Recs if you like Bears in Mind...

If I had a nickle for every time a book about milk and minotaurs ended up on my TBR because of book social media, I’d have 2 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

This is dedicated to the weird AF romance/erotic books I’ve come across.

erotic ≠ smutty (necessarily) it just may be erotically charged (ie Lobster)

submissions welcome

//PLEASE CHECK TW BEFORE READING ANY OF THESE BOOKS - READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION//

You don't want to choose? You like several men treating their woman like a queen? Welcome home.

Sometimes a monster romance really hits the spot, especially when you're in the mood for something extra tasty. Big bodies, big appetites, big loads, these creatures are packing a little something extra to titillate your taste buds, often in copious amounts. A delicious deluge, if you will.

Romance and erotica where the 💦 tastes like 🍬🥛🥥🥜🌰 or anything beyond the expected.

Bears in all their shapes and forms and across genres (this includes sentient teddybears and memoirs). If not friend why friend-shaped?! As long as the bear is plot or character relevant the book can land in here. Feel free to recommend books to be added (maybe also tell me why you think the bear functions as relevant for the story). We bear bears!

Why settle when you can have a monster obsessed with you.

Monster, Mermen, Alien, Entity, Demons, Vampires, Wolf, Orc, ect.

Horror, Fantasy, Romance, and Smut.

Straight & queer

Standalone & series Only first books in series were added because why would you read a second book if you didn't like the first.

Books of the polyamorous sort. Haven't read all of them so I could be wrong on some. Some of these are set in non-monogamous cultures even if the protagonists themselves are not engaging in romance or polyamory.

Big thanks to AthenatheStorier who often finds and recommends these books through instagram or tiktok videos!

Also if you're a lover of polyamorous stories of any kind/medium, let me know. I want to co-write a collaborative analysis of polyamorous stories and you could help!

The ultimate/best monster romance and paranormal books and authors....start here and you'll have a perfect monster romance foundation

ps- read at your own risk, we didn't say they're all GOOD
