Bitter Sweet Love
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“I loved you the night you brought me pudding and stayed with me until I fell asleep. That was eleven years ago and my love for you has never faded, Jas. Not for one second.”
Holy gargoyles and demons everywhere! Gargoyles are real (and called Wardens), and have come out of the closet, so to speak. Their reason for being is to destroy demons, the only catch is that the Wardens not actually allowed to let humans know that demons are real.
Enter this introductory novella about Jas and Dez. Jasmine has recently turned 18 and has been in love with Dez since she was a child. Dez has returned to the clan to claim Jas as his mate. The only problem? Dez left 3 years ago without any explanation to Jas and broke her heart. Now she’s not so sure that she trusts him or can spend her life with him. Jas has 7 days to either accept or decline Dez’s claim and she uses those days to do things that, as a female Warden, she has never been able to do. The thing is that Jas didn’t realize that the more time she spent with Dez, the more difficult it becomes for her to resist him. But why did he leave? What was he doing during those 3 years? Can she trust that Dez won’t leave again? And most importantly, can she trust him with her heart?
I’m not usually a big fan of novellas because they’re so short and I usually don’t feel happy with the ending because I want more. However, Jen blew this one out of the park. It was just enough information about the world to pull me in and since the couple already has a history, the romance didn’t feel rushed. I love this concept of this world and this novella is such a great introduction into it and to White Hot Kiss, the first book in The Dark Elements trilogy.
“In Dez’s arms, I had found what I’d been searching for every night I took to the sky. I was free. I was home.”
