Scales, Fangs, or Fur: Monster Romances
Being a lover of all things romance and all things monstrous in media can only lead to one thing: a really fun romance subgenre. If you prefer your partners fanged, scaled, feathered, or something else entirely, there's something out there for all you little freaks out there. If you're new to the genre, or feeding your curiosity, maybe some recs here can inspire you! Take the plunge, they won't bite (hard.)

Interesting... I'd classify Ensnared as an alien romance, actually. Yes, the mmc is 'monstrous' and non-human, but it's because she's on a different planet and she's the alien and he's indigenous
True, and you could make an entire list of just alien/sci-fi romances, although I haven't read enough of those. I feel like the line between sci-fi and monster romance can be a little blurred sometimes.
I know, esp since if the criteria is 'from elsewhere' then also Lily Mayne would be 'aliens' too... so I get it. Do you have a fav on this list?
So far, probably The Fall That Saved Us. Not enough people talk about that book! I haven't read 5 of these, though, they're on my TBR, so who knows, maybe that'll change.
I loved bull moon rising! The mix between monster and regency reminded me of "A Rivalry of Hearts" (romantasy)
