3.5 stars!

Lick - Evangeline Priest - 3.5 stars!

Danika is half human/half fae and struggles with agoraphobia. She sells her tears (happy, sad, fearful) for money. Her helper gets her in front of Kirill, a Naga of power and prestige. He wants everything and we don't know the ins and outs of his end game. This was steamy and surprisingly sweet. I liked it despite all the confusion I felt while reading. Lick ends on a happy note with many questions unanswered. Luckily, their story will continue in a future book!

The Gentleman's Girl - Clio Evans - Did Not Read - No Rating

Slither - Atlas Rose - 4.75 stars!

Blair saved a Gorgon child and was tortured and banished as a result. She is no longer welcome in the mortal circle but isn't an immortal either. Stuck in limbo and in pain, she has a HOT encounter with the Gorgon Achar (his description is unique) who has come to claim her. As always with Atlas' short stories, I have no clue what's happening or why but it's hot AF and intriguing. This ends on a cliffhanger but not a brutal one. I hope to see more of Blair and Achar.

Trained by the Incubus - Godiva Glenn - 2.5 stars!

Vinos and Therris are incubi and lure Emma into their world. I wouldn’t classify this as romance but erotica. I prefer a HFN/HEA. But this was steamy if you’re looking for something quick and dirty.

The Sky Below - YD La Mar - 5 stars!!!

Jasleen is a Gypsy and her camp is massacred. Running from the murderers, she finds herself tumbling down a hole into a different world with monsters. Ugoki saves her and wants her as his mate. But saving her came at a price and Jasleen and Ugoki must work together to get through the devouring.

“You have me. I will give you a new family, this I promise. No one will harm you, not anymore. I will kill them all and lay them at your feet, my mate”


This was so sweet and cute. I loved it. LOVED IT. For being so short, it packed a punch. Ugoki was so damn cute but perfectly possessive. Jasleen was a delightful character that I would love to have as a friend. And Ugoki’s tail?! Whew. I mean the heat in here was everything. EVERYTHING. Holy cow. Such a fantastic short and smutty monster story.

Only You - Cassie Alexander - 4 stars!

Ok…I’m going to need more!!!!!

Tamed by the Triceratops - V.T Bonds - 3 stars!

This title😂.

Verral is feral…lol just kidding. But she is a kick ass omega on a mission. She’s Exiled to Planet 696 for transgressions that wounded the pride of the alphas that couldn’t tame her.

Verral is dropped onto a planet with dinosaurs and she is caught by a three horned one whose first purred word to her is “mine.” A human-triceratops hybrid. Anyone want to take a stab at how that looks😂?

Verral goes into heat and this triceratops is claiming a mate. This was smutty smut. Very little character development, dialogue or world building. Complete with a HEA.

The Devil’s Afoot on Mischief Night - Vera Valentine - Did Not Read - No Rating

I prefer no MM in my MFM romance.

A Family Affair - C.M. Nascosta - 3 stars!

Emma attends her step-sister’s wedding and plans to have a hot night with a stranger. Unfortunately that stranger ends up being Ivis, her step-brother who is also a Dragonborn. This was smutty with light daddy kink. I wish there had been more of a man ending/HFN but overall a fun read.

This anthology reunites 9 stories from different authors, filled with monsters, size difference and many, many kinks.
My favorite was Clio’s The Gentleman’s Girl. The story takes place in the Baristaverse, and it’s about another couple that B. brought together. The Gentleman is a mothman who teaches other creatures to pleasure their female human partner, demonstrating everything in his Baby Girl. The story is basically one of those classes, filled with edging and voyeurism.
For those who like their monsters darker, Trained by the Incubus, by Godiva Glenn, follows two demons who kidnap a human, Emma, take her to a dungeon and train her as their sub.
The Devil’s Afoot on Mischief Night, by Vera Valentine, is a short story starring Desi and JD from Carnal Cryptids, and it was lovely to see them and their primal play again.
Lovely anthology!

If you add all the ratings it comes to a 3.25 but I'm feeling it as an overall 3.8 anthology.

I overall loved this and will definitely look into reading the second book in the series.

Lick by Evangeline Priest
Kirill (Naga)+Danica(fae mixed with something else)

4 out of 5 stars because this was hot. And surprising, as generally I am not a fan on Naga stories. I usually see the covers and run but Kirill was just on some choke me, scare me, seduce me shit that was exquisite.

