Bride is not a literary masterpiece, but it’s undeniably enjoyable. It’s like indulging in an Oreo cookie—maybe not haute cuisine, but undeniably delicious, addictive, and nostalgic. While it may not be a delicate macaroon from a Parisian patisserie, sometimes a comforting Oreo is just what you crave.
Bride had me laughing throughout, although I couldn’t always tell if it was intentionally humorous or not. If you’re a fan of Twilight or its fandom, you’ll appreciate the familiar tropes. It’s a fun ride that lets you escape from reality for a while.
The book’s strength lies in its low stakes and fast-paced plot. It doesn’t demand too much from the reader, making it perfect for a light read. However, I did find some of the steamier scenes a bit excessive, especially with the animal dominance themes and scenting rituals. If that’s not your cup of tea, you might prefer a more traditional romantic comedy.
I commend the author for keeping female friendship at the core of the story. It’s refreshing in a romance. Overall, Bride is a delightful escape - give yourself permission to enjoy a bit of guilty pleasure reading
