Get ready to have your heart—and your taste buds—grated by Ellen Mint’s latest masterpiece, Why Cheese? This 350-page romantasy were-cheese thriller is the perfect blend of steamy romance, cheesy puns, and a plot so ridiculous, it’s brie-yond your wildest dreams.

Violette Reely thought inheriting her great uncle’s abandoned cheese shop was a stroke of luck. What she didn’t expect was to find a trapdoor hiding a secret basement… and four naked men who were definitely cheese wheels just moments earlier. Talk about a gouda surprise!

By day, these cursed hunks are trapped as cheeses. By night, they’re human—and they’re wheely hot. Roq is the brooding leader who’s tough as parmesan and twice as sharp. Cam is the flirty bad boy with lines as smooth as a fresh wheel of brie. Cheddy’s got the kind of hunky charm that makes you want to shred all your inhibitions, while Brie’s sweet, artistic soul is impossible not to fondue over.

Violette’s caught in a real pickle. These men need her help to protect them while they’re vulnerable, but centuries of betrayal have left them grilled. And Violette has a secret of her own, one that could send their budding romance straight into the cheddar. Can she crack the code to their curse, or will she let her feelings melt away like butter on toast?

If you’re a fan of fantasy romance that’s as heart-melting as it is hilarious, Why Cheese? is the gouda-st book you’ll read this year. Pour a glass of wine, grab some snacks, and dive into this legend-dairy tale of love, trust, and the magic of perfectly aged passion.

Available now—because life’s too short not to fall in love with sexy were-cheese men. And if you’re curious, there’s a free sample chapter waiting for you on the book’s Amazon page!
