Intrigued by the possibilities of this world and always love Robert’s brisk writing style, but ultimately, the story between these characters lacked meaningful tension. The spice is intense, maybe a 4/5, and turns out, I’m not into sexy dragons or consensual non-consensual relationships

This was fun for what it is! I enjoyed it, as it was exactly what I was in the mood for. Definitely some TW but it was a fast read. My first monster romance!

This book is about intercourse with a well endowed dragon-man.

It's also about overcoming trauma and abuse, so it's not just monsterf****ing.

But it's mostly about intercourse with a well endowed dragon-man.

Which is fine. The sexscenes are hot and the worldbuilding is decently intriguing.

I was curious! Had to check it out. I'm honestly not sure how to rate this book lol it was just okay to me.

All in all, this was somewhat of a fun time. I loved the consensual nature of the relationship. The dragon was surprisingly really sweet.

This was my first monster romance so perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree, but the plot was lacking for me. I loved the start of the story, I was interested in the world building, but there wasn't much of it. About 50% into the story it became a smut fest - which is fine if you're into that - but there wasn't enough plot to keep my interest. I found myself skimming a lot towards the end.

I was also hoping for a bit more resistance from the FMC. The whole story takes place over 1 month, so it felt very instalove to me. I think if the book was drawn out over a longer time and if there was more push and pull, more build up, I would have liked it a lot more.

By far my biggest problem was the breeding kink. It was just NOT enjoyable for me.

Not sure I would be interested in reading more monster romance after this experience, but I would be willing to give it another shot.
