"Never meet your heroes - sometimes they turn out to be The Worst."

I wish I could read this for the first time again!! This had every romcom trope in the book and it was executed perfectly. Hilarious, heartwarming, he falls first with a mix of fantasy. The spice was just beautiful. I didn't cringe. (Even with the word baby being used) And the dynamic between the MMC and FMC was endearing.

A huge fan meets her celebrity crush as a teen. He absolutely breaks her heart. Years later he needs her help. He's a jerk. She's moody. It shouldn't work. But it does.

I enjoyed the backstory between the two characters. How similar yet different they both were and how they both bought out better versions of themselves.

It was a fun romcom read. It had me smiling from ear to ear and I just thoroughly enjoyed it. It's another one where you snuggle up for an evening and immerse yourself in chick lit with your favourite snacks.

Did I mention the spice?

Unexpectedly brilliant!

4.75⭐️ TEHEHHEHEE, I LOVED THIS!

This is by far my favorite book from Rosie Danan! The premise is so unique and absolutely brillaint.

Mr. Devin Ashwood, I am in love with you. He had me kicking my feet and giggling for about 90% of the book. I also adored Alex, whose fandom obsession felt so relatable to me as someone who’s often a bit too obsessed (in a wonderfully unhinged way) with fictional characters.

Aside from the “werewolf” thing (lol), both Alex and Devin felt incredibly real, and I was totally invested in their story. Their chemistry was FAB, and the way they supported each other through their personal struggles made their relationship feel so authentic. I loved how their quirks made them even more relatable and endearing.

My only small issue was that I pictured Devin as being a little younger than his 40-something years—he didn’t quite give off that vibe, especially with how mischievous he was at times. But honestly, i couldn’t care less, i still adore him and this book. It’s a hilarious, swoon-worthy read with witty banter, I was laughing out loud more times than i can count. *chefs kiss*

I had such a fun time reading Fan Service, I was hiding my laughs at one point on a plane. It's absolutely jam packed with humour and fandom nods. Fans of Supernatural & Teen Wolf will have a great time reading this one.

We follow Devin who is trying to figure out what's happening to him after a recent breakdown on the full moon... spoiler it's Lycanthropy! Alex, a personally wronged by Devin, moderator on a Wiki for his old show 'The Arcane Files' is contacted and asked to help rule out him becoming a Werewolf. Instead, the two go through multiple tests which confirm instead confirm this. After coming to terms with this revelation, Alex recreates trials from his show to help Devin retain control and let him return to Hollywood.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it's not my usual genre but I am a sucker for Werewolf stories. If you want a relaxed but humorous read full of fandom nods and the supernatural, pick this one up!

Thanks to Netgalley & Little Brown Book group for sending me this arc.

I loved Rosie Danan’s last paranormal romance, Do Your Worst. It was filled with sweet moments, steam and delicious tension. So obviously I smashed that request button as soon as I saw that Fan Service was another paranormal romance, about a small-town nerd and the main actor from her favourite, off-air werewolf detective show, who has somehow become a werewolf himself.

While the premise of this book sounded super fun, and like a great enemy to lovers, a tension-filled ride, it was not. I made it 49% into this story before I couldn’t take it anymore. The MMC Devin, is incredibly unlikeable. Not only is he horrible, insensitive and mean to Alex the MFC but he’s also self-centred and immature, acting more in the range of a twenty-year-old than a previously married 42-year-old man. I didn’t want to spend any more time in his mind or reading about him, which was disappointing as Fan Service was one of my most anticipated books of the year.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book.

I went into this with my eyes fully closed knowing nothing other than he was a washed up teen werewolf and she was an ex fangirl so when Devin turned into an actual werewolf I was pretty surprised (in the best way).

This book was a great mix between meet cute romcom and smutty tension. Devin and Alex were so cute together and you couldn't help but ship them from the beginning. I loved the way he was unapologetically protective of her right from the beginning like yep she's the one which lets be fair we all love- especially if it's our teen crush.

