S7 Ep. 14: Yet another spicy romance in Mate by Ali Hazelwood
In today's episode, we read Mate by Ali Hazelwood. Mate is the second book in the series Bride series (which we reviewed back in S7 Ep. 3). The book follows Serena, a Human-Werewolf hybrid who outed herself as a hybrid to attempt to promote a strong union between humans and werewolves. Instead, she is being chased by vampires and werewolves who want her gone. As with any Ali Hazelwood book, this book also has a spicy romance. How much smut is too much smut? How does this book compare to the first book in the series, Bride? Listen to find out!
