This was a fun read. I enjoyed it. I wanted there to be a little more politics and plot development. And the climax/resolution of the major plot conflict was anticlimactic in my opinion. The romance part of the storyline was cute. Overall, it was good!

Bride served as a good buffer before diving into my next non-fiction read, and it did the job well enough. There’s nothing particularly special about the writing or plot, but I found it to be a fine, passable read.

"You are not a problem, but a privelege."
I mean this was a good one. I liked the whole arrange marriage trope and the mystery behind Misery's missing friend and add some paranormal and I was hooked. It was a good lighthearted read that was a bit spicy and fun.

The good:
✅ Great ensemble cast, I felt everyone was more or less well fleshed out
✅ Great plot, kept me guessing the whole time
✅ The chemistry between the MCs was awesome and hot
The bad:
🙅♀️ The conflict between the MCs was very silly. Poorly executed and resolved. You might wonder, what was the point of it? Plot device, and a lazy one at that.
🙅♀️ In general the stakes felt low. And not because of the world building (which I thought was ok) but in fact because she is not great at writing tension inducing, action driving scenes. In fact, the last big confrontation with the villain felt both drawn out with too much dialogue and too short with little to no action.
I hope the second book is better at that.

Twilight walked so Bride could run. I love Misery. She is a fantastic MFC. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
