A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor

I had this on my shelf for two years? I'm probably going to binge this entire series...let's be honest. I love the characters in this book. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of reverse harem because it gets ridiculous after a certain point, but I was all for this the whole way. It's genuinely difficult for me to pick a favorite of the guys. I loved Booker, Jonathon, and Auguste so much. Ezra was also great. I wasn't a huge fan of Amon for most of the book. I'm excited to continue reading.

I didn't know I could enjoy monster romances until now.
 
First act of the book is scorching hot, no plot other than introducing the main characters in very scandalous ways. Eventually we get some plot that puts Esther in danger so her harem ahve to band together to protect her.
I love how Kathyrn Moon portrays FMC in very empowering ways. Esther is experienced and doesn't hestiate to go after what she wants. I'd love to see more of this in romance books!

This was precisely what I needed after the last heavy read: fast and entertaining, but still with enough emotional heft to it that now, I'm invested in the characters and looking forward to the next book in the series. Do wish there'd been just a touch bit less deus ex machina in some places, but, eh: I'm not going to sweat that part too much.
