Brides of the Hunt #3
Pumpkin Bride
Witches and goblins and ghoulies, things that go, "EEP!" in the night. It's Halloween!
Mallory couldn't remember the last time she'd gotten all dolled up and loaded up on candy, embracing the spooky season spirit.
There were just a few problems with her getting her candy giving groove on.
One, the apparent lack of trick or treaters this chilly, winter wonderland living night.
Two, the guy parading around in that funky suit acting like he was going to cause trouble.
Three, if someone didn't take this candy away from her soon there might not be any left to hand out!
The curvy, costumed witch isn't quite ready for the town's tales of things furry that roam around these parts to be put to the test.
One well aimed pocket full of candy, a pair of bumbling furballs, one gross misunderstanding followed by another, and Miss Mallory Allegra Bute finds herself on a one-way trip to a strange place, a land of ice and snow and beasts, colder than the small mountain town she resides in.
The Pumpkin Bride, a Lo denaii Happy Halloweenie!
In the words of a few tragically confused Lo denaii, "Tricksies and Treatsies, no chimken feetsies!"

This chick was down to clown with a Yeti prettyyyy much the first time she saw Him. Look, I'm not hating, I'm just saying that maybe that's a little ridiculous. Like maybe if you're kidnapped by literal monsters, just take a moment to regroup instead of throwing yourself at them hours after first contact. Or what the hell do I know, throw your self at the hottest one/ones and hope they're your mates and get right to it, it always seems to work out perfectly. Ridiculous, but I'll take three, k thanks.

Happy Weiner!
Mallory is a Halloween baby. Born on the festive day, with pumpkin hair, to boot. And even though she's recently jobless, she's determined to celebrate. That is, until she sees some costumed goons breaking into houses. Yeah, the saying is trick or treat, but that just supposed to be to get the candy. Not actually trick their way into houses. Abandoned houses, with tales of yeti, but still. And, by the way, wouldn't you know it but the goons breaking in? Yeah, they went all out on those yeti costumes!
Spoilers ahead.
Ms Lynn has given us another zany heroine to laugh with. Mal is as wild as Joanie and, when she gets to the village, becomes her friend. The witch costume, and the badly mangled title of Baba Yaga was hysterical. Not that I feel any sympathy for Rek, the talking rectum. This was shorter than the usual hunt books, but a welcome addition to it. And I'm so glad that Joanie is finally getting her book next. This one doesn't have a crazy George and Candy combo, or a deaf mate being dissed by the village jerk. But it's a sweet, pun intended, slice of Lo denii life. The romance moves a little faster, partly due to her interests before being brought through the portal as much as the shorter book length.
As a side note, I'm a little sad all that candy got wasted and left behind. As a fellow candy aficionado, it broke my heart lol. And Rek's coat miraculously cleaned itself somewhere between her being hauled off through the portal and appearing in the village. I was kind of hoping that Joanie would deliberately pick at it, or claim that it needed to be cut free, either way leaving him to look like he had mange.

I'm not sure what I just read.
I felt like every sentence needed a decoder to help me understand wtf was being said. The Lo Denaii don't ever learn English properly, so it's always like reading the words of a toddler being mushed into banana pudding. The ladies in this are so horribly immature I want to strangle them all. Calling grown men "Booger"? I forgot the rest of the horrible nicknames, blissfully.
There's not much to this story, but what there was beyond sex scenes was aggravating as fuck. I vaguely remember reading book 1 of this series and enjoying it. This however fell horribly flat.

She Did It Again
I’m a huge fan of this author, I have all but two of her series.
I loved the first books in this series but I didn’t buy the second because of all the negative reviews, very strange for her but I had to buy this one. I enjoyed it very much, characters from the second book play a big role in this book but you’ll get the idea and don’t necessarily need to read it.
I’m still hooked on this series and can’t wait for the next book, Rek needs his ass kicked!!!!! ;)

Pumpkin Bride rocks!
Oh, I do love the Brides of the Hunt series! Pumpkin Bride is no exception, with its quirky, delightful humor, the odd English pronunciations of the Lo Denaii, the instant attraction (for certain males) to a human woman (Mallory, in this case), deep devotion to family...honestly, who could ask for better? It is a very happy departure from our not-always-simple daily existence. I recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

All around great!
This book is so good. I’ve enjoy this entire series and can’t wait for Joanie’s story. The drama and sexy times are wonderful, but her sense of humor is my favorite part.

Lots of fun
This is a totally fun, feel good yeti romance. Because, you know, there aren't enough yeti Iromances out there.
The story has some very sweet heroes, a rather weird but kindish heroine and a sweet plot.

As always
Love this world! It can be confusing at times with all the names and characters but the love in this Beasty family is real!

2 1/2 stars. The beginning of book was hard for me to get into. Almost quit reading it. Liked the heroine even though she was a little ditzy.

Man gotta love those Snow Beasts. A misunderstanding some candy and a Witch costume one thing leads to another. Got to see some other characters and some funny moments. And end I am excited.

Sweet and funny
Sometimes you need a break from all the angsty dark books. This series is so fun and sexiful. Love it.

October 15, 2022Dnf at 76%, it was a decent read. It’s just I put it down once and no interest to continue. The main character’s inner voice was not as annoying as the one in the second book.

Pumpkin Bride did not disappoint! A perfect addition to the Brides of the Hunt series. The Lo Denaii are some of my favorites of Ms. Lynn’s characters. Their possessiveness, innocence and insta-love of their brides is so sweet. Mallory’s story has laugh out loud moments and a happily ever after ending. Read it! It won’t let you down.

My new favorite book to read for Halloween! The Lo Denaii steal her because she is dressed up as a Halloween Candy Witch. It's so funny!
