Episode 122 - Meat Cute

If you like your murderers to be hot and principled but still a bit awkward, then have we got the book for you! Join us this week as Katie shares Meat Cute by Millie St. Graves!

Book Description

Dean Campbell is reformed.

He hasn’t killed anyone in years.

He keeps his head down, drinks his coffee black, and follows the rules. The Butcher of Black Lake is old news, and Dean plans to keep it that way.

Then June Whitmore moves to town.

June is a librarian with a sharp eye, a bad past, and zero tolerance for dangerous men. She wants quiet. Safety. A fresh start. Falling for the town’s most unsettlingly polite man was not part of the plan.

When June’s abusive ex resurfaces, Dean knows exactly how to handle it.
June knows exactly what kind of man she’s sleeping with.

The only question left is how far they’re willing to go for each other.

Darkly funny, sexy, and unapologetically morally gray, MEAT CUTE is a slow-burn romance with sharp dialogue, high tension, and a hero who’s trying very hard not to relapse.
