My first thought is that there are so many better monster romances than the ones you picked.

[@sarawithoutanH]

😂 after i started filming this, i discovered other ones that seemed more up my alley. but i had to see it through. what are your favorites?

[@bookwormdreams5182]

@@sarawithoutanH Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon. Ruby Dixon wrote a fun one called Half Orcs Maiden Bride. And Kimberly Lemming's Mead Mishaps series is so much fun. (That time I got drunk and Saved a Demon) They work if you broaden your definition of a monster.

[@jaimiejust7365]

I dipped a toe in monster romance and read the Spider’s Mate trilogy by Tiffany Roberts and I was actually pleasantly surprised! The world building was phenomenal and character building as well. A very memorable story overall. Could I have lived without all the fluids? Yes. But that was a minor inconvenience looking back. I recommend that trilogy!

[@big_and_bookish]

Yes! The Duskwalker Brides series by Opal Reyne is my favorite!

[@tarinhaque705]

the wraith kings series by grace draven is also really good!

[@wochenente6977]

I love how the covers of the first 2 books just look like classic historical romances (the ones you might find on you mum's book shelf). Makes the books look so goofy. And then the 3rd book just looks like badly put together in photoshop

[@fuunosenshi]

There's some body horror there too... But it's so good you ignore all that 😅. Also, stay away from the Orc Sworn series. Lots of fluids and Uber toxic MCs

[@Nicole_Night]

It’s conflicting since I feel like the Duskwalker Brides series is a lot more tolerable of a smutty read compared to other normal romances. I’d say if you’re open to someone thing different because the monsters in that story make sense but the story was pretty good on top of the smut (only talking about fluids for moments that make sense to me… eh.) Soul to Keep is good, but avoid parts of Soul to Heal due to pregnancy being a big part of the plot. I still need to read the other two books to confirm or deny any more warnings.

[@schenanigans]

🐮😂 great video! It'd be cool if you did more stereotypical ones for this Halloween. Like vampires, werewolf, ..... ghost?? Also some reptiles have retractable hemipenis so accurate 😂

[@S.M.Owens_]

You literally chose the most abstract/weird monster romances. There are so many others that I feel like you would have had an easier time with because they are more mainstream and they are pretty much straight romances but with the added quirk of “monsters” but their monster parts and forms are kinda optional because they have human forms - or they are way more humanistic but with maybe some tentacles, or like snake tongues so they are basically humans with a couple monsterous features and they have waaaay more plot. Don’t get me wrong they are very smutty, but they aren’t straight up erotica they have actual plots and subplots. You went allllllllll the way in with these options lmao

[@sarawithoutanH]

sometimes ya just gotta dive in headfirst and accept the consequences

[@nuffyj8614]

My book club read I Married a Lizardman for the Lolz, but then when we got together, everyone was like, "Actually..this wasn't really as wild and awful as expected..." I appreciated the how-do-we-get-this-to-work-actually??? aspect, and the author's focus on their differing cultures and that being a struggle. Not destined to be named amongst great literature, but...not bad.

Ruby Dixon writes a good one about Orcs and Tiffany Roberts writes a good series with Spiders. There are many out there that I would say have better world building and development, especially than the first 2 you read.

[@Theravingranter]

I am extremely familiar with cryptids, monsters, fantasy creatures, legends and lore beasties. When it comes to romanticizing them this is incredibly normal to me as we as a species have been so fascinated and aroused by subhuman creatures from the beginning, and the more human they appear the more erotic the tales become or romantic. I would love to see in future romance novels or erotica for people to push themselves past the human looking beings. It is so easy to fall in love with the mermaid, the vampire, the werewolf, the demon, but like fall in love with a genuinely ugly troll goblin one who is surly but deep down has a soft heart. Like even Beast from the Disney movie is too handsome for being a beast. I never hear anyone talking about this but there’s a book called Beast where the prince is turned into an actual lion and it’s honestly the most complex poignant love story that everyone should read. Honestly would also love to see a story about someone genuinely falling in love with the Mothman. 😅

[@sarawithoutanH]

the minotaur book is part of a companion series and the second book is about a mothman. It's called Sweet Berries by CM Nascosta if you want to read it
