Maybe a 3.5
Started out great, but then it drags. Drags, drags, drags. Felt like they should've finished their relationship problems earlier. Both leads were bleh.
The characters weren't great but their conversations were funny. It's amusing to read the paranormal creatures talking about and interacting with modern tech.

Spoiler
Lachlain was captured and tortured by the big bad vampire when he scented Emma's scent. They're mates. He went after her, got disgusted because she's a vampire while he's a werewolf. But she's also half valkyrie. And she doesn't have a mean bone in her, super timid and different from a vampire's evil nature. After a long long time, he found out her half-half species situation. But he of course had fallen for her before the discovery. It took longer for Emma to come around. At the end, Emma killed the big bad, and surprise surprise he's her father.sabinesiren's review against another edition

Love the take on werewolves in this! And Valkyrie! I don’t gravitate towards either species (I didn’t even know Valkyrie were in romance books) but this was excellent.

Good enough. Disliked the two MCs at first but they evolved and grew on me. 2/5 for 🌶️ quantity.

The beginning was pretty disturbing to me, and I really didn't like how forceful Lachlain was with Emma. I thought it was getting pretty close to a rape type of scene, and that is just wrong not romantic. In the end, I was surprised that I really loved his character, and how the plot evolved and ended.

it was good. I thought I pick up book one but I picked up book two but it was still pretty easy to follow what was going on.

This book follows Emmaline Troy, half vampire and half Valkyrie. Emma's been raised by her Valkyrie aunts her whole life, but goes on a trip to Paris to find out more information about her parents.
Lachlain has been imprisoned and tortured in the catacombs of Paris, dying repeatedly, for 150 years. He only gains the strength to escape his prison when he smells his one and only mate. He is not only a werewolf, but the king of the werewolves.
His mate is, of course, Emma, and once he has hold of her, he is not letting her go, not even if it turns out his mate is a vampire and therefore his mortal enemy. He struggled with this, even with the relief of finding his one and only finally. On Emma's part, she is unaware of the whole mate thing and entirely alarmed at being kidnapped. Except she's also kinda into this super aggressive werewolf?
This book was meh. There was a lot of sexual assault/harassment going on, which I obviously was not a fan of. And then at one point it just...changed? And Emma was ok with Lachlain all of a sudden? Like I get his aggressiveness given his species but also...yuck. Consent is sexy. Always.
The plot was okayish, I suppose, but after the inevitable mating (spoiler Ig, but you knew it was going to happen without reading the book), then it just went really fast and furious, changing pace from what it had been before.