This was such a fun (and slightly feral) paranormal rom-com, which threw me right back to SuperWhoLock Tumblr circa 2014 🫣😂 With the perfect blend of teenage nostalgia and the relatable struggles of growing up/aging, this warm hearted story hit perfectly! I loved both the goth black-cat FMC and the golden retriever (literally) himbo MMC, and enjoyed watching them both learn how to love themselves (and each other 🫣😍) throughout the book.

I can’t say much more without spoilers but I loved everything about this book and I would highly recommend to anyone (but especially to any die hard Teen Wolf or Supernatural fans from back in the day lol) 🐺🌙

They say never meet your heroes and Alex Lawson finds out the hard way how true this is. Years after their disastrous meeting, when the star of her favourite TV show comes to her for help, Alex is suddenly forced to rethink her original assessment of Devin Ashwood and use her superfan knowledge to help his supernatural problem.

Rosie Danan has brought together the perfect blend of romance and paranormal, with a sprinkling of slow burn, age gap and hate to love for good measure.

You guys, that was actually perfect? This was one of my most anticipated releases for 2025 and it did not let me down one single bit.

I will say if you were like me and thinking March seems like an odd release date (as opposed to releasing it around spooky season), trust me as long as you’re in the mood for a werewolf romance, it’ll be perfect to read any time of the year (it’s set around January-February if that helps). I was so so so excited to get the ARC, but then I kept seeing other people who had also gotten this book say they didn’t like the MMC because he’s rude and says unnecessary comments, so it made me a bit hesitant to pick this up, but let me tell you this was such a delight. Yes, the MMC is a little weirdo, but it suits his character perfectly and we get shown how and why he does act the way he does - you cannot be a child star and go through that trauma and not be a little weird and have little to no filter. The FMC balances out his weirdness though and I genuinely think they are so good together.

The chemistry, the banter, the tension, the angst!!! Honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better from this. I read in this in one sitting, you couldn’t pry it out of my cold, dead hands. I was giggling and blushing the entire time. There are a lot of pop culture references which I usually don’t like in books, but I was prepared going in because of the content of the book and it wouldn’t have worked without it!

And again, reading this book could not have come at a more perfect time for me since I am in the middle of rewatching Teen Wolf, and this is like if Tyler Posey suddenly became a real life werewolf. So many connections to Teen Wolf and the lore behind shipping characters, discussions on show runners queerbaiting, making online friends through fandoms… genuinely a love letter to fangirls and I’m utterly obsessed! I’ve never read a Rosie Danan book before this, but this feels like the love child of Ali Hazelwood and Lana Ferguson. I can’t believe I have to wait to get the physical copy of this book, it’s genuinely become a new favourite book for me.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This is my first werewolf romance reading and I am so impressed with this. Normally I don't go for any kind of supernatural based books which technically this one is not completely like that anyways. I have read all of Rosies' books and loved them all and this one was not any different.

The word that comes to mind for this book is self-indulgent. I went into it suspending all rational belief and allowed myself to be swept away by the drama of your long-time actor crush turning up in your rural hometown because he thinks he's turning into a werewolf.
This was definitely not so much of a cutesy romcom since both our protagonists carried pretty heavy burdens and/or grudges for a major part of the storyline, but I did find them both loveable in a "difficult exterior but soft-hearted" kind of way, although I will admit that the hollywood celebrity sleaziness kind of vibe didn't really do it for me with ou MMC.
This is my second Rosie Danan book and have enjoyed both, so will def be picking up more in future

4.4⭐️
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very quick, easy read.

The characters aren’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and both were quite childish, but it ended up making sense in the context of what had happened in their lives up until the events of the book.

I also thought the ways that text messages and wiki pages were incorporated into the book was really well done, and added another level of information in an interesting way.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I’ll definitely continue picking up Rosie’s books 😊

This was just really weird 😂 I really wanted to like it, I’ve loved this author’s romance books in the past but I just don’t think her paranormal/fantasy books are for me. The story felt quite slow and dragged out in parts, and I found it really hard to connect to the characters (I think this would’ve been a lot better in first person rather than third?). Some of the scenes between the two characters were sweet but then you would be reminded of the fact that he’s a werewolf and it was just a bit too silly for me…

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Another brilliant and quirky book from this author! I have enjoyed everything I’ve read by her and this book is no different! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book. A gorgeous 4 star read book from me. What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I couldn't put this book down – absolutely loved it.

