The Anubis's Massage

Bathhouse Beasts #2

by Blake R. Wolfe

A man on the edge. A bathhouse full of monsters. One sensual touch that changes everything…

Chris thought he had it all figured out—work hard, act tough, don’t ask questions. But when a breakup and months of frustration leave him restless and aching, a mysterious listing for a downtown bathhouse catches his eye. No phones. No rules. No limits.

Inside, he finds more than just release. He finds creatures. Beasts. Monsters with powerful bodies, dark eyes, and promises of pleasure whispered in the steam. And when an Anubis named Khemet lays hands on him—offering a massage that starts with tension relief and ends in complete surrender—Chris’s world cracks open.

The heat between them is undeniable. Khemet’s hands are magic, his voice hypnotic, and his touch awakens parts of Chris he’s never dared explore. What begins as curiosity spirals into obsession—oil-slicked muscles, whispered confessions, slow touches that build to something primal and unstoppable.

Sensual, raw, and emotionally charged, Anubis Massage is a gay monster romance about letting go of shame, giving in to pleasure, and discovering the kind of love that doesn’t just touch the body—but claims the soul.

Short, but oh so good! And full of spice! Chris, a hot mechanic, is going to discover himself and his deepest desires in the Bathhouse - where he meets Khemet. He is an Anubis. Guys, go read it. Khemet is one of the hottest Beasts I've ever came across. I wish there was more. I can't wait for the next one!

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.

This is tagged as romance, but it is not. It is a simple steamy meet-up. So if you are up for a short, steamy quickie, this is the right choice for you.

On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Sweet Spicy Story

This one was sweet and a bit romantic. Times of acceptance, discovery and moving forward. The ending was more clean and not a cliffhanger compared to the first one.

Naughty M/M shenanigans in a Paranormal Universe.

Have never read a book with Anubis as the “creature” and now I need so many more books with him in it!

Mystical meets Coming Out

The story was great. Had the ‘self realization’ and ‘self discovery’ theme going as well as the subtle hint of love at the end.

molto carino breve, ma fa il suo lavoro ovvero tenerti incollato alle pagine.

[Jimbo · Rating 4 out of 5]

A bit short, but also very interesting that Anubis was a species, not just one Egyptian God. I liked the concept and Chris finding his true self.

[Leigh Gaskill · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very quick, hot, smutty read. In this world shifters are known among humans and some people like to engage with them in a bathhouse tailored for men only. Things get real hot and heavy 🥵

The anubis

Ya terminé el segundo libro y me gustó muchísimo,pero no sé, desde el primer libro sentí que me hubiese gustado que las historias fueran más largas con más contenido de ellos en sus vidas diarias son historias con mucha pasión pero son muy cortas uno siente que las historias siguen en un segundo libro pero no es así como quiera gracias al escritor ojalá siga escribiendo más novelas porque eh leído todos sus libros y son muy buenos