The Gentleman's Girl by Clio Evans
Sir(Mothman)+Baby Girl(Human)

4 out of 5 stars. Again hot. Again, a creature that I am not such a great fan of. But also seductively informative. Again, a book that references Creature Cafe which is both good and bad, in that I'm looking forward to a monster story, from her, that does not refer back to that series but also somehow mirrors the series in monsters being involved.

Slither by Atlas Rose
Achar(Gorgon)+Salvare/Blair(Mortal)

4.5 out of 5 stars. Why the cliffhanger!?!?!!!!!
Why? Soooo gooood. What happens next? Why was Achar there specifically for her? What fuckanini world are they living in? Did the little girl become their future queen? I need to know!!!!

Trained By The Incubus by Godiva Glenn
Vinos,Therris(Incubi)+Emma(Kidnapped LARPer)

1 out of 5 stars. Distinctly not a fan. And to add on that this had apparently again taken place a year/7 years back and she had no memory of the incident. Did not like this. Then at the end there is the re-union, but she doesn't remember it. The whole story was very date-rapey.

The Sky Below by Yd La Mar
Jasleen(Gypsy/Romani)+Ugoki(Dragon?/Dinosaur?)

3.75 out of 5 stars because my head still can't properly conjure up an image of Ugoki. Book was hotter than a potato.

Only You By Cassie Alexander
Struugox(Skarsarak/Shhthtok/Coackroach/Praying Mantis/Insectoid alien)+Droma(Human?)

Another 1 out of 5 stars. Eeew. Just eew. At first she goes and mouths off about being royalty instead of saving herself. Then she plays her sexuality to her advantage. Which was genius and again still eew. I was cringe reading this story. Jesus be a fence!

Soft tongues could hide the sharpest knives.


Then coackroach dude is playing the long game! Droma! Look at this power hungry bitch!!! My gaaaad!!!! I loved her for it. Wasn't a fan of the ending all together but it wasn't a bad ending. Subscribed for the newsletter just to understand what Struugox looked like and now I think I may be a fan of C.A.

So, in the end 3.75 stars. And eagerly looking forward to Bend Her.

Tamed By The Triceratops by V.T. Bonds
Verral(Omega)+A Motherfucking Dinosaur

2.5 Stars. Like I've always said of V.T. Bonds books, I'm just not a fan of re-organize your anatomy, painful, vagina/body destroying sex. Like the main character ends by saying she's looking forward to their next mating, if she survives it. Why?

The Devil's Afoot on Mischief Night by Vera Valentine
Desi(Human/Believer)+JD(A devil version)

2.5 Stars. While the story was cute, it was too short and had too much backstory.


So, overall. Loved this as it was just the right amount of tastes from different authors, all of monster stories and it got me over the horrible 2 week reading slump/fog I was in.

Fantastic Collection.

This anthology had a number of stories from my favourite authors. Though, it was CM Nascosta's that I loved. Short and sexy monster stories by a talented collection of authors. Atlas Rose, Clio Evans, Cassie Alexander and VT Bonds are all familiar authors, the rest are new and worthy of more reading. 😊

Look. Is anyone shocked I was obsessed with the monster anthology that was titled 'Bound by the Monster?' Don't go in looking for HEA plot and romance. All of these were straight up steamy and delicious, some just also carried a little plot too.

Lick - Evangeline Priest
Evangeline Priest is quickly sliding into the "must read anything and everything by" author list. Naga and demi-fae, this was probably one of my favorites from this book and incredibly unique. Definitely hope we get more.

The Gentleman's Girl - Clio Evans
I knew I needed Clio's story. Set in the Baristaverse, we meet The Gentleman, a mothman instructor, and Baby Girl, his partner. These classes aren't your average class, though, and instead center around pleasing your female partner with Baby Girl as the one he demonstrates on. Incredibly hot and steamy, and only intensified my love for mothmen.

Slither - Atlas Rose
Blair is banished to a limbo of sorts for saving a Gorgon child, but Gorgon Achar has come to take her. Incredibly steamy with an interesting plot, there is a cliffhanger that wasn't devastating to throw my kindle but enough to have me wanting more.

Trained by the Incubus - Godiva Glenn
A darker read, we follow two demons who take a human hostage and bring her to be their submissive. There's some time jumps and a memory loss.

The Sky Below - Y.D. La Mar
I always love YD La Mar, and this was no exception. Jasleen falls through the human world into one full of monsters and finds herself saved by Ugoki. Her only problem doesn't lie in that he is her mate, but that they must work together if they want to survive. Sweet yet spicy, I would love to see more of this.

