Leona
I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. My ex just married my sister at a fancy hotel in upstate New York. The party is just getting going when I reach the last of my strength. I can’t take it anymore. With no idea where to go, I run into the woods, hoping to catch my breath. In my panicked state, I get off the hiking trail and lose my way. The music is so far away, I’m not even sure what direction it’s coming from. That’s when I see a lion. I must have lost my mind because there are no lions in New York. My instinct says to run, but there’s something in his eyes that’s almost human. I see pain and hopelessness, and in that moment, I can relate to this beast. Thinking he must be injured, I carefully draw close enough to see there’s an injection dart protruding from his chest. I might lose an arm for my troubles, but I move in and pull the needle.

Cade
At first, I imagined the beautiful brunette running toward me was a woodland sprite. I’ve been stuck in my manticore form for too long. Soon I’ll lose my humanity completely. I don’t know who shot me, but with the poison still pumping in from the syringe, I can’t turn back. Then she speaks, telling me to please not bite her. Her voice is sweet and soothing. She pulls the damned needle. I immediately shift into a man, wanting to know more about the angel who saved me. So, when she runs, I chase her. Why she’s more scared of a naked man than the monster? I don’t know, but I’m willing to spend the rest of my life trying to find out.

What a great story! A crazy dysfunctional family is always a good twist. Sisters not being close ok. To find your forever person? That is worth all the drama!! Then there are more twists where you least expect it.

This book was fun. I enjoyed reading about a mythical creature that is not seen as much as others. The Manticore was so sweet and caring. Leona was very brave and I love that she was willing to go up to a dangerous magical creature to help it.

It was fine. MMC and FMC were only memorable in that the backstory was so much. The steamy scenes dragged. Too much tell, not enough show. Overall the title says it all: it was fine.

This is a quick spicy read. Leonal is not having a good day. Cade is having a worst day. This is an awesome story that is both interesting and exciting. Something foul is threatening Cade’s life and Leonal has to help save him. This is a totally wonderful book that readers will enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will she want to be with a man/monster like him?
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
A good short fantasy story. Leona has had enough of her sister's wedding. Her sister married the man that Leona was engaged to just a short while ago. It seems her sister always has to have her way. As Leona escapes to the woods for a while, she gets turned around and a little lost when she hears a sound of pain. There is a beast there with a problem. She isn't afraid of the beast, but when he turns into a man, she runs. What is wrong with her? She must be hallucinating. Did she just see that beast turn into a man? Cade isn't sure he will be able to turn back into a man after being shot with a dart. If he doesn't turn soon, he will stay a monster. When Leona happens upon him, he knows right away that she is his mate. Will she want to be with a man/monster like him? If she stays, he will protect her with his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short, Sweet and so VERY steamy! 💋

I bought this as an e-book and absolutely loved it! I haven't read anything else by this author yet so I really didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the story fairly well written. The main Characters are so easy to fall in love with and I could definitely relate to the inner perils of having a difficult family. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series 🙂.

I don't want to give away any spoilers so I will just say that if you want to read something short, sweet and definitely all kinds of steamy...then this book is for you!

5/5 stars!!

Thank you for your wonderful story ❤️ 😊. Please write more monster romances in the future!

Leona had escaped into the woods from her younger sister's weekend wedding extravaganza. She stumbles upon a manticore but isn't frightened she feels his beast calling to her heart. Satisfying karmic smack down when Derek her ex and nasty sister and up in cuffs. Great HEA for this combustible couple!
