Monsters in Love (May 2022 - Feb 203)
4⭐️ 2-3🌶️
It feels odd to have this one be in my 2023 reads since I started it back in May 2022 and just hadn’t read the last story. Overall, I liked this collection and it has a lot of authors that have now become instant reads and favorites for me.
MY FAVORITE: 5 ⭐️
Curse of the Cyclops by Clio Evans
“The librarian here had to be kinky as fuck. Who just left a book out like this with their coffee at the front desk of an establishment??”
THE STANDOUTS: 4⭐️
Darkheart by Vivienne Hart
Belfry by Dee J. Holmes
Bespelled Brews by Elle Cross
THE MAJORITY: 3⭐️
Finding her Minotaur by Evangeline Priest
Blooded Labyrinth by S.J. Sanders
Stalking Tamara by Nova Blake
My Veiled Pursuer by Opal Fairchild
The Minoan Bride
THE MEH: 1⭐️

The last two stories, My Veiled Pursuer by Opal Fairchild and The Minoan Bride by C.M. Nascosta were my favorites.

I read My Veiled Pursuer by Opal Fairchild. I love Xakiras. I want my own gentle, caring, deliciously hot mothman.
I would love for Opal to expand this story outside of the anthology. Beautiful monster romance.

It probably says a lot about me that this is my favorite read of the year but I don't even care this was SO GOOD. Can't wait for future anthologies.

I read My Veiled Pursuer by Opal Fairchild and man do I love that mothman. He was gentle and caring but also a very dominating alpha male. Nice and spicy. I would absolutely love to get more of this couple if Opal were to expand!
