Nope, the one that kisses her like she’s everything he’s ever wanted and says very dirty things in her ear. There is a prequel novel to this book called Otterly Into You that sets up the story nicely. Kiss My Giraffe is the last book in the Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild series, which is set in the bayou town Autre, Louisiana. Not the one that’s almost always set in a grim line and says things like, “you got a permit for that?” Kiss my Giraffe was a really heartwarming grumpy sunshine romance with a few surprises and lots of exotic animals.

However, he is extremely narcissistic about his work, and when a senior curator dismisses his award-winning piece as conventional and bland, he loses his cool, leading to potentially career-ending repercussions.Īfter seeing his son's immaturity, his father-also a master calligrapher-sends Handa to a village in the Goto Islands as punishment. ![]() EditSynopsis Seishuu Handa is considered a prodigy in the calligraphy world. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this ground-breaking work, seemingly happy wife, Amy Dunne, disappears with all signs pointing to her husband, Nick. It is impossible to write a piece about thrillers with missing women without giving a well-deserved nod to the novel that essentially re-created the psychological thriller genre.
