Olivia Montclair is tired of hiding. Seeking a fresh start, she lands in the quaint, rural town of Beckett Falls, determined to build a life where she can finally belong. The catch? She is a shifter masquerading as a human, a risky deception that keeps her on edge. She craves the warmth of a pack, but she is terrified that revealing her true nature will cost her everything she has worked so hard to secure.
Ben Beckett knows exactly how to balance two worlds. As the town council president to tourists and the elected alpha to his local kin, he carries the weight of Beckett Falls on his shoulders. But when his wolf catches the scent of Olivia, everything changes. Ben is certain she is his mate, but he is completely unaware that the woman he is falling for is hiding a secret just as primal as his own.
This delightful paranormal romance weaves together witty banter and spicy tension with the comforting embrace of found-family dynamics. As their connection deepens amid shifter hijinks and pack politics, Olivia and Ben must learn that true love requires the courage to be vulnerable. Perfect for fans of cozy, lighthearted reads with a side of growl, this story is the ultimate palate cleanser that will leave you desperate to return to the heart of Beckett Falls.

I already want to be back in Beckett Falls! I enjoyed Olivia and Ben so very much! Their chemistry is great and the story remains pretty light start to finish which is exactly what I want from a cozy romance. I adored how worried Ben was about having to tell Liv he was a shifter and how it all played out. Shifter aspect was well done too; I liked that there were many different animals people could shift to! Lastly, I enjoyed the side characters and I like that we get glimpses of who the future...

From the walkable city to the delicious sounding restaurant, and we gotta throw in a random small town festival haha I really enjoyed this book! I desperately needed a light cozy break from the dark fantasy I had been reading. I loved how funny it was and I’m always a huge fan of large friend groups. I know this is part of interconnected...
