(Great for quick skimming) <\/h3\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first chapter! Even with the book having its darker themes, there is plenty of humor mixed in. Annika’s inner dialog had me cracking up at times.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe tension?? Thick. The chemistry?? \ud83d\udd25 And the whole \u2018dangerous man with a soft spot\u2019 thing\u2026 yeah, I ate that up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/em>
\u201cThe way she put the fairytale type spin, with the MCs, with the Norse gods all in one book was just absolutely mind-blowing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Setting & Fresh Vibe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe industrial German setting combined with the MC vibe is genuinely fresh \u2014 you don’t see a lot of dark romance set in this world<\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toddler Chaos & Soft Spot <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey promised toddler chaos and delivered in spades! The MMC is completely floored by a little ginger toddler<\/em><\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRonny is a criminal who runs protection rackets and brothels but melts completely around a toddler in a pink princess sweatshirt<\/em><\/em><\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cliffhanger & Addictive Pace <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA tension-filled novella with a heart-stopping cliffhanger. Needless to say, I\u2019m going to need to know what happens next!<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe cliffhanger is brutal and effective, and I’ll absolutely be reading Part 2<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Quotes & Highlights <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Snow White framing is clever and intentional without being heavy-handed.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cThis short book is the first part in a series, where the spice and tension builds.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cDanger and spice and everything nice? Yea\u2026 that sounds about right.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 all<\/strong> from<\/strong> Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
