The Debt: A Thanksgiving Monster Romance

by Adrian Blue

Food vlogger Cary buys a heritage turkey for her perfect Thanksgiving content, unaware she's stolen from a territorial shifter who claims the finest birds as his own. When the enraged creature crashes through her door demanding payment, the debt is flesh for flesh. Submit willingly, or he'll simply take what he's owed. But as her body betrays her with every touch of his clawed hands and silken feathers, she realizes the real danger isn't what he'll take from her, it's how much she'll crave giving him more.

calling it a romance is a stretch

…so was the encounter 😂

Wtf did I read? I’m positively stuffed with confusion. There was so much sauce! 😂

Took one for the team, and read this for science. Made breakfast interesting at least, might never eat turkey bacon again.

I wasn't sure what to expect with an angry turkey-man taking out his upset on an unsuspecting food vlogger, but I mist admit he'd showed Cary the proper way to stuff things. And by things, I mean her. She learned the intricate ins and outs of stuffing.

Anywho. Cary makes the rookie mistake of buying a turkey from the farmer's market that a monstrous creature has claimed as his. To be fair, she wasn't aware of this claiming in any way, shape, or form. But she did it. And the creature was NOT happy to have his bird in her hands. So he demands payment and the payment is...not necessarily something Cary was willing to pay, but she ended up enjoying herself far more than she thought she would.

And she's considering going back next year to buy the finest turkey again. Just, you know, to relive the experience.

Okay, hot DAMN. If you know me, no tf you don't 🫣
Because that should not have been so 🔥, but it absolutely was and it has nothing to do with the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Keeping this one saved to enjoy again next Thanksgiving 😂

I read this whole thing

Yup. 5 chapters of exactly what you think is going to happen.
If I had a nickel for every were-turkey romance I’ve read I’d have two nickels. That’s a shameful amount of nickels.

Happy Thanksgiving indeed……

Ms. Blue doesn’t disappoint with this tale of the “perfect Thanksgiving’ for a women and her ‘turkey. Excellent writing as usual, great story and plenty of spice!

lowkey kinda….🤪

I’ve honestly liked just about every book from Adrian Blue, but this one…was delectable in a way. You’re so shocked by what you’re reading but it’s oh so good! My only gripe is wanting longer books from the Author!!!!!

I could be that person that makes the 'gobble-gobble' joke...and I will, just not here. Your naughty taboo Thanksgiving read has been served people!

Chaotic, weird and quirky?! 🤔🤔
I feel like just looking at the front cover of the book will give you enough of an idea about this book…

Great way to start off the new year!
Hilarious and smutty. Adore Adrian Blue's books.

Thoughts:

There wasn’t any romance in this one, if any at all. This was just smut.
