If you’ve ever found yourself swooning over a beast with a heart of gold or wondering what’s beyond traditional romance tropes, welcome to the world of monster romance. In this episode of the What to Read Next Podcast, Laura is joined by Elizabeth from Monster Romance Reviews to dive deep into the growing phenomenon that is monster romance. From ice planets to orc mountains, things are about to get spicy, strange, and seriously fun.
What Is Monster Romance?
Monster romance typically involves at least one love interest who is not human. That can include aliens, orcs, centaurs, minotaurs, mothmen—you name it. These books stretch the boundaries of romance and fantasy, often blending in humor, steamy tension, and surprisingly thoughtful emotional arcs.
As Elizabeth says: if they’re not human, you’re probably in monster romance territory.
Why Readers Love It
Monster romance exploded in popularity during 2020, and it’s not hard to see why. In a world filled with uncertainty, monster romance offered readers:
- Pure escapism
- Pleasure-centered storytelling
- Unapologetically creative sex scenes
- Nostalgic nods to the 90s (hello, Beauty and the Beast)
- A chance to explore new tropes in a fantasy setting
Beginner’s Guide to Monster Romance
New to the genre? Start here:
Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
Short, addictive, and set in a brutal alien world, this series serves as a gateway for many readers. Think survival, fated mates, and blue alien men with vibrating anatomy. There are over 20 books in the series, so prepare to binge.
Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta
What if minotaur spunk was the key ingredient in pharmaceutical Viagra? Enter a monster romance that blends corporate satire, kink, and one unexpectedly sweet connection.
For Advanced Readers: Darker Monster Worlds
Orc Sworn Series by Finley Fenn
This dark, immersive series features intense emotional arcs, complex world-building, and explicit content. Each orc clan has its own customs, from political intrigue to mafia-style abductions. As Elizabeth puts it, Ruby Dixon is Austen; Finley Fenn is Brontë.
Note: This series includes trauma, violence, and explicit themes. Check trigger warnings.
Queer Monster Romance & Room to Grow
While male/male monster romance is slowly gaining traction, female/female and nonbinary-inclusive romances are still underrepresented. Elizabeth encourages more authors to write across the gender and sexuality spectrum because—let’s be honest—monster romance has no rules.
Monster Anatomy: No Limits
One of the most creative joys of monster romance? The anatomy. Whether it’s vibrating ridges, double appendages, or unconventional shapes, the only rule is: make it fun, make it feel good, and forget realism. It’s sex-positivity turned up to 11.
Deeper Cuts & Fun Picks
Sweet Berries by C.M. Nascosta
A mothman romance that’s funny, tender, and wildly inventive (wait until you hear about the penis).
The Centaur in My Forest by L.V. Lane
A centaur who doesn’t shift into human form? You’ll have questions—and they’ll all be answered with creative props and surprising tenderness.
