This was the perfect balance of sweet, cozy, spicy, and fun. What an amazing monster romance! Ilian is a monster who has gone viral due to his amazing tattooing. His next client is the winner of a contest and they get a free tattoo from him. The moment he smells her though, he knows that he is hooked. When Ilian accidentally imprints on the woman he knows that things will never be the same. Zhuliya is stoked that she won the contest and gets to meet and be tattooed by Ilian. She's been obsessed with his art for months but she's also been masterbating to fantasies with him too. When she has an orgasmic experience during her tattoo she is not sure what to make of it. When Ilian shows up at her hotel room she is not prepared to hear what he has to say. The two head out on a journey to fix the mistake but along the way they both start to question if it really is a mistake. I really loved this story and this world. Ilian is such a cinnamon roll sweetie but he also struggles internally. He has had to tamp down his monstrous instincts in order to live in society with humans. I loved how adventurous Ilian is and that he is down to try anything especially if it interests his mate. Zhuliya is a lover of art and tattoos. She has a sweet personality but she is also very guarded. I think a lot of people will connect with her and her struggles. Ilian and Zhuliya made me want to scream at them to just tell each other how they felt. Eventually things became clear and they find their happiness. I would definitely recommend this book for someone looking for a quick monster romance that is sweet, adventurous, has really cool lore, incredibly hot and creative spice, and characters that are endearing as well as relatable.

Inked by the Ithaqua is the 3rd book I've read by Wendi, and it didn't fail to deliver another great story.
Here we meet Ilian, who mated Zhuliya without her consent, and off they go on an adventure to find the Ithaqua goddess in an attempt to undo their mating. These characters are well developed, and I loved how much they cared for each other.
This book had me captivated from the very first chapter, and I couldn't put it down. A perfect blend of heat and plot with all the feels packed into this short read.

Another fantastic book by Wendi, I've always loved the monstrous meet cutest. They're all such sweet palate cleansers, with low intensity stresses that are fixed pretty quick, and plenty of spice throughout.

Well, add this to the bucket list of monster romance tropes I didn't know I needed. Ilian and Zhuliya were top-notch in my book. They own up to their issues and strive to make things right. Along the way, they find the answers they were looking for, but it takes courage and honesty to admit the truth. And can we talk about the chemistry between these two? The amount of primal scenes was *chef's kiss*. And Ilians's methods on summoning a seggs god?
Read this book as a beta reader - let’s just say that I was not ready for Ilian … or for Zhuliya for that matter. I love how Wendi always gives you exactly what you expect from her but with a twist or a surprise so that you’re still excited and intrigued. I also appreciated seeing how different countries handled the whole “monster” thing seeing as the other books are all US based.
