1 - Bidding on the Orc Outcast by Honey Phillips
Posy is brand new to Fairhaven Falls, but she’s determined to find her place in the charming small town—even if it means participating in an unusual bachelor auction. But she certainly doesn’t expect to end up bidding on the mysterious orc who everyone seems to avoid.
Varek has lived in the woods outside Fairhaven Falls for years, convinced he’s unwelcome among its residents. But when his meddling godmother ropes him into the bachelor auction, he reluctantly agrees—if only to get her off his back. Winning a blind date with an adorable little female wasn’t in his plans, nor was the undeniable spark between them.
As Posy and Varek navigate awkward dates, unexpected chemistry, and the secrets that keep Varek in the shadows, can Posy convince him that he’s not as unwanted as he believes? And can Varek show Posy that sometimes the biggest… hearts are found in the most unexpected places?
Welcome to Fairhaven Falls, where love isn’t just blind—it’s monstrous, magical, and utterly irresistible.
Our Review -
This book was a fantastic read and really well done. It might just be our favorite in the series. Posy is devastated to find out that her husband not only cheated on her but also got his paralegal pregnant. Varek faced the loss of his dad, and then his mom turned to alcohol to cope with her grief. After getting involved with the wrong crowd and being falsely accused of hurting someone, he chose to run away instead of facing the situation. When these two characters meet, they open up to each other and discover what it means to truly love and feel accepted by someone. The town is charming, and the story is wonderfully sweet! Our only downside is that we finished it way too quickly—it was over before we realized it. We highly recommend it!
2 - Untethering Dark by Desirée M. Niccoli
A winter hag in training, Astrid spends her days in the Black Forest sharpening her spell craft and flinging axes at tourists, and her nights leaving offerings to the ancient eldritch monster that guards the woods. She’s one sex ritual away from leaving the last trace of her unwanted humanity behind and stepping into her full power.
It’s the perfect life. Until a group of unruly humans brings that same deadly monster to her doorstep. Now, her only hope for survival is a plate of poisoned cookies.
Gudariks has roamed the Black Forest since it sprouted its first trees, consuming any who violate his beloved land. Lured to the witch’s gate, he is amused at her attempt to poison him with sweets…but spending time with her awakens millennia of repressed desire. Astrid doesn’t shy away from the gentle caress of his claws or his most ravenous attentions.
As witch and monster find long-buried heat in the wintery landscape they call home, signs of a dark, lost magic begin to appear in the forest. When a rising supernatural threat has them questioning not only their ability to protect the forest, but Gudariks’s own immortality, their only solution may be to share their strength and create a union beyond mortal comprehension.
3 - My Blood Is Yours by Chiara Forestieri
The Summoning (sum-mon-ning) A pivotal life event experienced by all daemon males or dominants when they and their soulbound come of age. This Summoning urges them—mind, body, and spirit—to unite. Intense side effects may include, but are not limited to: heightened emotions, uncontrollable arousal, dizziness, dream walking, an increase in fluids, and an insatiable thirst and hunger for their soulbound in a variety of intimate ways that cannot be listed here (please reference the book). Some effects may be painful.
Sariel
Born in Hell, I have waited millennia for my soulbound. Now, after crossing realms to find her, the only things standing in my way are a mad doctor, a dungeon cell, and magic-suppressing shackles. Anyone who enters my cell puts their life in my merciless hands.
That is until Elowen—a delicate human female—is assigned to my care. I would know even by scent alone that she belongs to me. The moment I break free of these manacles, I will rightfully claim her as mine.
Elowen
I’ve dreamed of Sariel for three years. I know him as intimately as I know myself. So when Dr. Forsythe assigns me to care for the daemon, I’m not afraid of the massive, horned, and winged male—I’m exhilarated. Because I know, without a doubt, he is mine.
4 - Romancing the Orc by Krista Luna
After the makeover of the century, I walk onstage in too-high heels… and trip in front of thousands of people! I’m saved from becoming a face-plant meme by Brokk, who catches me in a romantic dip that makes my tummy flutter. Which it so totally shouldn’t.
Because Brokk’s not just the hunky model on my book covers. He also lives 24/7 in an orc costume with tusks and green skin. I might write monster romance and wish I had an orc of my own, but monsters aren’t real! How can I take this guy seriously?
When a creep kidnaps me and demands I solve the mystery of a magical artifact, because of something similar in one of my books, it’s Brokk who rescues me once again.
Turns out he’s not just a gorgeous face and a lickable set of abs. In the jungle, Brokk transforms into the ultimate warrior, vowing to protect me. As we race to beat the bad guys to the prize, heat sizzles between us. When I discover all of Brokk is green, I wonder… What if it’s not a costume? What if the guy I’m falling for can make all my monster loving dreams come true?
5 - Tiger by the Tail by Rhea Fox
Kat
Kat is capable and has her shit together, or so she has everybody believe. When her boss assigns her to a new project—the biggest one yet—she's determined to prove herself.
What she didn't expect was a client who not only needs a new online shop but also a place to stay. Where better than the spare bedroom she meant to rent out for ages?
Kat is there every step of the way, helping Roy back on his feet. But is what blooms between them just rebound sex or something deeper? And will he still want her when the shadow surrounding him has finally lifted?
Roy
