His name is Gil and he has gills 💀

Ms. Schloppykoch brought her A-game to this debut bit of cray-cray.

*spoilers ahead*
So a mad-horny country girl gets rescued from an alligator attack by a 7 or 8 foot tall swamp monster and decides she needs herself some of that, like right now *cue porn music*.
They go to Bangtown and he carries her home and tucks her into bed only to disappear for days. Poor Darla-Jean searches her swamp high and low for him until he finally comes out of hiding . He’s an insecure monster, you see, and thinks she deserves a human. Darla-Jean disagrees and they go to Bangtown again several times, among other things, I mean he’s a swamp monster with gills so he can hold his breath a long time *cue more porn music*.
Anyhoo, a villainous ex-boyfriend causes them trouble and Gil has to reveal himself (literally, he doesn’t wear pants) to the entire town and everyone is super accepting of him and his scaly body and gator tail. They vanquish the villain and live together happily ever after and no one asks where or why this monster exists. It’s utterly and completely ridiculous.

I don’t know how to rate this. It was horny and weird and I’m 99% sure it was meant to be that way. I read it with an odd fascination, like is this really a thing that was written? Yes, and I read the whole freaking thing.

The cover is fantastic, the author’s pen name makes me want to be best friends with her and her bio picture sent me. This was as unserious as it could be but also highly entertaining.
It’s 50 pages of silly sex and absurd swamp-monster camp, but it absolutely was not boring.

“Darla Jean, you say what you mean, and you mean what you say. Otherwise, you’re gonna get tread on like an old carpet.”

SWAMP! MONSTER! SMUT! You heard that right, this was exactly what it sounded like. I loved the Southern-isms, the bayou, the gators, Gil and Darla Jean. It was of course a bit ridiculous, and the cover is gorgeous. Looking forward to the next book.

3.5

My my my... I read this because one of my mutuals read it and I needed to see what the big deal was. This was such a fun read. Also, the author's name is funny. 3 stars solely because I don't want it on my top reads.

[Peter Topside · Rating 3 out of 5]

First off, I just want to say that this author’s pen name had me laughing for several hours yesterday. And I thought I was past it, however, there I am at work, in the middle of addressing a group of police officers ahead of their shift about sleep hygiene, and I just started cracking up again. They had no idea what was going on, but the important thing is that I maintained my professionalism…sort of. Anyway, here we are with an erotic take on a classic horror villain. I know it’s not the actual Creature from the Black Lagoon, but he looked pretty darn close. And this guy’s name is Gil. And he’s just sweet as a peach cobbler. And a demon in the sack…or swamp…wherever. So Gil and Darla Jean, our lead, got down like a clown in Chinatown several times. They bumped uglies, grinded goodies, drowned the slippery walrus, rode the skin bus into tuna town…you get it. Best line, by far, was “Gil ate me like a five-course meal.” The writing was done very well and there was an actual story in here, beyond the sex. Not some groundbreaking romance or any sort of deep thinker, but the attempt was there. And, let’s be honest, the author knew damn well why any of us picked up this book and it wasn’t for a plot. My only minor gripe here was that there was sort of a missing piece about what happened to Dylan after his failed date with Darla. He was there, cleaning a catfish, then suddenly she was off on her own and he was nowhere in sight until later in the story. I went back and reread it, but just felt like a weird gap. Otherwise, this was a pisser of a time and I can’t wait to see more from Ivanna Schloppykoch. There I go, laughing again!

It was kinda cute and kinda silly, what else can you hope to get from that type of story?

[ReneeReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

59 pages of fun. 🤩

I am fully in my unhinged romance era so ignore all of these weird books. They are so bad they are fun.

[April Wheeler · Rating 4 out of 5]

I kinda loved this? I read the whole thing as if Gil was Bill from True Blood and Darla Jean was Sookie. It worked. There was hot spicy times and only one time they said "slimy" and then it got dramatic at the beginning and the end. it was great!

[Aisling · Rating 2 out of 5]

There should have been a threesome with the corpse

[Beth Faz · Rating 4 out of 5]

So I saw this recommended in an insta review & with 59 pages I figured it was worth a shot. I didn’t want to 4 star review this but I fear that if I review it lower then I’m lying to myself.
This was great. Super fun, silly, swamp-monster smüt that I would recommend anyone looking for a quick, fun read.
This story is ridiculous and I love it. I’m not gonna think too deeply about him being half-fish.
Also, 1 star reviews on monster smüt is ridiculous. This book is about a woman f*ckng a half-fish man, I don’t know what you came here expecting, but whatever it is, wasn’t this.

[Hayley Briana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Omg I couldn’t stop laughing 😂

I read the whole thing in one sitting and couldn’t put it down. From the southern way Darla Jean speaks to the spice I was hooked! As a southern gal myself I can confirm it’s all accurate as hell.