Only You - Cassie Alexander
I know every time I start a book with some weird insect being I'm like "absolutely not, no" but then I read it and was like "I mean maybe." Definitely need a visual because picturing the mantid from WoW wasn't helpful. From horrifying to captivating, Cassie Alexander is now on my radar.

Tamed by the Triceratops - V.T. Bonds
Dinosaurs and size difference. Listen, I don't know what to say to not give this away but if you're into size difference you need this.

The Devil's Afoot on Mischief Night - Vera Valentine
Vera Valentine is always a favorite and to get to adventure back into the world of Carnal Cryptids to see Desi and JD was wonderful. Primal play is always top of my list and I knew she would deliver.

A Family Affair - C.M. Nascosta
CMN's was probably my most anticipated story. Age gape, taboo, human and a dragonborn with multiple... appendages and creative tail use.

Monsters Galore
Lick by Evangeline Priest is unique and steamy, with a naga and a demi-fae finding completeness with each other. I loved how different this short story was from the usual.

The Gentleman’s Girl by Clio Evans is set in the same world as Creature Cafe, where monsters meet their human mates. This short story is a perfect erotic lesson in how a gentleman pleases his lady (wink wink).

Slither by Atlas Rose ends extremely abruptly… and it was getting so good! Here’s to hoping this short story is the start of something new!

Trained by the Incubus by Godiva Glenn is a steamy, dream-like interlude for Emma when she’s seduced by two incubi. Wowee, this is one hot read.

The Sky Below by YD La Mar is a bizarre tale of a girl who falls through a hole into an entirely new world filled with creatures beyond imagining. I loved the different premise of this story.

Only You by Cassie Alexander is both horrifying and heart-wrenching. This is one monster who starts off as the thing of nightmares and against astronomical odds is somehow both redeemed and endearing. I was both stunned and enthralled by this short story.

Tamed by the Triceratops by VT Bonds is completely bizarro, in such a good way! I mean, hybrid dinosaur-humans? Wild!

The Devil’s Afoot on Mischief Night by Vera Valentine is a short story in the East Coast Cryptids series. The Jersey Devil on Halloween - yes please! I’ll be looking this series up for sure.

A Family Affair by C M Nascosta features a couple kinks, with step-siblings, one an older male dragon hybrid the other a young human woman, meeting at a wedding. The initial attraction is mutual, but when they’re trapped in a cabin, attraction morphs to lust. I loved how tongue-in-cheek this story was, riffing on adult movie themes.

Nine great short stories have resulted in so many new must-read authors and a much expanded TBR list for me! A great anthology.

5 stars for A Family Affair by C.M. Nascosta.

A human meets her older dragonborn stepbrother for the first time at a family wedding. Two cocks and a prehensile tail. What a lucky girl.

“When he was finally seated fully within her, Emma thought she might burst at the seams. She had never been so stuffed full. A fat Dragon cock in her ass, a fat Dragon cock in her cunt, and the first pull back and shallow thrust made her see stars.”

I bought this boom largely because I'm a fan of CM Nascosta and her story did NOT disappoint. It's exactly the kind of spicy story that I've come to expect from her and I loved it.

The other stories in the anthology varied for me. A few are pieces from authors' existing universes with varying abilities to stand alone. The Gentleman's Girl, for example does just fine on its own with just hint at the universe it's within. (It's probably my second favorite after CM Nascosta's.) Lick, rather than being a total standalone, reads like a sample of a larger novel. It does well enough as a short story, but there's much unresolved that is hopefully completed in the full novel.

Some stories, like Slither, suffered from just having too much going on. With multiple points of view and no unifying narration to build the world, you have to piece it together on the fly, which is jarring, even for readers like me who typically enjoy that.

Tamed by the Triceratops stood out as lacking consent, even within an anthology which tagged itself as having dark themes. It was clearly trying to do a lot of things, but it was very much not for me.

Overall? I think the anthology is worth picking up for folks who like their monsters more aggressive and/or dominant. Just proceed with caution and don't be afraid to skip a story if it doesn't suit you. The next may be more to your taste.

Oh my my, with every turn of the page and every story that I read I was left with wanting so much more. Each author’s short story brought their own style of writing; which by the way was so sexy, dirty and dark that I literally could not put this book down.

If you want to get lost to monsters that will make your every hot fantasy come true, then this is a must read for you.

