About this book
Clara Bellweather is the living embodiment of organized chaos. A librarian whose life is governed by color-coded calendars and meticulous systems, she is perpetually failing at the art of modern dating. When a simple request for a ladder goes horribly wrong, she accidentally initiates a text conversation with a stranger who turns out to be far more than just a neighbor. Instead of a helpful handyman, she has inadvertently struck up a connection with Rion, a massive, brooding minotaur with horns and a heart of gold.
This delightful shifter romance thrives on the classic grumpy-sunshine dynamic, pairing the perpetually flustered Clara with the reclusive, intimidating Rion. As they are thrown into forced-proximity during the planning of a town event, their initial texting mishaps blossom into a genuine and spicy connection. Beneath his gruff exterior, Rion is the steady presence Clara never knew she needed, proving that the perfect partner might just be the one you least expect.
Perfect for readers seeking a cozy paranormal escape, this story blends humor, heart, and a touch of magic. It is a sweet, spicy exploration of acceptance and finding belonging in the most unexpected places. If you believe in the transformative power of a wrong number, this is your next must-read.

I loved how this book was written. It made me wish that such things as minotaurs, and the like, were real. There was magic in this book. I really enjoyed how it stayed positive, how people rallied together for what was right. This story is definitely one of my favorites! )

This was gooey and mushy in all the right ways! It was the first book I've read that wrote out texts the way she did and it wasn't bad. Sometimes it pulled me out of the story which was the only draw back. )

Were there no editors available? So,so many plot errors. Examples\" * \"the few times I've been here.\" (You were there once) * \"dropped you off yesterday.\" (It was that morning) * \"tell me why you wanted to be a librarian.\" (Thus conversation already happened via text) * \"my bull-headed boss\" he responded \"I'm not bull-headed\" (he is highly educated he would not have thought that statement was about him. * she writes in a text: \"monster, oops sorry non-human\" that isn't how texts...