If you love monsters and a good laugh, I highly recommend giving this a read.

I can’t wait to read more!

“Gil ate me like I was a five-course meal.”
This was everything I wanted in a swamp creature book and more. Southern idioms, great banter, all the bayou vibes, hung swamp creature. Gil could use those webbed hands on me any day 👏🏼 Darla Jean is such a fun FMC. I loved the plot. The spice was spicy and weird just like I like it. 5 stars easily. I need more of Gil and Darla Jean!

[Molly Hart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good for her.

[Taramisu · Rating 2 out of 5]

Whelp. What did I expect from an author named "Ivanna Schloppykoch"?

This was straight up erotica with a murder at the end. Like, facial tissues splattered all over the wall. Very...weird.

[Dakota Cockaday · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ivanna wastes no time getting to the reason we are all here--monster smut. SBTSC starts off with our FMC Darla Jean on a bad date with a hot country boy who is not picking up what she's putting down at all. After hours of trying to be as obvious with her intentions as possible, Darla heads home, and runs right into our hero, Gil, who saves her from becoming an alligator's diner. Gil is a swamp creature, but he has a heart of gold.

Also, and most fortunately for all of us, Gil has NO PROBLEM (despite being a literal swamp monster) picking up on Darla's advances and they quickly get the smut part of this book started there in the swamp. (Don't think too hard about it, just go with it, trust me). This is a fun, quick, steamy read where the bad guy gets what's coming to him and our FMC and MMC get a sweet happily ever after. Can't wait for Ivanna's next book!

⭐️: 3.5
🌶️: 3/5

I didn’t realize this was a short story 😆 but I think it makes sense for this kind of story hahaha.

Idk what I was expecting but all I know is swamp creatures need love too hahahaha

Short and sweet. The most interesting part was ✨💙

😉 you’ll know what I mean if you read it 😂

[Kyra · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was looking for recommendations after finishing Unhinged for an outlandish read. This 100% did the trick. I giggled at times, I was rather gripped for it being a monster romance, and it was a full completed story even with how short it was. I didn’t feel anything was missing and it was highly entertaining!

[Simonne · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you ever find yourself thinking, 'I want a cute love story where the man lives to please his woman.. but he isn't actually a man, and he is 8 feet tall with gills and a green dck covered in scales' then this is it.

" You may be a monster, but I'd like to do monstrous things to you."

[Liv - Livslibrarylabyrinth]

Filing this one under "I read it so you don't have to".

Gil, a half fish monster, saves Darla Jean from an alligator. So she repays him by sleeping with him (the only logical thing to do).

Is there a plot? Absolutely not
Is the spice worth it? Maybe, if you are into tree frogs in a weird way
Will I be telling everybody about it? You bet

Now please excuse me while I reflect on what decisions I made in life to get me here. But hey, it's on kindle unlimited if you get to this and still choose to read it 😏

[Taylor Cullen · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was a work of art. I mean maybe the kind that a kindergartner drew but art nevertheless.

After a flop of a date with Dylan, Darla Jean is rowing her canoe back home, when she accidentally finds herself in a part of the swamp that Big Bubba, the notoriously nasty gator inhabits. When he knocks into her canoe, sending her into the water, she's sure she's done for - but all of a sudden, she's being rescued by a mysterious saviour, and deposited on the shore.
When she discovers her hero is a half-human, half-reptile swamp creature, named Gil, he expects her to be disgusted by him. However, Darla Jean isn't put off at all, in fact, she finds herself wanting to show him just how grateful she is for being rescued...
What starts as an unforgettable night of passion, morphs into much more, when Darla Jean realizes her swamp man may just be all she's ever wanted and then some. But can a human and a monster ever truly have a future together?
------------------
This was a quick, entertaining read, and even though I know it was super short, I still can't help wanting to know more about Gil's whole history. Looking forward to seeing what's going to come next in the series. 😳

Spicy and Fun!

Novella full of spice and fun ❤️ Great quick afternoon read ;) Gil and Darla Jean are great together. And if you love The Creature From the Black Lagoon, you’ll love this story.

[Becky Swales-Blanchard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a genre I normally read but so many people are talking about this book and it's only 59 pages so...

I giggled the whole way through and also it was surprisingly romantic.

Shocked and delighted to see fan fiction of The Creature who is seductive and kind and Well Endowed®️

Title would be more accurate as "Darla Jean Seduces the Swamp Creature", but it was a fun little romp nonetheless

If you’d ever wondered if creature from the black lagoon needed smut - it really doesn’t BUT I can recommend it as a buddy read - highly enjoyable for that lol
