Now a professor, Hazelwood’s work is as diverse as her interests, ranging from brain science articles to enthralling paranormal romances.

In “Bride,” Misery Lark, the daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman, finds herself thrust into an alliance with Lowe Moreland, the Alpha werewolf. Tasked with upholding a historic peacekeeping alliance between Vampyres and Weres, Misery faces the challenges of navigating a world filled with ruthless and unpredictable werewolves. As Lowe tracks her every move, distrust lingers in the air. However, Misery’s motivations extend beyond political alliances, and she is willing to go to great lengths to reclaim what matters most, even if it means a solitary life in Were territory.

Review 1 – Smart Bitches Trashy Books :
I enjoyed Bride so much that I might put it on the keeper shelf. It’s the first book I’ve read by Ali Hazelwood, so I can’t tell you how it compares to her other work. But I can tell you that while Bride isn’t perfect, it’s a fun, though violent, paranormal romance between a mysterious brooding werewolf leader and a deeply sarcastic vampyre.

Review 2 – Jeevesreads.com :
My love for this one snuck up on me – I’m not usually a big fan of paranormal romance, but I love all things Hazelwood, so I was willing to step outside my comfort zone. And I’m so glad that I did! This jumps right in, immersing the reader into this fantastical world as our couple meets at the altar and gets married right away.

Review 4 – The Geeky Waffle :
Ali Hazelwood’s body of work in the romance genre has consisted of contemporary stories set in and around the world of STEM academia. Yet somehow her next novel, Bride, being an arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire seems like a natural next step. What can I say, those of us of a certain generation had very specific interests growing up.

Review 5:
Paranormal has always been one of my favorite tropes. This book didn’t disappoint! I absolutely loved it. Lowe is the alpha, a were-shifter who agrees to marry a vampire for a year and to protect her in exchange for one of his pack living with the vampires for a year as “collateral”.
