BLURB:
Lavender is a young college student anxious and focused on school work, when her charming roomate convinces her to attend a Halloween party. At the party, Lavender is faced with past loves, and betrayals that send her searching for a new purpose.
As she desperately tries to escape the party scene, she is approached by a handsome man in a bug costume.
Sarsour, King of the Centapitera, is a humanoid bug attending the Halloween party in order to find the answers to his colonies problems. At the party, he seeks out Lavender. He is certain that her unique skill set is exactly what his colony needs to survive.
However, Sarsour didn’t expect the passionate attraction between them.
When he takes her back to the colony, one thing becomes clear, their relationship will change the fate of the Centapitera, forever.
A quirky and fun parody of the monster romance we all know and love.
MY REVIEW:
“ A quirky and fun parody of the monster romance we all know and love.” That’s exactly what this story was, and I was here for it!
PJ Freebourn is one of the narrators that will be attending Charm City Romanticon 2024, and as I was looking for books of his to listen to, I found this gem! It was short and on sale for $4.00 on Chirp so I thought, why not?
This story was ridiculously funny and steamy! I laughed and swooned! I think my absolute favorite part in the whole story was after Lavender and Sarsour are reunited after being separated for a couple days. Lavender goes to find him and she discovers him in the bathtub with his ex. Unbeknownst to her, the Centapitera have this annual festival where they get extremely horny and need to fuck. So he thinks this should excuse him from cheating on Lavender, especially since Lavender wasn’t around. She discovers them in the bathtub, runs away and Sarsour takes off after her. Buck naked. When he tells her all this and that his ex means nothing to him, Lavendar proceeds to strip herself naked, turn around so he can see her ass, slaps herself on the ass, and then tells him to “prove it.” I was roaring!!
Definitely check this out if you’re looking for a short and quirky or ridiculous storyline with your steam.
I thought PJ and Roxanne were great in their narration!
