FROM GOODREADS: Tossing a coin in a mysterious well seems like a harmless way to cope with being ditched on a mountain—until every impossibly hot man in town starts competing for one woman’s attention in this steamy short story by USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Lemming. 

Lucy Sawyer’s wish for true love lands her in an enchanted town where the men are supernatural, the chemistry is off the charts, and everyone wants to date her. But they say that things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon Lucy may need to decide if she’s willing to pay the cost of her happily ever after. 

Kimberly Lemming’s My Boyfriends Are All Monsters is part of Scared Sexy, a deliciously dark collection of Halloween romance where things that go bump in the night might just steal your heart. These seductive stand-alone stories blend chills and heat in the perfect Halloween treat—each designed to be devoured in one sitting.

MY THOUGHTS: When I saw this series of Amazon Originals were releasing in time for Halloween, I thought it would be cute to add them to my October reads.  I mean I know monster romance is a thing and have enjoyed a few here and there so might as well put my KU subscription to good use. Since I have read three previous books by this author, I figured this was a good place to start. Let me just say, this may have even been too weird for me.

Lucy is hiking with her boyfriend and a group of friends when she decides she has had enough of him and ditches him.  Unfortunately, that means she has to go back down the mountain alone.  Along the way she finds a mysterious well, tosses a coin, and makes a wish. Remember the old adage, be careful what you wish for?  Lucy may have wanted to put more thought into that wish.

This book is a quick fast-paced read with lots of monster sex and little else. And technically is should be title "MY Boyfriend is ALL the Monsters."  I pride myself on enjoying weird books and not being a prude, but this might have been too much for even me.  At least it was short and at times humorous which saved it some.  Pick this one up at your own risk.
