Have you ever wished that Ryan Bergara was the tall glasses wearing one and that Shane Madej was a blue haired woman and that they fell in love with each other? Me neither.
But if it sounds like a fun romance premise to you: you can sit with us.
Honestly this book did all the things right for me as a cryptid lover and BuzzFeed Unsolved/ Watcher Ghost Files fan. The tropes present here were delightful, and the story of healing in this story was one I didn't know I needed.
The book honestly had me going back and forth between laughing, tearing up, and feeling that combination heart/stomach butterfly thing at all the spicy bits.
If you like hot romances where the characters move past trauma together while also providing lots of laughs and spicy moments this book is for you.
