A new series from Lyonne Riley! I have been anticipating this book for a while and even preordered it!
In a world where humans are rare and monsters are plenty, what remains of humanity lives in a place called 'New Eden' where they can live without fear of monster... or marry one! This book focuses on the love story between human Celeste and Theo the minotaur.
The Good
I really loved this story! I was a cozy love story as we get to see Celeste and Theo break out of their cells and fall for each other. It was incredibly heart-warming and sickeningly sweet. That paired nicely with the great spice that went along with it.
Tropes:
β Cinnamon roll MMC
β Minotaur/Human
β Size Difference
Horn Level: 5/5πΆοΈ

We were given an incredible gift this holiday season which was a free novella from Kimberly Lemming!
Daphne is having the worst christmas ever. After her grandmother dies, her sister takes control over the house that should've been hers and also steals her fiancΓ©. On christmas night, she skips the family dinner and plans to pull a little b&e prank on the happy couple. This leads to her being put on the naughty list and Krampus to appear...
I liked that in typical Lemming fashion, this
book is funny and spicy! I really liked Daphne's character and found the hijinks to be excellent. I love that this Krampus was allowed to be as magical, sexy and ridiculous.
Tropes:
β Holiday Romance
β Monster romance

I love everything Trollkin Lovers and was so excited to read this novella!!
The Good
I liked this addition to the trollkin lovers world! This takes place when the war is still raging and humans and trolls are back at war.

I keep reading Saxon James books because they are like comfort food to me at this point...
The Good
Felix and Marshall were both interesting characters. I feel like the amount of miscommunication happening in this book could only happen when you have two characters who are fundamentally so different. But their connection was really good and their individual personalities were done well. I understood why they were misunderstanding each other so much.
The Bad
The amount of misunderstandings were driving me insane. It was so non-stop it got annoying towards the end.
Tropes:
β Miscommunication
β Friends to lovers
β MM