The story of Roy Sinclair's life reads like a fairy tale. Half Indian, half Scottish, he was raised by his single mother in a small village on the edge of the Highlands. Not brainy but with plenty of brawn, he started working as a personal coach before founding first one, then another successful company and hustling his way up the ladder in the world of e-commerce.
He's wealthy enough, has a beautiful partner, a new car and a luxurious lifestyle most people can only dream of. What nobody knows is that he's harbouring a dark secret.
When he crosses paths with Kat McGowan, a no-nonsense software architect with a fondness for dogs, his carefully constructed world begins to crack. But cracks are, after all, how the light gets in.
When Kat offers him a way out and her friendship, Roy finds himself at a crossroads in his life. Will he continue living a lie or face the truth and embrace a new beginning? And if he does, will Kat still be there to support him as he rebuilds his life from the ruin he's kept hidden for so long?
6 - Berries and Greed by Lily Mayne
Greid
I may hate everyone, but you can only take being alone for so long. Sooner or later, you get desperate enough to visit a human cult that worships your species as greater beings in the hope of finding a new roommate to fill the lonely void. We’ve all been there… right?
I swear I was only looking for a roommate. Just someone to watch TV and eat dinner with. Nothing… romantic. No way. But when I see all these humans gazing at me with open adoration and blatant lust and other things that make me wildly uncomfortable, I realise what a terrible mistake this is.
Until I spot the one human woman in the group who is definitely not pleased to see me. In fact, she’s scowling at me. She looks really, really annoyed.
I’m kind of into it.
Beryl
I’m not a true follower of The Order of the Greater Beings. I don’t worship the demiurgus—the monstrous species that lives alongside humans. I definitely do not want to become a demiurgus mate.
So when one shows up at the cult’s compound—the first in the entire twenty-five years I’ve been flying under the radar here—I want to make sure he knows that I think he’s a total creep for taking advantage of worryingly adoring humans this way.
Until I realise… I don’t think that’s why he’s here. He’s kind of awkward. And anxious. And wildly out of his depth. And when he offers me the chance to finally escape the cult—to go out into the real world for the first time, to create a life for myself—all for the low, low cost of an easy, platonic friendship… I take it.
Now I’m navigating the outside world, and I’m roommates with a big, awkward demiurgus called Greid who lives in his pyjamas, watches a ridiculous amount of TV and is high most of the time. He’s also the sweetest guy I’ve ever met, and he’s funny and generous and easy to talk to.
But I’ve spent my entire life making sure I didn’t get sucked in to the cult’s fervent worship of the demiurgus—there’s no way I’m going to fall in love with him.
Right?
7 - Hollyhocks by January Rayne
I’m a monster DNA experiment and I crave the desire coursing through his veins.
The DNA experiments killed me.
I was sent to a place called Purgatory.
It was full of creatures of all types and that’s where I learned to embrace all of mine.
Until I had the opportunity to escape.
Now I’m in a world where I can feed off the desire of anyone I want.
Some are sweet, some are savory, some are bitter with resentment…
Those tend to be my favorite.
Then, I noticed Fitz, a delicious looking man, and not only does he need me, but he needs a neighbor.
And I’m going to make myself right at home.
In his house.
In his bed.
In his dreams.
I’m drawn to him and his desire fills me like no other.
I’m sated.
I’m going to mark him, claim him, and kill anyone who dares to get in my way.
This man is mine to have.
And all my beasts agree.
8 - Damaged Gods K.C. Cross
When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going in debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “Let’s Learn Magic” course so I can fix a two-thousand-year-old problem.
And that monster? Not your ordinary, everyday beast. He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs.
But ya know where he doesn’t have fur? Yeah. There. Which is fine. Except he doesn’t wear pants.
Nothing at Saint Mark’s is exactly what it seems. The entire inside is magic, the hallways upstairs are nothing but parties from the past, and the super-hot guy who lives in the dungeon?
Yeah. Not human.
My name is Pie and all I want is to be a normal girl with an average life.
I refuse to get stuck in this curse. I refuse to learn magic to break it. And there is no way in hell I will fall in love with a monster.
Famous. Last. Words.
9 - A Tangle of Tusks by Sasha Onyx
Fayra, a paper-pusher at the New Orc police precinct, can no longer hide her feelings for Special Ops Tyke.
She tried, though. And failed miserably.
Fay knows she shouldn't be talking to him, shouldn't be seeing him. And she knows she certainly shouldn't be sleeping with him.
Tyke. An orc… the wretch of society.
And yet, how could she not? He's everything her heart longs for, the perfect key to lock out her grief—her most insidious secret.
Nevertheless, her mind is ruthless, its monster of sorrow raging from every crevice.
As she attempts to hide it under a blanket woven with social specism and mental struggles, shadows of war encroach over New Orc.
Despite the violence and secrecy, Fay and the rest of monsterkind continue to live their lives, fending ignorance, mostly in denial of a brutal past.
Unfortunately, one can only delay the inevitable, and the table is soon set with life-changing choices: accept or resist the fate that entangles them.
And so the gamble is on. While navigating through a society rife with prejudice, Fayra and Tyke have no idea about a more dangerous force lurking in the dark—a blood-lusting threat, not only winged but hatched by claws and fangs.
It won't back down from its prey… especially when it is not only cute, loving, and sensitive, but far more than meets the eye.

