this was a perfect homage to fandom culture. i was obsessed from the very first page to the very last, i wish it lasted longer! the romance was full of tension and lingering and the plot was so fun - the trials and characters growth were delightful to follow. you should definitely pick this up the second it comes out, you’re not going to want to miss out on this masterpiece. a huge thank you to berkley as well as netgalley for the ARC, all opinions are my own!

Y’all that was actually perfect? This was one of my most anticipated releases for 2025, but I so desperately wanted this ARC because it seems like the ultimate spooky season read 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, 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 (both under Berkley!). I can’t believe I have to wait over 5 months 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 Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I enjoyed the writing and the development of the characters. The setting felt real and well thought out.

This is the perfect book for the spooky season! The characters were very flushed out and so relatable. I love when the opposites attract trope is used and these two main characters definitely delivered on all fronts. Their chemistry was so palpable that I was left swooning at every page. I cannot recommend this read enough for anyone who is in the mood for a fall romance read!

I am a huge fan of werewolf paranormal romances and tv shows like Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries so it’s no surprise that I loved this book. I literally can’t say enough good things about it! I loved Fan Service so much! It was a beautiful homage to the kind of fanfics I used to read when I was younger. It had some of my favorite tropes and some amazing, well written smut.

I loved watching the characters explore werewolf lore together and how to help Devin while also grappling with their feelings for each other and their past traumas. Watching them grow was so satisfying.

Overall I loved this book so much and will be recommending it to everyone I know!!!

This book captures everything I love about a paranormal tv show on CW and makes it a romance book. I loved watching Alex and Devin work together to figure out what was going on with him and the fact that they did a lot of that at the vet clinic she worked at was comedy gold!

Devin and Alex are from all appearance very different. He is very confident with people he doesn't know but has insecurities about deeper relationships. She sort of has issues with both but has a lot of trouble with connecting with new people. I thought it was really interesting how two very different life experiences lead to similar issues and liked seeing them resolved together.

This is definitely a paranormal romance that will be very accessible to contemporary romance readers. A lot of the paranormal world building happens through the framework of a TV show and Devin is the only paranormal character. I do think paranormal romance readers will also enjoy this one assuming they enjoy a romcom.

what a perfect scrumptious halloween brunch! i was hooked from page one.

thankyou netgalley for the arc. all opinions are of my own!

I had super high hopes for this book and it was super fun and perfect for before Halloween. Enemies to lovers? Count me in! I wish the plot was focused on a bit more but the romance was cute and fun!

This was my first werewolf romance, and I figured since I like Danan's books it would be worth a try. Unfortunately, it didn't hit for me. I thought the producer was going to be more relevant and I ended up with a lot of questions about the world.

I loved the characters, the fandom, the amazing growth arcs, the absolutely to-the-max swoonfest that was the romance. Absolutely incredible.

From the pacing to the obstacles to the emotional barriers, this book has so much balance. I couldn’t stop reading (and didn’t want to).

Give me more, Rosie! You’re a master of the genre. I need whatever else is in your brain lol.

★4.56 Stars ★ - Many thanks to Berkley Publishing for the Advanced Reader Copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This. Was. Everything.

The moment I read the description, I knew I had to have this book. I absolutely love werewolves and shifter romances in general. Something happened in my childhood (god knows what) that inexorably linked shifters with my sex drive so now it's a kink of mine. Cool!

Unfortunately, a lot of the werewolf romances out there are ABO (alpha, beta, omega for the uninitiated) and tend to be set in a world of pre-existing werewolf lore. While those romances are okay to read, I really like werewolves in the real world where the exploration of the lore is filled with more mystery and humor vs. the dark fantasy angst that ABO books tend to have. I also like more cozy camp and warm intimacy which Rosie Danan did perfectly in Fan Service.

She also did such an amazing job catering to the massive group of slightly bizarre writers and readers who create fandoms and fanfic. This book was such a clear love letter to all of us and the worlds we create and it warmed my heart to read.

Finally, holy heckin hell, Rosie Danan dialed the kinky up to 11. Degradation, submission, BDSM, a dash of masochism... my lustful heart was SCREAMING.

Much like a novelty ice cream, this book wasn't perfect. It could have used a few touch ups here and there, but that couldn't matter less to me. The joy it filled me with was worth every word.

For all the girlies who grew up in the early/ mid 2000s and fell in love with all the CW heartthrobs of the time, this book was made for you.

The vibes:
- black cat/ golden retriever vibes
- She’s the town outcast
- Major himbo vibes
- Light paranormal/ ware vibes

This was a fun, spicy little story. One of the things I appreciated the most was how both characters deal with a lot of unresolved emotional baggage and their individual hardships make so much sense for their respective characters. The fmc’s family was an outcast and as a result her mother left her and she’s built an impenetrable wall around herself and the MMC is a child actor whose parents only saw him as a paycheck. All their reservations and moments of conflict make so much sense considering all that ^

I don’t know where it ranks on my list of Rosie dana’s books but I had a good time.

the entire premise of this book sounded really fun even though werewolf books aren’t necessarily my favorite thing to dive into (i am trying to change that though lol), i thought this was going to be really chaotic, silly and as a fan fiction, die hard for my fandom i love girlie i was super excited to get this one.

