Bride by Ali Hazelwood
While I really enjoyed Bride and would definitely recommend it to others, it wasn’t my favorite.
What I loved - I loved the chemistry between Lowe and Misery, I could feel the love they had for each other. I loved the character development and was invested to find out what happened to Serena and who was targeting Ana.
What I didn’t love - I felt like the author focused too much on the anatomy of the different species at times. And honestly once I got to the “knot” scene, all I could think of was my male dogs privates and then I kept thinking why am I thinking of my dogs privates. I feel like if that whole detail part was left out then I would’ve liked the book a lot more. It was more of a distraction in my opinion.
Also, not a love or a hate but just frustrating, the roller coaster of you can’t know what it’s like to love me drove me crazy, every time I thought I was going to get the happily every after, Lowe just pulled away. But again, that didn’t make me like the book less. It just made me want to throw it across the room. ☺
A quote that will be sticking with me for awhile -
“I would take anything she chose to give me - the tiniest fraction or her entire world. I would take her for a single night knowing that I’ll lose her by morning, and I would hold on to her and never let go. I would take her healthy , or sick, or tired, or angry, or strong, and it would be my fucking privilege. I would take her problems, her gifts, her moods, her passions, her jokes, her body - I would take every last thing, if she chose to give it to me.”