The sea-ogre demands a bride. It's the perfect opportunity for her to escape.

within every moment of her presence.
But will Orpheus be able to convince Reia to stay before she’s lost to him forever?
14 - Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux

All I know is my one shot at survival is the demon stalking me, and he doesn't just want my body - he wants my soul.

Good thing he has a big fire hose…

Scaly, grumpy, but oh so cuddly...
As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands.

Her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA – the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired to a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.
With everything going on, the last thing Olix needs is a mate, especially a squishy, scaleless, off-worlder with strange ways, and an obsession with farming. He is a Hunter, not a dirt digger. The Seer must have been mistaken when she insisted that, for the sake of the people, he take a mate from the stars. How can such a tiny thing be their salvation? And yet, his Susan’s softness is disturbingly addictive while hiding a surprising resilience.
With his ancestral lands on the line and the future of the clans threatened, could this wisp of a woman turn their fate around?

28 - Stalked by the Kraken by Lillian Lark
The Witch
Celibacy is a bad look for a matchmaker.
Especially a matchmaker who works at the kind of paranormal bathhouse that would have grandmothers clutching their pearls.
A worse look is a matchmaker experiencing a crisis of confidence.
I am that matchmaker.
We need raw magic, desperately.
And now a mysterious man walks into my office, offering me the exact solution I need.
The problem is that he wants to be matched… with me.
Matching doesn’t work for me; I found that out the hard way.

I found her. I hunted her. She’s mine.
29 - The Midnight Arrow by Zoey Draven
“Tell me a secret, little witch.”
Marion enjoys her quiet life of solitude in the shadowy woods of the Black Veil, where even the local villagers don’t dare venture. She sells her healing potions at the village market by day and tends to her otherworldly garden by night, caring for her magical bees and furry familiar, Peek, at their cottage.
Then, one moonlit night, she encounters a devilishly handsome male—with powerful wings, sharp fangs, and high fae-like beauty—shot through with a lethal poisoned arrow.
Under her healer’s oath, she’s bound by magic to try to save the mysterious stranger. But as she nurses him back to health, she begins to suspect that Lorik Ravael isn’t quite what he seems. He knows too much about the Black Veil, rumored to be the entrance to the Below, a realm of dangerous magic and soulless monsters. Yet she’s drawn to him, bewitched by his luminous eyes, seductive grin, and silver tongue of riddles.
But as their forbidden desire ignites, she fears Lorik is hiding darker secrets than she imagined—secrets that could cost her a heart she isn’t willing to give.
30 - Carnage by Sandra R. Neeley
Carnage is a Gargoyle. He's also volatile, dangerous, unpredictable, and lonely. One evening minding his own business at the edge of the sanctuary he calls home, he spies a female. A human female, and she's running headlong into his swamps, with no regard for her own safety. Then he sees the reason; three men, and they're hot on her trail, torches in hand, hell bent on catching her before she can get away.
He watches as they get closer and closer to her, easily following her trail. Carnage makes a snap decision that changes both their lives forever; he drops out of a tree right behind her, slaps one clawed hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming, wraps her in his huge arms and goes right back to the treetops. He shelters her while the men traverse the ground below, unable to determine why her trail disappeared.
Carnage admires this little female - she was brave to run into the swamps alone. There are many creatures lying in wait for just such a meal. But she no longer has to worry about that, because now she's his. He only hopes that she doesn't fear him too much once she gets a good look at his blue-grey skin, his fangs, and his horns. Because regardless of what she thinks, or the rules of his community - he's not giving her up.
