About this book

Tess Goldwood is an extrovert stranded in self-imposed isolation, living on a lonely houseboat in a decaying marina. Her only companion is her dog, though she has long suspected she is not truly alone. For months, a mysterious, silent guardian has watched her from the shadows. When the creature—a stranded, kraken-like monster named Bale—finds his own life in jeopardy, the wall of silence finally breaks, sparking a deep, intense connection between the human woman and the otherworldly beast.

This steamy monster romance delivers a unique blend of paranormal intrigue and heartfelt devotion. As Tess fights to protect the man who has spent months guarding her from afar, their mutual attraction shifts from hesitant curiosity into high-heat, mind-blowing intensity. Bale is as reserved as he is powerful, but the fire in his eyes reveals a soul completely captivated by his human charge.

If you are hunting for a quick, sweet, and spicy paranormal escape, this novella is the perfect addition to your reading list. It explores the dangerous, tender intersection of human longing and monster devotion, forcing Tess to confront a harrowing choice: keep her protector close and risk his destruction, or let him go forever.

This is Tree's book. We met her in the last book in the old runner down marina. In this story she's being watched over and protected by Bale. Bale is a kraken type monster stranded in Earth dimension. His people were at war and while he was fighting his enemies ambushed him and sent him to Earth where he has been yelled for several years. When he sees Tess for the first time and sees her grief all he wants to do is protects and comfort her. When she's threatened well lets just say he'd doing...

That must be some awkward kissing…

I liked the beginning of this book, because of how different Bale was; so hesitant and a little confused. Once he got going though, he sure knew what he was doing. )

Another wholesome and romantic continuation

I love how sweet and simple these stories are. It's just enough to really let you see the characters and have a little angst before it gets wrapped up. Sometimes you really need a pallet cleanser after a complicated story and these have been so good for that. I am always left waiting to see what the author will come up with next! )

so cute
