About this book
REVISED AND EXPANDED
A gym-owning wolven and a headstrong baker discover howl real their connection is in the first book of the beloved Leviathan Fitness series.
After a wedding cake catastrophe on the street, local baker Tegan lands in the most unexpected place—a solid wall of fur and fangs named Atlas. She’s never met anyone like him and finds herself enamored by his wolfish charm. After their sweet encounter, Atlas invites her to his gym anytime she needs his cake-lifting services.
However, Tegan is through with being a damsel in distress. She signs up for a membership with Leviathan Fitness, determined to build her strength…and if she sees the handsome wolven again, it’s a win-win scenario.
Atlas can’t believe his eyes when Tegan walks through the doors of his gym, and nearly goes snout-over-paw to offer her personal training. Shared glances over the barbell and accidental touches at the water fountain set Atlas’s heart racing in a way he swore it couldn’t again.
Primal desires emerge as Atlas and Tegan test just how much their new love can lift. Could Tegan be the unexpected mate of Atlas’s dreams?

Seriously the best description of chemistry between two characters I've ever read! This was Insta love done oh so well. Atlas and Tegan (love those names btw!) were so likable and I couldn't put this story down. I loved everything about this story. From their first meet cute to the crazy undeniable chemistry I just thought this was a pretty perfect story about a wolf and a girl getting struck by fate. It had the best blend of adorable and dirty. Seriously so cute and in the same breath it could...

This novella is a perfect example of how a book can be both cozy & spicy. A fun quick read, the MCs are adorable and the storyline is cute! This would make a good intro to monster romances. I look forward to reading the rest of the series! ~ monsters & humans, wolfen, mates, curvy representation ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|💋💋💋💋|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ )

can we pls talk about the cover of this book?! it’s gorgeous! so so in love with it! (and it’s dual POV?! omg!) tegan is a plus sized cake shop owner who’s looking to gain some muscle strength after a failed cake delivery and atlas is a fitness trainer and the owner of the gym that’s across her shop. this book is fairly short and very low on the angst. it does cover some serious issues such as past mental abuse and body dysmorphia. i do wish the author had addressed these issues a little more...

So call me weird, kinky, unconventional… I don’t give a single f*ck. I loved this book! Not only was it very kink positive, but as a plus size woman, it was also very body positive. I like how Ashley touched on size and body dysmorphia (and from a male perspective which is quite common and not discussed enough). Also I really appreciated all the trigger warnings listed before the contents page. Not that I had a problem with anything listed. But it was just very nice to know for certain what...

Infinite stars. This isn’t my first monster romance, but it’s the first to hit like THIS. I grabbed this on a whim because of the cover art. I never could have hoped that it would be so tailored to my wheelhouse! This book hit ALL the marks for me!! Tegan and Atlas healed something in me. My brain literally cannot compute the words to properly encompass the level of joy I felt on every single page. I’ve never felt fully comfortable in the world of romance. Something about this felt like coming...
