Creepin U Book 2: Dryad, Try Again by CD Rachels

 

Creepin U Book 2

You’re formally admitted to Creelin University, known locally as “Creepin U.” The only things wilder than the monsters prowling around campus are the spicy male-male love stories unfolding between classes. “Dryad, Try Again” is book two, starring a hard-working human, and the tree spirit shifter who never stopped caring about him. Each book is a standalone M/M spicy, spooky romance, but we hope you enroll in them all.

I didn’t think I’d ever see my first crush―a human―again after humiliating myself as a sapling of a kid. But now we’ve both bloomed, and we’re going to college together. What’s a tree spirit to do?

I never fit in anywhere until I got to CU. Now, I have friends, I help the staff, and I’m acing my studies. No serious relationships for this dryad, not after the disaster of my childhood. 
But like a willow in the spring, my past has returned. I knew they were letting in humans at CU, but what are the odds that I would befriend my childhood first kiss?
Tanner has more than a few emotional scars from his youth, not least of which was how we met. He claims he’s fine, but I instilled in him a deep-seeded fear of the trees I love. I make it my mission to teach him all about forestry from a first-hand perspective, as well as life living with monsters.
Between the shared laughs and stolen glances, it’s entirely possible the sprouts of attraction between us were never uprooted. Spending time with him could be the second chance I never knew I needed. But now that we’re not saplings anymore, can I convince him I’ve turned over a new leaf?
I’ve had my branches tangled over Tanner for years. With two hearts on the line, it’s time for this dryad to try to be the perfect monster for this human.

Dryad, Try Again is a second chance MM monster romance romantic comedy. It features first kisses, sunset picnics, and yes, freaky tree spice scenes. At Creepin U, a HEA is always guaranteed.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Kovi will never forget his first kiss with the human boy he met when he was a kid. He will also never forget how they lead to him being unable to control his ability to shift into a dryad and accidentally hurt the boy that was his only friend and crush. And he never saw him again after that. Until now. Fate intervenes when Tanner arrives at Creepin U. Unfortunately, getting hurt as a kid left him with some phobia of monsters that reside in the forest, but even he can’t deny the attraction he feels to Kovi. And when he learns that he was the boy who gave him his scar and was his only friend back then? Well, his confused feelings only last a moment because what he feels for Kovi is so much stronger than a childhood accident and fears. But anxiety isn’t something to simply pushed aside. For both of them. They’ll have to fight for one another if they want any chance of a future together. I really enjoyed Kovi and Tanner’s story! I loved that they met as kids and now have a second chance of a love that could have blossomed if they were given enough time. I’m really enjoying this world and these characters and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the series brings!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
