Guest Book Review: Ray of Hope Book 1
By Regina Grimm
If you are looking for a sweet and sultry RH (reverse harem), shifter romance with mystical undercurrents, and a fresh modern vibe, you have to check out Ray of Hope.
A camping trip unravels into the most delicious road trip with four gorgeous shifters. In a world of vampires, witches, and werewolves, elemental magic flares whenever one of the deliciously hot wolf shifters gets cozy with our fun and feisty MC. The connection between our pack of muscle-bound alphas and our heroine is deliciously deep and explored from both a romantic and uber-lusty perspective, making their interactions meaningful and teasing.
What I loved about the book? Getting to know each of the characters, watching them battle their emotions, need, lust, and societal norms, while leaning into a reverse harem that suggests that things are just getting started. This book is fun and easy to read, funny in moments, and poignant in others. The supporting characters are vivid and exciting, the writing fresh and modern. I cannot wait for the next book.
What I didn't love so much? As the entire book is written in the first person, I struggled to keep track of who's perspective I was reading from. I had to flip back a few times to keep track of who I was reading. I also struggled to keep the four shifter characters separate. One stood out, and I was able to identify him each time, picturing him clearly. Still, after the original introduction of our four shifter hunks, there is minimal description of the other three, and they kind of blended into one super cutie. I would have liked a little more distinction or even the odd reference to which of the four I might have glimpsed in the mirror while I was reading from their perspective. This book is a little sweet for my taste, a slow burn that left you with unfulfilled lust more often than it satisfied, but then I like my books essentially on fire, so this is truly a simple preference and will certainly not keep me from reading any more books by the delicious K. Mawhood and B. Mabry.
