This whole series is all about: come for the taboo sexytimes (which is most of the text), stay for the emotional depth. Why would she go back to earth when Daddy has a forked tongue and a prehensile tail? Seducing My Guardian by Katee Robert So naturally when they start living together and she starts taking care of his children who can literally breathe fire, she begins to find Daddly alien hella hot.

The heroine faints the first time she sees him. I don’t recommend it as a fat positive book, and once again we are contending with a lot of paternalistic themes (hi, sci-fi romance!), BUT this alien looks like Darth Maul had a baby with satan. My reading totally took a turn for the weird this year because sci-fi smut is often just endlessly entertaining, which is how I happened on the Monsters Love Curvy Girls series. Are they paternalistic as hell? Yes! But they are also absolutely bonkers! Blue eyeshadow! Perms! Crimping irons! Scrunchies! Denim jackets! Ridiculously OTT climactic moments! I can’t exactly recommend them, but I totally kept reading them because what even is this? His Human Nanny by Michele Mills There are plenty of questionable goings on in these books HOWEVER, they are about dragon shifters falling in love with their nannies and they are all set in the 80s. Without further ado and in no particular order: Beverly Hills Dragons by Meg Ripleyįolks, I’m pretty sure that Holly found this series for me when I was on a dragon binge last winter and it is wild. So as we wrap up 2021, I figured I’d do an “Erin Read” Saturday Smutty Six roundup. I read way more books this year than I’ll review, and some of them were a ride.
