Monsters, Hun.
Aliens, Monsters, Myths. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal. Often it’s weird and brilliant and jumps out of the box. Fangs and Claws, Tails and Horns, Tentacles and Shifters. Peens that are out of this world. It’s sexy and none of it is “normal”.
R Lee Smith is the absolute BEST when it comes to Monster Romance. The horror, the smut, the otherworldly, the world-building, the depth of the characters. What Smith accomplishes in each and every novel is astounding. Magical in the best way and my absolute go-to when it comes to a badass story, when reading an R Lee Smith Novel, be ready to immerse in a completely different world with characters that will wrap you up and hold you tight. 5+ Stars EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Top Monster Romance/Horror Recommendation – anything written by the incomparable R. Lee Smith.
It was a random day on Instagram when I discovered Lily Mayne and her Monstrous series. Soul Eater hooked me, like a fish swimming along minding its own business, and then bam – hook, line, and sinker.
M/M romance pairings of a human and a monster, with horror aspects, graphic content, and post-apocalyptic world building except with monsters galore! It is also filled with romance. Delicious, soul-searing romance. I love Lily Mayne’s monsters, I can’t wait to continue reading the series. In the meantime, if you are looking for some monsters to fall in love with, look no further.
“It’s him, it whispered in the back of my cluttered mind. Some old instinct I’d long forgotten.
― Lily Mayne, Soul Eater
See him. See him.
And when I finally did, I knew him instantly. When I saw him, I recognised him straight away. Even if his face wasn’t yet familiar to me.
He was mine.
He was everything.”
Beautiful. Creepy. Macabre. Monstrous. Romantic.
A Soul to Keep is different, wholly unique, and stunningly written. Superbly crafted with characters you can’t help but fall in love with. . .one of my favorite books of 2022.
“Come, little human.” He gestured his hand out to present more of his left arm for her. “Let me melt your heart.”
― Opal Reyne, A Soul to Keep
Surprising, unique, delightful.
Sweet and smutty with great chemistry between the two lead characters and a town overflowing with potential for the following books in the series. Yes, there is milking but honestly, it’s so cozy, the romance is delightfully slow-burn, it’ll melt your bookish heart melt from the sweetness.
“There’s nothing gentlemanly about the way I’m going to fuck you, sweetheart.”
― C.M. Nascosta, Morning Glory Milking Farm
The Tempting Monsters Trilogy is pure smut with a side of plot, don’t expect more than that and you should be a happy little book nerd. Each book follows a new FMC and her harem of men, I believe there is guaranteed sword-crossing in all of them and soooo much monster smut, it made even my jaw drop.
Kathryn Moon is a fantastic storyteller and her books are just so easy to read and be transported into the most unlikely of scenarios.
I couldn’t look away.
“As cozy as my suite was, the bed was a bit cramped with all five of my men around me, even in the charming nest they made with arms and legs and cuddling forms.”
― Kathryn Moon, A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor
“It was inconvenient, I decided, to be attracted to my husband. Unfortunately, I was. Terribly. Every part of my body felt scorched by him. I didn’t know if I’d ever be the same.”
― Zoey Draven, Desire in His Blood
Cora is sacrificed to the monsters to further the future of her people, what she finds in the monster-filled woods will change everything.
I adored this book, it’s dark, moody, spicy, and unique. And just look at that stunning cover.
“You really have a thing for monsters, don’t you, little human? Can’t say I blame you. Monsters do it better.”
― K.A. Knight & Kendra Moreno, Fractured Shadows
“A moment of discomfort is nothing compared to a lifetime of unhappiness. Knowing that it led me to you, I’d make that choice again and again.”
― Ashley Bennett, Muscles & Monsters
All the neon goodness of this cover matches the story so well.
Aliens need brides too, so what is there to do but sign up to be a mail-order bride?
Laurel and Richter are adorably perfect together. This fast-burn, spicy, yet sweet alien romance has it all. It’s one of my favorites of 2024.
