I thought I’d try out a monster romance since I know so many people enjoy them but damn, it’s just not for me. Katee Robert knows how to write sexy but I found myself switching between laughing at how silly it was and being grossed out because I’m not into breeding kinks. Maybe I’ll try another in the future I’ll try a different monster romance just to be sure.

Classic Katee Roberts- incredibly sexy and bold with a healthy dose of communication and boundaries. Only this time with a demon dragon. 

Thoroughly entertaining and a quick read.

I thought this was a fun concept, and I liked both Briar and Sol as characters. 

My only issue with this book is that it felt short and I could have seen this being really fun as a longer book with a more developed plot and a higher ratio of plot to spice. 

Overall, very steamy and worth a read.

Minor: Blood and Murder

The book starts with Briar escaping her abusive husband, who is killed as part of her agreement with a demon. Discussion of her ex and her experiences come up throughout the book as she and Sol begin to work through them. There is a lot of talk of pregnancy and getting pregnant as a part of the sexual content, but during the timeframe of this book, Briar has no intention of being pregnant. Finally, this book has a large amount of sexual content. This can get consensually violent involving gentle biting (at least as gentle as a dragon can be) that still leaves puncture marks and some occasional blood. They do stress that everything is healed after.
