All's Fair in Love and Blood

by Sarah Hawley
Ben Rosewood is a werewolf who has perfectly curated a quiet, manageable life. Between running his thriving plant emporium and navigating his anxiety, he has no room for chaos. That is, until a late-night eBay bidding war leaves him the accidental owner of a supposedly possessed crystal. He expects a trinket; instead, he awakens Eleonore Bettencourt-Devereux, a gorgeous, centuries-old vampire succubus who is as lethal as she is captivating.
Bound together by a witch’s ancient spell, this unlikely pair is forced into an uneasy alliance. Eleonore wants vengeance against the witch who imprisoned her, and Ben just wants to survive the full moon without losing his mind. As the two transition from reluctant roommates to something much more intense, the friction between them sparks a slow-burn romance that defies their conflicting supernatural natures.
Set against the charming backdrop of Glimmer Falls, this paranormal rom-com is the perfect escape for readers craving a blend of high-stakes adventure and heartfelt connection. With its clever mix of humor, steamy encounters, and authentic anxiety representation, this story proves that even the most terrifying creatures can find a home in one another. Dive into this enchanting tale where fangs and fur collide in the most unexpected ways.

4.5 ⭐️ This was such a good book, and a great end to the series!

Eleonore had been entrapped by a witch some six centuries earlier and was used as an assassin for the witch. Ben is such a sweet gentle soul, and vows to find a way to release Eleonore.
