Little Wings of Fate

Rate this book
Creatures of all kinds go to the Barista to find love, including the fanged fallen angel Gabriel.

Gabriel is looking for another mate for his Cam. After all of the terrible things they have been through, he is willing to finally let a human into his life — even though they are definitely not for him, and certainly just for Cam.

The Barista has the perfect person in mind— his tattoo artist, Seth.

Gabe, Cam, and Seth have all walked alone in their lives up until meeting each other. Between curses and broken wings, the three of them find comfort in the arms of desire.

The walls of trust can be built, but will they be strong enough to keep their lives from crumbling when Lucifer returns?

This novella has the following:

Hot MONSTER Scenes
MMM
Fated Mates Love
BDSM
Fanged anatomy
And more ;)
The Creature Cafe Series follows the Barista and who he matchmakes. Each book will have a different monster finding their true love, tons of spicy scenes, and special *ahem* appendages.

4 Stars ⭐️


This series is weird, the premise being a magical barista matchmaker of sorts finds fated mates for his customers who are monsters. There’s an ongoing storyline but each couple has a HEA at the end of their book. These are short too so an overall easy read. However, I haven’t read them all or in order because they are all inclusive meaning they are MM, FF, MFF, MMF etc and I just want the men on monster men action. This one has been on my to be released list on Amazon and while I’ve missed a ton of books the story line was easy to follow and the sex was red hot. 🥵

Since this is fated mates, it all moved really fast but it was believable and this was one of the few MMM I’ve read where everyone felt like an equal. While some of the other books in this series have been all action and not enough couple, this was the opposite and I liked that a lot. The two fallen angels had the crazy anatomy I look for when reading monster romances and the scenes of the three of them together were super hot. This book made me want to go back and read some of the others even though they aren’t solely MM.

The end is approaching very fast 😭😭😭
Another amazing novella by Clio! We have mated fallen angels and a human. Out of all of the novellas, Seth was probably my favorite human! He’s broody, a loner, dark, sensitive and tattooed. He a loner because he has been cursed to never die.

The dynamic between these 3 is everything I love about MMM romances. There is such an even balance of love and affection between all 3 of them. They truly balanced each other.

The spice in this was top tier. Who knew cockpockets could be so fun!

In this novella we get more barista and Lucy drama - it does end on a cliff because the next book is the Baristas!!

The goodies…
Knötting
knife play
blood play
breeding
Dom/Sub
foot play (it’s not weird)
bondage
C0ckpockets
Praise
Degrading
mentions of suicide

I haven't been reading these for the story let's put it that way - then again it could be fantastic and I'm the one missing out!

Here we have two fallen angels and their fated human mate with quite an early bonding via bite. They call their bed their nest <3


NSFW infos:
- The human has been cursed for decades and is completely covered in tattoos (including his cock)
- The two angels are already mated. One of which lost a wing in a previous book.
- One angel with pale grey skin has a slit from which his 12 inch cock emerges and there's teeth at the slit - I didn't understand the purpose of these tbf
- The other angel is dark-skinned and has ridges and a knot
- knotting
- breeding kink but no actually breeding
- smol cock vs. big cock
- felching
- spit play (one instance)
- pressing cock with heel of foot and then having to lick cum of foot
- submissive/dominant/switch

Is it possible for your most anticipated book of the year to be a novella??? Because they way this book has me crawling out of my skin for the last book is unreal! The end of this month can’t come any soon!

After putting aside his hate for humans, falling angel Gab reaches out to his step father, the Barista, to ask him to find a human mate for him and his other mate Cam. The barista is hesitant because with Gab and Cam being falling angels, Gab specifically can kill a human if he touches them but the Barista knows the perfect mate the these two. Seth has been the barista’s tattoo artists for years and is cursed. Will the three of them be able to make it work or will secrets of their parents keep them apart?

These three had me blushing and super giddy like a school girl all over again! Between their instant attraction to one another, Gabs internal battle between right and wrong when it comes to humans, and Cam’s pure heart of gold made this novella one of the best I’ve read so far!! And the father son relationship between the Barista and Gab made my heart melt. I couldn’t take it at times! You could feel all the love the Barista has for his stepson on every page! My little hurt couldn’t take how raw and real these characters were in this book and how they all came together in the end. I can’t wait for the next book!

