Summary

From the nationally bestselling author of A Lady for All Seasons, a COVID-conscious trans romance in which a cryptid hunter searching for a mythical lake monster finds love with a grumpy skeptic.

Twenty-something Nathan Camber is fresh out of both grad school and ideas on what to do next. Dealing with a dire job market is hard enough as a gay neurodivergent man—so he doesn’t. Instead, he decides to pursue his lifelong hyperfixation: cryptids. Leaving the city behind for the r…

Critics Review

“Love and Lake Monsters blends humor, heat, and a big dose of heart while exploring real issues with a tender touch. The small-town, grumpy-sunshine romance will hold you like a warm hug while the gripping cryptic hunt will make your heart race.” – Bei Lin, author of From Beijing, With Love
“Love and Lake Monsters is the perfect blend of terrifying monster hunting and cozy romance. I adored Nate and Mack, and every time they added another member to their found family, my heart swooped. Alexander skillfully balances the humor, heart, and heat, and I was so grateful to be along for the ride.”

– Emma Barry, author of You, Me, & the Conspiracy
“Love and Lake Monsters is an autumnal treat: cryptid hunting, a grouchy trans man in flannel, sexy times in an abandoned camp, and a refreshingly Covid-conscious romance. I adored the atmosphere as much as I adored the way Mack and Nate bring out the best in each other.”

– Kara Jorgensen, author of The Reanimator’s Heart
“Laugh out loud funny, desperately hot—and genuinely life-affirming to see such a realistic, no-bullshit, immune-vulnerable love interest. (Also, a deliciously competent gruff trans daddy.) Both exuberantly fun, and so meaningful to see a love story in that sidelined reality.”

– Hari Conner, author and illustrator of I Shall Never Fall in Love
