Love At First Sighting: A Forced Proximity Cinnamon Roll Monster Romance
All she wanted for Christmas was silence. What she got was a Sasquatch with a sourdough addiction.
Burnt-out baker Penny Lanes retreats to a remote fire tower to escape the holidays. Her plan? Bake bread and be left alone. Harry is the forest's hidden guardian. He knows the never interact with humans. But the scent of Penny's fresh sourdough is too tempting to ignore.
When a killing frost traps them together in the glass tower, survival means sharing body heat. As the storm rages, Penny discovers that the 8-foot-tall monster under her bed is more gentleman than beast. But with a predatory supervisor closing in, Harry must remain a ghost, or become the monster the world fears to save his mate.
He stole her sourdough. She stole his heart.

I’m officialy infatuated with a monster! 👹 Seriously, I didn't expect to fall this hard, but Harley Wolfe delivered exactly what I needed. Love at First Sighting was truly the “warmest hug” in book form. It’s quirky, it’s sweet, and it has just the right amount of cryptid charm. If you want a story that makes you giggle (and I really mean laugh out loud because that monster really had the lines) and melt at the same time, this is your next read! Absolutely loved loved loved this!

Total AI garbage! You know a book was written with AI when it has almost no typos but enough plot holes to choke a horse. It starts when the heroine’s backpack suddenly becomes a trunk—which she apparently got from Mary Poppins, because in addition to 2 weeks' worth of clothes and canned soup, it was able to hold a French press, her grandma's cast-iron kettle (or is it a skillet?), 3 bags of flour, a bed skirt, a 2-foot potted pine tree, and (I am not making this up) a freestanding coat rack!
Meanwhile, the 400- or possibly 800-pound cryptid hero who has lived in a cave for either 20, 40, or 100 years can read English, has somehow seen “The Empire Strikes Back,” and knows who Harry Styles is.
The story is all over the place. The setup is that the baker heroine had an anxiety attack at work (during which she dropped a tray of either eclairs or $500 worth [?!?] of croissants), quit her job, drove until she got to a ranger station, then spontaneously took a job as a winter caretaker for a fire lookout after seeing a flyer on the wall. But a few days later she's reminiscing about having lived there for a year and being a very competent ranger who has actually spotted fires in the past, while the hero is confessing he watched the lookout for weeks and had her routine memorized.
When they first meet, she and the hero only exchange about a dozen words before they fall asleep, but when they wake up the next day, she somehow knows his name and jokes about the time she threw a potato at him (wait—add that potato to the inventory for her magical trunk!).
Their romance is even more head-scratching: In Chapter 9 they unceremoniously tumble into bed and start banging, but in Chapter 10 he spends an entire page agonizing over whether to defy “The Code” just to touch her cheek. Later there's another sex scene that's written like it's their first time together—and includes some of the same dialogue from Chapter 9!
I probably spent more time writing this review than the "author" did writing this book with AI, but I just had to vent my frustration over the way a fun, interesting premise was totally squandered on absolute AI trash!
