrought by a group of demon possessed werewolves. Because it was felt that things were left unfinished, that there’s a more nefarious plan in the works, bonded mates Arden and Eli and their friends are still on high alert for what they feel is another inevitable attack.
One of these allies is Arden’s bff Whimsy. He’s a pretty powerful mage and has been beefing up his magical skills just in case. When Whimsy meets Harlan (Eli’s coworker), the attraction is instant, and he realizes that Harlan is not a werewolf but a lycanthrope, a born-human who was bitten and thus subjected to the torturous moon driven change monthly, something that Harlan has no control over. Whimsy, being the caring gentle soul that he is, offers to help Harlan through his transformation, and Harlan can hardly believe his luck at a chance at reprieve from the painful curse he’s been saddled with for the last 300 years. However, Harlan’s wolf is also piqued by his and Whimsy's mutual attraction, and he balks at the possibility of losing control and hurting anyone, let alone Whimsy.
Thus, this is all about Harlan and his struggle with wanting to be with Whimsy and his need to prevent him harm by his dual nature. However, Whimsy is no weakling, and he’s determined to give aid, whether Harlan accepts it or not. What they both never expect though, is for Harlan to claim Whimsy as his mate. What’s a 300 plus year old virgin to do? Well… what ensues is a seriously sweet and caring courting between these two. In and amongst all this loveliness is of course, insistent evil doers still being sinister.
Very easy reading, quite low on the angst, if you want simple unpretentious with a good dose of supernatural sexy thrown in, then I think this series will go down quite nicely. This really excels at likeable and endearing characters who care about each other and their community and are willing to risk a lot to prevent doom and gloom. Harlan is a fabulous gentle giant, respectful, old fashioned and just so darn good, he contrasts well with Whimsy who has a bit of fire in him that fuels his strong nurturing instincts. Like the first book, the current conflict is resolved, but the overall arc is still ongoing, and I really look forward to seeing grumpy vamp Julian, be the next one to get his long desired HEA!

This is the second story in the Ashville Arcana trilogy, which showcases the lives and loves of a diverse cast of supernatural characters, who continually come together to fight evil and save lives within their southern community.
In this sequel to Out of the Ashes, the romantic focus is now on young mage Whimsy and his new love with discovered mate and lycanthrope Harlan.
We met Whimsy in book one, where he played a pivotal role as half-elf Arden’s best-friend, but here we got to dive deeper, learning about his cultural and magical ancestry and seeing how truly and loyally he cares and fights for the people in his life. Although he feels fulfilled with work and precious time with his loved ones, Whimsy wants nothing more than to find the kind of love Arden has found with werewolf alpha Eli, which is why Whimsy lets his friends set him up with park ranger Harlan.
By all accounts, Harlan is a bit of a loner, living a solitary life fairly disconnected from his chosen pack. Ultimately, he sees himself as damaged because of what he perceives as his lycanthrope “curse” – i.e. he was bitten not born a werewolf, and as such, he experiences the shift and the urges significantly differently than those born that way, fighting a constant fear that he will hurt those around him if he loosens the reins on his air-tight control. Yet, Harlan still yearns to love and be loved, having spent 300 years a virgin, but he figures finding a mate is out of his grasp – that is, until he meets Whimsy and his whole worldview gets shaken up.
Together they learn to love, slowly and steadily, acknowledging the mate bond Harlan quickly feels for Whimsy, choosing to take their time and getting to know one another properly, before they dive all-in like so many fated mates tend to do in stories such as this. In truth, the mate slow-burn was a refreshing occurrence and one I appreciated here.
Whimsy and Harlan were super sweet together, no doubt – especially Harlan whose chivalry and attentiveness towards Whimsy made for some truly heartwarming “courting” moments. This could have come across as corny as hell at times, but it was made clear early on that Harlan was an old-soul with old-world beliefs and romantic traditions, so watching him take his time with the person he was meant to be with was damn lovely.
While all the falling-in-love stuff was happening, more bad things started taking place in the supernatural community around them, essentially upping the stakes and continuing on from the demon-possession plot that began to unfold in book one.
This series is one of my favourites among the Dreamspun Beyond stories I’ve read and I can’t wait to see how it all ends for this group of wonderfully magical and kick-ass supernatural friends in the third and final book, Quenched in Blood, where I’m sure all the demon drama will come to a head once and for all!

