-- About the Illustration --

Here is Kazan Dale (now Kyle) from Mistwalker saga by Regine Abel sporting a bohemian style that is very much in keeping with his tastes and identity. He's a character I'm infinitely fond of and has become one of my favorites. (Manifesting to have my own Mistwalker as well) 🛐🛐🛐🛐

-- Acknowledgements —

Last October I had a wonderful surprise and good fortune to receive a birthday greeting from one of my favorite authors: Regine Abel a super talented, amazing and hard-working woman. As a reader, I am quite amazed and grateful for the speed with which she delivers stories of the highest quality ⭐️

So far I've had the pleasure of reading the Mistwalker saga so this illustration is made both to show my deep shout out not only with the beautiful gesture I received that October 25th but as a token of affection I have for the author, her characters and her work.

--To Regine Abel --

Infinite thanks Regine Abel for written wonders and brightening up my days 🩷

I Married a Beast (Prime Mating Agency #7) by Regine Abel

I have to say, for a series with a cover style similar to others that I would normally bash on... they are not the worst "real life men turned into alien" covers. They are actually probably the best because some work that was not just beginner photoshop skills was put into them. Anyways, here is my part two of my back-to-back Regine Abel reviews!

This book immediately captured me with the female lead proclaiming two paragraphs in that she was a proud monster fucker. Preach, sister. Belle is an artist with a penchant for the otherworldly, both as her muse and romance interest, which is how she finds herself preparing for an interview with the founder of the Prime Mating Agency. Her goal is to get a beastly husband who's rough on the outside but sweet to her with plenty of strange features to boot. After some time spent discovering she is not there for the all-out strangeness the worlds have to offer her, her matchmaker settles on who he deems to be the perfect male for her (and he is always right... I mean 7 out of 7 books so far, who would dare to question Kayog).

Bayron is a familiar face if you've read the previous books, he comes to us from a previous interaction from book 2 I Married a Naga. He's got four eyes, four arms, and a beastly personality that he lays to the wayside for his beauty. (That's right, it's Beauty and the Beast references galore). He's also got double the package to please her with. That's right, folks, more DP. ~(˘▾˘~) (double penetration)

This is another great low angst 302-page addition to the series. As always, the primary plot is focused on their love story, getting Belle introduced to his society and way of life while also seeing Bayron willing to make concessions when it comes to some human aspects he isn't used to. They are a fun couple to watch fall in love with each other, they have a healthy relationship with open communication mostly and a never-ending appetite for each other. It even brings back some issues from in the second book that get resolved in a way that adds to the book ten-fold.

I love seeing past couples we've met through the series brought back as well, it makes for some great unity between the books. This can also be found between I Married a Birdman and I Married a Minotaur. Please, please, please check out this series! It's hit after hit and I promise you won't be wasting your time! 9.5/10 (-.5 for all the times Belle made me cringe with some monster fucker comment)

Would I read again? Yeah!

Would I recommend? I am literally begging at this point... I will get on my knees!（ －||－）

Absolutely no one:

Kayog Voln: what if I got these two complete strangers married???

The Mistwalker by Regine Abel

<goodreads link>

Review by Mod H

I chose poorly, part 3

Passionate Plume Contest 2 of 4 finalists in Paranormal, 2 of 22 overall

I made most of my reading notes public on goodreads, because this was so hilariously bad that writing a real review was too much to ask. LINK. 

This book is so wildly inconsistent I can only imagine that it was written by several drunk chipmunks. 

I noped out at 40%. 

Genre/Category: Paranormal

Major Trope: fated mates

Is He An Ass? Yes, the Mistwalker (pictured above) is somehow wearing a human skin-suit and is courting the main character without her knowing it’s actually him. 

Smut? Spicy in the amount, but whichever inebriated rodent wrote the smutty sections, it needed more practice prior to publication. 

Other thoughts? This was horrible on so many levels. There was a My Immortal level of dedication to describing the character’s clothes every single time they appeared. It was funny for a while, but then it didn’t stop and got annoying. There’s a good premise to this novel, in the hands of a skilled writer it might have been very interesting. Alas, that is not the case. 

Final Grade? DON’T

I Married a Dragon (Prime Mating Agency #6) by Regine Abel

This will be a sort of part 1 of 2 post as I read the two most recent Prime Mating Agency books but felt they deserved their own respective posts.

Regine Abel is another top 5 author of the monster fucker genre for me. Her plots are always interesting, her monsters/aliens are loveable, strange, and always come with a wealth of background and culture to them (plus they pack some series heat below the belt), and I find she has easily likeable female leads that range across the board in personality. Her world building is outstanding and probably my favorite out of anyone's so far. Plus, I love the illustrations that you can find at the end of her books to really help build the imagination.

Kaida, an enforcer with the UPO (United Planetary Organization), is a tough, duty-driven cookie with a soft heart and a propensity to struggle with letting go of her human societal norms. To be fair, I'm not exactly one to want to walk around naked in public either, whether it's an alien world or not. Despite her hesitations, after discovering she is the one and only person who can aid the Shadow Lord Cedros, Kaida slowly but surely adapts to a slogan of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" as she signs up for a temporary marriage to the big guy. Her key word is temporary as she wasn't exactly anticipating this derailment of her life in the middle of a mission...

Cedros is a Shadow Lord of his world, practically a god to his people as he protects those who get lost in the veil, defeats the vicious aqrats and whatever else may lie in the darkest shadows, and copes with his isolation from society. As a Shadow Lord he faces great discomfort without his ejaya, the only being who can soothe the toxins he encounters in battle and aids in keeping him balanced around those who cannot control their powers. He is socially awkward, adorably innocent, and fiercely protective. He is one of my favorite monstrous males from the series. His innocent honesty and bluntness create some of the most endearing moments that had me kicking my legs like a schoolgirl.

The smut is a bit slow to show up as this is a slow burn, but once it does... It's worth it. While it's not got the most toe-curling, in-depth description I think it fits perfectly within the rest of the story and there is come creativity used between Cedros and Kaida in order to get things to fit.

Outside of the focal point on Kaida and Cedros' romance lies the secondary plot of the shadow obsidian smuggling. Kaida initially agrees to this temporary marriage in order to help out Cedros but also in order to protect the UPO as she works to discover why shadow obsidian, used to open portals, is somehow ending up in the hands of those outside of Cedros' world.

For such immense plots that could easily be expanded on and brought into even greater detail Regine Abel does an amazing job of keeping everything well rounded and evenly paced in these 267 pages. Out of the entire Prime Mating Agency series I have to say this book is my absolute favorite. An innocent but strong male lead, a protective and hesitant-to-love female lead, a slow burn romantic plot aided by an interesting side plot, truly this is some of her best work. I highly recommend this entire series and will be reviewing the next addition as well. 10/10.

Would I read again? Absolutely! I want all the Cedros content, I love him so much.

Would I recommend! 1000000000% Please check out the whole series!
