Sypnosis: 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

Review: Okay, this series is really becoming one of my favorites. I love how the characters are so sweet and there is hardly any angst in this one.

I kinda like that - no angst, no exes coming into the picture to ruin things, and no other obstacles standing in between. This is what I like some of my romances to be. The male lead is sweet, nerdy, clumsy, and awkward. He has never dated before and Grace is his first. Grace, on the other hand, has gone through a divorce and trying to make it out in this place. She is always horny but she wants no strings attached. After all, who would, especially after a messy divorce? When these two come together, the sparks fly and now Grace has her chance to find someone to love.

The romance is slow and there is no insta-love. I honestly loathed that. I hate how romance stories never give either the female lead or male lead a chance to develop before they fall in love and always the romance feels either too quick or it feels too forced. This one did not give me that sort of vibe. Merrik and Grace were sweet and the romance between them was hot, spicy, and believable. I liked that. I liked how the romance between them was there along with the need for sexual gratification. I need more romances like this.

Seriously, looking forward to the next book in this series.
