3.75 stars. Enjoyable fated mates novella.

This was just what I needed to make me smile on a grey, rainy Sunday afternoon. An engaging, easy to read, short but sweet charming novella with a bit of humour.
It is a fated mates story but there’s no insta love here between the two very likeable main characters. Hart, the liger shifter, has to put in some work and actually romance Dayton, the small town history teacher. There’s no over abundance of steamy scenes but what’s there makes the heat level rise.
A few issues crop up to try and derail their HEA but they manage to negotiate them without being too angsty.
I would’ve liked just a bit more background regarding the pride and how Dayton come to be in it.
