Moby: A Whale Shifter Romance

by Jessa Kane

Darla is desperate to escape her overbearing parents on their Hawaiian vacation. Who could have expected a whale to swim up beside her on a boating excursion and become her closest confidant? There is something about the whale's soulful gray eyes and powerful demeanor that she finds intriguing, but alas, she must return to shore with the rest of the humans. Later that evening, however, when a seven-foot-tall man with an odd dialect approaches Darla on the beach, there is something strangely familiar about him...

Moby never intended to utilize his power to shift from a whale to a human. Until he met Darla, that is. The little human with the melodic voice and a body that grips him with sensual urges. Urges he has now come to land to fulfill—and fulfill them he will. But when Moby is harpooned by love, he must confess his true identity to Darla...and even worse, that his time on land is limited. Unless Moby and Darla can together break a decade-old curse...and keep him human forever.

Whale shifter romance? I mean, who'd a thunk it?! Of course, the queen, Jessa Kane, did 😂

Lol! I always say I love how Jessa's mind works. Never a dull moment with this one.
Moby was fucking WILD even for her, but hey, it worked, and I had the best time reading it 🤣 Just dive right in 😉🐳

[Jen ♥]

Didn't know what I just read 😂 but wowza, the smut was 🥵🥵🥵.

Oh well, it's JK. I could do without the daddy stuff, though, but to each their own. 🤷‍♀️

5⭐️ for the vibes! This book was hilarious.

Sexy dirty talking whale shifter who’s 7 feet tall and she calls him daddy and breaks his curse from the sea witch. Jessa Kane, the mind you have 🤣🤣

Safe of course and with a HEA

OMG Jessa Kane does what Jessa Kane does best – makes me laugh while reading kinky stuff. Crossing species lines is definitely something new for her… and I loved it!

He's a miracle. A big, beautiful miracle who claims me in front of everyone. Women all over the world search decades for a man who’ll make that kind of commitment. If anything, my boyfriend is over-committed to me.

Darla (18, virgin, human) can’t relate to anyone, including her family – so it’s no surprise when they take her on vacation to Hawaii, aka the scene of her jet ski accident a few years ago.

On top of that, he is gorgeous. Not in a classically handsome kind of way. In an ancient, murderous barbarian kind of way.

Moby (really fucking old, whale) is just cruising through the ocean when he finds himself drawn to a human girl. He obviously wants to mate with her, and it just so happens a curse by a sea witch will help him out with that.

“Perhaps you need a Daddy for some things. Like keeping away unworthy boys and making sure this little mouth gets kissed right.”

Adorable and hilarious stuff happens and then – Leaping lionfish – we have ourselves an HEA!!!

I laughed so much during this. You know by now that JK is completely OTT in everything she does and if you’re not here for it, go swim in someone else’s ocean!

I loved every second of this cute little smut fest! Damn, I’m still laughing!

Lmao


you know what?! Hell yes! 😂😂😂😂 because wtf did I just read 🤣. My fault for owning a kindle ms JK ma'am 😂😂😂

This made absolutely no sense but was hot AF, because a whale shifter who doesn't know the name of the human body parts but sure knows how to fuck? you know what?! hell yes 🤷🏾‍♀️😌 and imma 5 star this bitch too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


* I actually wasn't a fan of that ending I wanted him to stay a whale shifter and for the kids to be part shifter too 😔

4 stars

Jessa Kane + a whale shifter who is Daddy = I AM CACKLING 🤣🐳

[*CJ* · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Moby” is the story of Darla and Moby.

Very sexy whale shifter romance with a giant hero with big oranges, a petite scarred heroine, a Cinderella-esque curse, loads of sex and dirty talk, minimal angst and a well bred hea.

Enjoyed it!

Safe
4/5

“What did I do to deserve you?” I ask, laboring to breathe. “Everything,” she whispers back, kissing my mouth tenderly. “You do everything for me because you love me. And everything you do makes me love you more.”

Una humana y un hombre ballena???? Que acabo de leer y porque me gustó?

3.5 ⭐️
An extra OTT (whale shifter! lol) instalove from Jessa Kane. If you take out the whale shifter it's a classic JK book so I enjoyed it just like I always do.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Someone splash me for I have passed from the land of the living because our queen Jessa Kane has ejected me out of the blue whale's blow hole and I will never be the same again.

The whale shifter novella is delightfully funny, hilariously unhinged and I whaleheartedly enjoyed it.

Also blue whales males will mate with multiple females and the fact our whale-hero ONLY wants our heroine goes against his very nature. You can't get more romantic than that.

Moby is available now on KU, it's a whale shifter turned daddy fantastical 88 page novella and I think everyone should experience it at least once.

It’s smut. Straight up as you can tell by the title. I’m not sure how to rate this. I mean I’m never 100% fair with my “reviews” which is more like my thoughts on a book so I can remember when I look back. It’s smut and fiction but like how did he manage to fit in her behind for her first time with no lube and over a foot long??? And like they didn’t shower afterward…. Am I not being a good reader for letting real life stuff like hygiene bother me? Lmao

Okay usually Jessa kanes books are something I eat up bc they’re sexy and quick but this one i was just not feeling i’m sorry😭 this book just seemed cornier than all the rest and usually there is a little plot in her books but this one had nothinggggg. 2.5/5⭐️

Never thought I’d be into a whale shifter, but here we are.

When soulmates collide

Hilarious take on The Little Mermaid/Beauty and the Beast.
Moby is a whale in human form, looking to meet his soulmate. His search on land is a thing of joy. I laughed a lot.
A star knocked off for spitting which I can't get my head around.
Such a fun read.

[Blair · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never thought I would see the day I would be reading about a whale shifter but here we are. I love whatever era this is that Jessa is currently in. She continues to knock it out of the park. If you're looking for something quick and dirty...here you go!

[Noel Kjosness · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one is certainly different, but good.

This is the first shifter book I have ever read from JK. The premise was unusual, but the story was hot as hell. I loved the passion and fire between Moby and Darla. Another winner from JK.

[DMATMOOBILforever · Rating 3 out of 5]

finished. ||oh my lord, i don't know what i expected, and i think it takes a lot to make me clutch my figurative pearls given all the shit i've read, but i was 100% clutching my figurative pearls here lol. this got me. 💀 ||

Moby

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Wasn’t sure I would but I’ll take 10 more just like it please! Jessa Kane is smut royalty! Recommend.

[Snow]

DNF @ 9%.

im sorry but i can't 🙈

ive been wanting JK to write a fantasy novella for many years, but this wasn't it for me.

the interaction between the hero in whale form and the heroine was so painful to read 😭

the whale was smirking??? and the heroine noticed things about the whale that were ridiculous.
"he seemed to disagree with me". what?? how would you notice that? he's a whale!!!

and the whale was checking her out, looking at her body, while the heroine was thinking that he must be the most attractive whale ever, because he looks so powerful and smirks 😭😭😭
idk if im ever gonna recover. i have to go lie down.

Buenooo, sin duda fue toda una experiencia

[Lucy Qhuay · Rating 2 out of 5]

For some reason I was in the mood for something completely trashy and ridiculous and that's what I got, complete with a whale shifter with monstrous family jewels. lol

Just when I thought Jessa Kane couldn't get any wilder, she proves me wrong
