COFFEE SHOP MONSTER AU drops Rowan and Milo in KCs Cryptid Alliance World for this big foot human pairing. Coffee, monsters, a mischievous aunt, and pesky family members all mix together to create this wonderful story!
From the blurb:
Moving to a tiny town for the summer because of my joyless job was not ideal for a city bigfoot like me. I’d be much more pissed if Wendigo Hills wasn’t surprisingly welcoming and the barista in the coffee shop wasn’t so damn cute.
Milo:
I was destined for chaos, not juggling work and school while wanting to visit my closest family member, Ethel, in a nursing home.
It would have been another busy but boring summer if I hadn’t followed Ethel’s advice to get some action just as a hot and hairy bigfoot moved into my hometown.
What started as a summer fling quickly turned into heated dates and feelings neither of us expected.

Molly Otto's review:
Milo & Rowan are dropped in the cryptid world this go around! Milo a feisty struggling twink barista human and Rowan a overworked bigfoot sent to a small town to work for the summer. Milo & Rowan have an instant attraction and with time begin summer fling, but when feelings come to play they show their true selves! Loved this alt universe that KC has put together for their Cryptid Alliance world to show us their way of putting kink into a paranormal universe. These two were a fun ride to see how they find a way to get that right balance in and out of their work lives. Mix in an epic aunt who must be cherished forever and meddling family of big foots and you are in for a feel good steamy ride.
Katriana Prey's review:
We have another Rowan and Milo story, everyone!! This time, Rowan is essentially a big foot, who loves city life but has to relocate to a small town in order to keep his job. He never thought small town life could be for him, but after meeting Milo and drinking his coffee... he realizes that living in a small town might not be so bad after all.
Milo is a human, well mostly, who owns a coffee shop he inherited from his Aunts, that he's trying desperately to keep going. He doesn't have time for fun or for men, but when Rowan shows up in his Coffee Shop and keeps showing up, he eventually succumbs to the tall, kind hearted man.
This story was really fun and very cute, and also spicy too. I liked reading about these characters, I've loved seeing how each author really made Milo and Rowan their own and KC did just that here.
These two men are complete opposites but I think that's why they work so well together. They compliment each other but also contrast each other as well, I loved reading about their relationship and seeing them slowly realize that what they had wasn't just a summer fling.
For me, I wish there were fewer steamy scenes/moments, I think the story itself was so great and would've loved to see more moments where they were going on a date or even hanging out with Ethel, rather than there being spicy scenes. However, I know I'm in the minority with that opinion and that's completely okay! I still really enjoyed this story regardless and I liked the concept of the world this book took place in.
