Lauren writes the cutest men. I read this after Swearing At A Sea Monster and I’m glad Satine got the mate she deserves.

This was another short novella I’m the Folk Haven series, and I think I loved this one the most. I was wondering who would be Santine’s perfect mate when I read Levi’s book, and I’m so glad she found someone that loves her the way she deserves to be loved. 

Mahon’s energy was infectious, and I found myself smiling or laughing at his attempts to get to know and woo Santine. He’s a good mix of loveable goofball and dirty talker. I would have loved to see them have a full length story. I do hope to see more of them in the future, as the series continues. 

Super cute and sweet with pretty much no drama! I lived the slight vulnerability and his sweet wreckingball personality! Loved it! I definitely need more!

This was so good!! Satine is a monster without a human form, and even in the town of folk haven she is seen as odd. Mahon is a bear shifter working a few odd jobs, including as a delivery driver for local cafe. She rarely goes out and even though he delivers food for her regularly he has never seen her. When his vehicle breaks down at her place she ends up coming out and meeting him for the first time. He doesn’t judge her appearance or seem unsettled by it, in fact he seems to what to know her, be her friend or maybe more. It is such a cute story and Mahon is so sweet.

This story is a balm for the heart.

Satine lives a secluded life due to her inability to shift into a human form. The bear shifter who routinely makes her food deliveries has caught her eye, and she’s taken to creating monster scenes in her front yard. When his scooter breaks down they finally meet face-to-face, and Satine is shocked to find that her form doesn’t catch him off guard. In fact, is he flirting with her?

Satine is such an independent FMC, used to keeping to herself. Cinnamon roll Mahon is just a joy with his easygoing, go-with-the-flow attitude.

If you’d like to read a quick, truly enjoyable paranormal romance read, Mooning Over a Monster is a great choice. While it is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.

Special thanks to the author for the ARC. All thoughts in this review are honest and my own.
