Fiercely, she nipped his full lower lip with her teeth, and he pushed back, nuzzled her mouth with the softness of his, his breath hot and sweet and slightly salty. Like the sea, Luna thought

As he’d held her limp and helpless in his tentacles, he’d felt so much love for her it was like an arrow hitting both his hearts.

Tropes:
- Enemies to lovers
- He falls first
- Hurt comfort
- Chronic pain rep
- Tentacle play
- Found family
- An ADHD dolphin
- Feisty heroine

Beautiful balance between spice and plot…and of course we have tentacles!

The Kraken Games is the fifth book in the Motham City Monsters series.

It is the story of Luna, a human, and Kai, a kraken, who compete against each other in the Kraken Games.

I’ve enjoyed some of the other books in the Motham City Monsters because of their great balance between steam and dealing with some heavy themes. This book didn’t disappoint.

I loved the characters of Kai and Luna so much. Their situations and insecurities seemed almost unsurmountable, so it was great to see their battle for their HEA.

We also had lots of steamy scenes with interesting kraken anatomy in the mix!

The Kracken Games is book 5 of the Motham City Monster series, a series of sweet and cozy monster romances. The Kracken games follows Kai the Kracken and Luna the human who are both competing in the Kracken Games.

I have really been enjoying the Motham City Monsters series and you had me sold at tentacles.
First of all I loved Kai, he was such a sweetheart, I enjoyed his backstory.
And I really don’t like saying this, but I didn’t really like Luna, I totally empathise with her backstory and why she was the way she was and I tried really hard to like her but I just couldn’t. But in saying that I know some readers will love her, this is just my personal opinion.
Overall the story was good, a quick, fun, sweet and cozy read with some sensitive topics, so be mindful of that.

If you love cozy monsters romances you will enjoy this, did I mention TENTACLES!