Another cracking good book from Ari McKay in this Dreamspun Beyond series and the plot is still thickening with no ending yet!
Whimsy and Harlan were ridiculously cute together and I really liked the different take on Harlan's shifter status over the other werewolves. I loved that, as a lycanthrope, he was much closer to the ones in conventional literature who turn with the full moon.
They also blew up the bedroom when they finally got it together and I loved how old fashioned Harlan was in his courting of Whimsy.
The plotting surrounding the possessed pack is moving along rapidly and there's a new mini story ARC on this book which takes us further into the threat of demons.
I'm hoping Julian is getting his romance next and test the narrative will wrap up just what's going on in the series overall as well as give the grumpy vampire his HEA.
I'm wondering is the guy holed up at the Carter farm might just turn out to be his mate and the solution to the demon problem!

I cannot tell a lie. I struggled with this book. It just didn’t hold my attention at all. It was too easy to put down and not think about it again. I finally had to force myself to get with the program. Once I did, I enjoyed the book. It just didn’t wow me. I’m sure I’ll read the next book in the series, but it probably won’t be high on my priorities list. YMMV. 🤷🏽♀️
6/11/2019 I probably still won't remember reading this, but I'm determined to finish this series.

Vampires, werewolves, elves and mages...really what's not to like...although I have to admit...I'm holding out for a dragon!!! Full review to follow soonish!
Update: May 10/18 - Sorry, I'm a little late adding this one but here it is for the curious...my review...
More mysterious goings on in the town of Ashville...
You may remember or not…it doesn’t really matter that my first encounter with the residents of Ashville was via audio book and I loved it so much that when the second book came out I didn’t want to wait for the audio book…you see, this book is about Whimsy!!!!!! That’s right if you saw my review for the first book in this series or possibly anyone else’s for that matter, they may have made mention of Whimsy Hickes…Arden’s best friend and lover to him and the vampire Julian but that all ended when Ander found his mate in the alpha werewolf, Eli Hammond and now we have Whimsy feeling somewhat adrift about his romantic life as Arden is with Eli and Julian…well…Julian seems to have buried himself in some research and left sweet, adorable Whimsy feeling someone alone and adrift.
Thankfully not only is Arden, Whimsy’s best friend, he’s also not the type to leave things alone and he’s sure that he has just the cure for Whimsy in the form of one Harlan Edgewood a lycanthrope…which in the world or Asheville Arcana is a werewolf that was created when they are bitten by another werewolf rather than being born as one and of course the werewolf that bit Harlan was cursed…some people have all the luck…it seems that Harlan’s not one of them.
In the first book as well as Arden and Eli’s romance we had a bit of a paranormal mystery happening and while things seemed to be resolved for the most part in ‘Forged In Fire’ we find out that things aren’t always what they seem to be and the events from ‘Out of the Ashes’ weren’t an ending but a beginning and there’s more to come, that’s right there’s a big ole cliffy here folks and I’m sitting at the edge looking over and wondering… what in the name of all that’s unholy is going to happen next?
As Whimsy and Harlan get to know each other we also get to learn more about the mystery that began in ‘Out of the Ashes’ as well the progress that’s made in the battle against the demons and possessed werewolves and maybe a bear shifter or two, but things aren’t finished with this mystery yet and we’ll need at least book #3 to find out what’s going to happen so let’s go back to Whimsy and Harlan because…so cute and adorable…these two are totally delightful.
Harlan’s a 300-year virgin? I know? Who knew these even existed? But sadly, I must tell you, I think Harlan might be the only one and he’s totally besotted with Whimsy…guaranteed no one else has a chance and yes, I know ‘besotted’ is such an old-fashioned word well trust me, Harlan is such an old-fashioned guy.
Now as for Whimsy it seems that Arden’s not the only one who got more than his share of nurturing instincts. While Arden thought that Whimsy with his mage powers…and folks these are serious kick-ass mage powers that Whimsy has going on here…as in if you value your life don’t mess with his friends and unless you want a one way ticket to…well, sorry you’ll have to read the book to find out where that ticket takes you…just suffice it to say do not mess with Whimsy’s man because you will not like what happens next.
I found Whimsy and Harlan to be a totally delightful pairing…Whimsy with his nurturing and caring ways making him seem so deceptively harmless and Harlan while he seems strong and fiercely independent it turns out that he’s also filled with his own insecurities and a strong desire to have someone to love and to be loved. Not to mention that these two may not have rushed into the bedroom but when they get there things are hot…very, very hot!!!
At the end of it all we’re left with a happily mated Elf and his werewolf from ‘Out of the Ashes’ and a newly mated mage and his lycanthrope from this story and one lonely vampire who thinks that no one sees how lonely he is but Arden and Whimsy see and I’m curious to see how far they’ll go in their efforts to see Julian as happy as they are because as stand-offish as he tries to be Julian is their friend and they’re not prepared to abandon him just because they’ve each found their own happily ever after…that’s just not what friends do for friends.