Devin's career is flailing after spending his best years playing a werewolf on a long running TV show, The Arcane Files. But when he wakes up one morning after becoming a werewolf himself, his focus shifts to getting help from Alex, an expert on all things TAF and his only hope when it comes to understanding what is happening to him.

This was a pretty light and easy supernatural romance, although the characters had their flaws and we're not my favourite. The plot was good though and I did adore some of the side characters!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Fan Service by Rosie Danan is a hilarious, paranormal romcom with plenty of bite. I adored how outrageously camp and spicy it was. Alex is a tattooed self-confessed nerd and I could completely relate to her awkwardness. Devlin was a complete ass, but ultimately loveable and charming despite his tendency to be a bit of a privileged Hollywood douche at times.

I absolutely loved the whole concept. Alex is a small-town outcast who is obsessed with a paranormal TV show and sets up an online fan forum. When she finally meets its star, Devlin Ashwood, at a convention, he is needlessly cruel and teenage Alex is absolutely shattered. Fast forward seventeen years (I had to admit the age-gap made me a little uncomfortable at times) Devlin's career has nosedived and he desperately needs her help. He thinks he's becoming a werewolf.

I found Devlin to be very immature and selfish at times which made it a little difficult to root for their budding romance. I think I actually preferred him more as a wolf?! Despite this, Fan Service was entertaining as hell, super camp and genuinely hilarious. Millennials that grew up watching Buffy and Supernatural will adore this light-hearted entertaining romp.

I was really curious from the blurb as it looked like a crazy and funny story. I would say that I loved the humour, the book definitely delivered on both the crazy and the funny.

However it took me about 50% of the book before I got really interested by the story and the characters, for some reason I just didn’t connect well with either at the beginning. I also felt the bit in the blurb where it says Devin needs to convince Alex to help him because she hates him so much was rather inaccurate - it barely took any time, she was dubitative at first but didn’t really push back against it long. It always throws me off when the blurb doesn’t properly reflect the content of the book.

After the halfway point is when I started to really enjoy the book. I liked the characters and their dynamic better and enjoyed the self development of both, how their relationship evolves as they fall for each other and make each other better. I got a lot more invested in Devin’s fate and how this all things was going to end up for him. All-in, I ended up on a good note and thought the second half of the book was much stronger, but that took me pushing through the first half to get there.

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion *

What a fun and entertaining read! perfect mix of humor, heart, and spice. The chemistry between the characters is spot-on, and the banter keeps things light and engaging.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves a mix of laughs, love, and a bit of heat.

When I first started reading, I thought it was a teen book.

Until I got to the spice!

It's something I would have really enjoyed back in my Buffy/Supernatural/TeenWolf era.

I think anyone who enjoyed the late '00s early '10s would more than likely have a soft spot for this book.

I found it a little bit hard to get into, but I may give it another try once released.

Fan Service follows actor, Devin Ashwood and Arcane superfan, Alex Lawson. Alex is an outcast who set up the fan forum for Arcane. She was a huge fan of Devin as a teenager but after meeting him at a fan convention she developed a hatred of him. Devin’s career has tanked since Arcane went off the air but he wakes up naked in the woods and needs Alex’s help. He thinks he is turning into a werewolf due to his claws, fangs and howling and only Alex can help him due to her expert knowledge on Arcane.

I’m giving this book 3 stars because it was enjoyable but it wasn’t a new favourite for me. I would recommend this for fans of this author’s other work as well as fans of paranormal romance such as My Roommate is a vampire and The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson. This was written well and the werewolf elements were interesting but I didn’t fully connect with the characters meaning I felt a bit distant towards this romance. Plus I didn’t love the way Devin thought about Alex in his inner monologue, it was a bit icky to me. Overall though, this was a good read that I’d recommend.
