About this book
Can your greatest fear become your greatest love?
Human Naomi Tripp is hanging on to her apprenticeship by a thread. Plagued by panic attacks in the wake of her brother’s death, a victim of a wolf mauling, the master healer has just about had enough—and so has her father. Convinced that only a husband will secure Naomi’s future and safety, he gives her two options: marry her best friend, Ellis Dacre, the son of the baron, or wait and see who pays her bride price.
In an elaborate engagement charade, Ellis and Naomi plan to bide their time until her apprenticeship is complete.
But when a reward is announced to kill the golden wolf, the race is on for Ellis and Naomi to win, and prevent a rakish suitor from getting the gold and ruining their plans.
She doesn’t count on love getting in the way.
Lycanian Carolyn Wright moved to Balcott to provide a new life for her brother after a mine collapse claimed their parents. So she traded her pickaxe for a needle a thread, seizing a once in a lifetime opportunity to open her own tailor’s shop, the Howl & Hem.
But the busy streets of Balcott are a far cry from the calm of the Raven’s Peak mountains. Her inability to control her inner wolf during a full moon was never a problem—until now.
With a hefty sum over her head and guilt on her shoulders, Carolyn must find a way to weave her life, love, and secrets together.
But how could Naomi ever love the monster she fears?
Stitches & Secrets is perfect for lovers of...

The story is exciting, and the characters are awesome. Naomi is a spunky healer. Although she has panic attacks. This started when her brother was killed by a wolf. In this story there are Lycans only they can not shift. They do have claws,and pointy ears plus wolf eyes. This does cause Naomi panic attacks when she needs to treat the Lycans. It almost causes Naomi her job. This is until she meets Carolyn a Lycan. Naomi falls for her which changes her view of Lycans! This story is ok although...

This was such a sweet sapphic romantasy. The characters created and the backstories were well built and the plot holds your attention throughout. I really enjoyed this read. There were a few lags but I still finished this in two days and enjoyed it. )

Can I interest you in a FF paranormal romance with a lesbian werewolf? How about a love story set in a regency era fantasy realm? Arranged marriages and magical healing anyone? But don’t worry, this isn’t a sapphic suppression world, and they do get their HEA. They just have to fight for their love all while dealing with anxiety, PTSD, raising a sibling, and loss of family members. This book is more steamy than spicy, but it’s such a sweet, fun, and borderline cozy love story that you won’t...

Things I liked! - I love the voice of this author, feels as if the story flies off the page - Fast pacing and short read, both bonus for me - I love the description of the wolf shifting in particular - Delightful graphics - Disney's Robin Hood vibes - Neurodivergent rep/anxiety/panic attacks - Sapphic awkwardness, so adorable Fav quotes - Besides. It's just dinner. (Chap end/next chap in other POV) This is more than just dinner. - My beautiful mate. Date. I mean date. Not mate. )
