Compared to Neon Gods, Electric Idol is a rom-com, but in an incredibly hot way. The diversity in Katee Roberts books always blows me away,

as a curvy girl myself I always appreciate a curvy female m/c, and as a pansexual, seeing the represented in this book was incredible.

This was nowhere near the level of kink as the last book (truly a slow burn by the standards of Robert's books--no sex at all until like 140 pages in), but it still is plenty hot. And I'm just a sucker for the relationship in here. Like, Robert packed so many tropes in here (marriage of convenience! beauty and the beast! fake dating! there's technically more than one bed but we need to "practice" touching so there's only one bed! grump x sunshine! A Monster to everyone but her!) and they're all bangers.

An okay read, but especially in comparison with Neon Gods, it really didn't do anything for me. Also a bit repetitive and dragged out.
