About This Book

Deep in the Oregon woods, a determined granddaughter and a very conflicted anthropologist are circling each other — and the truth — in ways neither of them expected. Abby Winchell is ready to fight for her grandfather's credibility when he claims he's spotted something extraordinary on his property. Roark Wallace has his own reasons for making that evidence disappear, reasons that go well beyond academic reputation. What unfolds is a romance caught between secret-keeping and genuine connection, where the stakes are personal for everyone involved and the chemistry is impossible to ignore. Thompson makes it easy to root for both of them even when they're working at cross-purposes.

Thompson writes paranormal romance with a warm, knowing wit that keeps the pages turning without sacrificing emotional depth. The Wild About You series hits a confident stride here, balancing the playful absurdity of the premise against characters who feel genuinely grounded and funny in the way real people are funny. The pacing is brisk, the banter is sharp, and Thompson's touch with small-town ensemble dynamics gives the story a lived-in texture that rewards readers who appreciate world-building worn lightly.
