Fake Dating The Dragon is a steamy and sweet monster romance by Lilith Stone. It is the fourth book of Motham City Monsters, and this series is so cute, fun, and spicy! I have been reading this series since the beginning, and I love all of them. Minerva (human) enters into a fake dating contract with Ethan (dragon) because they have little choice. Ethan is trying to buy human land and needs to be with a human to look more favorable. At the same time, Min is about to lose her late father's bookstore and livelihood and needs money.
"She wasn't a princess with her prince. This wasn't a fairy tale with a happy ever after. She was a human woman down on her luck, fake dating a dragon for economic gain."
Lilith Stone writes low-angst monster/human romances that are fun, easy to read, and enthralling enough to not want to put them down. I loved the fake dating contracts and relationships in this book. Lilith wrote Min & Ethan in such a way they dealt with trauma and communication healthily and with respect, and I love that in romance books. Overall, this is a fun, lighthearted book about a billionaire dragon and humans wanting to break through all the human snobbery. I highly recommend picking up any of the books in this series; you will not be disappointed!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This Could Be Us is Kennedy Ryan's second book in the Skyland series. I was excited to get my hands on this book after reading her first book Before I Let Go. This series is so beautiful and heart-wrenching. When Soledad's perfectly planned life goes up in flames, she has to figure out how to rebuild it and support herself and her kids. When she falls for the absolute last person she should, what will she do?
Kennedy Ryan knows how to write prose that makes you feel like a friend living this life with the main characters. I love the friendships, support, and communication in this book and her previous novel. This book has heartbreak, betrayal, loss, and new love. I was hooked on this empowerment that Soledad or FMC exuded throughout the story, even when she was struggling. No book boyfriend can not live up to Judah Cross! His patience and tenderness with Soledad were terrific to have portrayed in this story. Kennedy, I also felt that the representation of autism in the kids and the parenting aspect was not something I had previously read.
Overall, this book was incredible, and I highly recommend picking it up. As always, please read trigger warnings before going into it.

The Billionaire Orc by Lilith Stone is the third book in the Motham City Monsters Series! These books are cute, spicy monster romance books. Motham realtor Shona Dove is making a name and new life for herself after breaking off her engagement with a Vampire. She gets a new client, a billionaire orc named Tor, who is looking to buy a house to help care for his parents! The chemistry between Shona and Tor was instant, and so was the battle of whether they should cross the line of professionalism.
Gotham City Monsters is so much fun. I have read this interconnected stand-alone series from the beginning and loved every book. They are sweet and fluffy paranormal romances where humans fall into the "monster." Lilith Stone creates a whimsical world where humans and monsters are learning to coexist and work together. The writing is both enjoyable and entertaining from cover to cover. I would highly recommend picking up this book!
