TROY

To inherit the family fortune, I must marry a woman. But first I have one chance at a night of passion with a man.

I just wish I could share it with someone who would treat me more like a lover than a customer.

After all, it’s my first time. My only time.

PARK

Alesto Markin sics his werewolf lackey on anyone who can’t pay him back. One bite, and my life as I know it will be over. My only hope of paying off my staggering debt is my godfather’s brothel.

I just never expected the man who hired me to be young. Or sweet.

I certainly didn’t expect to fall in love with him.

Of Paper and Wood is a sweet love story of two men who share many firsts together. In a world of wands and werewolves, where their fate is either rags or riches, being together could cost them everything.

While Amy Bellows normally writes books set in the omegaverse. Of Paper and Wood is not. You can still expect magic, humor, and a big HEA.

My review: 

I was really excited about this book because it's something different from the author. It was a really cute read, so I'm happy about it.

First, the cover. I think I'm the only one who don't like it, but come on, it says nothing - the colors are gorgeous, but the Elder Wand (from Harry Potter) is no fit for this. Yes, they're using wands, but there are many wands on the internet, why this typical one?! 

The story was good, but I wanted more about this magic world - so the world building is a bit deficient. This isn't a fantasy book with romance. No. It's a romance book with a touch of fantasy.

The two main character - Troy and Park - they were lovely. I liked reading about them and about their first times. It's rare to find two virgin in one book, and it was really good. The sexy scenes were really good and hot, and the romance scenes with all the kissing was super sweet. 

The side characters were interesting too, Alaistair, Sam, Danielle - I liked all of them.

It was a good story.
