โ€œWhen I was a child, my father told me I'd been born under cursed stars.โ€ โœจ ๐Ÿ’œโœจ๐Ÿ’œ

This was HOT ๐Ÿฅต the spice was written beautifully. There were a couple plot twists I did not see coming! I want to say the storyline wasnโ€™t as good as the last one. 

Similar Tropes as Book 1, but letโ€™s add

โ€œSomething dark inside me woke up and rose to the surface, something wild and dangerous, just begging to be released.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’œ

AYLA & KADEN โ€” ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ This was so much fun. I am not usually a werewolf reader, but I guess I am now! The freaking tension is delicious. The storyline is entertaining and I was sucked in from the beginning. I love that all the packs represent a Zodiac sign with powers that coincided with it.

โ€œYou belong to me, and I intend to demonstrate that fact to you.โ€ โค๏ธ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

Reynaud has just returned home from being held captive for the past 7 years and is determined to get his life back. He is feverish and wild when he bursts into his family home demanding it be returned to him. Beatrice is the niece to the current earl and she has secretly crushed on the idea of the man whose portrait she has seen the wall daily. Now the real man is hereโ€ฆcan he live up to her fantasy?

This book didnโ€™t do it for me. ๐Ÿ˜‘ I wanted more depth and I didnโ€™t get it. I also hate how it ended. I wanted him groveling and crawling on his knees. I wanted enemies to lovers, but no. I wanted Reynaud to be more flirtatious. WHERE IS THE FIRE?! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€œShe stared at his face, at him, seeing both the handsome, clever man, and the scarred, sardonic recluse.โ€ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

Helen is a single mom, former mistress to a duke, who has decided to take her kids and run away. With the help of a friend, she is told to go to a castle in Scotland owned by a recluse. She is to tell them she is there to be a housekeeper. Sir Alastair is our lonely, scarred, reclusive hero.

I enjoyed this story so much! The Beauty and Beast vibes along with the spice ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ add in a cute pup and likable kids ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ If you like a good historical grumpy sunshine โ€” definitely recommend it!