Excuse me while I go fan myself!

RATING: 4 / 5 ⭐
GENRE: Monster Erotica, Paranormal Romance
TYPE: Anthology
STORIES: 9 stories (350+ pages)
Will I re-read it? Yes, some of the stories!
This anthology was read on Kindle and hence, number of pages might differ from other versions/readers.

So this anthology is quite short and consists of short, steamy stories (PWP). Sometimes you just want something quick and steamy to read so these kinds of anthologies are perfect for those occasions (and this one especially if you want to read about steamy monsters). It was fun, spicy and I really enjoyed reading these short stories.
A great anthology!

Short review for each story below.

Lick (c. 32 pages) by Evangeline Priest.
Connected to the Obsidian City Universe
Rating: 4 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3.5 / 5 🔥
Danica sells tears and one of her buyers wants to make a deal for more.
Includes: (M/F) Half-Fae x Naga, 2 P’s, Tail-fun, Anxiety/Phobia
Such a good and enjoyable read! Danica is extremely fragile (and my heart hurts for her), especially mentally and in comes Kirill. I wished it was longer so we could see the development of their relationship, so I will definitely read the longer version of this story as soon as it is published.

Only You (c. 58 pages) by Cassie Alexander.
Rating: 3 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3.5 / 5 🔥
Droma is the lone survivor after an attack and does what she can to survive.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Insectoid, Non-con, Breeding, Violence
It was entertaining and I would have rated it a bit higher but the ending let me down a bit.

Slither (c. 35 pages) by Atlas Rose.
Rating: 2.5 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 2 / 5 🔥
Achar is searching for a special human.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Gorgon, Vipers and tentacles
I have noticed that sometimes I have a hard time following the plot in short stories from this author and this was one of them. It felt like it missed a lot of pieces and I would have liked it a lot more if it were longer and more elaborated. It did have an open end but there wasn't any information if this is a part of a series or something like that. So, it felt unfinished.

Trained by the Incubus (c. 51 pages) by Godiva Glenn.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3.5 / 5 🔥
Emma is unexpectedly taken and wakes up at a strange place.
Includes: (F/M/M) Human x Incubi, Dub-con, Kidnapping, Drugging, DVP, Powerdynamic
A very spicy, enjoyable read! I had a little bit of a problem in how the incubi treated her when she had just been taken, but after a while, it got better.

The Sky Below (c. 61 pages) by YD La Mar.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3 / 5 🔥
Jasleen is running for her life and falls through a hole into another world.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Monster/Creature, 2 P’s, Violence/Death, A lil’ bit of primal
A really enjoyable story! A lot of sweet moments in it and also a lot of spice.

The Gentleman’s Girl (c. 26 pages) by Clio Evans.
The Barista in the Creature Cafe Series is mentioned
Rating: 4 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3.5 / 5 🔥
Sir teaches classes on how to pleasure a human woman for monsters with the help of his baby girl.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Mothman, Voyeurism, Toys, etc.
Clio Evans never disappoints in writing steamy stories. Be warned, this one is just pure spice.

Tamed by the Triceratops (c. 28 pages) by V.T. Bonds.
Rating: 3.5 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3 / 5 🔥
Verral gets exiled to a planet with dinosaurs and gets taken by one.
Includes: (M/F) Human Omega x Triceratops Hybrid, Kind of forced mating (non-/dub-con), Size difference
V.T. Bonds do know how to write enjoyable omegaverse stories and I enjoyed this short one. I don’t think I’ve read anything yet with dinosaurs in them so it was a fun approach. But it was mainly just one long spicy scene.

The Devil’s Afoot On Mischief Night (c. 19 pages) by Vera Valentine.
Takes place in the Carnal Cryptids Universe
Rating: 4 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 4 / 5 🔥
Desi and JD find some time for themselves during Mischief Night.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Jersey Devil, A lot of spice, Primal, Knotting and some BDSM-elements
I do think that this short story will be more enjoyable for people who have read the book Carnal Cryptids: East Coast which is the book about this couple and their two other mates. I’ve read it and I enjoyed going back to these characters in this spicy short story!

A Family Affair (c. 34 pages) by C.M. Nascosta.
Rating: 4 / 5 ⭐
Spice: 3.5 / 5 🔥
Emma tries to find a hookup on her step-sisters wedding and find a mysterious dragonborn at the bar.
Includes: (M/F) Human x Dragonborn, Step-siblings, Tail-fun, 2 P’s
C.M. Nascosta never disappoints me whether it is a short story or a full-length book. This was a fun, steamy and enjoyable read!

