Lycan King Problems #2
The Lycan King Thinks My Brownies Were a Proposal
Somebody left a crock on the potluck table and never came back for it.
The tape on the lid said FROST. BLACKTHORN ROAD. THE END OF IT.
So I filled it with brownies and walked it home.
I’m the cook at the Grange in a town too small for secrets, and I have one nothing goes home from my hands empty. I left that crock on a stranger’s porch with a thank-you note.
By sunup it was back on my doorstep. Still warm. Venison stew, and no note.
I sent a roast chicken. The crock came back with honey, the comb still in it.
Then I met Callan Frost. Six foot five, a century-old alpha king, and the quietest man I’ve ever fed. He growls at my sixty-year-old mailman. He is also, it turns out, the wolf the size of a pony who takes chicken skin off my porch most nights. I named him Biscuit.
“I’d been hungry a hundred years, Nora.”
Here’s what nobody in town thought to mention. In Frost Hollow, a dish sent out full is a question. Send it back empty and the answer is no. Send it back full and the answer is yes, and after the third one, it’s kept.
Callan knew what my brownies meant from the start. I did not.
Now I’m two dishes into a courtship I started by accident, the whole town wants to know what I’ll bake next, and the man at the end of the road is perfectly willing to let me make up my own mind. That would be easier if I hadn’t spent twelve years leaving towns that never once asked me to stay.
One more pan of brownies and it’s binding. I haven’t decided whether to preheat the oven.
A cozy, spicy small-town wolf shifter a cook who feeds everyone but herself, a century-old alpha king who courts her one dish at a time, an accidental proposal, a whole town that knows before she does, and no drama that outstays its welcome. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA. Standalone.
Accidental Proposal • Courtship by Casserole • Century-Old Alpha King • Small Town Secrets • He Was the Wolf on Her Porch • Heroine Holds the Power • Found Home
Spicy (open door, heat on the page, warmth-led) │ Light, funny, emotional │ Dual first person, present tense │ Standalone │ HEA, no cliffhanger

This story was sweet, funny, steamy and adorable. I enjoyed the plot and the small town setting, and the banter was a lot of fun.

The Lycan King Thinks My Brownies Were a Proposal is part of the Lycan King Problems series, which transports readers to a small town full of secrets. The stories are fun, emotional, witty, and steamy. Each story could be considered a standalone (with very strong Alpha vibes), but I’m betting once you’ve visited, you’ll want to return for more. I know I’ll certainly be back. Tansy Underhill is a new-to-me author, and one I’ll definitely be following.
Nora and Callan’s story is full of those moments that just pull me further into the story: witty without being sarcastic, a small-town feel where it seems everyone knows what Nora doesn’t, an Alpha who has been waiting a very long time for his fated mate to appear…and is willing to let her make her own choice. I was easily swept up in their romantic journey. Their romance is well-written, engaging, emotional, full of laugh-out-loud moments, and steamy in the best possible ways. I had fun here, and that’s the entire purpose of shifter romance for me. If that sounds like your kind of fated mates romance, then you’d enjoy The Lycan King Thinks My Brownies Were a Proposal.

The Lycan King Thinks My Brownies Were A Proposal by Tansy Underhill was a fun, lighthearted paranormal romance! The premise is absolutely hilarious: a batch of brownies somehow gets mistaken for a marriage proposal, leading to a wonderfully chaotic courtship with a very determined Lycan King. I really enjoyed the cozy small-town setting and the mix of humor, romance, and spice. The wolf-shifter elements added just the right amount of paranormal excitement without taking away from the sweet, feel-good atmosphere. The chemistry between the characters was entertaining, and the over-the-top courtship moments had me smiling more than once. This is a great choice if you enjoy alpha wolf shifters, accidental misunderstandings, small-town romance, protective heroes, and a healthy dose of spice. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is part of what makes it such an enjoyable read. Overall, The Lycan King Thinks My Brownies Were A Proposal was a cute, spicy, and genuinely entertaining romance that left me with a smile.

How could you not love a hilarious story of how a batch of brownies gets mistaken for a proposal and to of all people the lycan king. The world building in this book was so good, I loved the cozy small town with all of its problems. Then the chemistry, romance and spice was spot on between them. Which didnt take away from the humor and the cozy atmosphere. This was a first time reading of this author and i cant wait to read more from her.

Just think, Nora and Callen will always have brownies lol. This story was so much fun. The enchanting small town was so magical and cute. Callen being a wolf shifter realizes that Nora is his mate, but lets her draw her own conclusions instead of forcing it on her. These two were so sweet, so funny. Their banter and moments were everything. This was sweet and spicy. Cute and filled with so much fun. This is the first time I’ve read this author and I’ll definitely be going back for more

Not what I thought
It’s criminal that this book is marketed as a quick and spicy shifter romance. It’s more than that. It’s a slow paced story about food and love, about traditions and doing something new, about staying or going. I would definitely read more from this author.

what a lovely and rich story!
This is a rich and full love story. It’s complex and delicious. The two communities are characters, too. I didn’t want this story to end. It might seem too detailed but that’s exactly what makes it perfect!
