Book Blurb:
Mia is tired.
She is tired of struggling with her divination spells.
She is tired of failing in her relationships.
But most of all, she is really— really— tired of not getting off.
Moving halfway across the country to hone her witchcraft with a skilled coven and putting enough distance between her and the temptation to call an ex, solves Mia’s first two problems. But achieving physical satisfaction proves to be much trickier.
Determined to find some way to burn off all that hot and bothersome energy, Mia throws herself into an intense workout deep in the swampy surroundings of her new home. Far from prying human eyes she is certain she’ll find the relief she craves. But when she discovers a strange watcher hidden among the vines, she realizes she isn’t the only one suffering from her body’s unsatisfied desires.
Creature prides himself on being good at his job— efficient, determined, and unwilling to stop until he achieves completion.
He’s a swamp monster, he has seen the harm that the untamed emotions of humans can do to the land he protects. So, when a witch’s far more powerful vibrations mess with his home, he knows he must act fast to prevent disaster. Soon Creature discovers that his routine of frightening away danger won’t work with the feisty witch. Instead his job will require him to expertly tease and thrust his leafy tendrils to deliver the reprieve his swamp so badly needs.
Lucky for Mia, Creature is very—very—good at his job.
Review:
A swamp creature determined to do his job and a witch who ends up in his swamp... it's definitely an unlikely romance. Mia has moved across the country in order to hone her divination gifts but finds herself hitting a wall, it also doesn't help that she also hasn't had any physical satisfaction in years... so when her daily workout in nature ends up with her face to face with a very handsome swamp Creature he is determined to satisfy her... what's a girl to do but give it a go. A short, easy, and fun read! It's a great little read, especially for my Swamp Thing girlies.
