Description
MISSING: the 6' total catch who swept me off my feet last night. Sleepy little Cryptic Cove is just the break I need: sunshine, salt air, and beach parties 'til the sun rises. On break from a career as a plus-sized dancer in Hollywood, I'm not even here to hook up. But once I spot Pacari with his piercing green eyes, abs like armor, and thighs I'd love to sink my teeth into, I have better plans. Only problem is: he's gone with morning like the infamous mists of Cryptic Cove. But the memory of his mouth between my legs sure as heck isn't. Next time I see him, his hands are all over other people, but his eyes never leave mine. And once he leaves the room, no one seems to remember him. Except for me. When I catch him with yet another person outside the bar, I'm left with some big questions: Why is he messing with other people if he can't take his eyes off me, What the heck is that monster between his legs --And how do I get on it? Hot Summer's Prey is the first book of the Wet Hot Monster Summer series, a mystery monster romance novel featuring a cheery, plus-sized Filipina dancer and an environmentalist, sex-worker adjacent sea creature as their worlds collide like a tidal wave. Caution - Splash Zone: You May Get Wet.
