Gnoll Kidding: A Cozy Lesbian Monster Romance

by Jacki Sensal

Sure, I might be a little thirsty for the bartender. But love? Don't joke around.

Our adventuring party has spent the past few days in a quiet mountainside town enjoying the view. And by view, I’m talking about the tavern’s gorgeous gnoll bartender. Czeha is tall, dark-furred, and has a sharp-toothed smile that can stop a heart from across the bar. The town is gearing up for its yearly fertility festival and the atmosphere is right to make a move—but is one hot night all I want, or is my roaming adventurer’s heart thirsty for something more?

Gnoll Kidding is an immersive first-person POV lesbian romance novella where you are the story’s female protagonist. Featuring fantastical monster appendages and a sapphic/FF romance in a D&D-style fantasy setting, this story is for your explicit enjoyment.

Sweet and Sexy Lesbian Monster Romance!

Wow that was so sweet and emotional and of course sexy. Much more depth to the story than I was expecting, pleasantly surprised since this is a short quick read. The build up was perfect and the hfn leaves you to imagine more and I wouldn’t mind reading more of these two. I’m on my way to check out more from this author now!!

I love the sapphic genre with a human/monster trope and a touch of erotica. However, when these three elements come together, it often disappoints me.

But this book? I can’t even begin to express how much I adore it (and a certain adorable Gnoll in particular). It’s sweet(and steamy), easy to read, and the pacing is perfect. My only wish is for a short epilogue, but overall, I’m satisfied!

I’m looking forward to whatever Jackie Sensal creates next!

4 stars. I wanted more! This was really good. Cozy and sexy and very light. Czeha and Leyla are both really likable characters and their chemistry was so hot! I really want to see where their relationship goes after this because they were so cute together. I’ve liked everything that I’ve read by this author and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

I got this book on sale, it looked like a quick read and it possibly contained appendages which is a plus. I actually thoroughly enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would. Jacki Sensal obviously really knows what she's doing. The writing is immersive and the story flows really well. I felt everything the main character was feeling while reading. Can't wait to read more of this writer!

This was a super cute, super sweet book with spice. It had a gnoll with a G/P in it. It had a HEA.
