It wasn't supposed to be REAL! Bigfoot doesn't actually exist. Yetis, shifters, creatures of the night ... none of those exist. Right? Right? There's nothing about perky -- some might even say twinky -- Oliver Hughes that would make a skeptic like Sensational News' (Never Fake! We Swear!) reporter Wilson Banks think otherwise. But while pursuing soundbites for a tabloid story about Bigfoot, Wilson witnesses something he wasn't meant to see. In Wilson's new reality, is there room for love with someone whose dreams are as big as his ... er ... feet? This fun novella has a paranormal twist, a hint of mystery, and a flavorful dollop of romantic comedy. Mix it all together for a satisfying HEA! Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is a novella that stars Wilson Banks, a tabloid reporter, and Oliver Hughes a resident of Tallbear. Wilson is sent on assignment to Tallbear to gather info about Bigfoot. He’s not trying to prove Bigfoot exists, but to make the story believable enough to keep readers interested in the paper he works for, Sensational News. He meets Oliver, a happy-go-lucky guy with colorful hair. Oliver dreams of one day leaving Tallbear to live in a big city.
The book is a fast read and has a HEA. The writing is good as is the editing. However, it didn’t work for me. I’m guessing this is an, ‘it’s me, not you,’ thing since most people liked it. Here’s why I couldn’t get into this story. The first chapter was mostly monologue and felt like someone’s rambling thoughts. I’m not a fan of this type of writing. Next, events happen, but they’re pretty much non-events. I didn’t feel like anything interesting happened until Wilson went looking for his phone. The plot was interviewing people, and having sex with Oliver. Wilson seemed like a nebulous figure, other than him being curious and asking questions, I didn’t learn much about him, nor did I learn much about Oliver except something at the end. As characters, they were pretty blank. This is an instant lust story that turns into love within two days. I found that unbelievable because if I can’t relate to characters that aren’t described well, how can I believe in characters that fall in love in two days? I felt like I was only given a small view of each character’s personality that didn’t create a fulfilling picture of who they were.
Overall, I felt like I got an incomplete story. For example,
