The Monster in Me: A Holiday Monster Romance
This holiday season, Christmas gets a little bit naughty, and love just might sneak onto the list.When there's a suddden vacancy for the role of Santa, Christmas is left without a leader. Penelope, the Head Elf, is determined to save the day. But she needs a magical figurehead to make it happen.
Enter Krampus, the billionaire playboy and the last monster anyone would expect to step into Santa’s boots. But as luck would have it, he’s the only one with the magic to pull it off.
The problem? Krampus has zero interest in spreading holiday cheer. Desperate to save Christmas, Penelope is willing to do whatever it takes to get the monster's attention. And once she has it, she'll stop at nothing to keep it.
As the days pass, Penelope finds herself drawn to his devilish charm, and Krampus starts to realize there’s more to Christmas—and to Penelope—than he ever imagined.

I loved this story of Krampus and Penelope! There was definitely some surprises inside this one! I’m usually pretty good at predicting books but woah! I love how descriptive it is so that you can fully imagine it in your head. Never thought I’d find myself reading about Krampus but here we are! It was such a good read, I want a physical copy of this one AND beaneath the monster for my “trophy shelf” (bookshelf) lol. I’d be proud to display such great stories! I love fun little reads.

Oh my Krampus!
I didn’t think we this series could get better than Grim’s story (and cinnamon candy cane goodness), but I’ve been proven wrong!
This is a wonderful take on the story of Krampus, and his red velvet deliciousness (seriously! Who doesn’t love red velvet!?) when I say this is spicy…. It is knock your socks (and panties) off HOT!!
Do yourself a favor and read this book!
Please give me more of this series!

I didn't think I could love another holiday monster like Grim, but Kram has proven me wrong!
Kram is the perfect combination of gentleman and monster. He gives off Lucifer from the TV show Lucifer vibes! And then Penelope, the people pleasing elf who just wants to be selfish for once in her life. I loved both of their characters and even loved me some Peter!
Great holiday read for anyone starting out in the monster romance world! Looking forward to reading more by this author!

Took him a while but he got there.
I loved the first book and this one was good but I won’t lie Krampus was a little annoying at first. The man was so self centered it was ridiculous. I wanted to love him but I had to wait and see if he was redeemable.
I like Penelope loved how she stood on business, and stood up to Krampus when she needed too. I especially enjoyed the jokes she had.
Steamy, funny and likable 7.9/10 ⭐️

I’m not entirely sure why I enjoyed this one more than the first. Maybe because it’s a sequel and the world was already built giving it more background. Maybe it’s because there seemed to be an actual plot to go with the smut of a goal outside the romance. Whatever the case may be, Krampus and Penelope were fun duo to read about.

It was ok. Their first time together had zero chemistry.

I didn’t like the characters in this as much as in the first book, but for a quick holiday read where one of the characters is Krampus, it’s a good quick read.

Christmas fun
This book is a wonderful bundle of smut, growth and Christmas in a small package. I couldn't put it down.

A bit too much going on IMO
The story has potential, but it just felt like there was too much jam packed in it and I feel a case of whiplash coming on.

Such a good book! Only my second monster romance but I loved it! It was short, sweet and spicy, and to the point.