Little Wings of Fate will have you falling for two fallen angels

*****
Rating: 5 stars
Steam: 2.5 flames
Genre: Monster Romance / MM / Kink
*****
After the events of book 8, Gabe and Cam have had their world turned upside down. Gabe decides that there is something missing between these two fallen angels. A human mate for Cam…so once again the Barista is approached to make a match.

With Lucifer causing issues for the Barista, he hesitates to make another match, but the Barista happens to know the perfect human for these two fallen angels… Seth. Cam is suffering with a recent loss, Gabe is unable to touch anyone, and Seth, the cursed human who cannot die, all three have baggage. These three are in for a ride of a lifetime...

This book is filled with suspense, steam, secrets, curses, premonitions, and some truly swoony scenes that will make your heart skip a beat (the tattoo scene brought tears to my eyes). Little do these three realize, fate has already intertwined their lives. Throw in the Barista’s vengeful ex (Lucifer) bent on destroying everything important to the Barista, and you've got yourself a captivating page-turner of a story.

Now, I am anxiously awaiting the final book… What will happen with the Barista, Trixie, and Lucifer? Will the Barista finally get his match? I absolutely can’t wait!!

***The last chapter of the book ends on a cliffhanger. If you don’t appreciate a good cliffhanger, do not read the last chapter. Everything wraps up nicely for this throuple without reading that last chapter, you can save that last chapter for when the final book comes out.

Another fantastic installment by Clio!

This series has seriously become one of my favorites. This book was a fantastic MMM story that, as we are used to, was spicy freaking hot!

I devoured this book so quickly and I’m sad that I did because there is only 1 book left in this creature cafe series and although it’s my most anticipated one…especially after the cliffhanger in this book, I don’t want to see this series end.

If you’ve come to love this series as much as I have then you’ll definitely love this book as much as the others.

At this stage, it's gonna be a second chance romance endgame menage. Seth was one of my favorite humans in the series. I liked how well he blends with Gabe and Cam. I was curious when Gabe would pop back up, after being taken away by the Barista. The curse was interesting, as was his meeting with Lucifer. Cliffhanger ending for Trixie.

Pairing - Cam, Gabe, Seth

"Being sandwiched between two fallen angels was the closest to heaven I've ever get in my existence."



There aren't enough words to express how much I loved this book. Angels especially fallen angels are some of my favorite creatures and having a book that's dedicated to them. Chef's kiss! There is so much healing and love laced throughout this book. Yes, the steamy times were fun, but for me, the parts where Seth, Gabriel, and Cam were being vulnerable with each other were everything thing. There's a whole scene in this book with Cam getting a tattoo from Seth (Seth is the Barista's tattoo artist), and it freaking broke me. I sobbed so hard because that entire scene was so beautiful, so emotional, and in that one scene alone there was so much healing. And for me, I think it really shows how powerful, how healing, how emotional, getting a tattoo can be for some people. I say that because I literally just got a new tattoo that was very personal, emotional, and healing for myself. So this book was just checking off all the boxes for me. There's also a lot of humorous moments sprinkled out that added a little bit of lightheartedness to the book too. It was everything I had hoped and wanted from this book. Hands down, this is truly my favorite book of the whole series so far!


All thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions are honest and my own.

Gabe and Cam are two mates looking for a third to help heal old and new wounds and to complete their family. The Barista needs to find a human that can’t die due to Gabe’s ability to kill with a touch but of course he already knows someone. Seth, a tattoo artist, was cursed years and years ago, so long ago in fact that he doesn’t remember when or how it happened or who cursed him. He just knows he doesn’t age and after many monsters have tried to kill him, he can’t die. And he knows how lonely he’s been. So when the Barista offers him a chance for not one but two potential mates, he jumps on it.
This was a beautiful addition to the Creature Cafe series. The themes of healing for all three characters made me a little misty eyed here and there. I’m probably also emotional anyways because I know the next book is the final book.

4.5-5⭐️

I hated lying to myself, although I was successful at it more than I cared to admit.


While this story was still formulaic, it was hotter. A bit on the creepy/body horror side, but hot smut.

I liked that Cam had the aspect of eyes popping up. If you've read the biblical description of angels, you know they were meant to be creepy, tall things with eyes in their wings. Then, the fact his wing couldn't heal felt like such a juxtaposition from how in the other books the monsters have basically been immortal/all healing.

