Tentacles & Triathlons by Ashley Bennett
5.0
4.5⭐️ A toothachingly sweet and insanely sexy MM monster romance
"Man or monster, who gives a fuck. Love is love.”
WHAT TO EXPECT:
✨ humans and monsters
✨ MMC #1 is a sweet and tender Kraken who loves to paint
✨ MMC #2 is a man who's scared of monsters and feels a bit lost
✨ swim lessons for a triathlon
✨ forced proximity
✨ grumpy x sunshine
✨ friends to lovers
✨ flirty banter
✨ dual pov
✨ locker room sex
✨ sexting / video chat
✨ spicy: pleasure dom, praise, degradation, cockwarming, nipple play, tentacles
Summary:
Reece Rollins decided to sign up for a triathlon, but there are two things holding him back: his fear of monsters and his sub-par swimming skills.
After his sister's wolven mate recommends he use the olympic size swimming pool at Leviathan Fitness, Reece runs into Cyrus, who offers to help him. Cryus is a Kraken - one of the oldest and rarest of monsters. With tentacles instead of legs, he's the perfect person to help Reece train for the swim portion of the triathlon. They may come from different worlds, but they make a perfect pair. Can Reece get over his fear of monsters to see that Cyrus is the one for him?
My Thoughts:
No one is more surprised than I am by how much I LOVED this story. Seriously, I went in with zero expectations and was blown away. From the endearing characters to the spice, this definitely ranks at the top of my monster romance reads!
What I liked:
Daddy Kraken Cryus. I would die for this Kraken. He is the most gentle, sweet, loyal monster in all the land and sea. He is everything! And the fact it took him 600 years to find his mate had me crying for this sweet, sweet soul. I'm so glad Reece didn't do anything to hurt his feelings because I wouldn't have put up with that! Cy must be protected at all costs.
