I absolutely adored this book! I have so many feelings and I've been really bad at writing reviews lately but I absolutely need to share how awesome this book is!

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a MF monster romance that is both sweet and spicy with an adorable and socially anxious 7 foot tall monster submissive and his confident 5 foot tall gentle domme girlfriend.

Greid is maybe one of my favorite MMCs I've ever read. He is sweet and dorky and anxious and deeply lonely at the start. I love that even though his relationship with Beryl pushes him to grow as well, the core of their romance is about finding someone you can be 100% yourself with. He is a introverted jewelry maker whose perfect night is curling up under a dozen blankets, getting high on shade (their version of weed), eating lots of snacks, and rewatching his favorite sitcoms with his definitely platonic new roomate. Beryl's story of cult recovery and learning that it's never too late to leave your comfort zone and become your own person is so wonderfully executed.

To be honest, I have no complaints about this book. Both love interests are amazing! They have a very sweet and domestic romance that unfolds very organically. The book is long but felt well paced. The worldbuilding and monster lore are some of my favorite bits. The smut is top tier and features a sweet submissive monster boy! Also, Beryl is the first character I've ever read with vaginismus / an aversion to penetration and it's so well handled! This is going to be a top competitor for my favorite monsterfucking book of the year and I also read and loved A Bone In His Teeth recently.

Go read this book!
