Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta
lighthearted
medium-paced
“I’m in a position to comfortably spoil someone, so when you’re with me, I’m spoiling you. End of story.”
- Morning Glory Milking Farm
Tropes: Paranormal, Monster Romance, Minotaur,
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
CW: Divorce, Food/Wealth Insecurity, Death Mention
I think it’s safe to say that I’m officially a cozy monster romance girly. After reading the Leviathan Fitness series, I wanted to give some other books in the genre a try, and I saw this on a rec list as having similar adorable and soft vibes, so I borrowed it from KU.
Now, you may be wondering how a book about a minotaur milking farm (yes, the spicy kind of milking) could be considered sweet or adorable, and I was wondering the same thing. But Morning Glory Milking Farm was as soft and sweet as it was spicy. For every detailed description of a minotaur milking, there were scenes filled with cute banter and pining. I loved the development of Violet and Rourke’s relationship. Their physical chemistry and connection were instant, but the romantic relationship was definitely a slow burn. I’ve always loved a slow emotional burn with a fast physical burn, but this book took an entirely different approach to that trope, which made for a really interesting read.
The characters were so well developed. I couldn’t help but sympathize with Violet’s financial insecurity and the desperation she felt that propelled her to get the job at the farm. Her growth in getting more confident and taking control of her life was well done. I also thoroughly enjoyed the immersive world-building. The world is full of various monsters with unique stories and cultures, and I can’t wait to read more from this universe.