**grm**
This 2nd book was a bit boring, nothing really happened until we reached almost the end and then all was rushed and no real question was answered. I liked the MCs, Harlan was cute and sexy, and also if 300 years old he was still a virgin and Whimsy was really lucky to find him, but their relationship took way too many pages and I would have liked to read more about the other part of the plot. In the end I wanted to skip pages to move on to the next book and if the 3rd book is actually the last one, I don't think I will be sad at all, all is starting to feel dragged a bit too much.

Ari McKay was new to me until I this series caught my eye, and I just can't get enough of these characters. The romance between Harlan and Whimsy is so sweet as they get to know each other and learn to trust in their feelings. Harlan's innocence is absolutely adorable, especially given his age and how he became a wolf. And Whimsy! Whimsy is, hands down, one of the most lovable characters that I've ever come across, and this pair is so just so good together. In addition to the sweet, we do get a bit of sexy with the romance. Of course, it's not all sunshine and roses for this pair and their pals. There's the matter of demons and who could be behind them to add some suspense and action to the story. The conclusion is somewhat open ended and I can't wait to see what might be next for this wonderful group.

I really liked this one. It was sweet and the drama that started in Out of the Ashes continues with this one but it doesn't end here. The something that was missing for me in book one showed up in this story. I loved Whimsy and Harlan, they really fit. I wish their story was longer.

It’s nice to return to Asheville although I sure wish it were literally and not figuratively. The thought of the cool mountain air, the green lushness, and the beauty all around brought such comfort as I read this second installment from a writer I adore. I was intrigued by Harlan being a lycanthrope versus a born werewolf and, of course, I already liked Whimsy from reading Eli and Arden’s tale. I had a feeling these two men were going to shake a few things up.
Harlan is, indeed, a fascinating man. Several centuries old, he was raised as a Quaker and still holds to many of their beliefs. He is a member of Tharn’s werewolf pack but he knows he’s an outsider even there. Harlan can’t shift at will because he wasn’t born a shifter and most werewolves don’t care for lycanthropes. He is a park ranger with Eli and they have a good friendship but Harlan still feels very separated from humans and other paranormals. When he is invited back to Eli’s for dinner and meets Arden and Whimsy, he is overwhelmed by the kindness of these people especially Whimsy who, as a mage with a specialty in transfiguration and transmutation, offers to help Harlan during his next full moon shift to see if he can lessen Harlan’s pain.

300 plus year-old wolf shifter Harlan has discovered his fated mate is 28 year-old mage Whimsy. But just as they find each other, more demon appeared. Eli and Arden and Julian are back from book 1 and together they work to solve the mystery. The love between Whimsy and Harlan grows during this time, but on Halloween night at all comes their greatest threat.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than book 1. It picks up more or less where book one left off, so there wasn't a lot of background information to slog through. I really enjoyed watching the two main characters fall in love over time especially considering the bond was only felt on the werewolf's side. The action scenes and dialogue were well done, and I enjoyed the final bonding seen a lot.
And what a fantastic ending. I'm very excited to move on to book 3.

