I really enjoyed going into spooky season reading this book. I’m grateful to the author for trusting me with an ARC. At first you’re not aware the Henry is a centuries old vampire. This seems like it’s a mafia style book as Ivy is forced to finally meet her soon to be husband. It’s not until the wedding does she suspect things aren’t what they seem.

Once they’re stuck together it becomes a battle of wills between the betrothed. Both are stubborn and determined to get their way. After several intense confrontations, they start to open up and attempt to concede to each other a little bit after each confrontation. Ivy learns she hasn’t much choice when it comes to Henry and his very wicked and delicious ways to get her to succumb to his desires. Henry learns that even though Ivy is his destined mate, he still has to some growing up to do before she will fully accept him and be his willing pet. 

Will they get their HEA before outside forces tear them apart?

The spice was good! 🥵🥵🥵 The storyline kept me engaged and I would love a book about Matt & Ryan. Also, I want to read more about Damon.
