Book Review: Love is Trash in Hallow's Cove

 

After a string of awful relationships and cheating exes, Hayley is fed up with dating. Her solution? Swear off dating humans and look for a monster mate in Hallow’s Cove.

When she moves to the quaint town inhabited by more monsters than humans, she quickly realizes that finding her match isn’t as simple as she’d hoped. Let down by dead end dates and awkward flirting attempts with the locals, Hayley resigns herself to the fact that she might not be destined for love.

Turns out her fated romance is closer than she thinks, when raccoon shifter Jake stumbles upon a pair of her torn unmentionables. It’s love at first sniff as he realizes from her scent that Hayley is his mate.

The only problem? She’s a sweet, charming human who’d never want a dumpster-diving weirdo like him. Will Jake be able to show Hayley the treasure that lies beneath his trash-loving exterior?

This is a cozy, sweet and steamy monster romance novella that takes place in the small town of Hallow's Cove, a shared world in a multi-author series. Love is Trash features a dumpster fire raccoon shifter MMC, a hopeless romantic human FMC, underwear theft, and unconventional dates.


My Review
I got a total kick out of the fact that Jake's raccoon shifter side is named Beans. I thought this was a hilarious name. The way that Beans would go feral over Hayley's scent and kept chanting "Mine". As if he was Gollum from The Lord of the Rings and Hayley is his precious. Actually, I guess in a way she was as she is Jake's mate. 

The fact that Hayley was not turned off by Jake and that she suspected who he was but allowed him to reveal the truth was sweet. Jake is socially awkward. No shame as I am as well. Yet, it made for entertaining conversations and even lead to a dumpster dive stakeout date. 

This book is my second favorite in this series. I now need more raccoon shifter books. 

Warning: Be careful what you toss away as one person's trash is another person's treasure!
