Monstrous Meet Cutes
by Guff, Wendi
Monstrous Meet Cutes is a collection that takes the absurdity of modern dating and pushes it into the supernatural realm. It is a series of short, snappy stories where humans find themselves in forced proximity with creatures who are, quite frankly, not human at all. The tone is delightfully lighthearted and leans into the humor of opposites attracting, whether that means navigating a misunderstanding with a tentacled suitor or finding common ground with a misunderstood beast. The pacing is quick, making it the perfect choice for readers who want to sample different dynamics without committing to a long series. If you enjoy your romance with a side of quirkiness and are curious about how traditional tropes like enemies-to-lovers function when one participant has horns or scales, this anthology is a breath of fresh air.
