Daring Deeds & Smutty Reads

by Britt DeLaney

The last thing book shop owner Lila Carlisle expected to encounter when she took out the trash one morning was a tiger. When a handsome stranger jumps in to help her battle and capture the beast, it throws them into a media circus. They soon learn that animals aren’t the only predators out there. Sticking together is necessary to keep their sense of humor and their sanity—but will it lead to more than just a shared spotlight?

I just read this in one sitting because I was having too much fun (and crying, but in a good way). The meet cute was absolutely hilarious and I loved the bookish banter between Lila (who owns a romance bookstore) and Lionel. My heart definitely went through it in the last third but all the emotional turmoil was well worth it!

This was such a cute and quick little read. I loved the characters and overall plot line. I would have read so much more of their story if it existed 🩷
