"A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis. Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast-again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange. Again. Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was.... Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory...alone with the wolf"-- Provided by publisher.

A great jump into fantasy submitted by KimTheGray on June 13, 2024, 3:26pm Hazelwood's first foray into fantasy, specifically romantasy, is a success! It has its dips, and it's not AS strong as her contemporary romances, but it's so very good! And things can only get better from here!

Recommend for Hazelwood fans and romantasy fans of all stripes. submitted by eileenw on June 15, 2024, 5:56pm After three wildly successful contemporary romances about women in STEM, I was curious to see if Hazelwood's foray into paranormal romance would flop or fly. Turns out, Bride was even better than I could imagine. Like her other heroines, Misery (yes, her given name is Misery) is erudite and whip smart, this protagonist just happens to be a blood drinking vampire about to be married off to a werewolf in a glorified hostage exchange. While some might think that she's made a career of being being the hostage that keeps the peace between the three facets of society (human, vampire, and werewolf), she'd prefer to have just stayed disguised as a human, a white hat hacker with a nice mundane cover job. But little is as it seems, and I'm delighted to report that I did NOT see all of the twists coming. I'd recommend Bride for Hazelwood fans and romantasy fans of all stripes.

A surprising dip into fantasy submitted by Bethybeth07 on July 16, 2024, 12:31am Not what I anticipated from the author. I almost put it down in the prologue…it gave off some serious twilight vibes, not what I was expecting. I stuck with it and it was just as well written and engrossing as her other books

Great Build Up, Rushed Ending submitted by marissajose on July 16, 2024, 8:18am Loved this book, flew through it in about 2 sittings.
Only gave it 4 stars because the ending felt rushed and could’ve wrapped up better!

Such a Fun Read submitted by clarka on July 19, 2024, 5:33pm Bride was such a fun read, and Ali Hazelwood did a great job with one of her first books that veered away from her traditional contemporary romance. Highly recommend!
