Publisher's Summary

Life in a small town can be tough. It can be even tougher when you're a witch whose magic regularly backfires. But Summer Thorne only wants one thing: to create the perfect sanctuary for unwanted animals. Nothing and no one is going to stop her. Not even the sexy sheriff who is determined to shut down her rescue center. And certainly not the laboratory where she illegally obtained her mischievous chimpanzee, Morty.

Sheriff Cooper Carlyle has one goal: to keep his town safe. That includes his stubborn neighbor, Summer, whether she wants him to or not. When the animals of Summer's menagerie get loose and create havoc, he decides enough is enough. But things aren't always as they appear, and Coop stumbles upon the secret the Thorne sisters have been hiding.

Coop and Summer discover Morty holds the key to unlock a 20-year-old mystery surrounding the death of Summer's mother. Now Coop is faced with breaking the law he is sworn to uphold in order to protect Summer and her beloved pet from a threat more dangerous than any of them imagined.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed this book but . . .

I want to start by saying this was an enjoyable listen because it’s going to sound like I didn’t like it.

The Male Lead uses the terms female and females when woman and women are the more appropriate terms which makes him sound like an incel.

Prior to the events of the story, ML hurts the female lead in a truly devastating way and [spoiler warning] doesn’t ever really redeem himself. FL’s family believes that each member of their family will have only one romantic love in their entire lives and despite ML’s treatment of FL, FL has never stopped carrying a torch for ML. So when ML decides he does actually want to have a relationship with FL, he barely even has to apologize to win her over. And whenever he messes up, it’s the same thing again. I’m not against enemies to lovers, [end of spoiler warning]

ML is also very possessive of FL, and most of the characters subtly express some pretty old-fashioned ideas about heterosexual relationships (queer people don’t seem to exist in this world).

While FL and her sisters are very supportive of each other, when they talk about other women their comments tend to be very judgy and they repeatedly make slut shaming and body shaming comments.

Multiple characters of both genders (again there’s no evidence of queer people existing in the book’s universe) make references to and jokes about seeing other characters naked without their consent.

TL;DR The story is overall fun but it’s a bit like walking on uneven ground, there are some unexpected dips.
