Three of Hearts by Lillian Lark

Available Now

After devouring Stalked by the Kraken, I immediately went to KU to find every book available from Lillian Lark. Not only was there more, but we get to find out a tiny bit more about Sophia, the harpy from Stalked by the Kraken who was banned from the bathhouse. Sophia is one of three sisters, all harpies are born in groups of three, each beautiful and talented in their own right. Zephyrine, a no-nonsense software developer, is the perfect person to play the bait in a bounty collection operation. While Zeph is well aware of the dangers involved, she is not prepared for the handsome shifter on the team.

Gregory is also not prepared for his reaction to Zeph. His inner wolf had already chosen Asa as his mate but when his wolf began to search for a new mate, Greg is left confused and heartbroken. Is it possible for his wolf to want two mates? What does this mean for his relationship with Asa, a demon who has not only fallen in love with Greg, but made plans for them to be together as both lovers and business partners.

If trying to navigate this new relationship wasn’t complicated enough, generations of societal expectations, illegal shenanigans, and good old family drama threaten them at every turn.

Reader friends, Lillian Lark seriously made our big, gruff wolf shifter a baker! A baker! i loved it so much.

I’m really enjoying this world that Lark has created for these characters. I’m a sucker for a fated mate and it was really interesting to see it play out within a poly relationship. Adding to the complexity of navigating a relationship between three people, it was interesting how the harpy family dynamics greatly influenced Zeph’s reactions to her new mates. In this world, it’s extremely rare for a harpy to remain with her mate after becoming pregnant and staying with a mate is seen as a sign of weakness and an affront to the harpy species. Zeph grew up in a family that was nearly ostracized from the community after her mother chose to stay with her husband and raise their children together. Naturally, this creates a huge source of conflict for Zeph in both her relationship with her family and with Greg and Asa.

We also get a bit of a second chance romance between Greg and Asa. Greg, understandably has a bit of a freak out over his wolf’s reaction to wanting another mate and doesn’t handle ending things with Asa well. There’s some really good groveling, and making up, throughout the book. Gotta love a book that can weave together multiple romance tropes.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will definitely continue on with the series. I’m curious how the stories will weave together the characters from both series and the criminal shenanigans that occurred in both. Also wondering if Sophia or Amara get the next book…