And finally ladies and gentlemen, The Barista's book next. Although, Trixie refusing to hide away, just on the basis of this-is-my-home and yet, she has seen everyone when they've gone through Lucy, is stupid bordering on TSTL territory.

Please let me not hate the finalé.

Lucifer has finally shown himself!!! And I’m more than excited for The Barista and his story.

Gabriel is the obsessive, protective, and possessive Dom everyone secretly wants, or not so secretly if your like me.

Next up, the Barista is about to get a wake up call while his woman is alone with Lucifer.

I've had this series on my TBR for a while and decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad that I did. Each novella in the series has a sweet steamy romance between a human and monster. The characters are intertwined and connected which I really enjoyed. I've really felt like I can connect with each couple so far. I've been devouring this series and I feel like the author did an amazing job creating unique captivating stories with engaging characters. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys steamy monster romance.

And we finally get more Lucifer lore!!! The more of these little books I read the more I enjoy that ever present sub plot about the Barista and Lucifer.

This book was definitely stronger on that subplot but it made sense with one of the angels being Lucifer’s son. I really enjoyed the way she handled the ‘a human that can never die’ archetype in this one. It was refreshing to have him still be a positive person despite having an experience that could easily turn someone jaded.

I would have like if they lingered a little more on the specifics of his curse and him processing that but that’s not really what these books are about. The spice was spicing and I had a great time.

I will never stop praising Clio for writing this series. Once again she hit it out of the ball park with this entry into the Creature Cafe. I was expecting the spice to be perfection, which it was, but what I never expected was for this one to be so emotional! I love the three males and their dynamic. Now we have the wait for the final and most anticipated book in this series, and I’m not sure I want to let this series go 😭

Every book in the series just gets better and better! As badly and I want to get to the next book, I truly do not want this cafe series to end.

Daddy Gabe is terrifying in the best ways. The balance of sweetness that is Cam, plus the charming Seth makes this threesome the cutest little bundle.

This story is all about healing, about confronting your demons and experience acceptance through love.

H0t fallen angels

*Trigger warnings are listed.
H0ly h0tness. Gabriel is one cranky, h0t fallen angel. Cam is his mate and their third is Seth. The Barista has made another perfect match. This time Lucifer is back and all h€ll is going to break loose. This series of novellas is super spicy and addictive. The storyline continues from book one and the characters are amazing.

The end is coming soon and I am not ready for this series to end! The Barista has paired up Gabe, Cam, and Seth and it was just beautiful. You can clearly see how perfect they are for each other. We all know Clio delivers some top tier smut and she definitely didn’t disappoint 😮‍💨 This does end on a small cliffhanger but Gabe, Seth, and Cam get their HEA! I can’t wait for Barista’s story!

I turned to look at Gabe and then froze, fighting off a laugh.
Seth was standing in the kitchen doorway, ass naked, watching the two of us while eating a piece of toast.
He waved his hand, smirking. “Don’t mind me. I was enjoying the show.”

I liked the M/M/M dynamic (which surprises no one I'm sure) and the spice was good =) A little more story progression and we're finally at the Barista's book next!

Clio Evans really says ‘Let’s play how many freaky kinks can I get my readers on’ This one’s Teeth.

Soo naturally I’m a monster teeth enthusiast now… but when they line delicious cockpockets who can blame me!!

Yeh this book is wild and omg so sweet! Cam is a sweet fallen angel baby that you just wanna roll around in his nest with (when he’s not being a dom daddy to darling Seth) Gabe is such a unique character and I’m glad to say I now know and love his anatomy (hidden appendages included 😏) and as always their cheeky little human Seth makes these fallen angels fiercely protective which we love!

Baristas book can’t come sooner!

✨Synopsis: what happens when you mix a human, two fallen angels, and a whole lot of trauma? A lot of really intense sexy times and journey of emotional discovery.

✨Thoughts: we’re getting so close to the end of this ride, and Clio really brought something special with this trio… and no I’m not just talking about the cockpockets. But those are special too. This story was equal parts squishy emotion, hot MMM love, and omg plot development.

I’m gonna be sad to see the Baristas tale come to and end in the next book, but she really set it up to be epic

✨Genre: Paranormal Romance/Monster Erotica
✨Tropes/TWs: MMM, fated mates, monster x human, BDSM/kink, teeth. Lots of teeth.
