Monster Romance Books Released in November

It is awesome to be part of a community with such passionate authors who consistently create monster romance for us to devour. If you're looking for your next book club read, here's a quick roundup of MSSC's 10 favorites this month!

1. Echoes of the Tide (Deep Waters: Book 3) by Emma Hamm

Ace has spent her entire life hiding who she is.

First, it was from friends and family who didn't know she was stealing from the rich. Then it was hiding her true self in a prison city under the water. The worst was hiding herself from new friends who helped her destroy Alpha. What she didn't know, was that decision would force her to come into the light.

Maketes has always been the jokester. No one takes him seriously, and if they do, it's only because he was born violent. But then he starts talking with a human through droids, and he finds a kindred spirit in them. When he's given an opportunity to find out who this human really is, he takes it.

But what he finds in that prison city is not just the person he was friends with. He finds a villainous group of people who wish to use him to their advantage, and a woman who captivates his entire soul.

Together, they travel throughout the remains of Gamma, a city long forgotten. And while they search for a key that will change how they see the entire world underneath the ocean, they find themselves growing closer. Soon enough, they realize that perhaps hiding their entire lives has prevented them from experiencing the greatest part of life.

Love.

2. Saved by the Alien Crime Boss (Aliens Among Us: Book 4) by Tiffany Roberts

An alien criminal in hiding. An enticing female he can’t ignore. But can he protect her from his violent past?

With her birthday just around the corner, Mina Walker has found herself reflecting on her life.

Thirty and still stuck in her tiny hometown.

Thirty and still clinging to the ghosts of people she lost years ago.

Thirty and still alone. Still a virgin.

She refuses to spend this birthday by herself. So when chance brings her face to face with the town’s mysterious newcomer, she knows exactly who she wants to celebrate with.

Tall, intense, and sexy as sin, Viktor Novak clearly has dark, dangerous secrets. But she never could’ve guessed the truth of what he is—an alien with black horns, wicked claws, and fangs that make Mina wish he’d take a bite of her.

She should be frightened of him, of what he is, yet he saves her at every turn, and every time she looks into his burning eyes, she's drawn closer until she's finds herself yearning to be incinerated by their depths.

After years of loneliness, Mina’s ready; she wants him. Except she wants so much more than pleasure. She wants his heart.

She wants forever.

3. Chilly Little Thing by Sonya Lawson

She needs a holiday miracle… and there’s a beastly god out there ready to give it to her.

Lily’s a small town candle-maker known for her innovative scents. Only, this holiday season, her creative well has dried up. If she can’t find a new scent for her annual Christmas candle––fast––she could lose everything.

A tip from an old friend sends her into the dark woods of Appalachia for inspiration. There she finds more than she bargained for in Boreas, the Greek God of the North Wind. A being who sports claws and fangs even sharper than his cheekbones.

He’s grumpy, growly, monstrous, and sexy as sin.

Lily wants him instantly and inexplicably. As if fate threw them together. This becomes a problem when he keeps her at arm’s length to protect her and hide himself from the good townsfolk.

As the flame flickering between Lily and Boreas starts to burn brighter despite his misgivings, an ex-boyfriend with a mean streak rolls back into town.

She’s already burning the candle at both ends. Now she needs to handle her business while keeping her ex at bay and trying like hell to stop a certain sensuous god from snuffing out the spark between them.

Can her blazing bond with Boreas light the way through this hectic holiday season? Or will Lily’s troubles turn her Christmas wishes to coal dust?

After gaining humanity, her personality shines, and she completely turns his life and thoughts upside down. The longer he remains at her side, the more he desires to protect her – even from himself.

Can he give up his revenge and risk losing everything... for someone who could come to hate him because of his cruel past?

6. Currency in Flesh by Heather Nix

“I’m never going to want this.”

“Oh, I know,” she replied. I felt her smile against my skin. “You are going to need it.”

Ten years of regret. Ten years of hiding bruises and putting on a false smile.

Grace Schafer has lost herself in the shadow of her husband’s brutality. All the confidence she once possessed has been replaced by fear and resentment.

Sean Schafer made certain he could never fail, but wealth and success came at a great cost, and the time has arrived to collect what is due.

Grace finds herself at the mercy of the Queen of the Underworld—Sean’s final cruelty.

Debts must be settled, and this time, a soul is not enough. Lady Cora requires compensation and Grace’s body is more than willing to pay. But if the Queen demands more, can Grace face the demons of her past?

7. Summoning by M. Bonnet

He said he loved me, yet kept me in the dark like a dirty, shameful secret.

He broke my heart. Shattered my spirit. Warped my mind. Unleashed the darkness inside me I never knew I had…

I turn to my grandmother’s grimoire, praying to the Goddess for answers. But She gives me so much more than I ever bargained for—a being who lurks in the shadows.

Who helps me seek vengeance and shows me what real devotion truly is.

All magic comes at a price. And if I never see the light again, it’s a price I’m willing to pay…

In the dark is where I thrive.

8. The Horde King of Shadow (Hordes of the Elthika: Book 1) by Zoey Draven

The fearsome creature came from across Drukkar’s Sea…and there was a rider on its back.

As a scholar in Dothik’s library, Klara has spent her life trying to understand the strange dreams that have plagued her since she was a child—visions of dragons and a world with no written record. Rejected by her royal bloodline after her mother’s death, Klara hides her chilling secret, knowing her rare magic could get her killed.

But when a dragon suddenly appears in Dothik, those dreams become a monstrous reality.

Sarkin Dirak’zar, king of the Sarrothian horde, cares only about finding heartstones—the dwindling power source for their revered dragons. Ice-cold and merciless, the last thing Sarkin wants is a wife, especially a weak and unwanted princess who likely won’t last one night on dragonback. Yet the key to acquiring heartstones lies in Klara’s visions, and so he gives her a cruel choice: marry him to save her people…or let Dothik burn.

Her first duty as queen? Claim a dragon of her own. What’s even more alarming is that unexpected desire begins to simmer with her beguiling but guarded husband...even though his barbed cage of a heart is only meant to keep her away.
