New review: Matched to Xycho by CY Croc 3⭐ In sp New review: Matched to Xycho by CY Croc 3⭐
In spite of a pretty cool dating app/marriage of convenience plot with a dash of Beauty and the Beast thrown in, this one wasn't for me. I swiped left because
💀 Unnecessary hurtful words & thoughts from the heroine, with no apology later
💀 A lot of plot whiplash which strained my suspension of disbelief 
💀 Triggering content at the 70% mark
Other readers may still like this one. There's good world building and I liked the hero, Xycho. He's a giant, wounded grump, one of my favorite types. I will give other CY Croc books a try, because I liked the writing style fine. This one just wasn't my type.

(ID: the mock phone cover of Matched to Xycho, showing a horned purple alien posing in his dating profile like a cute doof)
Quick review: I Married a Minotaur, Regine Abel. 4 Quick review: I Married a Minotaur, Regine Abel. 4.5 ⭐
Keep going with the Prime Mating Agency series! In this one you'll get
✔️ Marriage of convenience to escape a prison sentence
✔️ Zatruk, the intriguing 'villain' (?) from the previous book
✔️ Competence kink 😉
✔️ Rihanna is a sassy spitfire who takes zero (0) shit from any of the massive minotaurs she's surrounded by
✔️ Zatruk is a giant, possessive, growly marshmallow for his tiny mate
✔️ Size difference, in all the best ways

(ID: bulging muscles and horns form the highlight of I Married a Minotaur's book cover, against a darker background of book pages and wood.)
Quick review: book three in the Prime Mating Agenc Quick review: book three in the Prime Mating Agency series 4⭐
In this one you're looking at:
✔️ Political marriage of convenience 
✔️ Enthusiasm from the hero, because fated mates
✔️ Heroine needs a bit more time, but she's genuinely trying to make this work 
✔️ Soul bonds, magical empathy abilities, and enthusiastic consent
✔️ Some really alien biology

Quick review: I Married A Naga by Regine Abel 4.5⭐ 

If you wondered whether or not to keep going with Abel's "I Married A" series, I say keep going. Each book stands alone, with a new couple and new issues to overcome.
This second book gives you:
✔️ Another arranged marriage, done well
✔️ Break the law, get married to make up for it
✔️ Serena, a fierce hunter who makes her naga mate proud
✔️ A whole planet of conservationists who are VERY serious about this
✔️ Sexy, sexy tail time 🔥

Old Review: Silent Lucidity by Tiffany Roberts. 5 Old Review: Silent Lucidity by Tiffany Roberts. 5 Infinite Worldbuilding Stars ⭐
✨Wow I've missed you Booknerds! My first school year back at work is over and I'm just now sorta recovering. I loved it. Boogers, blood, boo-boos and all. But I am so glad I get some time to breathe now. And post about smutty SciFi, let's be honest.
✨So. In this one you can expect
✔️ The Infinite City. Grungy, amazing, colorful, creative, and somehow kinda steampunk? But in space? It all works.
✔️Tenthil, my favorite scarred, secretly soft Murder Baby
✔️ Abella, badass earth girl
✔️ Sweet, sweet revenge with a side of spine popping
✔️ I've never had *feelings* in my cold, assassin life...but my chest hurts around you
✔️ Who did this to you?! I will bring you their hands
✔️ Venom, biting, and fangs, oh my
✔️ HEA epilogue 😭
By some fun coincidence, this book is free until June 18th (thank you, Tiffany Roberts!) GO and GET it if you're into impeccable world building in your SciFi romance.

Hello book friends! It has been more than a minute Hello book friends! It has been more than a minute since I participated in #TropeTuesday 
I hope this post devoted to a perennial favorite trope, #Groveling will make up for it!
If you thought Epic Grovel only existed in historical romance, let me show you how much remorse, empathizing, and emotional justice can be found in #SciFiRomance
