Here's "Moody as a Minotaur" by Lori Ames. It's the first novel in her Willow Lake Pack series, which is a spin-off of the Willow Lake Supernaturals series.
["Magic isn't real, is it?
Parker’s intuition has been itching for months—no, it’s probably closer to years—telling him something isn’t quite right in Willow Lake. But sometimes it’s safer to ignore the feeling than expose truths you don’t want to face. Especially when Levi, the handsome and beefy owner of the local motel, is right in the middle of all the weirdness.
Okay, okay.
Parker might have an itty-bitty crush on the big guy, but who can blame him? Levi is delicious… and as the owner of a café, Parker knows a thing or two about tasty treats.
And now Parker’s Nana is in town and she hasn’t come alone. She’s dragged his cousin and his paranormal investigative team along with her. But her arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time, because Parker was finally making progress with Levi.
Now what is he supposed to do? Because, for the record, it is incredibly difficult to flirt when your grandmother is eyeing everyone, including Levi, like she's in the FBI and they are in the Mafia… or like she’s Van Helsing hunting down a bunch of powerful supernatural beings.
Because that’s ridiculous. Really.
Right?"]
And the official tags (because they're the best): ["MM Paranormal Romance, a wary minotaur, a curious human, a meddling grandmother, fish make great friends (mostly because they can’t talk back), no one likes a paranormal hunter, and secrets no one expected."]
I put off reading this one for the angst. Parker and Levi had been teasing us with their HEA for sooo long! I wasn't ready for the straight-up, in-your-face pining. Not to mention the stress of the hunters and Parker's family and Levi's past. It felt like it was all too much.
And in some ways, it was. But in typical Lori fashion, it was perfectly balanced with fluff and protectiveness and sweet feelings and found family. Plus more mysteries to be solved and more fated mates awaiting us in future novels.
Trigger Warnings: violence, mention of rape, mention of murder, people hunting other people, guns and shooting violence, injury due to a gun shot, fight ring, attempted abduction, home being broken into, bullying and bigotry, and more.
