sweet monster romance, fantasy

Albeit super sweet, hot, and with interesting world building, it was a tad long.

LOOK! I really enjoyed it but you definitely need to be in the right mood to be reading a monster romance that is slowburn and 500+ pages long. It was completely consuming.

2/5 🌶️

1/5 Spice Rating

I'm.... not sure how I feel...

This book was one of those that the ending would define its quality, and I'm... disappointed... disillusioned... but I also cannot deny that it is well written, fast paced, interesting as hell, quite sexy (in a not quite sm*tty way).

It was brilliant and yet, left me itchy and unsatisfied.

I don't know how else to articulate my thoughts.

I freaking love these characters and it's so so nice to have the extended epilogue and get to hear more about them. Some of us are epilogue people, and some of us skip it. I'm the kind that goes and seeks out the extended epilogues and bonus stories and Chloe doesn't disappoint!

I love a cute extended epilogue/bonus story and this was really cute, with spice, and relationship development. Interesting writing/telling style where it flip/flopped between the time frames but it was great.

I don’t actually know anything about what Sebastian likes, other than pressing me hard against walls and mirrors occasionally.

LOL!!!

It delivered what it promised to deliver. Short, sweet, and filthy ✌🏽

MMF romance novella

🌶 4.5/5

Cosy, steamy, spicy, MMF novella that is going to have you panting. It was a great joy to read and Chloe Maine is quickly becoming a novella favourite. She's a petite girly, who's staying at a mountain cabin, and two strangers turn up - they too have booked the cabin! Turns out they've been aware of her outside this chance encounter, and the close proximity, a weekend spent in the woods alone with no distractions....calls forth some "distractions".

Don’t crush on the potential murderers.

• v!rgin hero + heroine + daddy
• his boss, her daddy 👀
• daddy/lil, big/lil
• spicy with MM
• novella, quickie read
• grumpy sunshine AND their himbo OMFG
• cabin in the woods, alone for the weekend, anything goes

Naughty read 😉
