Catching His Eye: Monsters of Moonvale Novella Author Emily Antoinette

Book Review

5 out of 5 stars!


"After all, I'm not exactly a catch. I'm a monster. A cyclops, to be precise, so not even one of the hot kinds." - Ren



Everyone knows the pains of the dating world, which has only gotten worse in modern times. Dating apps galore! For Ren the rejection or no matches at all is even worse when he's tried both monster AND human dating apps with no luck!



Ren just wants a mate like his other monster friends in Moonvale! He wants romance, love, and to be able to cherish someone. Luckily watching his favorite camgirl and interacting with her through chat keeps his spirits up. He was content with just being a silent viewer, but his orange cat had other plans in mind. An accident from Mango places Ren in a private call with his spicy camgirl! What will our big sweetheart of a cyclops do?!


"I'm still a giant, but inside I'm a marshmallow." - Ren


Emily's books just have something about them that I love. They make me feel warm and happy inside as I get to meet and understand new MCs from her! Ren is definitely a book boyfriend! I remember meeting him here and there in the "Monsters of Moonvale" series and wanting to give him a big hug! I'm glad he finally got his own story with an HEA!


Emma's a woman who knows her worth, is confident, and loves being a camgirl. I enjoyed reading the dual POVs and understanding more about Emma and Ren. The chemistry between them is perfect and I loved how Emma spoke to Ren. Ren being nervous and unsure of what to do. Ren's such a gentleman and with multiple scenes I found myself respecting him more. They're a perfect match and I loved watching them figure that out.


This is a fast paced, very short novella! Language is present and with Emma being a spicy camgirl there's some crude remarks. Fat shamming from mean viewers because Emma's a plus sized woman with curves. She blocks them immediately and moves on with her show. There's mention of parental death and a parent being treated for cancer remission. Things are kept light with this novella but do check TWs.


"Big and sweet is exactly my type. Not that I'm looking." - Emma


The heat happens pretty quickly after Mango's matchmaking endeavor. It's very spicy and when the two are finally together it's yummy. Magical lube to the rescue because of size difference. I liked how with Ren's internal monologue he never mentioned once or hinted at wanting Emma to quit her job if they ever became an item. Emma loves monsters and I'm sure she would've thrown Ren over her shoulder and marched to her bedroom if it was physically possible! Comical moments throughout that made me laugh!


I want to go back and read the other books within this series. Max and Mona's story for sure because the man is so supportive of his friends! This novella can be read as a standalone, no spoilers for previous books! I will get to the other reads by Emily because I love her writing!


Enjoy the high heat, low stakes romance with Mango who knows how to make things look like accidents. She deserves all the treats after this! Don't forget to give the author some stars!
