Prickle Island Zoo set

A Bookish & Spice Contemporary Romance July 2025 box bundle of the first two Prickle Island Zoo romantic comedy novels by Ali K. Mulford.

She's A Keeper: Lark Lachlan has her life under control. Although she enjoys the occasional summer fling with women, the devoted-to-her-career, bisexual zookeeper has no trouble keeping her heart in its cage. So she's a little surprised to feel an instant, all-consuming attraction to the handsome new volunteer, Logan. The last thing Logan Anderson needs is another failed romance. Looking for a final adventure before heading home to take over the family business, the outgoing New Zealander is intrigued by the hottie . . . with her hand down a monkey sewage pipe. But he runs up against her no-sleeping-with-volunteers rule, even when she drunkenly locks lips with him in a red-hot kiss. Lark is tempted to let passion run free with the fun-seeking Kiwi, but animal antics and a dwindling timeline threaten to keep them strictly platonic… Will Lark and Logan let nature take its naughty course?

Easy Tiger: He's trying to keep his livelihood afloat. She threatens to destroy it. Will two wild hearts finally be tamed? Hawk Lachlan will do anything to save his family's zoo. With only a year to prove that he and his siblings can handle the responsibility, the gruff eldest brother is determined to fulfill his father's legacy. So when the new gift shop girl keeps causing clumsy chaos, he refuses to let their attraction add to the mayhem. Hannah Murphy is getting desperate. Needing enough cash to help her mom retire, the gossip columnist takes a mysterious job to spy on the handsome grouch who always seems to catch her in hilariously compromising snooping attempts. But when she falls into a penguin pond and comes out shirtless, she can't deny their sizzling chemistry. Realizing the blundering beauty has squeezed her way past his defenses, Hawk grows closer to the woman helping him stay sane. But as Hannah finds herself falling hard, she fears her big secret has already doomed her chance at happiness. Will outrageous shenanigans lead to heartbreak or forever?