Lick - 3 stars.
This was an intriguing start, but then I discovered that there is no upcoming book connected. I think the project has been abandoned. There is no news on it, and the page has been deleted. So yeah. Can’t really give it more stars when it’s leading nowhere. Not enough of a story to exist on it’s own.

The Gentleman’s Girl - 2.5 stars.
Look, this was somewhat hot, but left me feeling a little empty. It’s completely erotica, with hardly any chance to feel emotionally attached to these character (who aren’t even given names). That’s totally fine, but not really my thing. I did laugh at a couple of parts.
“So, the clit is the secret?” one of the Orcs asked. “The clit is the secret,” I agreed.

Slither - 3 stars.
Another story that would have gotten more stars if it had been attached to a series or full length book. This had so much going on, that it was honestly a little confusing. But just when I got on board, it ended. Also… placing memories of torture within a present day sex scene wasn’t the best.

Trained by the Incubus - 2.5 stars.
Why is it called trained by the incubus, when there’s two of them, and the book specifically points out that the plural of incubus is incubi? It’s certainly curious. I always have trouble with novellas not offering enough emotional oomph. The last few books have basically been erotica - which is fine - but I am finding myself wanting more. I was hoping this would turn out to be the opening to a longer story. But alas.

The Sky Below - 4 stars.
I don’t really get it, but I loved it. Haha. Weirdly extremely emotional. This anthology is all about the double peen. Not my thing, but I still enjoyed this story. So yeah. What the heck.

Only You - 5 stars.
What the heck? This was amazing. But ummmm… cliffhanger much? I am refusing to believe that he doesn’t make it back to her. It’s just not possible for me to think otherwise. So yeah. Just busy deciding my own ends to stories. Don’t mind me.

Tamed by the Triceratops - 2 stars.
Whose to say why I could be on board with a crocodile man, and not a triceratops, but there you go. I’ve reached my limit. I normally love reading new weird love interests, but I’ve finally found my end point. Dinosaurs are just too silly for me? Also - this legit sounded painful and horrible. Nope, nope! The writing was fine, and I really liked the FMC. It was just my own limits not letting me enjoy this.

The Devil’s Afoot on Mischief Night - 2.5 stars.
This didn’t really do much for me. If I had read their other books it might have worked more for me. It wasn’t bad, it was pretty sweet in parts. I’m also generally not into why choose books. So that probably didn’t help. More than three overwhelms me, and generally leaves me feeling emotionally unconnected to the book. Not always, but that’s just how it usually seems to go.

A Family Affair - 4 stars.
This is probably more three stars, but it honestly does a good job of fitting so much in (pun!!) in such a short amount of time. So… it was nice reading a fun crazy short from Nascosta. That being said. There should have been more of this. I mean… two chapters… haha.

My tears are an aphrodisiac.
Every drop is potent. And so each day, I cry into fae-charmed bottled barely bigger than thimbles. I label the bottles then drop them one by one into rune-lined boxes and send them away to be distilled and refined for each client.
-Evangeline Priest

Lick - Evangeline Priest
5/5 -- Tropes:
Oh I liked this one! Creative and spicy. Though I couldn't seem to find any info on the full length book mentioned at the back (Savor).

The Gentleman's Girl - Clio Evans
4.5/5 -- Tropes:
This was awesome, I loved Sir and Baby Girl! This is exactly the kind of 'lesson' I'd imagine many monsters need when they are suddenly faced with humans!

Slither - Atlas Rose
3.5/5 -- Tropes:
This one reminded me of some kind of Handmaids Tale x Monster crossover and I'm not sad about it, this would be a neat world to read further into.

Trained by the Incubus - Godiva Glenn
3/5 -- Tropes:
It was spicy, but kind of generic, which is too bad - two incubi walk into a medieval faire and you can't tell me you aren't excited about what might happen next!

"Please disrobe, and place yourself on the table, pussy facing the class, Baby Girl."
"Yes, Sir," I said.
-Clio Evans

The Sky Below - YD La Mar
3/5 -- Tropes:
I had a really hard time picturing the MMC's species and appearance, but still enjoyed his possessiveness. This story felt like it had good balance as well, between all that happened in the short amount of pages.

Only You - Cassie Alexander
x/5 -- Tropes:
It would be unfair of me to rate this - if this type of monster is your thing, I bet its a delightful read.

