Sweetling is a fantastic addition to the Monstrous World Series, blending delicious smut, a cozy atmosphere, and humor from quirky animal companions. Loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast, it delivers a fresh, heartwarming twist on the beloved tale. The chemistry between the leads is sizzling, with a perfect balance of tenderness and spice. However, this is not a standalone read—spoilers for the first two books appear early on, making it essential to start from the beginning of the series. Fans of the Monstrous World will adore the continued character development and world-building, while enjoying the cozy, romantic escape this book provides.
