Ok so I now find snakes hot lol. 

In all seriousness, I love Rose’s monster romances. They’re cozy, spicy, full of heart, and honestly feel like a safe place to visit for a while. I adore them. 

This book follows Iris as she is assigned to work on a project with the Head of the Botanical Magic Department, Adeib. These two bicker initially, but the way he immediately became concerned about her not eating?? PLEASE. Food as a love language is my weakness lol. Also the humor in this was so good, I was cackling!!

“Book boyfriend?” “
“It’s like a fictional crush. I’ve got book girlfriends too.”“You have a boyfriend?” 
“No. Adeib, just shut the fuck up and trust me.” 
“I am going to look it up.”
