Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

There were no humans who were like Doctor Dolittle. That was one of Dillan's favorite movies, and he’d always wished he knew a human he could talk to.

I think this one is (mostly) a case of ‘it’s not you, it’s me’. I had some pretty high expectations due to a facebook comment (I never, ever learn), which the book wasn’t able to meet. It’s not bad by any means, but what I bought the book for didn’t happen, so my thoughts are very much colored by that. It also gives new meaning to ‘slow burn’, considering the MCs don’t actually meet until 50%. The stuff happening before they meet is entertaining, but it did reach a point where it felt a little silly. I liked the found family aspect, and I wish I could continue reading, as the books aren’t at all standalones. There’s a new couple for every book, but each couples’ story continues in the other books. If the books were in KU I might have continued.

The editing left a lot to be desired too, unfortunately. It somehow got worse as the book went on.

The tiger shifter MC didn’t shift a single time during the book :( Can’t believe they didn’t cash in on having a tiger snuggle a house cat. Swing and a miss.

"It's probably scared," Karen said. Alex huffed and flipped him off. If Dillan had fingers, he would return the favor. Instead, he glared at Alex, daring him to get close. This time, Dillan wouldn't miss his face; he would scratch Alex to ribbons. "It's fucking glaring at me."
