Summary (from Goodreads):
Dez wasn't just
Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with
her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining balance between good and evil.
He was her everything...right until the moment he disappeared without a trace.
It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one
day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.
And now he's back,
three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left
off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her
conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger
and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over
again...
Review:
I
had already read book one in this series, White
Hot Kiss, before I had a chance to read Bitter
Sweet Love.
What?
Don’t judge me. I had it in my hands and devoured it. In a day. But that’s a
review for another time.
Bitter Sweet Love is the tantalizing glimpse into
the new, incredible world that Jennifer L. Armentrout is creating this time
around. With gargoyles. Yes. You read that correctly.
I
love paranormal romances, but I get tired of the same werewolves and vampires
and angels … Give me something original! I need it! And Armentrout does just
that, with her signature steam and snark lighting up every page.
I
love love stories where the couple has history, especially one as friends. This
crucial connection was so fundamental to Dez and Jas’ romance and made it all
the more, well, bittersweet. I loved
watching them find their way back to each other and learning to accept one
another for who they were and not just what they had.
Armentrout
wastes no time sucking you into this brilliantly imagined world of flying guardians
of the night and demons and mystery and seriously hot romance. This is the
start to what will be an amazing series.

I loved this book and it was a great prequel to what I'm sure will be an astounding series. I've had WHK for awhile now but haven't had the chance to dive in. I know! For shame! Will try to get to it soon, lol. Great review!

I can't believe you ate your dessert before your dinner, Hannah. Bad girl. Heh. If I'd had White Hot Kiss in my hands pre-BSL, I would have done the same thing!
ReplyDeleteAhaha!!! Ihave both books sitting on my shelf (Kindle) looking at me and wanting me to read it. I think right now they are glaring as they cannot believe it that I still haven't read it..
ReplyDeleteHaha no, they are definitely next one my list and I'm so excited for it!
What do you think - Book and then PreQuel or
Prequel and then book.
Usually, I first read the book and then the Prequel.. I know I'm wired like this :)
Honestly? I don't think it matters. You do see Dez and Jas again in WHK, and I think if I had read the prequel before, that part would've made me a little more tingly and happy, but it won't mess you up if you do it the other way.
