When he helps her with her busted trash bag and picks up the packaging for the alien toy that is the same species as him. I legit cackled. That’s definitely going on the favorite meet cute list.
(Novella is Starhub Trash Chute.)

Cover for When The Tides Held The Moon features a Puerto Rican man and merman embracing over an ocean wave.

It is a beautifully researched historical fantasy genre Romance that navigates classism, racism, & xenophobia as well as the lived experience of sideshow performers who existed on the fringes of society.
When The Tides Held The Moon—a gorgeous, mesmerizing, can’t stop thinking about it 5 star read.
A gripping exploration into loneliness, exploitation, and the meaning of home anchored by the romance between a Puerto Rican immigrant and the merman he helps capture for a Coney Island sideshow.
Good Harvest by Jane Darkspire and Wiled In The Woods by Ginger Kane fit if you’re familiar. I’ve encountered alien sex pollen but it was in an anthology and unfortunately doesn’t exist separately so it’s not something I can share with other readers.
Looking for genre Romance—fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal—with an ecological angle, sentient or not. I’m thinking sex pollen, lust spores, maybe the forest is actually a god, maybe the planet is trying to breed them. See where I’m going with this?

Yesss. That’s how I like ‘em too. Super excited to read this when it drops.
Book cover for Wiled In The Woods by Ginger Kane. A forest with the silhouette of a woman in the background and faun leaning against a tree while playing his flute in the foreground.
This eco-fantasy romance novella was a wild read. Mycological sex spores + fuckable mushrooms that are proxies for a faun king’s equipment. With academic cheekiness, thoughtful alliteration, & it romanticizes brown eyes! A fun, bold read.

Well then. Vampire romance coming to collect barely three chapters in.

For all the #alienromance I’ve read this is the first time I’ve encountered “Beg me, human.” Not ashamed to admit it did something to me.
The can pry it from my cold, dead hands. I’m not giving it up. It’s one of my faves and I use it all the time too.
Fyi, if you have Etta Pierce’s #scifiromance Watch Your Orbit on your TBR, she is donating all profits from it in November to Jamaica relief. Series highlights:
Gods. It’s such shitty manipulation to do to people. Especially considering how little people can afford currently.
This was our experience too. My husband spent $800 to learn the stray kitten we were taking care of was constipated. Absolute robbery. VCA owned. Unfortunately he’s not savvy enough to realize he needed to push back. Lesson learned. We’re switching to a vet unaffiliated with private equity.
Just finished a harvest themed erotic romance novella where a forest god “seeds” a young woman to keep humanity fed. 🥴 With tentacle vines!
Book is Good Harvest, Jane Darkspire

Alien romance cover titled The Two Queens of Firixina by Dalia Davies. Mirrored image of a single woman, one in shadow with tentacles—a hint at the special abilities of one of the alien queens.
Sapphic, second chance #alienromance novella. Royal daughters of opposing species fall in love & broker peace once each becomes queen. Interesting world building. One MC has tentacles so can’t go wrong there. The other is a prodigy with a blade. Definitely worth a read. #monsterromance
Book cover in blues, greens, and pinks featuring a pointed eared mermaid peeking from the water with her hair floating around forming the first word of the book’s title: Swim. Book title is Swim With Me, Darling by Sylvie Helstaff.
Horror Romance with sapphic mermaids who dine on shitty men. With courting gifts, yearning, & bonus body transformation! It was such a vibe. I loved it. #monsterromance #booksky📚#horrorromance #romancerecs
My Ava Thorne specials of Neon Flux & Devoured arrived. THEY ARE SPECTACULAR.
Both have: holographic silver foil titles, illustrations inside front & back covers, full color title page. NF has a spot gloss cover illustration—ADORE. D has a textured cover & black pgs. #romancerecs #fantasyromance
A snake winding through the book cover’s title with night blooming moonflowers all around.
A fantastic historical #fantasyromance / #monsterromance novella I read recently: Devoured by Ava Thorne. It’s a female rage premise so it begins rather dark and parallels man’s abuse of nature and woman. So good. The MMC is a spidery monster she seeks out for revenge assistance. #booksky
during commercials of @911nashville (a TV maxidrama featuring attractive people rescuing folks), consider helping our most vulnerable Nashvillians by donating food, shelter and warmth that will go directly to those in need through Open Table Nashville. Winter is coming. buff.ly/0ib7qKm?
Apparently I’m ordering all of Ava Thorne’s special editions. I have:
•Neon Flux (enemies to lovers cyberpunk #scifiromance), •Devourer ( #monsterromance that parallels man’s abuse of nature & woman), &
•Cocoa and Clauses ( #paranormalromance why choose reindeer shifters). #romancerecs
😂🤣 correct!
Romance book recs with a sex worker main character love interest. Includes him, her, and non-binary. The job is for fun, pays the bills, or because they’re a captive or it’s compulsory. Phantom Hole Booth, Dalia Davies Neon Flux, Ava Thorne Mate For The Alien Porn Star, Alexis B. Osborne Across The Stars, Courtney Leigh Defiance, Etta Pierce Kraving Khiva, Zoey Draven Seismic Drift, Dalia Davies
After an author denigrated a SW I made a list of Romance books I’ve enjoyed that feature a sex worker MC as one of the love interests. These all happen to be alien & scifi as it shows up more often here.

A+ content.
Didn’t expect to read web shibari 69 between a spidery man and a serpentine woman who can unhinge her jaw to take both of his cocks but I’m absolutely delighted.
Book: Devoured, Ava Thorne

The #Monsterotica book event sold out in less than 4 minutes today with a hundred more tix than last year! I’m volunteering again so if you’re going I hope I see you there! #booksky #monsterromance
My current read is an alien glory hole booth & I’m kinda kicking myself for having not read it sooner. While this book is erotica I believe it ends in an HEA w/ her & one of the aliens so it’s also a Romance.
