Elias - freelance consultant to Monster Smash Agency, and prestigiously rare moth fae - has never been in love. Granted, he's never been interested in the emotion, but with his friends mating with their clients, the new curiosity is keeping him up at night. If only the act of loving made any logical sense. And if only he could find someone to draw him in like the moth to the flame.

Victoria is looking for facts not feelings. She wants to understand why the monster species are so much more satisfied than humans, than her. But the handsome mothman who volunteers to aid her study wants to stimulate more than her intelligence. She's willing to explore their physical chemistry, but she wants no part of his designs on her heart.

Some lessons can't be taught, and love is certainly one of them.

Elias and Victoria are so perfect. For being so smart, they're exceptionally dim about feelings. They could benefit from watching Inside Out. But they are fascinating, and seeing them figure each other out was very hot.

I loved how she handled Victoria's bedroom needs. I guess I loved how Elias handled them. :) The consent is impeccable, per usual. And getting to see and talk to all of the other monsters through the lens of Victoria's thesis research was really fun.

Elias's plan for finding love was fascinating. And the idea of making himself be in love no matter what was also very relatable. Their ending is perfect for them as well. UGH so good. I want to squeal about it but I don't want ultra mega spoilers in here.
