But while pursuing soundbites for a tabloid story about Bigfoot, Wilson witnesses something he wasn't meant to see. In Wilson's new reality, is there room for love with someone whose dreams are as big as his ... er ... feet? This fun novella has a paranormal twist, a hint of mystery, and a flavorful dollop of romantic comedy. Mix it all together for a satisfying HEA!… (mehr)

I received Weekend at Bigfoot’s through the Goodreads ‘Don’t Buy My Love’ program for an honest and unbiased opinion.

This is a novella that stars Wilson Banks, a tabloid reporter, and Oliver Hughes a resident of Tallbear. Wilson is sent on assignment to Tallbear to gather info about Bigfoot. He’s not trying to prove Bigfoot exists, but to make the story believable enough to keep readers interested in the paper he works for, Sensational News. He meets Oliver, a happy-go-lucky guy with colorful hair. Oliver dreams of one day leaving Tallbear to live in a big city.

The book is a fast read and has a HEA. The writing is good as is the editing. However, it didn’t work for me. I’m guessing this is an, ‘it’s me, not you,’ thing since most people liked it. Here’s why I couldn’t get into this story. The first chapter was mostly monologue and felt like someone’s rambling thoughts. I’m not a fan of this type of writing. Next, events happen, but they’re pretty much non-events. I didn’t feel like anything interesting happened until Wilson went looking for his phone. The plot was interviewing people, and having sex with Oliver. Wilson seemed like a nebulous figure, other than him being curious and asking questions, I didn’t learn much about him, nor did I learn much about Oliver except something at the end. As characters, they were pretty blank. This is an instant lust story that turns into love within two days. I found that unbelievable because if I can’t relate to characters that aren’t described well, how can I believe in characters that fall in love in two days? I felt like I was only given a small view of each character’s personality that didn’t create a fulfilling picture of who they were.

Overall, I felt like I got an incomplete story. For example, Oliver ‘explains’ that the Bigfoot trait is genetic to Wilson. There’s no other information given. It’s just dropped. Genetic how? Were they born Bigfoot and then evolved into humans? Or were they human and then some were born Bigfoot? I’m guessing in such a small community, relatives might end up marrying each other to keep the secret. That’s one of my issues with this story, there’s not enough info about characters or anything else. Throw some info together and not bother to back it up and make a complete world. Maybe that was the intention, to resemble a tabloid story that never gives accurate information or enough information. However, the book isn’t a tabloid, and therefore felt off to me. Have you ever met a person and the two of you never get each other’s jokes or often misinterpret each other because you’re not on the same wavelength? That’s how Weekend at Bigfoot’s felt to me. There are things I can pinpoint that I know why the story didn’t resonate, but there’s a vague feeling that I think comes down to the author’s style of writing. As I said, ‘it’s me, not you.’ In any case, other people will probably like this book, I can only give it 3 Stars.

I loved this. It was so much fun. I adored the set up and the 'Bigfoot' headlines. The two leads were endearing and really cute together.
