Book two in this series has us back at the Ragdoll and this time it's the mysterious kelpie owner stumbling his way into love!
From The Kelpie Crush blurb:
A fae walks into a bar and catches a hungry kelpie’s eye.
Rob's current goal in life? Do not eat people. That's easier said than done when you are a kelpie in the service industry, especially when a nice-smelling, yummy-looking man walks into your bar. Yet, patrons especially are not for eating, and it should have ended there… except when Rob smells that delicious scent again, the beautiful stranger needs help.
A half-elf, half-fae, Bertrand just wants to live a normal human life and work as a journalist. When he pursues a story about people going missing, what he finds is anything but normal.
Coming face to face with a kelpie stallion might be enough to help Bertrand see where he fits in perfectly, except Bertrand doesn't really know what to make of his chance encounter. There is also a story he needs to unravel before he can even think about Rob's advances.

After finishing book 1, The Banshee Bartender, I was happy to know the author had more love matches up their sleeve for the workers of the Ragdoll. This time we have Rob, the owner of the establishment himself. Rob is a kelpie. A vegetarian kelpie in fact. This means that he spends most of his time thinking about how tasty people would be, but not actually eating them. It was pretty funny how often he would have to chastise himself for fantasizing about taking a bite out of someone.
I enjoyed the whole Kelpie lore part of the story. How a kelpie takes on a rider and then leads them to their bed for some sexy wrestling. I was just as surprised as Bertrand when Rob told him how their night was going to go. For someone who doesn't socialize much, Rob had no issue making his needs known. I like a man who's upfront with what he wants, and so, apparently, does Bertrand.
The Greedeater and Cloud Demon have their hands in things again somewhat. Something is familiar about them or both, but I know I haven't read a book with those two as the MCs. I checked. I also wouldn't say no to learning their origin story. I bet it would be wild! I don't know who is next in the Ragdoll series, but my money is on Kyle. Maybe he'll attract someone at the bar with his sexy new look! Who knows!
The Kelpie Crush is currently available as an e-book and paperback
