Synopsis (Goodreads):
Together they can solve any case.
But when it comes to unlocking her heart, he doesn’t have a clue…

Violet Locke has always been great with puzzles. Her intellect and eye for detail let her solve just about any problem. But when it comes to people, she often finds herself without a clue. When a hunky alien moves in downstairs and immediately falls for her, will she finally learn to listen to her heart instead of her head?

Hannibal and his brothers are doing their best to assimilate to their new lives on Earth. Desperate to find mates among human women, they know their adventure will be cut short if they fail. Earth customs can be super confusing, but one thing Hannibal knows for sure is that curvy, brilliant Violet Locke is destined to be his mate. All he wants is to use his superhuman strength and powers to sweep her off her feet.

When Vi’s latest project turns into a race against time to find a neighbor’s missing dog, the two will have to work together to track it down. Though they might be close to finding the kidnapped pooch, Hannibal is afraid Vi will fail to discover that what has truly been missing from her life is love.
Thoughts on Hannibal: Freshly minted aliens on earth! And by that I mean we have hunky aliens in new bodies who learned all their social cues from TV shows and old movies. Which sounds like it could be a recipe for disaster, but Hannibal and his brothers did okay. Possibly because the house they're moving into is full of people who are already a little off-beat. Meaning the aliens' social issues aren't all that much of a problem.

Which brings us around to Violet. She's quirky. In a fun way, mind you. She's trying to figure out a small business to open (as part of the parameters of an inheritance) and she's...not really loving the idea. Of a small business. Where she might have to interact with people. But she's planning it anyway. Hannibal is hunky, listens when she talks, and doesn't mind helping her with things others might complain about. Which Violet kinda likes.

On Hannibal's end, he pretty much knows Violet's the one for him as soon as they meet. Finding your fated mate is everything for his people, so he's all in at first glance. He just has to figure out how to convey that to violet without making a mess of things.

A rash of missing doggos, a few Scooby-Doo references, one socially awkward woman, family, friends, and two individuals who figure things out at exactly the right time. *thumbs up*
