Synopsis (Goodreads):
Big horns. Bigger… heart?

When city artist Lila inherits her great-aunt’s cottage she expects rustic charm—not a fixer-upper with a failing roof and a grumpy, reclusive minotaur living next door. Torin is big, brooding, and annoyingly attractive. He might have the social skills of a tree stump, but every time he stomps to her rescue she’s more intrigued.

Torin likes his life quiet, his woods undisturbed, and his horns—and his heart—well out of sight. Unfortunately his deliciously curvy new neighbor has a way of bypassing all his carefully crafted rules. She’s sweet, sassy, and impossible to ignore.

But Torin has spent years hiding, and Lila’s presence threatens to upend the safe, quiet life he’s built. As the town's art fair approaches, Torin must decide if he’s ready to show more than his carvings to the world!
Thoughts on Horned to be Wild: A monster friendly locale with serious small town vibes? Sign me up, besties! Seriously. I'm down for the monsters and the poorly kept secrets that roam the streets.

First up, there's Lila. She just inherited a serious fixer-upper from her great-aunt and she's ready to simmer in small town life. Plus, she ditched her obnoxious ex (who was super dismissive of her art) and she's totally not planning on starting any relationships in the near future. Which, AS ONE KNOWS, is the exact recipe to summon a hunky, grumpy minotaur who has a few trust issues.

Which brings us to Torin. He's heart-wary and has absolutely ZERO intention to get involved with his new neighbor. But Lila is persistent and kind and she's nothing like the woman who shattered his heart. Also? She's has serious appreciation for his wood carving and slowly chips away at his walls with her sincere compliments and obvious love of the things he makes.

One (not-so) secret library project, (more than) a few household repairs, a super obnoxious ex, a mischievous (and matchmaking) goat, a storm, a minotaur who is a wood carving cinnamon roll, and a lady who is willing to fight for the monster who matters to her most. *thumbs up*
