After Do your Worst i was so excited to see what Danan would do next. This book was so much fun and I really enjoyed it. Devin I wanted to throw out of a moving bus at times, but as the book went on I understood him more. I couldn't put this down really and I am excited to see what Danan does next.

Another funny, fantastic romance from Rosie Danan. I really enjoyed Do Your Worst, and I was excited for another of her novels. Fan Service was everything I wanted it to be, romantic and emotionally rich, but without losing the humour or whimsy of the plot. A rumination on celebrity and individual, that was also a stand out romance. 4 stars.

4⭐️ 3🌶

I really loved watching the friendship, crush and then relationship blossom between Devin and Alex. I related so much to Alex, being so involved in fandom and finding comfort in fandom away from everyday life. Devin, made me cry but also made me want to strangle him, Devin, 100% had his toxic moments, but his trauma and not knowing how to have people look after him broke my heart. His desperation for a reboot, because without being needed he didn't know what to do with himself. I loved that the Wolf was so obsessed with Alex and being near her. This reminded me so much of a story pulled write out of a fanfic. I don't know if there was but all I could picture with the wolf was teen wolf. I really enjoyed all the references to fandom, This book was a highly anticipated read for me and it was great.

Thank you for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

I originally wasn't going to give feedback for this book, but decided to once I'd thought about it more. I really disliked the MMC, the way he was cruel to the FMC was for plot development, I understood that, but he was incredibly unlikeable from the get go and just really insufferable the whole way through.

a true love letter to fandom culture (& especially to anyone who had a teen wolf era) 🤍 highly recommend for a fun, silly and sweet paranormal romance read!

the book started off slowly for me especially as Devin isn't the most likeable or relatable character in the beginning, but he soon grew on me as he adjusted to both his new werewolf situation and Alex's small town. also loved that both main characters were a bit older and had more life experience than many romance books, and how their experiences shaped their personalities and approaches to life. Alex's dad Isaac was such a sweet side character and I love how he and Devin bonded over wolves throughout the book. I would have loved to see more of Alex's online friends though, especially a debrief between them all towards the end!

p.s. there is no knotting in this book - whether this is a pro or a con is up to you.

Thank you to Netgalley & Little, Brown Book Group for the arc!

Dnf at 16% I struggled with the MMC I just found him unlikeable and I just didn’t really care about his issue. I usually enjoy Rosie Danan so this is a shame! Thank you for the arc!

I’m very much living through my fandom / obsessed era right now and this book just feels like it was made for my heart. If you want a book that’s a gorgeous emotional spicy romance, that is just as equally a love letter to fandoms past and present, this is it!

This was everything. Alex having run a fan forum for a werewolf detective show but she’s not really a big fan of the main actor, Devin, after he was mean to her when she met him as a teen. And oh now in the present the shows over but Devin actually might have become a werewolf and who better to help him than some mysterious person who ran an online forum that must know more about werewolves than anyone? Oh yes, I’m in.

And it truly wasn’t just the insanely brilliant plot, Alex and Devin felt so real, they were completely fleshed out characters whose every emotion passed on to me in every way. What came across clearest to me was their loneliness. It’s addressed in a mean way but not in an actual productive way, but it’s clear how much fuller their lives become with each other in it and that broke my heart a bit!

As for the romance! 🫠 I know from Rosie’s previous books that she can write tension and sex so well, but the way my stomach did this fluttery twirly thing every time Alex and Devin had little thoughts about each other?! Oh my word.

Another masterpiece from Rosie, she will never disappoint me and I will happily devour every single word she writes!

This book was incredibly entertaining and I loved the premise of this story. I loved the way the author represented the fan communities and the contribution they make to the industry

I enjoyed this, interesting concept, easy read. Definitely one Id recommend it to any PNR lover. The characters are easy to bond with and the story flower really well.

This review is for Fan Service by Rosie Danan which released in the UK on the 11th March! Thanks so much to Netgalley and Piatkus for giving me an eArc copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I have liked Rosie’s previous books and I was super excited to read this one, as it has a little more of a fantasy twist. It was super easy to read and I loved the female main character a lot!

It focuses on Alex and Devin, Alex the former fan girl to the TV show ‘The Arcane Files’ and Devin the actor of the main character on the series, who is somehow turning into a werewolf. It’s black cat x sunshine trope, and I loved where we actually get to the see the FMC as the black cat in this book. Devin did actually annoy me a little bit at the start of the book, as he did seem super pretentious. But you do end up loving him by the end, he is truly the biggest sweetheart. You do get to see a lot of character development from both of them, learning to love themselves as well as each other. The characters were also a little older in this book with Alex being in her thirties and Devin in his forties which was a refreshing change! You love to read about characters a little closer to your own age sometimes, as much as you wish you were still in your twenties 😂😂

I felt it was a super good blend of normal fantasy and didn’t push too hard into the shifter fan fiction style. I did love the mentions and hat tips to fan fiction readers and writers, and hints to online fandoms. I would definitely recommend this to any romance readers out there, especially those that have loved a little fan fiction in their lives. 😉

In this paranormal romcom, The Arcane Files superfan Alex Lawson and washed-up actor Devin Ashwood make an unlikely duo as they navigate a supernatural mystery that is equal parts hilarious, steamy, and heartwarming.

The plot is refreshingly unique, blending werewolf lore with modern fandom culture in a way that feels fresh and engaging. The dynamic between Alex and Devin starts with tension and witty banter, but as they work together, their chemistry becomes undeniable. Devin, in particular, is a total sweetheart—his struggles, both supernatural and personal, make him an incredibly endearing character.

