Despite numerous reported sightings, anthropologist Alice knows the infamous river monster Haltamaha-ya doesn't really exist. All she wants is to get this land survey around the river done so she can go home and get back to her life.

But after a run-in with a mysterious stranger she finds herself looking deeper and deeper into the river... and its inhabitants.

River guardian Holt—a true creature of legend—is determined to stop the development plans near his nest. But when he sees the small female human cataloging his home he decides to take a closer look.

What he discovers will change both of their lives forever.

This is a MF monster romance short story with adult language and open door scenes.

★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 / 10

This was a quick and fun monster romance between a human woman and a lake monster who is a smaller version of the loch ness monster and can shift into a human appearance. I thought this was an interesting and fairly lighthearted short story and I plan to read more by this author in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
