Red-Haired Ash Reads

When Brie throws a drink at an annoying and pushy man’s head, he unfortunately ducks and she hits the stranger behind him, which is how she finds herself tied to a werewolf. The drink she threw turns out to have been a love potion and well now Felix is madly in love with her and is declaring her his fated mate, but it is real or just all the potion. 

Much like the first book, I was hooked to Brie and Felix’s story from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. Brie is an independent woman who has learned to keep everyone at a distance. She doesn’t trust easily so having Felix around and frequently professing his love is a struggle for her, especially when she starts falling for him back. I really loved how strong Brie was and seeing her slowly let go of her fear of abandonment to let Felix in. Also I loved how she defeated the god with graphic sex scenes in the end because that was hilarious. 

Felix was a character that I instantly loved when he was introduced in the first book so I loved that he was finding happiness so soon. Felix was extremely protective of Brie but we never saw him become overbearing or try to stop her from being herself, which was perfect. I especially loved that he never shamed her for her reading preferences and used them to fulfill Brie’s fantasies, which is how it should be. Felix was just a wonderful partner for Brie and I really loved him. 

Brie and Felix’s relationship was very steamy and hot. I was not expecting tentacle play with a werewolf romance but it was hot and perfect for this couple. While their relationship may have started due to a love potion these two were very open in how they felt and what they wanted. I also loved the banter between these two, much like I did Cinnamon and Fallon’s. Also I find it hilarious that we have a cheesemaker who is now married to a lactose intolerant werewolf.

Overall, I am loving this series so much. It is just a fun fantasy series that doesn’t take itself too seriously which is just what I needed to end my year with. I highly recommend this series if you just are looking for something fun, steamy, and adventurous.
