Wed to the Ice Giant

Arranged Monster Mates

De: Layla Fae

Narrado por: Ryan Stone, Veronica Fox

She is tiny, frightened, and all mine. I won't let her get away.

As king of the ice giants, I must have heirs. But our customs do not satisfy me. I do not want a giantess who will bear me a child and then leave to be with another. I would much rather pursue a union the human way: find a partner who will share my bed, bear my children, and stay by my side.

Until death do us part.

One drop of blood is all it takes to get a match. And when I see her, my cool blood rushes faster in a daze of heat. Only one thought is clear in my mind: she belongs to me. I must claim her before my subjects to prove once and for all this female will not take lovers. She will be mine forever.

I will show her vigorously how different I am from puny human males. And once she knows what it means to be with the king of the giants, she will never want to leave.

Contains mature themes.

Better than I thought it would be!!

So glad, I gave this book a shot. Would be nice, if it was a little longer .. I do recommend!

Amazing!

Perfectly executed for a short story. Had a satisfying build up and conclusion. Narrators were passionate and complimented eachothers performances.

Not much to this except the sex

The sex was fine, I suppose, with too much emphasis on filling her womb and seeing her tummy distended because of his finger, giant popsicle, or fluids. I wanted more story to go with the instant lust, like just one scene where they get to know each other or shared a common interest.

The first half was nothing more than a public deflowering immediately after meeting/wedding Aldrich. The second half was them apart for thirty days while we get info dumps about the alien, yet mostly medieval or Victorian sounding, society. Why Aldrich as king couldn’t take even a single night off from trade negotiations to be with his wife made zero sense.

Two random oddities that bugged me: (1) considering the current environment, Snowflake is an unfortunate pet name, and (2j an alien king talking like Earth alphas, with F bombs and “your p is mine!” dialogue made it tough to escape into the pretend alien fantasy. It was fine for such a short novella, but any longer and I’d feel cheated on substance.
