A painter in need of a model.A matchmaker seeking a subject.An arrangement that will tangle their hearts. Fae shifter Daphne has landed the opportunity of a illustrating her favorite author’s steamy romance novels. If only she could master male physiques…and other essential anatomy. What she needs is a model. Yet how does the socially awkward fae with a tendency to bite find a man she can comfortably paint in the nude? Self-proclaimed matchmaker Monty Phillips is a hopeless romantic, but only when it comes to others. Meddling in the love lives of strangers via his popular advice column keeps romance a safe distance away. Yet when he’s tasked with proving his tips on modern courtship work, he’ll need to step out from behind the pen and into someone’s love life. And he knows just the perfect plaything. The last time Daphne saw Monty, he broke her heart and discarded their friendship. Now he wants to drag her into one of his idiotic matchmaking games—where she’s the subject! But when he promises to pose as her model in exchange, she can’t refuse. At least it’s only temporary. If he’s the expert he claims to be, she can replace him with a lover in no time. Painting sessions and flirting lessons commence, rekindling their friendship. But when instructional seduction turns their platonic spark into burning desire, will either have the courage to fan the flames? Bridgerton meets My Fair Lady and a dash of He’s Just Not That Into You in My Feral Romance, a spicy standalone fantasy romcom in the Fae Flings and Corset Strings series. If you like fae bargains, friends-to-lovers romance, and cozy fantasy worlds, you’ll love this sizzling tale.

Well, after falling in love with the first book in the Fae Flings and Corset Strings series, I immediately had to jump into this book as my first 2025 read. Same with the first one, I flew through this book in one sitting, unable to put it down, no matter how many times I tried to convince myself to get up and do something productive to no avail.
I loved both Monty and Daphne from the first book, so I was so happy to see their full story unfold! From friends, to strangers, and then back to friends, this is the tale of two people trying to convince themselves they aren't attracted to the other when they most certainly and undeniably are. And oh what a fun and entertaining time that is. From modeling and sketching, to boxing and fighting in alleyways, to bargains that are impossible to get out of, the pages practically turn themselves.
Overall 4.5
I want to thank the author for giving an advance readers copy of My Feral Romance and here’s what I honestly think about the book.
My Feral Romance is the second book in a series of interconnected rom-com, Fae Flings and Corset Strings. After I read the first book between Edwina and William I just knew that I need more from this crazy, whimsical word that Tessa has created. The first book gave me rivals to lovers with Bridgerton vibes, this one? It’s Bridgerton Season 1 and I ate it up!
This comes out December 10 and you do not want to miss reading about Dapne and Monty and how they became friends to strangers to friends to lovers! Also the PHYSICAL book, INCREDIBLE!!!