unfortunately i really struggled with this book and i think the biggest issue for me was the MMCs age and maturity level, i in no world could believe devin is a 42 year old man, if he was 25/26 MAYBE he would have been a little bit more likeable? i found him to kind of just be a major jerk. he was awful to Alex, he made all kinds of comments that are just unreal to me being a grown man who has once been married…

surprisingly the only thing i really had fun with was the werewolf aspect, the. tests were fun, i liked when devin’s wolf took control because he was actually likeable and fun in these moments.

alex is super bad ass and a wonderful person bc if i were her there would be no way in hell i could ever forgive devin and personally think that his reasoning for what happened was weak. i couldn’t imagine on my worst day saying something like that about anyone no matter the situation, alex really should have made him grovel for that one and for whatever reason didnt.

i really loved the roommate by rosie danan and absolutely plan to give “do your worst” a shot but unfortunately this one just didnt work for me. i may possibly try it again in audio form and see if narrators bringing the MCs to life works out better!

Once I suspended by absolute disbelief, this book was so much fun to read!

"Fan Service" does exactly what it's title suggest and it's such a fun, corny, steamy romance from Rosie Danan. Though, I might be biased as a girl from Florida reading a story set in Florida, aha.

The dynamic between Alex and Devin is a delightful mix of tension and comedy, making it impossible to put the book down. And, this delightful romp reminds us that sometimes the truth really is stranger than fan fiction, and just as entertaining. A must-read for anyone who loves a blend of romance, humor, and supernatural antics!

It’s quirky, sexy, fun, romantic and filled with delicious slow-burn tension that makes you root for the characters to figure things out before someone gets bitten, literally or metaphorically.

the paranormal renaissance i didn’t know i needed???? this was like if lana ferguson and ali hazelwood had a baby and created THIS book. it was also reminiscent of business or pleasure by rachel lynn solomon except instead of bedroom lessons it’s…werewolf lessons? 🙂‍↕️

honestly i was torn for most of this. it wasn’t camp enough for me to take it seriously and the romance was VERY odd. he was so mean to her sometimes and i never truly bought that they were anything more than physical

at the same time, it didn’t stop me from eating it up. i couldn’t put it down so i feel like i’m contradicting myself 😭 overall i’d recommend and i feel like others will have a better time than i

I have to confess that I was initially less than thrilled when Rosie Danan, one of my current favorite contemporary romance authors, made the switch to writing paranormal romance with her last book, to the extent that I didn't pick it up--which I immediately remedied after reading this one--although to be fair that was also because I'm not particularly into ghost stories or Scottish romance and the copy for that one made it sound like both those things, but anyway, I'm here now to tell you *how wrong I was*! I should have trusted the author more because FAN SERVICE is delightful. The concept here was so fun that I decided to give it a try on the strength of that plus her past books, and it was everything I hoped it would be. (As another reviewer says below, imagine Tyler Posey actually turning into a werewolf in his early 40s and then having to figure out what to do, to which I would add imagine Tyler Posey is also in the body of Jensen Ackles and the show in question is more like Teen Wolf meets Supernatural meets the X-Files, except in this reality the werewolf lore turning out to be real actually saves Tyler Posey from appearing in the reunion movie, an ending anyone who's actually seen Teen Wolf: The Movie might appreciate for the true HEA it is... but I digress.)

I also loved that the book didn't get hung up on any kind of worldbuilding any more than it needed to, which was absolutely the right decision for a story like this because the self-referential meta aspect of the lore being based on a supposedly made-up fictional tv show that then turns out to be based on a supposedly true but never-explained supernatural reality of exactly the kind such a show would make up is so deliberately clever. Anyway, the concept was great, the characters were great, the way the culture and experience of fandom were integrated was great, and I loved it! I'm now fully a convert to Rosie Danan writing paranormal romance and can't wait for the next one!

A cute love letter to fans, fandom, and fan culture. Was a little cringe at times because it was very obviously a spoof on Supernatural. 3.5/5 ⭐️

thank you netgalley and berkley for the arc!!! 🐺💜

4 howling stars!!! i love rosie danan and this was soooo good. so much of a slower burn than id anticipated but oof the wait was worth it!!

the level in which i related to alex was ✨unhealthy✨ but i absolutely adored her character!!!! black cat gal through and through. i loved how devin saw right through her tough girl act (we might have tattoos and scowl a lot but i promise we're big babies!!)

devin, our paw daddy!!! he was lowk kinda mean tho but i'm into it!! smack me around daddy😍 no seriously though he was kinda an airhead sometimes and just didn't understand why what he said hurt alex or whatever and idk it was kinda embarrassing for him at his grown age to be acting like such a dummy but 💀 child actors and all. i did feel super bad for him and the way he was treated by his parents all his life, like a revolving door of money and dependency. id still bark for him tho.

everything in between was fantastic!!! i loved their little agreement and all the shenanigans they got into. the chase in the woods??? HOLY CRAPPPP i was panting. the submission???????????????? BARK BARK BARK

idk why this is releasing in march because this was a howling good time for october and im so glad i was able to read it!!! 💜✨🐺
