Every other month (or so), our Book Club picks a different trope or theme and we all bring a book that meets the criteria. It’s a fun way to build up our TBR piles and we thought you might enjoy their recommendations too!
This month we did something a little different. We searched the internet for the weirdest and most wild titles the romance genre has to offer. And boy did our book club deliver! We’re still blushing just thinking about it. While we can’t say all of these are good reads, we can confirm they are wild! Here are the books we talked about this month:
Unhinged by Vera Valentine
Danger’s Come A-Knocking….
Someone’s been watching Tana closely, but he’s a lot closer than she realizes. From intimate moments to lazy afternoons on the couch, he’s secretly seen it all – and fallen for her along the way. The problem is that someone else is watching too, and his obsession with Tana is a lot more dangerous.
When a man claiming to be her front door enters her dreams to warn her about an imminent threat to her life, Tana initially chalks it up to her weird late-night snacks. But she rethinks things when her earnest visitor insists he’s also ready to protect her – in exchange for one hell of a favor.
When Tana trades her best line of defense for an unlikely supernatural ally, the threat lurking beyond her apartment hallway starts getting desperate as the law closes in. Can her inhuman companion save her from the worst of humanity, or is it too late for both of them?
Alien Meat Market by Lizzy Bequin
Series Name: Sold to the Raksha, #1
Yesterday I was a human being.
Today I’m nothing but a piece of meat.
There was a time when I doubted the existence of aliens. Now I’m a believer.
I’m alone on the stage, vulnerable, frightened, sweating in the spotlight. Meanwhile, a crowd of alien monsters are casting their bids.
The prize? Me.
This place is a meat market. Literally. To these alien beasts I’m nothing but a delicacy. A tasty morsel of exotic food.
Except for the aliens who actually end up claiming me.
The Raksha.
Five terrifying purple-skinned males, all rippling muscles and growly alpha dominance. These guys have a different kind of hunger smoldering in their orange eyes.
They own me now, body and soul. I’m their pet, their plaything. Theirs to use, to share, to dominate as they see fit.
It turns out the Raksha have a problem. Their females are all gone, wiped out by a deadly plague. Their entire species is now doomed to extinction.
For some reason, they think I can help. And they’re about to show me how.
I’d say my chances of ever returning to Earth are slim to none.
By the time the Raksha are done with me, maybe I won’t want to.
Riv’s Sanctuary by A.G. Wilde
When she’s sold by the zookeeper, her life takes a turn she wasn’t expecting. She has no idea where she’ll end up till she’s brought to a sanctuary owned by a tall blue hunk of an alien called Riv.
Riv’s life is quiet and peaceful in a place as far away from civilization as he can manage. So when an annoying chatterbox of a human ends up on his doorstep, he’s less than pleased. The human disrupts his life and his solitude and he can’t wait to get rid of her.
He’s not interested in helping her, and he’s definitely not interested in love.
Except…she’s managed to wheedle her way in and suddenly those barriers around his heart don’t seem so strong anymore.
He has two options: Let her go.
Or let her in.
Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
Series Name: Ice Planet Barbarians, #1
You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women – including me – on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I’ve met? He’s big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me…
The Red by Tiffany Reisz
Mona Lisa St. James made a deathbed promise that she would do anything to save her mother’s art gallery. Unfortunately, not only is The Red painted red, but it’s in the red.
Just as she realizes she has no choice but to sell it, a mysterious man comes in after closing time and makes her an offer: He will save The Red if she agrees to submit to him for the period of one year.
The man is handsome, English, and terribly tempting…but surely her mother didn’t mean for Mona to sell herself to a stranger. Then again, she did promise to do anything to save The Red…
Snuggle by Sabrina Cross
Series Name: Yarn and Monsters, #2
A True Love Spell Gone Wrong.
Jasmine is too busy to go to Hell and she’s definitely too busy for demon antics. But when her demon “fairy godmother” shows up, everything is on the line. Does she have what it takes to get out of the Devil’s bargain or is she doomed to face the flames?
Content Considerations: Snuggle is a paranormal romance that involves a woman getting it on with a stuffed animal. This book is very weird and is not for everyone.
Robot Daddy by Allysa Hart and Rayanna Jamison
Series Name: Fantastical Daddy Doms, #4
Robo- Rob. The perfect boyfriend. Guaranteed to wow judgmental parents, spoiled little sisters, and pesky ex-boyfriends.
What do you do when your little sister is marrying your ex and you need a date for the engagement party? Well, I don’t know what you’d do, but I got wine drunk and built a boyfriend in the robotics lab where I work. Enter a six foot hunk of metal and silicone who randomly quotes obscure movies, turns me to mush with his smile and has a maaaajor daddy complex…
What could possibly go wrong?
Robot Daddy is what you get when you combine an artificial intelligence alpha male, a desperate heroine, a family event, some hilarious one-liners, a marinara explosion, and a bionic multifunctional piece of male pleasure equipment.
This story is a safe, sexy Daddy Dom romance with an unconventional HEA.

And Jennifer would rather choke on him and be done because if Racoon keeps pushing, she might develop a case of feelings. He’s just too perfect with that masculine physique, uncanny eyes, and a filthy mouth. Except, Racoon is not what he seems.
And falling for a monster man with a sack full of magic is the last thing Jen needs.
Storm by Eva Delaney
Series Name: Silver Skates, #5
From the creator of Sapphire and Juniper comes a brand new romance that you’ll be embarrassed to read in public.

Meet Riley Storm, a raptor shifter biker chick. Why does she shift into a dinosaur? She doesn’t know. But her new fated mates are going to help her discover her forgotten past.
Her mates include:
– A penis snake shifter.
– An octopus shifter who throws his dick at people he likes (some octopuses really do that!).
– A small pixie whose cock grows when he tells lies.
– A vegan necromancer who raises burgers from the dead, so she can create an army of zombie cows (no cock here! Storm is Silver Spring’s first bisexual heroine).
When a group of alien hunters roll into town, convinced that the local supes are dangerous space invaders, Storm has to stop them with help from her mates and their not-quite-super powers. It’s a good thing she’s terrifying all on her own.
Intolerant by Elena Dawne

I can’t hire her.
The woman has no boundaries, no filters, and no freaking limits.
And my overwhelming desire to plow her would likely prove problematic if she became my assistant.
Bo Luxom is everything I never knew I wanted in a woman.
She’s sugar and spice, and she’s stronger than I could ever pretend to be despite all my efforts… She’s also eight-months round because her “breeding kink went too far,” and it’s doing things to me.
Down on her luck, Bo needs this job — and as much as she’ll hate admitting it, she needs me too.
But I need her more.
Basically allergic to life, I’ve subsisted on a lonely diet of exclusion and restrictions with my only strength coming from maintaining total control.
Dominance and rules were my only tools until Bo took the lead and gave me something better — something I’ve always coveted. Kindness.
It’s the most potent weapon of seduction I’ve ever encountered, and I’m hooked.
I will kneel at her feet if she wills it. For her, I’ll surender my ordered life into beautiful chaos.
She’s everything I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding so I could remain strong, but I opened my locked doors for a beautiful stranger, and now I’m in the weakest position imaginable…
I’m f*¢king in love.
And I’ll do anything to keep her.
