Yearning For Her by Tiffany Roberts

steigmd's review

DNF’d right after chapter 7 where the MMC forces himself on the FMC (who is still basically a complete stranger to him at this point). His actions were justified by him having “urges” and that he “couldn’t live without her” 🙄

Tiffany Roberts is on my "always read" list for reason!
Willow has just gotten out of a bad relationship, and after her experience with douche of the century, she is ready to take some time for herself. Not one for one casual dalliances of the night, she surprises herself when she agrees to an encounter with a tantalizing man who propositions her. One mind blowing, orgasm filled evening later, she sneaks out before he wakes. Little does she know that he, Kian, is actually an Incubus. And she has just been the most satisfying meal he has ever had, and he is unable to feed on anyone else. There is only one obstacle in his way. Willow isn't interested in dating after her disastrous relationship. And Kian can't tell her who he really is without breaking numerous laws. Kian must successfully court and woo her, or risk starving. It's too bad the only information he knows about humans is how they like to be touched.
My favorite: Plus sized FMC (we really don't get enough diverse body types!), cats,  so many great *spicy* scenes, sizzling chemistry, PHENOMENAL WORLD BUILDING
What I didn't like: It's a standalone so no sequel, and no content warnings
I always love reading any books by Tiffany Roberts because of the oh so delicious spicy scenes, but I end up loving them even more because of the world building and lore we get to see. I loved the references to The Spider's Mate! My only complaints about the book is the fact that were no content/trigger warnings. I would have liked to see at the beginning of the book a little blurb like "check our website for tw! Some difficult topics in this book". It kinda threw me for a loop some of the scenes that were included. (I didn't expect them!) Fair warning there are a few moments involving an evil Incubus and

non consensual mind fuckery and kissing between him and Willow.

 
My one issue aside this book is a great light hearted read, and the cover is my favorite from them so far.
