Review for Monsters in Love: Lost in the Labyrinth - Evangeline Priest.
Quickie novella where Bronn(H) saves the abducted Karis (h) from a slave auction held in the Minotaur's Labyrinth. He's protective of Karis whom he recognizes as his mate as soon as her sees her and will do whatever it takes to get her to safety. There is some hot consensual sexual activity between the two while they're on the run - induced heat, marking. This end on an HFN, as the novella is the intro for Mounting Her Minotaur, which will be book 1 of upcoming Obsidian City: Love and Monsters series.

Review for Monsters in Love: Bespelled Brews - Elle Cross.
A hot and steamy reverse harem novella with a witch, Capricorn, and her three Orcs, Declan, Rothgar, and Jalen. There is a lot of sexy action in this short work that has the Orcs hunting the scent of their mate - the three get down to some very intense bed play! But there's a threat to their HFN and the Orcs will have to do what it takes to save Capricorn. This was a lot of story for such a short work and the good news is that it will be the basis for a longer work, One Orcish Night - looking forward to reading more about this foursome!

I had higher hopes for this anthology. I took a while to get to this because its so long but I finally got to it because I had spare time and no internet. Some of the stories were great and I enjoyed them whereas others were boring or made me uncomfortable. Multiple had dubious/uninformed and even non-consent without content warnings or full acknowledgement of the consent issues - in some contexts I don't mind consent issues as long as its made clear that its wrong and the author knows its wrong but that was not the case here. For example, in one book the MMCs film them having sex with the FMC and post it online and there is mention that because she's human she has an issue with that because of different values(? not certain what word was used, maybe culture?) but no one ever agreed that it was wrong because the consent was not informed or because they didn't ask to share it (even if we were less conservative about sex, its still rude in our current culture to post photos/video of someone clothed without their consent so the culture/values do not matter!!). This is just one story which has stuck in my mind, but the last story was also uncomfortable with forced brides basically having sex because they were stuck with nothing else around them in the dark and a second POV looking back at that as history and finding it arousing??? Another one was just full on forced. These stories with consent issues are all 1⭐ (and remember, I don't mind dark romance as long as it is acknowledged that the content has moral issues but there is nothing sexy about unacknowledged non-con) but this has ⭐⭐⭐ because I did really enjoy some others.
This isn't even available anymore so I'm not sure how useful this review even is but I did need to rant about the consent issues

Review for only Finding Her Minotaur by Evangeline Priest
4.5 stars. Karis, the female lead, saved another female from an apparent abusive male and was abducted with her for her trouble. Bronn, the male minotaur lead, was the other female’s last minute call and he and his team are able to track them down and extract them from a flesh trader’s auction. Bronn recognises Karis as his mate but Karis thinks she’s not the right match for a male as important as him…
This short story is dual POV, well written, and ends in a Happy For Now. It’s the first story I’ve read by this author but definitely won’t be the last! I’m looking forward to something longer and more in-depth!
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
