Expected 4 Jun 26He's out there. He's tall, dark, mysterious, and elusive, despite years of searching. I know he exists.
Sasquatch is real, and I'm going to find him.
The perfect man for me? I'm not positive he exists. My friends are confident they'll track him down, though.
My friends say I'm too picky when it comes to men. Shirtless Adam, the forest ranger, says I need to mind my business when it comes to Sasquatch.
Guess what? They're all wrong, and this summer I'm going to prove it.

What a fun romp through the woods this book was!
Stevie is passionate about Sasquatch and even more so when she finds one in her favorite woods. She is quirky, endearing, entertaining, and loves hiking. She has had great examples of good men and is on the ever ending quest to find the perfect man which is turning out to be more difficult than she expected.
Adam is a quiet, giant, wilderness man. He lives and works alone with the Biddeford Land Trust. The town calls him "shirtless Adam" and he is good with being alone.
Elise is the queen of EPIC meet cutes. Stevie and Adam are no exception. They end up in a whirlwind of hilarious encounters, and misunderstandings. These two were so perfect for each other and I loved reading about their story! The friends medling and matchmaking Stevie was entertaining. The bet got a little tedious and out of hand, but it was from a good place. 😂
Dual pov
Forbidden love
Mutual forest lovers
Lots of Sasquatch
Bet
He takes care of her

No spice - just kisses
No language
Favorite things:
Podcast
Ruth's encouragement
Terrible dates
Crocs
Sasquatch shirts
Favorite quotes:
Can’t chew hot ravioli like a man.
I hope I haven’t ruined his chances at having little Shirtless Babies. It would be tragic not to pass on those genes.
Driving past Shirtless Adam on the highway at fifty miles per hour is one thing. It’s like getting a whiff of chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Sitting next to him with those intense eyes and that enveloping cedarwood scent? With that T- shirt? It’s like diving into a pool of warm, melted chocolate, and I am drowning in it.
It’s like the needle on my compass has been spinning for thirty- four years, and it’s finally found north. Is Stevie my north?
“I’m nowhere near good enough for you, but I’ve never wanted anything more than this.” I’ve never wanted anything more than her, I realize. She’s true north.
I want to claim her, but I know I can’t. Good men don’t claim wild things; they observe with respect and appreciation. And sometimes they nip at their lower lips, just a little bit.

This is the third book in the Rumors of Cape Georgeana series and while it can be read as a standalone, you are going to want to read the full series as the characters crossover.
This book is hilarious! I started laughing out loud on the first page and kept it up throughout the book. There are just so many great moments and nuggets in this book! (Chapter 12! I'm seriously dying!! 😂) Elise Haynes is an amazing writer!
Adam and Stevie are the best! It really makes you wish that they were real so that you could be friends with them. Adam is the perfect shy, often times awkward, introvert and Stevie is the perfect amount of quirky. I loved their banter, the nicknames, and how their relationship progressed.
Make sure you check this book out - you'll thank me later!
I received an advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Quotes (many you'll have to read the book to get/understand):
"It's fun having a deranged group of strangers in my corner."
"The kids and me visiting their mom in the asylum."
"There is no world where there's an adequate explanation for the Crocs headlights..."
"Perfection is boring. Overrated."
"Being an introvert isn't a disease you need to cure."
"It's possible to love people despite their imperfections. It's not only possible, but necessary...No matter who you're with, there will come a time when things aren't ideal. But if you're lucky you'll find someone who is perfect for you."

🫑: kisses only
🤬: none
This book is super duper cute! Continuing on in the quirky town of Cape Georgeana was such a fun ride. This book is light hearted and low-angst, making it the perfect feel-good read.
Stevie marches to the beat of her own drum and I love that! She’s spunky, she’s silly, the type of FMC you enjoy reading about. Adam is a tender-hearted, swoony, giant of a man that you love to root for! He is an introvert with a big heart. He spends his days caring for the nature preserve Stevie grew up roaming around in. These two have very different personalities, but they fit so well together.
Like the previous books of this series, the town residents seem determined to meddle. But this time, Stevie is the one on the receiving end of their misguided efforts. She and Adam find themselves in a crazy predicament, with lots of laughs and mishaps along the way.
I really enjoyed this book and hope you love it too! Elise has such a gift with mixing stories and humor together so well.

Just finished it and my first impressions are :
Perfection! Elise is an amazing author. I love a book I can get immersed in without my pesky editor brain interrupting the experience. This is it. No notes!
This book is the perfect balance of everything. Shy, socially-uncomfortable Adam is melt-worthy. Willing to be brave to get the girl, but most of what he does just comes naturally. Stevie Saoirse Sullivan (such a great name), also known as Carrot Cake, is just the right amount of wacko. (I'll tell you I have a low tolerance for crazy FMCs and Stevie is just fine.) She's smart, clever, and adventurous. My kind of girl. I love them both.
I loved the forest being a major setting of the story. We get plenty of on-page time with Ike & Diana and August & Marlow. Lots of laughs and swoon. It's all just a lot of fun!

If she writes it I'm reading it!!! This series has been so fun to read and this one is not an exception!! Elise's humor is unmatched and I absolutely loved this book from start to finish! I loved all of the bad dates and the secret dating trope in this. I highly recommend if you love witty humor and closed door rom coms!!
I did receive an advanced copy and this is my honest opinion!
