Her Halloween Desires

by C.C. Monroe

Our marriage has become a monotonous routine. Work. Kids. Household. And sleepless nights. Wash, rinse, and repeat. But this Halloween season, I wanted to reignite the spark that has been dulled by the real spook—life.

And boy, was this Halloween season truly a spicy thrill. Theo made sure to use all of his tricks to satisfy me with his delicious treats.

What would he do to me this Halloween night? Spook me? Or hunt me down—in all the best ways, of course. I always loved a good haunting.

And they say Christmas is the best season.

a fun, fast paced read about a couple in a bit of a rut that used to have some wild, crazy sex before kids and life happened. for one night, they will push each other to remember the spark they once had and bring back the passion in their marriage.

primal/knife play/masked man - hot damn!

2.5⭐️ This wasn't bad but does heavily reference the full series so it's not one I'd recommend to read as a standalone like I did. Also that ending kinda ruined it for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

70ish page spicy Halloween novella!!! Sign me up.

We are back to revist these two crazy kids, hehe. And this is pure smut with maybe 10% plot!!

Hanna and Theo are wonderful parents! The only thing that bothering them is that they don't have the sex life they used to have. They wanna spice things back up. So Hanna does have a spooky plan, and hopefully, this would shake her hubby up. 😈😈😈

Theo!!!!!!! He's my favorite guy CC wrote. His dressing up and doing these things to his wife was smoking, hott!!! The mouth on that man! I won't say more since it is a novella. I just have to read it.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, sexy times, no virgins

Wow folks, CC Monroe has done it again!

This book is everything I needed in a sweet but mostly spicy conclusion to our favorite CC Monroe couple. 🖤


Hanna and Theo are back at it again in this absolutely sexy and addicting novella.
Watching this couple fight for their marriage was absolutely to die for. A sexy man loving his sexy plus size woman and neither of them ever giving up? Yes please, take all my money!


CC has never disappointed me but this story has my whole entire soul. I loved the writing, the story telling, and most of all that shmexy time! 🥵

Theo still burns for his woman, and Hanna still obsesses over her man.
I wouldn't be mad if CC wrote 100 books about them.


Never stop doing what you do CC. You are such an incredible author and this book was the easiest 5 stars to date!!


If you want a hot quick read this is EXACTLY what you need!!

CC Monroe is on my list. List of enemies I love. But on my list nevertheless. This book. THIS BOOK This book quite literally left me speechless. It was absolutely full of Halloween, love, smut and anxiety. DESPITE HER SAYING TO LEAVE THE PLOT AT THE DOOR, SHE DECIDES TO WRITE ONE OF THE BIGGEST PLOT TWISTS IVE READ!! I felt very happy reading about how Hannah and Theo were finding each other again and respawning their love and how they used to be, AND THEN SHE HITS ME WITH THE DAY DREAM TWIST AND BROKE MH HEART!! I really really hope the things that happened in Hannah’s daydream really do come true because I need their marriage to be fixed and actually love again like they used to.

I was so excited for this novella and didn’t expect CC to EDGE ME THE WAY THAT SHE DID. but it’s fine because overall this book was soooo amazing. I hope CC writes more of Hannah and Theo because now I feel incomplete but more in love.

4.5/5

❗️I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily❗️

Hanna and Theo are stuck in the rut of parenting, and responsibility. They’ve lost the magic between them, and we get to watch them fight for each other.

This has TONS of spice, with a side of plot. I love Hanna, she’s sexy, curvy, and knows what she wants. If you’re looking for a quick, extra spicy Halloween novella, read this!!

Rýchla spicy Halloween jednohubka. Máme tu manželský pár, ktorý už nemá taký sexuálny život, aký mali predtým 🙊🙊 a preto Hanna vymyslí niečo, čo znovu oživí ich staré túžby. Hlavne, aby žiarlil. 🤌🏻 Keďže tu máme posadnutého manžela🔥

Nie je to veľmi DARK. Jak som očakávala. Máme tu síce čosi. Ale bolo to skôr spicy, ale dosť dobre sa to čítalo. Rýchla oddychovka, keď chcete trochu smut a Halloween vibes 🎃🔪

[Georgina Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is all smut and barely plot with an ending that made me say “wtf” and laugh out loud. I definitely didn’t see it coming. 10/10 recommend

[Connie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Did I devour this as soon as I received it? Yes, yes I did. Theo and Hannah are my ALL time favorite book couple.

Hannah is amazing! I love her to pieces. I see so much of my self in her. I thinks one of the reasons I love her and Theos story so much. She's a really wonderful character and someone you can relate to. Hannah wants to revamp her and Theos intimate. She's so strong and courageous and I envy her.

Theo has changed and grown so much. He's an amzing dad and good husband. He feels the same way about their intimate life as Hannah does but he blames himself and wants to get back to where they were. He's strong and possessive and totally amazing. He's the definition of the perfect husband.

They both feel like after being married and having kids that the other doesn't desire the other anymore, because of the changes to their lives. But that's far from the truth. Holy cow this book was hot hot hot hot... if you are looking for something short and SUPER spicy pick this one. 🥵🥵🥵 I have missed these 2 so much and seeing them makes me so happy. Hannah plans something to "save their marriage" and boy oh boy does she plan. I loved this novella do much. These 2 have a choke hold on my heart forever. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to re-read the Her Shadows His Secrets again for probably the 15th time cause I need nore of Hannah and Theo.

