What to expect
When parks department supervisor Reece Rollins decides to sign up for a triathlon, there are two things holding him back. One, his fear of monsters. Two, his sub-par swimming skills.
At the urging of his sister's wolven mate, Reece joins Leviathan Fitness to train in the gym's olympic size swimming pool. After running into Reece at the pool, Cyrus offers to help Reece get ready to win the race.
New feelings arise from the depths as Reece and Cyrus learn that monsters and humans go together, tentacle in hand. The only question is, can these two hold on to their newfound love despite their differences?
Contains mature themes.

In this second installment of the Leviathan Fitness trilogy, the author delivers a solid entry in the monster romance genre, embracing and executing the tropes fans of the category have come to love. The book fits comfortably within the established conventions of supernatural romance, providing readers with an enjoyable and familiar narrative experience.
The novel stands out for its nuanced portrayal of the Kraken love interest, who is refreshingly well-developed beyond typical supernatural romance tropes. Unlike many similar genre works, this character is not reduced to a simplistic, hyper-sexualized being, but instead presented as a complex individual with a thoughtfully constructed physiology that feels authentic and believable.
The human protagonist's journey is particularly compelling, as they navigate and ultimately overcome significant attitude challenges. This character arc adds depth to the story, providing a satisfying personal growth narrative that keeps readers invested.
The budding romance between the main characters is delightfully cute, developing with a natural and endearing progression that feels both genuine and charming. The narration supports this beautifully, maintaining a pleasant tone that never becomes grating or overwrought.
Fans of the first book will be pleased to find that this sequel continues the series' strong storytelling. The writing remains engaging, the world-building intriguing, and the character dynamics both entertaining and heartwarming.
Recommended for readers who enjoy supernatural romance with depth, humor, and genuine character development.powzipbam 2025-07-07
