But will that be enough to thwart an interfering mother who always knows best? Hector just wants a quiet life where he gets to decide whom he’ll mate with.

And when Morty's enthusiasm reaches an all-time high, things go a little awry. Okay, maybe a little is an understatement. Can the two mates survive Morty’s clumsiness and Hector’s mother? We’re about to find out. Perilous Cuties is book 1 in the Bucket List Buddies Series, where our buddies are about to discover fun and friendship—and a whole lot more. less
