Propositioned by the Billionaire Moose by Eve Langlais
3.0
I only read this book because a) the title is so outrageous, b) it was on Audible Romance package and therefore free/ paid for, and c) it was short. I haven't previously read any shifter romance (which I know is a THING) so I may have missed references to known shifter tropes or elements that Langlais may have satirized. It was an ok read, pretty funny and light. There were some cringey parts, like a comment about how women don't call the police on handsome stalkers (ergh) and some weirdness about virginity. The narrator was spot-on, he sounded like he was playing a part in a John Hughes film. I felt like the author could have taken it further in the direction of satire and it would have been more fun, there isn't much to the humor beyond the fact that characters are moose shifters. Overall a fun, short read.
ETA: you know this book may have been really strong satire and I just can't tell based on my recent reading being full of kind of cheesy billionaire hero romance. So, it's a grey area for me maybe? It's definitely cheesy in a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek way, which is just how a lot of contemporary romance is now, I think? Which I like.
