It's pretty rare that I read a book all in one day, but I devoured this one! Whew!!! *fanning self* This is a fantastic standalone MMF romance that is both a delightful distraction and surprisingly deep.

I loved Monroe's nickname of Roe, and I loved how take-charge she was of her own pleasure. She meets Kellen at the bar, and they go home for a one-night stand that turns into something more when they're locked in together for a quarantine.

Kellen's long-term boyfriend disappeared on him, but when he makes a sudden reappearance, sparks fly... in more ways than one! You see, he has history with our FMC... And it ain't pretty.

The conflict is believable, the sex scenes are super hot, and the story is well thought out!

I appreciated that the BDSM aspects were treated with appropriate attention to detail. The real-life scene is a lot more like what's depicted in this book, from what I understand. ;) There should always be informed consent and upfront negotiation, people!

Only one thing drove me nuts, and it was about the writing style:

Spoiler

the random lack of contractions!

I marked it as a spoiler in case you don't want to find out til afterward, so you aren't fixated on it the whole book like I was.

Happy reading! Just don't start this one late at night or you'll be up well past bedtime!

Book 1 definitely sets up an RH series, perhaps a bit slow-burn for some. I love, love, love the enemies-to-lovers aspect while not having bully in the academy setting! So refreshing. Also this book is an interesting mix of academy but also prison, because it's a reform school. So the kids are trapped on this Alcatraz island style "school" where they take lessons... but what are they learning? It turns out that some of their so-called teachers and counselors may not be as benevolent as they seem... I love the hybrids and the fact that their magic is uncontrollable. Good start to an RH series!

This was one of the first RH series I ever read, and I BURNED through them! I really love this unique take on the Four Horsemen legends and how Vee is the Fifth. It's also nice that they're not trying to destroy the world for once. Great worldbuilding, interesting magic.

I absolutely FLEW through this book, I could hardly put it down. Wyn begins as a quiet, innocent human summoned to the royal Elven court, and I loved seeing her gain confidence as time went on.

This book fulfilled one of my favorite fantasies: the idea of being summoned to court to become a royal plaything... and then showing the royals she's so much more than that. Wyn turns the Elven world on its head, and this book is full of twists and turns that had me devouring every page. Oakes is my favorite, but Jaden looks out for her in his own ways as well.

If you enjoyed [b:The Lost Queen|58099560|The Lost Queen (Our Fae Queen #1)|Traci Lovelot|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1621541604l/58099560._SY75_.jpg|90820645], I have no doubt you'll also fall in love with Wyn's story.

OMG! I could not stop THINKING about this book. I had to turn my phone OFF just so I could get things done. I love a good shifter story, but this one is also omegaverse, and you know what alpha wolf shifters have...

I really liked being able to see from the guys' perspectives and how they wanted to do the right thing but then from her perspective, I totally understood why she couldn't fully trust them. And then, the twist at the end, OMG! I'm dying to find out what happens next.

Great worldbuilding. I love post-apocalyptic stories, and this one scratches that itch as well, though it doesn't go into the history of the world too much. Awesome all around!

Sabrina Day is an author I hope to read more RH from soon!

I absolutely fell in love with this book and the small Alaskan town it's set in! And I never knew how much I liked pets in book until I read this one. Adorbs! There's three hot sea dragon shifters to drool over and an actual fantasy plot between sexy scenes, which I appreciate.

Plus, I love the added realism of consent, condoms, and compassion. The town, the settings, the houses, and the townspeople add a sense of comfort to the whole story that made me want to go home to Amber Bay, so I quickly devoured the whole trilogy. Which is now a box set!

This is officially one of my favorite short reverse harem series out there. Come home to Amber Bay!

I forget why I picked up this book, but I'm SO GLAD I did. I'd kind of forgotten how much I love post-apocalyptic books, and this book definitely scratched that itch... PLUS the RH aspect! Such a great combo. It brought to mind all my old favorite movies... Waterworld, Mad Max, The Postman, etc. while giving us such a tasty RH to surround her with. I tore through some later books and was a little shocked at some of the dub con, so readers be warned.

The world in this book felt so real! They even had their own holidays and cultural traditions. This is a very rigid, class-based structured society that felt dystopian in many ways. I fell head over heels for the bodyguard the moment he defends her and could barely stop reading after that! I can't wait to see what happens with future books. If you love omegaverse, knotting, and omegas who take on the evil alphas of the world, this is the series for you!

I really love the very natural way her relationships develop... with monsters! Some of whom have never even experienced bodily intimacy or romance. The author makes it so believable. I love the succubus who's afraid to give away his heart. The tough guy who becomes her solid rock of a foundation. And there's a hint that there may be more to come... It almost feels a bit like enemies-to-lovers lite to me. There's hints of it, anyway, but nothing hateful. Overall this is mostly a light read, despite the action-packed nature of it. There are some gruesome deaths and grappling with killing later on, which just serves to make it more believable.

One of the most unique worlds in RH! I love every aspect of this Baba Yaga retelling!
