It was love at first sight with this book. I mean, look at that gorgeous cover! And I’m happy to say that the story within did not disappoint. 

Let me start by saying this is the first book I read by Eva Chase, and I fell in love with her style. While I was reading, we meet some characters that smelled of crossover, and my suspicions were confirmed once I reached the end of the ebook. Indeed, this book is set in an already established world from the Flirting With Monsters series, but would I have noticed if I hadn’t guessed there was more to that cameo-ish encounter? No, and I appreciate it. I had no trouble understanding the story and the world, so you can definitely jump into this book without having read the other series. If anything, I’m now curious to read that one, too, because the characters looked really intriguing! (Also, I see on Goodreads that it’s very beloved by fans.)

It’s not every day you read a character with a heart transplant in a fantasy setting, which made Quinn stand out from other heroines in the genre. I also liked that she wasn’t entirely trusting of the three dashing monsters that just happen to save her. She questions their intentions a lot despite she quickly develops an interest in them. As for the three guys, they’re very interesting, although I feel like there’s still more we need to learn about them. My favorite is Torrent. I love him so much, in fact, that I’m having a harder time shipping Quinn with Crag and Lance. Torrent is just my type, you know? The tormented and broody leader with a secret tenderness. I’m very curious to see how the story continues, especially since I want to see some Torrent action. *wink*

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.

So, monster romance isn't my all time favorite trope, though I do enjoy them when they are well done. And this one was definitely well done. I kinda hate that I have to wait a month for book 2! There were a couple spicy scenes and some great tension leading to them. But this was mainly plot. And an intriguing one at that. I found myself flying through the pages trying to learn more about Quinn and her men! If you like monster romance you'll love this. And even if it's not your favorite thing in the world, I still think you'll enjoy it!!