A Joyfully Jay review.
4.5 stars
Forged In Fire is the second novel in Ari McKay’s Asheville Arcana series. For those who read the first, Out of the Ashes, you’ll remember Whimsy as the mage who was once in a friends with benefits triad with Julian and Arden. Now that Arden is mated to Eli and Julian has become even more paranoid and closed off, Whimsy is alone and available. When we last left Asheville, these characters had managed to vanquish a demon, but not the werewolves it had compromised. So, it’s no surprise that there has been another raid, this time on a bear shifter tribe, and some rumbling about a mysterious cauldron. New to the group is a coworker and friend of Eli’s, Harlan Edgewood.
Harlan has walked the earth over three hundred years, but not by choice. You see, unlike Eli who is a werewolf, Harlan is a lycanthrope—a human who was forcefully turned by a bite from a demon. Because of this, Harlan experiences incredible pain when shifting and cannot control when he does so. Eli and Arden immediately think of Whimsy as someone who can help ease Harlan’s discomfort while shifting—it doesn’t hurt that they also think Harlan and Whimsy would make a great couple. Little does anyone know that Harlan’s wolf has a different idea as regards Whimsy—a more possessive one. But the team is distracted by the attacks on innocent shifters and humans and knows that the problem they thought they may haves settled on their last encounter is far from being over. Now between a growing attraction to a shy and reserved lycanthrope and fighting someone who is set to unleash yet another powerful demon, Whimsy has his hands full and then some.

Forged In Fire is the second novel in Ari McKay’s Asheville Arcana series. For those who read the first, Out of the Ashes, you’ll remember Whimsy as the mage who was once in a friends with benefits triad with Julian and Arden. Now that Arden is mated to Eli and Julian has become even more paranoid and closed off, Whimsy is alone and available. When we last left Asheville, these characters had managed to vanquish a demon, but not the werewolves it had compromised. So, it’s no surprise that there has been another raid, this time on a bear shifter tribe, and some rumbling about a mysterious cauldron. New to the group is a coworker and friend of Eli’s, Harlan Edgewood.

Review written for Love Bytes Reviews.
So, when I originally picked up this book, I wasn’t aware that it was the second of the series; usually I’m pretty careful about that as I don’t like reading things out of order. That being said, while this is pretty much a direct continuation from the first book (near as I could tell, anyway) there is plenty of information given about events that happened previously so I had no problem following along and was able to enjoy the story with no issues. (PizzyGirl reviewed the first story for those that aren’t familiar with it or that need a refresher.)
I have to say that I pretty much liked the story right from the start; the characters were interesting and there’s a decent variety of paranormals introduced, which is great. I also really appreciated the fact that the author made a clear distinction between what I would think of as normal shifters and what Harlan is, a lycanthrope. I’ve seen both terms used interchangeably in the past and it was great getting to see a difference here! (It really is the little things that make me happy sometimes, lol) I liked Harlan a lot; he’d been through so much and for someone as old as he is, he’s rolled with the punches pretty well; I also really liked how he stuck to his upbringing in a lot of ways but was still willing to change and adapt as necessary. Personally, I think Whimsy was a great counterpart for Harlan; he isn’t afraid of what Harlan is capable of and is more than willing to prove he can take care of himself while helping to take care of Harlan. At least Harlan got with the program fairly quickly! :D
The book was really easy to get into and I enjoyed the story a lot; like I said, it would’ve been better if I’d read the first book before diving into this one but the author did a great job of reiterating key events from the previous story without rehashing it word for word. I found the plot interesting and the story was well written and made for an entertaining read. I was drawn in fairly quickly and it made for a really pleasant way to spend my morning; even when I had to put it down temporarily I was sucked back into the story without issue.
Anyone who enjoys a good paranormal story with a nice variety of characters might want to consider checking this one out but I would recommend reading the first book before diving into this one; I certainly plan on going back to pick it up so I know exactly what I missed and I’m sure I’ll like it every bit as much as I liked this one.