The epitome of Halloween smut!!

Her Halloween Desires is Halloween spice at its finest! The dedication of this spicy little number even says to leave the plot at the door and to expect pure smut and even though I expected it, I had no CLUE how HOT it was going to be!! This novella is centered on married couple, Theo & Hanna from Her Shadows, His Secrets. They seem to be stuck in the monotony of parenting life, and have lost their fire. But when Theo’s sister tells Hanna about a special Halloween event that piques her interest, things are about to change.. it just doesn’t happen in the way she expected.

This novella!!! OH MY GOSH!! A HUGE turn on!!! Got me turning up the AC in here! Hanna, beautifully curvy and knows what she’s after, and Theo.. sexy.. built.. and dare I mention…masked!!! They were so incredible together!! I love how he embraces every part of her and gives her exactly what she needs and I love how Hanna knows she’s got the power to make Theo do whatever she wants!! The descriptive language, the filth, was PHENOMENAL!! Not to mention.. THE ENDING!!! **screaming** 5 spooky stars!!!

Dear CC, I need to read the origin story of Theo and his Puppet bc I almost fell out my chair reading some of these scenes. This man didn’t play about his wife! Also, the ending!!! Ma’am we need to talk. 👻

I liked this book not just because it was spicy and bc I think dominant men are hot, but bc CC showed a realistic look at what couples go through once kids come into the mix as individuals and as a couple. Things change and I wish more people were honest about that.

Thank you sending me the ARC for your upcoming release CC. More importantly thank you for bonding with me at SLC and for our chats. Never forget that you have a gift and that you know what you are doing as a writer.🫶🏾

CC Monroe knew what she was doing with this book. This Halloween novella was so smutty and spicy with a little touch of plot 😂. This book made me so excited for Halloween and also made me nervous, anticipating what will come next for the Hanna and Theo we all love. Because as we all know this CANNOT be the end of their story. Hanna and Theo are forever flames 🔥. In my opinion CC gave us exactly what we wanted for a spicy Halloween novella and MORE! And I can’t wait to see what she’s writing next. I love all of the twistedness in her mind that makes her create these pieces of art. Please READ THIS BOOK! 😁

[Kayla Cook · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't know this was a post novella to Her Shadows, His Secrets when I decided to read this. This novella could absolutely be read as a stand alone, but now I'm interested to go back and read the other book to learn more about the characters.

Hannah & Theo are now in their mid-late thirties with three kids and the spark has fizzled out. Hannah decides to surprise Theo by taking him to a kink club on Halloween. This man is crazy possessive and will not allow any man to look at or touch his wife and things get heated.

It was literally 4 stars up until the last freaking page dude. That royally pissed me off. I’m still fuming about it. The story was wonderful even being a novella. I was rooting for them both. The way Theo talks about his wife is every book lovers dream! He was written so perfectly and I’m glad FMC was confident but still vulnerable. Good god if that last page didn’t exist I’d be fine 🤣

As a mom though I can seriously appreciate this take. It’s true what happens after having kids but of course a spark can always be reignited. Just finding a new normal takes some push. I loved that aspect.

[Sarah]

An absolutely amazing Halloween novella. This book was a little bit of everything I needed and any book involving a Scream mask is immediately added to my list.

Her Shadows His Secrets had me completely invested in Theo and Hanna’s relationship and I absolutely needed more and this delivered. It is the perfect Halloween themed story for the two of them and has the most amazing amount of spice. I could not be more happy with it and wish I could read it for the first time again.

Absolutely recommend! Definitely must read!

[Leila · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved reading this. Wondering whats coming next or whats going to happen. I only took one star off because me personally would've liked to know if the issues were resolved or if they made up and found romance again after the "party". But also because I'm into all of the $mut and sexual scenes but I also love the aftercare and the plot but overall I loved the book and I would highly recommend to anyone who loves straight "smut" because thats all this is. It was wonderful.

[Sarah Speigle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love that CC brought back this couple for another round. This story was a quick, spicy read that I would love to read over and over again. Theo is just as possessive as ever over his woman, and Hanna is still a character that I love inside and out. I loved that even though she has come so far as a person, learning to love her body, she still has insecurities and she still wonders if she's enough. Thank you, CC for writing such a relatable character!

[Sarah Boon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Omg this little halloween novella was AMAZING! If i have to give everyone a little tip : read this around the end of october and you will have the most exciting halloween ever!!!

I’m not gonna lie but i would’ve loved the book to be 30/40 pages longer! But, however, if you want to read a book full of dark, smutty romance, this is your book!🤩😍

Btw : the end had me like 🤯🤯🤯

This quick novella really packs a punch. I love how the author outlines the realistic struggles that couples go through when they get in a rut. I loved the dynamic of the characters and their devotion to each other. It really was a great book!!!

Even if it was a long book, I wasn’t still going to put it down😂❤️. Theo was a dream man and Hanna was magnificent. Asides the spicy to die for scenes😭❤️, they had a beautiful marriage and I love C.C Monroe for putting that there.✨
