His Primal Kiss by Kota Quinn

His Primal Kiss is book 2 in the Monster Match series that I started last year.  I know they look like women on the cover art, but the two main characters are both male.  They're just really pretty for an orc and a human.

Maddox is an orc tattoo artist who specializes in magic, healing tattoos.  He gets a lot of old people as customers.  He went to open up shop in the human world because something (I can't remember what) told him his soul mate would be a human so he thought his chances of meeting a human soulmate would be best in the human world.  Very logical, I appreciate that.

Dani is a pretty guy with a supernatural stalker, so he hires the orc to be his bodyguard at first, and then they start dating.  Fake dating?  Then real dating.  The story isn't what I'm here for, let's be honest.  I just want to watch them be cute and kiss and yeah.

Not as strong as the first one in the series, but it's fiiine.  I enjoyed it.  Oh, and the supernatural stalker situation gets resolved and everybody gets a happy ending.  I probably could've skipped this one, but then I wouldn't have met the main character for the next book! 

Book Review: Threading Carefully by Ashlynn Mills

Threading Carefully by Ashlynn Mills is the first in the Monster Match series, a collab project by a bunch of writers all in the same supernatural universe.  I read a few of them last year, so I'm gonna read more this year, and review the two I've already read now.

Nova is a Frankenstein-type monster, made up of the corpses of other people, held together with thread.  His first "master" was his creator, who was a really bad person, but that's not the important part.  He's on his own, looking for new friends and a chance to go to the human world.

Frank is a human doctor with an interest in the healing properties of things from the monster world.  He also doesn't have a lot of friends and just got dumped, I think.  And since he's a physical doctor who's handled injured humans a lot, he's already got practice stitching people up.  Plus, Nova thinks he's really cute.

There's a secondary plot about Frank's best friend dating a guy trying to sabotage relations between the monster world and human world, but really what you're here to read is Nova and Frank being cute together.  And Frank thinks he's straight in the beginning, but he really goes for Nova, so I guess you're Bi, Frank!

Fluff and smut aside, this is a good introduction to the Monster Match series, and I liked it so much, that I read book 2, which I'll add the review later.

Book Review: Hell's Most Incompetent Demon

Hell's Most Incompetent Demon is a fluffy gay romance by Silvana Falcon.  I read it on Kindle Unlimited, and liked it so much that I bought it digitally and in paperback!

Here's my eloquent review on Amazon: This was EXACTLY what I wanted! So freaking cute! So absolutely, completely cute! This is exactly what I look for in a book. Both main characters are so cute I'm dead. Read it on Kindle Unlimited, and liked it so much, I bought it to read again later. SO SWEET! I loved it and I can't wait for the next book in the series! 

A lovable human and a demon who can't do his job right fall in love.  That's it.  And it's perfect.  I can't wait for the next book in the series "The Wimpiest Vampire."  That's not scheduled to come out until New Years Eve though, so I will wait.  And it will be worth it.

Can I also point out this book has a nice cover?  It shows the two main characters, not just some photoshopped set of abs like 90% of the romance genre.  I'm so sick of seeing pictures of muscular abs... 

Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror

As you can guess from the matching cover, Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror is the first book in their book series, and it's a retelling of the first movie.  Since it's a book, there are no musical numbers, and some scenes have been adjusted, some bits taken out, others added.  Naturally, there's no musical numbers, but more effort is put into narrating how Twilight Sparkle is feeling.

I'll be honest, I've been trying to read this book all week, since Tuesday, and it's Friday night now.  I can't do it.  It's an easy read, it's not difficult, but it's BORING.  I'm only halfway in, and I DON'T want to read any more!  I don't!  I'm bored!  And I'm not opposed to kids books. I have and have read every Ever After High book that was published!  This does not contend.  And the thought of forcing myself to read 8 more volumes of this?  Kinda killing my vibe right now.  So yeah, I'm removing the book reading portion from my Equestria Girls Summer challenge, for the sake of my own sanity.

Sent to a Fantasy World and now all the Men want Me Review

Here's my first book review.  I wasn't going to include book reviews in this blog, but I've been reading a lot on Kindle Unlimited, and I want to remember some of these books, which is why I made this blog to begin with, to remember things.

Sent to a Fantasy World and now all the Men want Me is an obviously named romance isekai by Jacklyn Osborn.  It's not a manga, but a fairly hefty novel with nice cover art.  It took me a few tries to finish it, but it has a bunch of things I like, like a well-meaning protagonist, passionate love interests, steamy smut, and a happy ending.

It is volume 1 in a 4 part series, but I actually decided not to read the rest of it because it's a "why choose?" series where the protagonist's harem just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and I prefer more one on one romances.  Still, the writing was very good, so I went back to Jaclyn Osborn and started a different series they wrote.
