Synopsis (Goodreads):

Ingrid Asher is the newest resident of Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shapeshifters, vampires, witches and dragons live alongside humans.

Ingrid doesn't ask for much. The solitary tree nymph just wants to live a quiet life running her ice-cream shop in peace. Unfortunately, she can't seem to shake her new neighbor, Rob Aspern, head of the League's data science department and so good looking it just isn't fair.

If there's one thing Ingrid doesn't need, it's someone poking around in her business. But the more she gets to know the hunky mathematician, the more she finds herself letting her guard down. Can she trust him with her secrets, or will her past destroy everything?

Thoughts on Even Tree Nymphs Get the Blues: A tree nymph with some serious trust issues (and some serious hermit-like tendencies with a bonus love of all things ice cream) and a League scientist who is just trying to be nice. For the record, his attempts at kindness go sideways because of Ingrid's above mentioned trust issues.

That said, you gotta like a nymph who believes in the power of good ice cream (and shares it during social occasions). And those hermit-like tendencies? She does make an attempt to get to know some of the ladies in town. She's a little awkward about it, but she tries.

On Rob's end, he's a genuinely good guy (who happens to work for the League) and he's a little smitten with Ingrid the first time he sees her. What can I say? I like the dude. He's kind, not pushy, and he tries to do the right thing. And when the right thing backfires, he backs off and gives Ingrid space.

The town and residents of Mystic Bayou are a hoot and Ingrid seems like she'll fit right in. Her and her ice cream, tbh. And if she has a honey-bunny to snuggle up with on those dark nights, all the better.
