The Lover

Average rating3.8
During a brutal winter, a young woman longing for love finds more than she expected in the woods, in this wickedly sensuous short story by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.
Judith knows her sister, Alice, is the pretty one—but that doesn’t stop her from wishing for love. When a handsome and gentlemanly hunter appears in their village, seeking lodging from the cold, she believes her lover has finally arrived. He does, indeed, choose to stay—but as Alice’s husband, not her own. When another stranger comes out of the woods, looking every bit a vagrant, he offers Judith something mysterious and enticingly strange. Against reason and decency, she welcomes both men into her life, in different ways. As forbidden longings ensnare each of them, an unrelenting winter storm and an evasive wolf on the prowl have everyone on edge…and ravenous. By spring thaw, will any of their hungers be satisfied?

i loved the characters, the writing style, and the small bits of magic woven into the world. this was a fun smutty little novella that had a bit of heart.
This book is so so atmospheric! Even though it was short I absolutely felt like I was in the woods! I love werewolf stories
I have a hard time with these super short novellas from Amazon. I went on a bit of a binge and am going to take a step back/break. This was certainly atmospheric but honestly kind of strange and too short for what it took on.
