Blurb/Summary:

He swore off dating humans. She wants to live on her own terms. Will a fake relationship ignite a true flame?

Wolf-shifter Noah Fitzgerald vowed he would never return to his pack. Abandoning the group after an unforgivable tragedy, the stubborn orchard farmer refuses to step up after his estranged uncle and leader dies. So he’s grateful for the gorgeous distraction offering to help with his boutique distillery’s marketing.

Ruby Knights needs her family off her back. After a terrible engagement drives her to run away to a quiet Australian alpine town, she tries to bury her attraction to the handsome cider maker. And when he suggests they act as a pretend pair to stave off attention, she readily agrees…even though she’d rather it was real.

Worried that another liaison with a mortal could mean more heartache, Noah desperately keeps his distance despite her irresistible scent. And unable to understand why the hard-working man runs hot and cold, Ruby’s long-suppressed intuition demands that she uncover her bogus boyfriend’s furtive secrets…

Will the couple’s sham hookup turn into a supernaturally supreme love?

Shacking up with the Shifter
 is the charming second book in the Crowley Lake Chronicles paranormal romance series. If you like lovable protagonists, slow-burn steam, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, then you’ll adore Rhiannon Hartley’s witty tale.

Review:

Shacking Up With The Shifter is a cute and heart-warming story. I loved watching Ruby and Noah grow more into their own people. This story has lots of angst and communication issues moving the plot along.

The town has plenty of paranormal characters that are still not out to the public. This scenario creates some interesting interactions, as well as the fake boyfriend/girlfriend trope. Rhiannon Hartley includes plenty of humor and fun characters in this story. We get to see and hear more from Tamara, the Fae from the first Crowley Lakes Chronicles book.

Noah and Ruby are interesting characters on their own. Together they have great chemistry and bring each other to another level. I enjoyed their story.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
