taking a bite of sapphic monsters 🫦
oh me, oh my, that woman is kinda hot except .. am i seeing things correctly? is that a tail? or horns? or scales? or hooves? or wings? ah— that monster is kinda hot. and who could blame me if i decided i wanted that monster? i wonder ..
(during my search for these, i found a lot of monster romances that used gen ai, so i went through each one to make sure that was not the case. if i missed any, do let me know. if you have any recs, i encourage sharing. ;))

Let's Go To Monster (Pound) Town!
Pack your bags (and prophylactics) for a titillating trip to a Monster Town™️ near you! These romance and erotica reads feature sprawling space colonies, cozy villages, and charming towns where humans, monsters, aliens, and other paranormal creatures coexist.
Recs include full interconnected series (my cap here is 3 books per series) as well as juicy standalones.
Spice levels vary, but majority of recs range from explicit open door to erotic filth. Open to recs!






Romance Quest Books that aren't M/F
I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.
