Monster Games

Trotting with the Tunma: A Monster Games Novella

Rate this book
Being harassed by your rival is nothing new to Rue, but the steps that he's taking are.

Offering her mount and good friend, Tyler, an offer he can't refuse, and signing the contract with Tyler's replacement before she can even pick up the phone, Olivier has left the two-time eventing champion pulling at straws, trying to keep her Monster Games dreams afloat.

With two months to go, barely enough time to train a new mount and her obsessive rival breathing down her neck, Rue does something stupid.

But summoning a shape-shifting demon and binding her soul to him couldn't be that bad… right?

Hjayeuiiooo is haunted by the being who had briefly brushed minds with him when they were both children. Waiting for them to contact him has consumed his every waking moment these days.

He just wants them to gift him his human name, and maybe even calm down the hormonal need he has for them that he refuses to name. When she contacts him and asks him to shift into a horse for her for some human competition, it seemed far too good to be real.

It's not like they're True Mates or anything, right?

It's the Olympics like you've never seen before! These players are monstrous in both appearance AND record-setting! Read these spicy novellas to find out if our players win the gold in the games...and in the bedroom!

This is an ARC read >/b>

This is a monster romance novella with spice. Make sure you know what that means before reading

This is part of the Monster Game Series and we highly suggest you check out this series. It’s full of cute novellas and sports.

Let me just tell you there are suckers. Yeah, like tentacles have, except this dude doesn’t have tentacles just suckers strategically placed 😏

The story starts off with some backstory. We get the lore of the demons and Rue, which continues to evolve through out the story bringing us to learn about Tunma and Incubuses…Incubi?

Jay is the Tunma and in this story he shifts into a horse. I am not a horse girlie so I can’t remember the breed, but that’s like maybe important to some. It’s like a Frisian or Febeesian breed. It sounds like that.

While he’s a horse we get more lore of the Tunma and we get to see other mythical creatures interact with him.

Rue is the FMC and she’s human, but also maybe not, but it’s not a huge plot point in the story, but it does leave it open for a potential book that expands on who Rue is. I kid of want them to be a demon like a queen demon 🤤

Always, this id also a fated mates story so Jay is into Rue from like the first time he met her. I love fated mates stories. Especially when the dude falls first and says “ mine” *screaming* he does say it and it’s so hot.

Oh my god I told you about the suction cups, okay there are also claspers. It’s giving Duskwalker Bride vibes, which we all love. Like I NEED my own Tunma after reading this book

Okay, sorry the story. Jay pretty much is the knight in shining armor for Rue. She needs a horse for the Olympics and Theresa villain dude, of course he’s French, that bought-out her previous horse shifter. Which, I don’t know how she’s still friend with that horse-shifter after that, but she is.

Jay helps her with gold and defeat her enemy. It’s a beautiful story with hot spice.

You gotta go give it a read

the absolute imagination of this author!! I never would've thought in adding elemental demons, a mate bond and horse shifters in one book, very unique indeed.

The FMC, Rue, is a strong character without been overboard annoying, actually she is not annoying at all, I really like her and her relationship with Derek is sweet. Jay is a sweetheart, the best alpha-roll you can get.

I want a story about Jay's dad and Derek now, I'm intrigued and curious! But that's just because I'ma sucker for MM lol

I rec this if you like your stories fast paced, medium angst, spicy and with developed characters!

Lemme sum it up because this was enthralling. FMC participates in an event where they ride horse shifters. The shifters have to train just like any other athlete. A competitor stacks the deck against FMC to ensure she doesn't have a mount to ride for the upcoming competition. So she does what any logical girlie does and turns to a demon who just happens to be her true mate. I thought It flowed very well. Had good balance of plot and smut. There was also enough backstory to make everything make sense as well. Oh and there a hint to a MM relationship but it was only a sentence that provide implications. Blink and it's gone. Lastly I did receive this an arc however I'm leaving my review willingly and voluntarily.

Shifters, Demons, and Unique Peen! Sold! I gobbled this one up so fast, its a quick read that I really enjoyed. It was balanced well with enough plot and backstory to flow nicely. The steamy bits were good and I am a sucker for suckers. The FMC is strong, sassy and I liked her attitude. The MMC was a yummy Demon with all the right bits and a consent king in my opinion. If your a fan of monster romance, fated mates, unique peens and spice then give this novella a go.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this as an ARC and dive into the shared world you all created.

ARC REVIEW 🐴
TROTTING WITH THE TUNMA
By Ivory Wren ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Monster Games Novella

Our human FMC Rue gets screwed out of her mount for the games. Willing to do whatever it takes for the gold she decides to make a deal with a demon.

Fate saddles Rue with Jay, a Tunma who is DOWN BAD for her. HE HAS AN INFLATING PEEN W/ SUCKERS IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES 🫠

I know there’s a banging plot but I can’t stop thinking about that peen 😂