Loved it! I've volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. This the next book in the Ashenville Arcana series. It picks up right where is left from the first book. This story is Whimsy book. I was so excited to read Whimsys' story. Harlen, who was bitten by a possessed werewolf is know as a lycanthrope. Whimsy and Harlan are ridiculously cute together. I love how the author takes the supernatural and give them a little tweak. Making each character unique to this universe. You HAVE to get this series. Really need to start off with the first book then come to this one. I think Whimsy and Harlen is favorite so far. But who knows if someone else will take that place from them. Keep up the amazing work Ari!

A sweet follow-up ... I approved of the courting!! *lol* Yep, considering that Harlan is , I loved the courting sessions between Harlan and Whimsey, with bringing gifts, and having dinner. They just need Netflix and it's complete *hahaha*
Can't wait to see who Julian will end up with, alongside the conclusion of the plot

Harlan is a lycanthrope, meaning a possessed werewolf bit him and had been turned. He can’t change at will like a born werewolf, but he’s compelled to do it at each full moon in atrocious pain.
Whimsy is a mage specialized in transformation and transmutation, so when he meets Harlan, he knows he can help him for his transformation and not because the man is handsome, just because he can’t stand the pain for him.
Harlan refuses Whimsy help, refuses to put him in danger with his curse. But when the next transformation comes, something that neither Harlan and Whimsy would have predicted happened, and they will have to work on it while trying to figure out who’s trying to hurt their paranormal community…. Again!
Forged in Fire is book 2 of the Asheville Arcana series. I was happy to read this sequel because I really enjoyed book 1 Out of the Ashes .
Whimsy and Harlan are adorable.
Harlan is a Quaker, he was born in 1696 and was bitten by a possessed werewolf. For the next three centuries, Harlan had a lonely life. The werewolves mostly don’t trust him or don’t consider him like one of their own. Besides, he has to fight an excruciating pain at each full moon, and then he has to fight the twenty-eight other days the “beast” inside him in order to stay in control. I was sad for him since he was so lonely, so use to be rejected. When he meets Whimsy and started to hope for a better life, it was adorable. Harlan has old manners. I won’t tell you what I mean by “Old manners” but, let just say that I totally like this idea from the authors. A huge, buff lycanthrope with the manners of the 17th century… I love it.
Whimsy is my favorite. He’s half Cherokee, barely five-foot-ten, and he’s very young in comparison to other sup at just twenty-eight years old, a baby for Harlan. But he’s a total badass, and I totally adored him. The guy doesn’t hold back; he’s straightforward and doesn’t hide behind excuses. He’s honest, open with a big heart. I totally love him, especially when he wiped the floor with his enemies.
The story takes place a year after the events in book 1, and even if life seems to be normal in Asheville, Arden, Eli and Julian as for as Whimsy and now Harlan, they keep going to investigate. They know the danger isn’t far. The investigation’s part of the story is a secondary plan since the plot was mostly concentrated on Whimsy and Harlan’s story.
This book can be read as a standalone; even if there’s a common thread between the books (including the next one), it can be read as a standalone, you will not be lost (but it’s much better to read book 1 first).
Can’t wait to have Julian’s story.
It’s 4 OptimuMMs for the Quaker and his Mage.

I’ve wanted to read Whimsy’s story ever since I read the first book in the series. It was good seeing Arden and Eli again and Whimsy and Harlan promised to be as interesting as I hoped.
Harlan is cursed to change into werewolf at every full moon. His inability to control his change cost him his family and friends. When Whimsy offered to help he is grateful and their friendship grows from there. Despite the situation there is no angst or pressure just budding connection between two men. It’s a good take on mate bond as they don’t jump immediately into bed. They are allowed to get to know one another. It’s very sweet. The villain from the first book makes an appearance but it is not overdone and Harlan’s and Whimsy’s relationship stays at the forefront.
Harlan’s background story plays a role in the way they interact, making the story more plausible.
It’s a charming story with solid plot. I really enjoyed reading it and look forward to the next book.

