2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Passion of a Papillon (Fuzzy Love #1)
Passion of a Papillon (Fuzzy Love #1) by Tara Lain
This is one of the most organic meet-cutes I have ever read. Let me be clear about what I mean when I say this: most meet-cutes are helped along by expectation of the interaction, and thus the author is forgiven a certain amount of hand waving in acceptance of this pact between author and reader. But this meeting between potential lovers flows so seamlessly, the characters coming together as a natural procession of events and with so little finagling of the plot-- it's an utter delight. Though I felt the pacing of the story didn't truly find itself until the second half, the tension and reveal were deftly built, and then it was an engrossing ride toward the climactic encounter. And let's not even skimp on how adorable the doggo is! I love Batshit and all her little quirks, not the least of which is her NAME. Still chuckling here.
