Wow — I actually went hunting for this because I’ve had 'PAWS OFF MY HEART' on my wishlist for ages. I checked the usual spots: the publisher’s site, Goodreads, and the major retailers, and there isn’t a universally announced paperback date listed there right now. What I found instead were release windows and edition notes: sometimes indie or romance-leaning publishers stagger formats, releasing ebook/hardcover first and following up with a trade paperback several months later.
If you want the quickest path to a confirmed date, I’d follow the publisher’s newsletter and the author’s social feed; they usually post exact paperback dates and preorder links. You can also watch the book’s ISBN entry on sites like WorldCat and LibraryThing — when a paperback is registered it shows up there quickly. In my experience, paperbacks for cozy/romcom-type books often land 6–12 months after the initial release, though exceptions pop up all the time.
All that said, I’m still fingers-crossed excited; the story vibes feel perfect for a cozy shelf, and I’ll be snagging the paperback the minute it’s available to dog-ear my favorite scenes.
