fun

This was my first book by this author and I LOVED it! It was sexy, silly and playful, and really easy to read. I’m definitely diving into the rest of the series!

I originally read this story when it was published in the autor's website as a free halloween story in 2021. I love both MCs, Satine's got a great sense of humor and Mahon's a huge teddy bear. It was actually my first monster romance (with a monster other than a shifter/vampire, that is, but since those are usually in human form, I don't really think of them as monsters).

4.5 stars. Satine, the female monster lead, does not have a human form and has been hiding most of her life. When Mahon, the male bear shifter lead, starts making food deliveries for her, she’s intrigued by him and starts making monster sculptures for him to appreciate. When he has scooter engine trouble, they physically meet and Satine is amazed to find he doesn’t find her appearance offputting but actually appears to like her. She’s never had anyone genuinely appreciate her appearance and she doesn’t believe his interest is genuine…

This novella is female lead POV, with male lead epilogue, well written, and a great story set in the author’s existing world. I have only read one other in this world and this novella genuinely stands alone, though it may be enhanced by having read other stories. I appreciated and understood Satine’s suspicion of Mahon’s interest and enjoyed her growing confidence in his affections. I enjoyed Mahon’s laidback and gentle, cinnamon roll approach and his easy willingness to take whatever time Satine needed whilst remaining confident that she was exactly what he wanted. I enjoyed their relationship development and growing physical intimacy. I adored Mahon’s determination to show Satine he actually preferred her natural form, not whatever modifications she could magically make, and their life’s changing bringing them together.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

So cute!
While the rest of the series was dual POV, this one was from the FMCs book and only the epilogue was from the MMCs pov.
