About this listen
Phillipa Willoughby already had one successful Season, betrothed to Wesley, Duke of Chelmsford. But after her kind and gentle husband mysteriously disappears on their wedding night, she finds polite society intolerable and withdraws to the woodlands. She is delighted to learn the ways of the herbs and crystals she's found in the forest, and the traditions of the fae who call the woodlands home.
But all is not peaceful in this newly found sanctuary. The woodland creatures are being terrorized by a Wolven King.
When Her Majesty demands she attend The Monsters Ball, a three-day affair at a remote gothic estate, her family threatens to shun her if she attends. She plans to seduce the noblest members of this monstrous society to get information on the fearsome Wolven King.
Few have seen the beastly royal with their own eyes, but she'll stop at nothing for the chance to confront him.
But the Wolven King is on a mission too. When he's given a chance to reveal himself to Phillipa in his wolven form at the ball, he's reluctant. He's feral. And he's determined to reclaim the love of his life, even if the lady has vowed to destroy him.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Antônia is back in London after the passing of her father. Living overseas most her life, without the burden of family affairs, she is accustomed to a life that allows her to do as she pleases without answer to anyone. The missive changes everything, however. She will do as she must, but if her husband thinks he will rule her, he will be sadly mistaken. Hiding behind the guise of a beastly baron, Louis Lockheart, the unseelie king, has little patience for the unsavory human world. He tolerates it for only one purpose: to find the one he was betrothed to long ago.

Story
Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right? Except there's one guest at the hotel who's always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes.

When former child star Julianna Novak loses everything to her shady managers, she'll do whatever it takes to win her independence back, even if it means rushing to find a new sugar daddy. When Titan, a wealthy businessman, makes her an offer she can't refuse, she soon realizes he may not be what he seems. His curved horns, massive wings, and ribbed prehensile tail are, however, more than she ever bargained for.

Story
The blue alien warrior pacing in his cage terrifies me. His long dark hair is wild and messy, and his scarred body looks made for murder. I deliver food to him every day, and I'm sure by the way he stares at me that he'd rather eat me. Yet there's something about him that captivates me, and I can't stop watching him. When he lets the snarling, fearsome mask slip, I start to see there's a cool calculation to his actions. I would be risking everything to help him escape, but do I dare let this monster free from his cage?

The orcs hunt me as I bolt through the forest.

Then something changes, and his dark, brooding gaze turns my way . . .

When my sister thrifts an aged map with iridescent lettering leading to a town called Ever, I roll my eyes. According to a quick internet search, the town doesn't exist. We only manage to find it with the help of a sexy gas station owner who offers to come for me if I call him. Swoon. I quickly learn that Shepherd isn't actually human; nobody in town is. News flash—he's a gargoyle—a dominant, possessive, crème brûlée-loving monster. That should terrify me, but something about him keeps me coming back.

For centuries I have suffered. Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for. Except now, after so long… There is a female. One who always seems to be by my side. Day after day. Night after night. She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude. But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she's caught between us. He only wants her to get to me. She isn't his. And I'll do anything to protect what's mine.

Except Ophelia always found the idea of monsters kind of intriguing. She even made the grave sin of committing some X-rated monster thoughts to paper—which in hindsight may not have been the best idea because her parents were mortified—but you live and learn.

As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands. With her 25th birthday approaching, and no suitors, her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA - the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.

I'm the next in line for Fyrifirar Tribe Jarl, a skilled warrior, and definitely not good at chopping down trees. But I can't stop thinking about the tiny human female who we'd found near our village with eleven other human females. She's so small, barely larger than an orkin child, and so lovely I can't get her out of my mind. And then I went and nearly killed her while felling a tree to distract myself. Yet somehow, she still ended up in my arms.

Minnotar and Snake story. My heart aches for the monsters to find love in a daring and unconventional triad. This series evokes a similar fervor in me as the beloved Bridgerton novels, but with a thrilling twist of monstrous intrigue. If you crave a blend of Regency romance and supernatural excitement, then look no further than the enchanting world of the Monster Ball series. It will surely ignite your passion and leave you breathless for more.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming all in the same book
