The heroine: Elena – she is a wedding planner from Miami and she comes from a bit latino family, but she doesn’t fit in with her family or in Miami. She hates the heat and is more suited for the cold, so when an opportunity opens for a high paying job as an in-house wedding planner at a country club in a snowy mountain town called Screaming Woods, she jumps at the chance.
The Hero: Fynn – he is a yeti who hates being warm, due to his snowy white fur and lives at the top of a mountain overlooking the town of Screaming Woods. The town is different from all others, since so many monsters live in town. They used to be human, but there was an incident twenty years ago and many of the towns residents were changed forever. Since then, Fynn has become a recluse at the top of the mountain even though the townspeople, including newer residents all were well aware of the monsters in their midst.
The Story: Elena took the whole monster yeti reveal in stride, a bit too much in stride for my liking. She was surprised and fainted at first. After waking up and hearing Fynn talk and explain how he used to be a human but was turned into a monster, she just accepted the fact without even contemplating how crazy it all was.
I do totally believe the fact that a human female could fall in love with a ‘monster’ or an alien for that matter, since it would be easy to fall for any sentient being as long as you could easily communicate. Especially if you fell for their mind first. It would just take accepting your biological differences, which would be easier if you were already attracted to their mind. I especially can see the yeti thing, since some human men are extremely hairy and they find people who love them despite or because of it.
Elena became attracted to Flynn and got busy with him in short order without even taking time to wonder about how odd it was. I thought it was too quickly at first, It would have been all too fast if he had been a normal human man, but with his backstory it was even crazier. Though I have to admit some people are just very easygoing and not phased by things that other people might have trouble with.
I must say I did like the backstory and the fact that he was not the only one in town to be changed into a monster. I found myself wondering about the backstory more and how they got changed into the specific monsters they ended up as. I liked the fact that Elena never really fit in when she lived in Miami, and the fact that she seemed to run hotter than the normal human. She was in a snowstorm in a sleeveless dress and barely felt the cold.
Though, it was definitely an insta-love, which I am not that fond of, the story turned out to be better than I expected. After the two main characters initially hooked up, things slowed down from there and I really liked that. We got to see more of the quirky and whimsical town. it’s people and monsters and even some bigotry toward the monsters. And when the book is a short read, it is hard to make it anything other than insta-love.
I searched Goodreads for Monster Between the Sheets and saw that there are a bunch of books in this series, all insta-love stories written by different authors. Many of them featured some of the other monsters that appeared in this story, such as the orc, the minotaur and the gargoyle. I have to admit that I am a sucker for different types of monsters and aliens in romance. I do tend to picture them a little more human-like than some of the authors portray them.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
