I finally decided to try venturing back into monster romance after my previously disastrous foray into the genre. I’m really glad I did because A Kiss From a Demon by Charlotte Swan was such a good, quick read and a great way to get into monster romance.
I went into this believing this would be just a straight erotica read with no plot, just sex. Pleasantly surprised to find out that wasn’t strictly the case! For a book under 80 pages, there was enough substance to keep me interested. Irys has come to age and her father promises to marry her off to a gross lech of a man that has been lusting after her since she was a literal child. Desperate to stop that, she goes off into the woods to make a deal with a demon. Is he a sexy demon? To Irys he is, but he definitely is monstrous. The spice, which is like 80% of the book, is top notch. Well written and enjoyable! The story that makes up the remaining 20% is good! It makes sense and gets easily resolved.
If you’re someone that is looking to get into monster romance, I definitely think A Kiss From a Demon by Charlotte Swan is a good introduction. Good spice, straight to the point, and doesn’t linger on unnecessary set dressing.
