Hated Thane. Even if he finally stops acting like a jerk it wont be enough to redeem him in my eyes. And there’s not really any plot to fall back on to keep me interested.

not my favorite of the two books in the series so far, but i’m still looking forward to the next one. the main characters, catalina and thane, didn’t seem like as good a match as sol and briar from the first book. thane spends the first half ignoring and mistreating her (though unintentionally), but it makes their relationship development seem rushed and unnatural. the sex scenes were good but i would have liked to see their emotional relationship develop alongside their physical one. not a bad book, but i’m sure there are other monster romance/tentacle porn books out there that give the characters a more convincing relationship

This wasn't as good as The Dragon's Bride. I didn't connect with the MCs and the relationship felt so shallow. Thane was a bit of a jerk regardless of how he made it up in the end by just finally being a decent person. Catalina was constantly doubting herself because of her past traumas. I think both of these MCs need therapy. However, there were some funny parts and I liked Catalina's humor.
Overall, I'd give this a 3.5/5. I was entertained but the romance falls flat. It's more erotica-light than it is 'romance.'
"I won’t pretend I’m not more than a little curious about the tentacles—truly, I’ve seen some inspired art in my day, and the possibility of experiencing it in real life is more tantalizing than I expected—but that doesn’t mean I want to fuck a fish. Wait. Krakens are squid, right?"

Im keeping it because it makes me blush at how wishy washy love is in this horny ass novel- possibly the own straight -presenting sex content that seems remotely enticing.

This is my first Katee Roberts book I’ve read, coming across it randomly on KU while looking for a K book to read. I’ve never read a monster smut book before but I loved this one!
I loved Catalina & Thane together once he put in into his head that he cared for her. Although there was a lot that they both needed to work through like Thame’s grief and Cat’s trauma.
