Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A sweet, liberating romance that delivers satisfying spice and a charming monster boyfriend.

Synopsis

Grace has a job she loves, a community she adores, and plenty of friends . . . but her lack of bedroom action has left this event planner too horny to think. When one ill-advised night at the bar leads to her giving an exhibitionistic show to an unknown presence outside her bedroom window, she thinks she’s hit a new low. When her voyeur turns out to be a nebbishly charming mothman, Grace needs to decide if she can trust her body — and her heart — with this garnet-eyed stranger before he flys out of her life for good. Sweet Berries is a monster/human romance featuring high heat and a lot of heart, with a guaranteed HEA. It is the second book in the Cambric Creek Steamy Sweet Monster Romance series

At a Glance

A mothman and an event planner walk into a small-town summer—and somehow it becomes the coziest, filthiest romance you have ever read. Grace and Merrick are the couple you root for from page one: she is healing from a bad relationship, he is quietly devoted in a way that rewires your brain. Cambric Creek feels like a town you want to move to, monsters and all.
