I READ THIS ON PATREON AS A SERIEL CHAPTER BOOK AND I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH. I can't wait for my goodie package to ship and I can trophy shelf it because OMG IT'S PERFECT.
*update, I got my goodie package and it's more than perfect. It's the best damn book bundle I've ever received.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👀Tropes: Dual POV Monster romance with friends to lovers, brother's best friend, stuck together, magic, fast spice, size difference, breeding, Daddy Dom/Baby Girl, Mutual Pining
☠️CW: Body shaming (internal), Cursing, Fatphobia (internal), Panic Attacks/High Anxiety, Sexual Content (Oral, Spanking, Praise, Light Degradation, Cumplay)
📚Read Method: Patreon Chapters, Kindle eBook
✨Initial Reaction: I devour all things Emily, so I knew I was going to love this book. I had just finished [book:My Minotaur Husband|202940544] and found my love for minotaur's, so this book was high up on my TBR. Original story is in My Monster Valentine: a limited edition monster romance anthology, then continued on Emily Antoinette's Patreon, then finally, turned into a whole book.
✨Final Reaction: Best Book of 2024. That's it.
No, but really, Ari is so relatable. All the inner monologues, the decision based on past traumas, the believe that she isn't good enough; it's hurts and also feels so normal. The slow growth of self, with the help of Wes, makes me want to better for myself, with the help of my husband.
💖Quotes:
👖 "I pull on a pair of black leggings and frown down at the hole that's opened up in the inner thigh. This happens with all of my leggings-my thighs are too powerful to be contained."
👻🐝 "Godsdammit, now I'm staring at her breasts. Look away from the kitty titties!"
🏋️♀️ FMC: "But I'm too heavy!"
MMC: "You've got to be shitting me, Ari. I'm twice your size. I can deadlift over a thousand pounds. So shut up and let me fuck you."
💘 "I pay attention to things that are important to me."
🦝 "I know I put off more feral raccoon energy than hot bitch energy."
