Holy hell, I loved this book so much! I usually don't like 2nd chance romances because they tend to dwell on the bitterness over the break up, but this story was just heartwarming and adorable. Pining to the max between Jules and Ruben, but also a ton of reflection on their first attempt at a relationship and how they've grown over the last 12 years. A+ communication too. The traveling around to have guilds vote on bringing werewolves into the fold did provide good plot movement and just enough background tension to urge Jules and Ruben to speak frankly to one another.

Ooo this one gave me just a touch of Discovery of Witches vibes, probably because it's set in England/London for a good time. After much anticipation, we finally get the backstory and reunion of the eldest Savoie sister, Jules, and her vampire paramour, Ruben. Lots of pining and angst in the beginning, gives way to mushy romance later, with some trials and tribulations in between.

I really liked this one, I will say that some of the dirty talk was a bit much and made me cringe a little. I think it was a really well done second chance romance, both Jules and Ruben grew alot since they first tried dating and the reason they first broke up definitely resolved itself.

Finally we get to hear the Juliana and Ruben back story and it does NOT disappoint!  So glad they get their second- chance romance, with a side of magic- packed action, of course. 😉
