4.5

Is there a lot of spice in this book? Absolutely. Luckily for us, it also includes a fascinating world and fantastic plot and cast of characters. If you don’t like high spice books, the plot will likely be lost in the sea of smutty delights BUT the plot is truly interesting and just complex enough to keep you interested but not so complex you’re bogged down in a more complicated book (it’s not a simplistic book, I mean more that some books take more concentration to remember all the details and complicated world building, and I’m not always in the mood for that.)

Now, am I huge Kathryn Moon fan in general? Absolutely. I love her characters, I love the bigger picture she has us thinking about and questioning in every book she writes, no matter how smutty the book is, she manages depth to at least a singular topic, if not more, and I think that takes talent. 

Lola and the Millionaires is my threshold for a 5⭐️, and that’s one of my fav books of all time, in general, so it’s stiff competition so a 4.5 is hella good!

I needed a solid monster romance that would have me giggling and kicking my feet, and this book has been on my radar for so long so I figured I’d finally give it a shot. It definitely didn’t disappoint. I liked the characters, I enjoyed the romance, the spice was spectacular, and I’ll for sure be checking out the other books in this series.

Only reason I'm knocking half a star off is because it took me a long time to get into this book. I don't know how long I would've taken to get through it if I didn't switch between reading on my Kindle and listening to the audiobook.
But really, don't listen to the reviews that say "no plot, just monster dick" because there is a really good plot going on. Mystery, betrayal, mystical intrigue... and the characters are all fun and interesting. To be fair, I'm fairly indifferent towards Esther, but I love all the men, save for Amon. He's on thin ice. Overall, a good time with good smut.

Surprisingly a really cosy read… for a why choose monster erotica! 
I listened on audio & really enjoyed it - the accents were well done & made me imagine an old school London setting.  Over all I loved the fmcs exploration with her sexual side & all the monsters were lovable & consent kings. 
This isn’t my usual read but I enjoyed it
