Bride was my first Ali Hazelwood novel. Upon chatting with friends, I got quite the education about Reylo fanfic and its many iterations. At first I didn't think it fit. But the longer we chatted and I recalled details of the story, they were absolutely correct.
I don't say this as a disparagement. I really quite liked the story and the characters.
As per usual, my complaints fall within the realm of editing. There was a spelling error in my copy. A couple of scenes (not even spicy ones) that didn't make anatomical sense. Overall, it felt clunky. But in the end, the plot and the cast were able to fill in the gaps. I might not rush out to get any more of her books right away, but I'm excited to see what Mate brings us in the fall.
