I'm looking for reviewers who love paranormal romance - especially contemporary romcoms. Books like Bride, The Fake Mate, My Roommate is a Vampire, The Devil She Knows, A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire, etc.

It publishes Jan 27, and reviews are requested by the end of January 2026, so you have plenty of time!

Tropes:
- she makes him stupid
- he has way too many abs
- she's a chaotic (sunshine) shifter
- he's a broody vampire
- failed 'pillow wall' (only one bed, oops)
- she's hurt and he bathes her
- antagonists to lovers
- banter in the workplace
- they're (literally) feral for each other
- hugging is a new experience for him
- first person, dual POV, and SPICY
- no third act breakup

Blurb:
Nothing sucks more than being sent on a work trip with a (probably) murderous vampire when your life is already falling apart.

Raya Merritt used to be called a freak for her inability to shift. Now she’s transforming at the worst moments. Rabbit ears mid-presentation? Check. Mouse whiskers in the pool? Yep. Cheetah spots while making out? Sure, why not. After a year of increasing turmoil–and with another full moon approaching–Raya is scrambling to make the most of a shifty situation.

Asher Sullivan has a steady income, a blood bank down the street, and he’s cut off all contact with his infamous family. No mayhem, no surprises–just the way he designed it.

Until a relentlessly cheerful shifter bursts into his life and upends it all.

When Raya and Asher are accidentally double-booked into the same hotel room on a business trip, Raya is determined not to let her inner animal run wild and ruin her career. Against his wishes, Asher's fangs ache to taste her, while Raya's shifter side purrs for him and no one else.

With the full moon rising, and Asher the only one who can help Raya control her urges… They soon learn that falling in love is a different animal entirely.
