Toothsome Monster Romance
In the quiet, magical corners of Moonfang Haven, love doesn’t just bloom—it prowls, growls, and sometimes has tusks.
This is a town where a reclusive orc might rescue you from a snowstorm, a grumpy brewer might warm your heart after a night gone sideways, and a cozy library could become the backdrop to an unexpectedly tender moment between opposites. Toothsome Monster Romance isn’t your average small-town series. Here, fantasy and feeling go hand-in-hand, wrapping spice, heart, and humor into bite-sized novellas that feel both familiar and delightfully strange.
Toothsome Monster Romance consists of six primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Book Reviews
This was a quick open door instalove romance set in the small town of Moonfang Haven and is the introduction of a series of standalone stories between human women and the orcs they fall in love with. This story is about Anne and Urk and I enjoyed getting to know the two of them. The epilogue at the end was also fun and gave readers a peak into their lives six months later.