ARC received for an honest review
This is the 2nd book of the Asheville Arcana series. It has Harlan a lycanthrope, turned by a possessed werewolf that is over 300 yrs old. In his previous life he was a Quaker and he hasn't exactly been living it up the last 300 yrs. He meets Whimsy the mage that we met in book 1 and is instantly attracted but doesn't want to act on it because of his curse. Whimsy on the other hand doesn't seem to have a problem with Harlan being a lycanthrope and has vowed to help Harlan in his next transition.
There is more world building to add to what we learned from book 1. Harlan and Whimsy have great chemistry. There's very little sex in the book but it's explained well as to why and it's fitting for the story. Getting to read more from previous characters was great too. The bad guy ends up being someone who's supposed to be on the good side and it's not really a surprise but it's not glaringly obvious either. I really enjoyed this continuing sage in the Asheville Arcana series and I definitely recommend it to others.

From that review: " Whimsy Hickes! Of all of the character names that have leapt across the pages I have read all these years, this is one of the ones I wish I could grab for myself. Just the sheer charm of this name speaks to me. As does the character himself. I have adored Whimsy since I met him in Out of the Ashes (Asheville Arcana #1). Then he was dealing with the loss of his triad relationship when his friend and lover, half-elf Arden Gilmarin, finds true love with his mate werewolf Eli Hammond. When their other third, the Vampire disappears in his research, it leaves Whimsy lonely and searching for something for himself in Forged in Fire (Asheville Arcana #2) by Ari McKay.

Harlen is a lycanthrope. Not werewolf, not man. Bitten by a possessed werewolf, he can only change on the full moon, a painful, unpleasant experience. 300 years old and a virgin. His life is solitary and confusing at best.
Then he meets Whimsy, a mage. His mate. Harlen is ashamed of what he is and he decides he can't claim Whimsy. When Whimsy helps him through a shift, he begins to think maybe they can be together. The evil that has been targeting supernatural creatures returns full force. They discover that the evil is all around them. Threatening their lives and that of their friends.
I liked how the author takes the supernatural beings and give them a little tweak. Making each character unique to this universe. Very slow burn to this one. I am looking forward to the next book.

Harlan is not a wolf-shifter like the others we met, but a cursed lycanthrope who had been human once. It isolates him and makes him fear his wolf.
I really liked this as a continuation of the first instalment, but part of my criticism remains. The characters and their relationships could have been more fleshed out, a lot more. Like the familiar we never get to know more about. Familiars are very impotant to their witches and they have a special bond, so why don't we get anything about it? And all the other wolf-shifters who are just as involved in this mess and are mentioned to be helping, we only ever get one short scene with two of them. Lacking.

I enjoyed this second installment of Whimsy and Harlan. It was interesting to see Harlan, who was changed as a Quaker and still held many similar morals adapt and then his desire to protect Whimsy who I adored, maybe only for his name. LOL Anyway, I enjoyed it along with the drama of who is attacking locals and they all work to solve the mystery.
You really need to read book one first as it is more of a continuation with most of the characters from the first book in this one.

I absolutely LOVED this sweet, grab-you-by-the-feels, charming, poignant, engaging, endearing, sexy, slightly dangerous, and delightfully different twist on the same old stale and staid shifter storyline. Harlan and Whimsy have GOT to be two of the kindest, sweetest, and most genuine characters that I've seen in quite some time. I was pulled in from the very first page, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

This is the first book I've read in the series and I have to say that the characters are wonderful. The story is original and the characters are sweet and fierce at the same time. Harlan is very innocent for how long he's been around and Whimsy is sweet and dedicated. I really enjoyed getting to know this world and I will go back and read the first one. A great read!!

Great book
This was so good. I loved it more than the first one. Harlan was so easy to like and to understand; I loved seeing Whimsy all fiery and going after Harlan. He gave Harlan what he needed...patience, acceptance, and time. I can't wait till the next book; I'm dying to find who will their mate next.

Smoking Hot
Loved the tragic backstory but I was super thrilled to see him get his HEA, after all. This was a great read, I just felt bad for Harlan because he was never happy or comfortable again.

Un tome sympathique, mais qui m'a moins marqué que le premier. Par contre j'apprécie tout autant l'univers et je suis assez pressé de lire l'histoire de Julian dans le prochain livre.

Loved this couple. And the overarching story is coming on nicely.
