Title: Voices In The Dark (Monsters of Ashwood Book 1)

Author: Ariel Dawn

Release Date: October 18th 2022

Genre: Monster Romance, Fantasy

The voices are calling…

Jenna Hellsing isn’t afraid of the dark…in fact, she’s drawn to it.

For the last several years Jenna has been trying to quiet her demons, and the sleepy little town of Ashwood, Oregon seems to be the perfect place to hide and start over….but the darkness isn’t ready to let Jenna go.

Degal’s heart is colder than stone. After all, he’s been separated from his mates for more than a century, with only one focus: To protect Ashwood Manor, his home. When a young, fearless woman buys the legendary manor, Degal feels an undeniable bond he can’t ignore.

As Jenna tries to navigate her new life, she finds that some voices are too hard to resist.
Especially the ones you hear in the dark.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the cover. Isn’t it just so pretty?

I did not expect to become so attached, even consumed with this world and story! This story came out of nowhere and stole my heart. Along with its characters. I was already here for the dark vibes. The steamy scenes are scorching and just *chefs kiss* The ending left me wanting more and I’m ecstatic that there is a second book!

If you enjoy monster romance, this book is for you! Just binge read the duology. You’re welcome. I give this 5 stars.

Title: Matched to the Minotaur (Matchmaker Monster Romance Book 1)

Author: Luna Joya

Release Date: March 14th 2023

Genre: Monster Romance, Fantasy

A human, a minotaur, and the contract that binds them.

The Unsuspecting Woman

My friends surprise me with a haunted house tour to get over the ghost of my last relationship. Bring on the eerie sounds and special effects.

Except magic is real.

So is the labyrinth realm below the haunted house. And the demon who tricked me into a match with a minotaur.

Now, I’m stuck in another dimension until I can find a way out of this supernatural deal.

The Minotaur King

My labyrinth is dying.

For my kingdom to survive, I must convince my fated mate to invoke the most ancient of magics—the carnal kind.

Too bad my mate’s a human who didn’t know monsters existed until she saw me.

Will their match lead to happily ever after? Or will this beauty reject her beast?

With cow shifters, a flying demon kitten, and a dicey love of tabletop games, Matched to the Minotaur is the steamy slow burn start to the Matchmaker Monster Romance series. The books promise a happily ever after for each of the four friends who walk into a haunted house, not knowing that monsters are real. Or that they’ve been matched to the monsters inside.

What do you do when one of your favorite authors writes a different kind of romance? Read and devour it of course!

From the amazing world building to the wonderful characters to the steamy scenes, this book was highly enjoyable and unputdownable. These characters quickly captured my heart and I wanted to climb inside the book and join their crusade. Or shenanigans. Both? Yes, both.

Luna Joya’s first dip into the monster romance pool is a huge success and already has me wanting more. If this is a genre you enjoy reading, don’t wait. Check it out today! I give this 5 stars.
