I read the first book in this series last year and I really loved the world building that Herrera did and this book is no exception.  I think a lot of the little details were great and I loved how easily the reader is able to settle into this world.  I thought Valente and Kessina were great together and really felt like they were kindred spirits.  This read is 85% sexy-times but there still managed to fit in a good amount of character exploration which I appreciated.  Another low-angst read that was just great.

This novella for me was just *meh* 🤷🏻‍♀️. Good scenes, I just wasn't into the characters so it didn't have its full effect. Actually because of that it sometimes felt "awkward".

This was a near perfect novella. It’s a fated mates Christmas novella that was super sexy. Loved it!