Tamed by the Triceratops -VT Bonds
2/5 -- Tropes:
I struggled with this one, again, if your into dinosaurs I bet its a 5 star! I did appreciate the author's forward - Weird begets weird. If you keep encouraging me, I'll never stop. Gave me a giggle.

The Devil's Afoot on Mischief Night - Vera Valentine
4/5 -- Tropes:
This universe seems really original, I'll have to check out further works from this author!

monsters bite. monster bites.

This collection of tantalizing monster erotica tales captivated me and held my attention from start to finish. My only criticisms are that several end on cliffhangers (this isn’t too bad and keeps the stories bite-sized) and although two stories referenced characters from another story, one was more like an epilogue of a story that had already been told. I didn’t care for that, but it was still a great story and even knowing that the characters end up together I still plan to read the first book and I’m now following the author. I’m glad I don’t have to pick a favorite because I immensely enjoyed them all, especially V.T. Bonds’s story because she never disappoints. I’m excited to have more authors to read and I love whenever these monster anthologies are done because they bring the most creative monsters and interesting stories. Excellent overall and I was so shocked and sad when it was over. Highly recommend!

I love me some monster romance. And Clio Evans is the master. In this story you have a human and creature teaching other creatures how to satisfy their human female partners. They are in a Dom/Sub dynamic and it focuses on overall pleasure and things added in they toy and dynamic aspect. It isn’t just ‘informational’ but also very spicy. My brain went to the teaching as I like to see how authors do ut whether it’s cursory, in-dept, accurate etc. Next story I read in this anthology is a new to me author YD Lamar. I really enjoyed this story. I’m not sure their background but they used a term talking about a group of people that is considered offensive but the way used was accurate to how it is used. Beyond that the story was amazing had a play on Alice in Wonderland that I enjoyed and the spice was chefs kiss

I loved this anthology! I knew a few of these authors, and was happy to experience stories from the ones I didn't. I loved that the mythical creatures in these stories were all different- from aliens to incubi. V.T. Bond's dinosaur hybrid monster was new to me- and so fun! I loved the naga in Evangeline Priest's story. I'm also a huge Clio Evans fan, so I was excited to read her mothman story and was not disappointed! An excellent collection! I definitely recommend picking this one up! 5 stars.

9 fantastic stories by authors that we all know and love there are a couple of stories that are a bit dark but they are all really steamy you could even call a couple of them smutty with monsters who find their mates. I loved these stories I just wish that they were a bit longer but I enjoyed them all, entertaining stories I want more and I definitely recommend this anthology.

Monster Anthology

There are monsters and more monsters in this story. These monsters are good and bad or bad monsters turned good. You have snake shifters, multi-leg insect monsters, Nagas, incubus and many more monsters. Each story is unique in the story line and love connection. I enjoyed the short stories. It makes a quick read. I recommend this book for monster lovers.

Monster Anthology..

I do love an anthology and well this one is right up there for me from authors I’ve read before to exploring new authors I’ve yet to have the joy of exploring with this monster vibe from demons to moth man to dinosaur and others in between …there is some trigger points and each story comes with warnings but was still a great read..

A Family Affair by C.M. Nascosta

This short and spicy little tease has me realizing that I've been doing this whole wedding-attending thing wrong for years!! lol
I'm a lover of taboo, so this whole stepbrother vibe is hot AF! PLUS, you can never go wrong with 2 cocks for the price of one! My only complaint is that it wasn't longer! I wanted more!!

🪐️ RATING: 2⭐ / 5⭐
🪐️ SPICE: 5🌶 / 5🌶

🪐️ Am citit aceasta antologie de 8 povestioare foarte spicy, pentru ca am vazut-o la o booktuberita si am zis ca ii dau si eu o sansa. Dar nu e pentru mine, si aceasta carte a solidificat ideea ca monster romance nu e pentru mine. Le gasesc "infricosatoare'' intr-un fel si nu imi plac. De la mine 2⭐ si un mare NU la genul monster romance.

Why does Cassie keep trying to kill me like this?! That cannot be the ending. We just can't stop there. I need more details. I need to know things were okay in the end. I need MORE!

This was absolutely the palate cleanser I needed while spending the night in the hospital. The perfect amount of distraction and absolute bananas bonkers delight to get me through the rough weekend. :)

A great mix!

This was a great mix of some dark short stories and some sweet ones… with a lot of spice thrown in them all. I hope to see some of these turned into full stories!
