These romances are, at their core, about freedom and throwing off the expectations imposed by society and by the characters themselves. As is usually the case with an erotica collection, not all of the stories are going to flip your switch, but almost all of them worked for me on at least an emotional level. I have no idea who wrote it and the stories are varied in tone and plot, but they're each compelling.

They're all historical and contain a mix of pairings and groupings as well as characters from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Recommended all around.Īphrodite in Bloom is a collection of short erotic stories, each with something of an HEA. Roarke and Violet are adorable together and there's a bit of found family/friendship that I loved. MGMF broke a reading slump when I read this weeks ago (before TikTok got there :P) but I may have to reread it to fix my new slump. The negotiation of their slow-burn relationship and the odd power imbalance is perfect and by the time they finally get together physically, readers will be squirming on the edge of their seats. The actual romance-complete with HEA-is between worn-down Millennial Violet and Roarke, a buttoned-up minotaur who is unexpectedly drawn to his human clinician. Somehow it's filthy and clinical at the same time and I still don't know how to define all of those scenes. For most of the minotaurs, it's very transactional but most humans consider it to be sex work. If you're wondering how one milks a bull, think on it for a second. Violet takes a job as a collection tech at a facility that 'milks' minotaurs for a pharmaceutical they sell to humans. NacostaĬan a monster-f*cker book be sweet? The answer is apparently 'yes.' Morning Glory Milking Farm pairs a broke millennial with a businessman minotaur and it's delightful. This post contains affiliate links from which we may receive a 2-4% commission. Here are my thoughts on a few high-heat books I've read recently.

And then I danced around my barren field of f*cks and wrote this post. I've read a pretty random assortment of books recently that made me wonder 'how much does my mother really need to know about my reading preferences?' Eventually, I decided that 1) my family's pretty open about things and 2) people don't have to read my blog if they don't want to know things.