The character development is a major highlight. Alex goes from an online critic to someone who sees the real Devin beyond his celebrity persona, while Devin himself undergoes a transformation (literally and figuratively) as he comes to terms with his new reality. Watching them grow individually and together adds depth to the story beyond the romcom and paranormal elements.

Overall, this book is a fun, sexy, and surprisingly heartfelt read. If you love a mix of supernatural shenanigans, slow-burn romance, and lovable characters, this one is definitely worth picking up!

If (like me) you are a BIG fan of Fanfics and the wonderful communities they can create, especially those featuring werewolves, look no further than Fan Service! This was such a fun, and surprisngly emotional book following misfit Alex who learnt a long time ago to not meet your heroes, while Devin (total Golden Retriever) is verging on washed up actor trying to relive the heights of his once popular TV show. However, one day his Werewolf show gets alittle *too* real, so who better to help him out than the oracle of his paranormal show Alex?

I really liked this book. It had a really interesting concept, and was a fun, paranormal, steamy romance.

A fun, steamy, and insightful rom-com that delves into fandom culture and the blurred lines between celebrity and personal life. Rosie Danan brings her signature wit and charm to a story about love, boundaries, and self-discovery. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and the banter is top-tier. While some plot points feel a little predictable, the book is an engaging, enjoyable read with a lot of heart.

I enjoyed Fan Service, which is well written with an engaging plot and characters with depth. Paranormal romance fans have a treat in store with this one.

This book was really fun. If you are or were a fan of supernatural tv shows then this book is for you! I loved the fan concept of the book and it was fun to read. I found the first 50% quite hard to get into but by the end i couldn’t put it down!

Fan Service was a brilliant surprise, a fun, entertaining read that I wanted to keep picking up. It is / has:
🌕 F/M Paranormal romance (werewolf)
🌕 Opposites attract
🌕 He’s a celebrity (MMC is in his 40s)
🌕 Dual POV

The story is a celebration of fandoms. Adult me who grew up watching paranormal tv shows, loves that there is an adult romance book exploring this. In Fan Service we follow Devin, a previous paranormal tv show star that has a situation of life imitating the plot from his tv show as he becomes a werewolf; and Alex a vet tech and previous fandom moderator that may be the only person able to help him.

So what I liked:
• This was an excellent concept and there was a few unique twists to the werewolf trope (but there was also some of the things you’d want from a shifter romance too) = me, a happy reader.
• After the first few chapters I was unsure, I hadn’t warmed to Devine and questioned if I would (he’s self-absorbed and egotistical). But I judged too soon and Devin had great character development! I did a 180 and was eager for his POV.
• Alex was also a great FMC, I liked her from the opening pages.
• This was a funny read too, it had me laughing and smiling. Extra editions in the text (messages, fandom posts / entries) added to the reading experience.
• Also explores some interesting themes: celebrity / fame, how people who are famous are treated, manipulative parental relationships.

Some other thoughts:
• The lore / magic is a little sparse but I did not mind this too much.

This book is giving a very strong MTV Teen Wolf vibes which I love even down to the trials that Devin has to undergo to test his werewolf abilities and even Alex working with animals. The idea that Alex as a super fan of the tv show Arcane Files and uses her extensive show / fandom knowledge to help Devin overcome and control his animal instincts was interesting and started off as a strong concept.

The contrast between Devin being a stuck up actor and the reality of him actually being lost and coming to terms with the end of his career gave his character some depth. But I'm undecided on whether I actually like his character and his general behaviour throughout the book. Also, I didn't really connect with Alex and Devin as characters and felt the romance element was rushed without enough build up and tension. I'm not usually a reader of werewolf books so I don't think this book fitted my personal taste. But I would recommend this to anyone who loves werewolf romances and that genre.

Rating 4 out of 5 stars

I loved this book. I am in a real werewolf phase now and I thank this book for it. I haven't read anything like this before when a unsuspecting character turns into a werewolf without knowing anything like this can happen. Devlin was a TV werewolf in a popular show from years before. Now in his forties after getting fired from his agent he begins to change into a werewolf. He goes online to a non inactive fan forum of his show and contact the moderator, Alex, who whilst loves the show, wasn't a fan of Devlin as a person. The two have to negotiating this change in Devlin together and obviously fall hard for each other

Devlin being protective of Alex is so cute and taking me back to my AO3 days reading werewolf fics. This is a love letter for werewolf fic lover and is done so well. I love Rosie's writing and she has become an auto buy author for me.

Three words to describe the book:
wolves
horses
actors

Fan Service is a cute, steamy and heartfelt romance that is a love letter to anyone who has belonged to a fandom, whether it be a television show or book series and spent hours scouring the internet either reading fanfiction or being part of an online group. The number of times I saw myself reflected in this book was insane and honestly made me really sentimental about my own experiences.

I really enjoyed the whole premise of this one and found the paranormal aspect explained really clearly and done well. The characters were incredibly well written, especially Alex who I feel a lot of us can relate to. I thoroughly enjoyed Devin's character arc in this and loved that his journey and life outside of being an actor were so well developed! I'm always here to see a main main character get the love and time they deserve. I will admit, I wasn't sure if I liked Devin or the way he spoke to Alex sometimes but the more you get to know his story you somewhat understand and it was nice to see him change for the better.

I definitely recommend picking this one up if you're looking for a contemporary romance that has a splash of paranormal elements, especially if you're looking to start your journey into paranormal romance.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
