Not Guilty of Books

  BOOTYLICIOUS Legends Series by Becca Seymour Release Date: July 31, 2026 Review I’ve been obsessed with reading this series since my first look at the covers! I mean, they are amazing, and I’m super excited by the Legends theme. Bootlicious is a bigfoot/human pairing. Boone is in charge of a monster network, carrying the weight of that responsibility on his shoulders. Meaning he rarely has fun. But his one indulgence is a slightly accident-prone researcher, Elias. He follows him around, keeps his equipment safe, and rescues him when necessary (more often than you’d think!). There’s not just the funny and sweet encounters between these two, but there’s also a larger world of cryptids and monsters, their worldview, and a bit of a creepy mystery. I can’t wait to follow the world and its other couples.

  COFFEE SHOP MONSTER AU Because Canon Sucks - Series by KC Carmine Release Date: July 22, 2026 Review Small town goodness…check.  Sweet romance…check.  Gorgeous bigfoot…double check! Love Bigfoot as a character.  Rowan is a great guy, despite being grumpy and not overly enthusiastic about living in the small town for the summer. He’s also not thrilled with his job, which lends to his grumpiness. His grumpiness is no match for Milo’s warmth and brightness. He runs himself ragged, but always manages to find cheer.  Which is why some fun between these two for the summer seems like a perfect plan.  But best laid plans and all. It’s a warm story, and has some wonderful side characters to round it out. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Rowan: Moving to a tiny town for the summer because of my joyless job was not ideal for a city bigfoot like me. I’d be much more pissed if Wendigo Hills wasn’t surprisingly welcoming and the barista in the coffee shop w...

The whole world is wonderful and the characters are delightful, just as i expected from MA. Greg, our IT guy, is cheerfully adorable. Always making sure to be ready to solve Sean's computer problems. I mean, above and beyond! *wink wink* Sean is slightly grumpy, but it’s no match for Greg’s cheer, care, and candies. Their courtship is cute and chaotic and I loved the whole thing so much.
