The Mead Mishaps series is probably my favorite Monster Romance book series!

Set fully in a cozy, low-tech, medieval-vibes fantasy world, we accompany Cin in “That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon” as she, well, saves a demon and then falls for him.

And in “That Time I Got Drunk And Yeeted A Love Potion At A Werewolf”, we get to know Cin’s best friend Brie better, who, well, throws a love potion at a werewolf who then imprints on her. Whoops!

I love the sense of humor in these books, as well as the captivating adventures and the sweet, sweet love. The perfect mix!

The audiobook versions are narrated by Hazel Addison, who has a fantastic range of voices for the human and non-human characters.

Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta has been an absolute break-out hit and made Monster Romance even more popular!

This is a very well-written indie Romance about a woman who is struggling after finishing college. When she can’t find a job in her field, she accepts a position as a “milking technician” in a facility that “milks” male Minotaurs to produce potency-enhancing medication for human men.

Violet is conflicted about the job but soon finds an entirely new community among supernatural beings…

I loved the audiobook narrated by Eva Caine. She really brings Violet to life perfectly!

Sol is a trans man and has been a vampire for five years, a condition that seriously lowers your life expectancy, what with the sensitivity to sunlight and all.

Elsie is a young widow who asks Sol to archive her late wife’s work.

The take on vampirism resonated very strongly with me and is a fascinating way to think about bodies, identity, illness, and generally how weird and difficult being a person and having a body can be.

Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman is a wonderful, emotional, mesmerizing queer Monster Romance novel!

The audiobook is narrated by Dani Martineck, who I adore. They have a great range of voices and are so pleasant to listen to. One of my favorite narrators!

Love Laugh Lich is perfect escapism! The setting cracked me up, and I did not expect how the lich would be spun into a desirable Romance hero. Ooh, but is he ever!

I don’t want to give anything away about this two-hour-long sweet and spicy treat. But if you are looking for something fun and “fun” (wink wink, nudge nudge), then this Monster Romance is perfect!

Rachel Leblang is excellent as Lily, the secretary.

If you are looking for monstrously fun times, this adorable paranormal Rom-Com is exactly what you need!

A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is entertaining and super sexy. And I loved the heroine’s special power!

Mariel was supposed to be the most powerful witch in her community. But then, she only manifested plant magic. And her family makes sure to share their disappointment with her on a regular basis.

To make matters worse, Mariel accidentally summons a demon instead of flour. And the demon says he can only leave once she has made a bargain for her soul…

Helen Laser perfectly brings Mariel and sexy Oz to life!

Siel, Pykh, and Carter get to know each other in a cage. The two furry aliens and the human space marine are slaves to some yucky bug people. But together, they manage to escape captivity and have to track through a jungle to get to safety.

This is such an incredibly captivating, atmospheric series with amazing audiobook narration.

Honestly, Pykh and Siel are way too cute and fluffy to be considered monsters, but they ARE giant alien cats, so… There you have it.

The audiobook trilogy is narrated by the amazing Joel Leslie, who fills these stories with so much life, and brings out their emotions and depth.

Katee Robert is (for very good reason) one of the most popular Monster Romance authors. And The Dragon’s Bride is a fantastic, incredibly entertaining book!

Briar Rose escapes an abusive marriage by making a deal with a demon. Her part of the bargain is to live with a dragon man and give him a chance to woo her.

The dragon, Sol, wants a child. But for Briar, the nature of their relationship – having been traded to Sol – as well as the limited timeframe, complicate things.

While she quickly starts to like Sol, she isn’t willing to consider a real relationship and a child if she is only allowed to stay in the dragon realm for seven years.

The audiobook is read by Lessa Lamb and Jack Calihan, whose voices match the characters so well!

But there are other beings around who have a quite considerable influence on the relationships between the women and the blue guys…

Not Quite is a bit more Urban Fantasy than all-out Romance, but Sam simply had to be on here!

Sam is intersex, and throughout the Not Quite series, a polyamorous relationship with all kinds of people and monsters develops.

Sam has shifter blood and hunts monsters. But navigating this world, especially as someone who is not quite human, not quite shifter, not quite man, and not quite woman, is difficult and dangerous.

I had an absolute blast with the Not Quite series by Kaye Draper. It’s a fast-paced, steamy, very cool Urban Fantasy with lovable characters. And I simply adored Sam! The author reads the audiobooks and did a fantastic job.

Friends with the Monsters is a very steamy polyamory Romance.

Dami is friends with all the things that go bump in the night. But with no one else. Until three guys show up at her house!

Obviously, they aren’t exactly normal human men, either. But they are a very different type of monster than what Dami has encountered so far.

The audio version is narrated by Vanessa Moyen, who is one of my favorite narrators, and Lucas Webley, who gave very hot voices to those scary guys.

After their unfortunate first encounter, Becky and the demon keep running into one another.

AITA? is available as an exclusive audiobook on Scribd and is narrated by Avery Caris. I had such a blast listening to this cute Monster Romantic Comedy!

T. Kingfisher’s World of the White Rat is probably more “Monster Romance adjacent”, but it still shares the same vibes.

Set in a fantasy world, the heroine Halla comes into possession of a sword with a not-so-super-nice swordsman, Sarkis, trapped inside of it.

Now she owns him, basically. And he will kill whoever his wielder tells him to attack. This fact makes the sword extremely attractive to other people as well.

So, these two have quite some adventures to get through before they can give in to their attraction.

The Swordheart audiobook is read by Jesse Vilinsky, who makes Halla so relatable, and her voice for Sarkis is intensely sexy!

This M/M Monster Romance has a central mystery and a bit of a creepy feeling.

Eli and Julien both have a lot of secrets, and it takes time for them to grow closer. Especially because they are quite busy with the weird things that keep happening in Maudit Falls.

It was fascinating to discover the supernatural world with Julien, and I was so captivated by this book! It has a great cast of characters in an awesome manor house mystery setting.

And Joel Leslie truly brings out the atmosphere of this great story.
