Violet and Rourke are great together, and Violet's financial struggles are all too relatable。 The monsters are likeable characters, and I think I need a Rourke of my own。 Adorable monster romanceI loved this book!

Ruby Dixon,
Whaaaaaat did I just read and why was it so great? It's exactly what you think it is, but it's not creepy? And the hero is an absolute gem。 This is so sweet and smutty。 I stayed up far too late reading this and now I need to read everything else this author has written。 Whaaaaaat did I just read and why was it so great?

Gemma Voss,
I read this in one day。 It is the perfect combination of sweet and kinky。 This book is fantasy romance escapism at its best, a cozy yet erotic story。 Coffee shops populated with fairytale creatures, the humor of a pharmaceutical company that milks minotaur cocks to make magical viagra, and the sweetest, most earnest workplace flirtation。 The hero is a gentleman with a sexy assertiveness, and the heroine is shy, somewhat lacking self-esteem, and harboring an intense horniness for bull cock that c I read this in one day。 It is the perfect combination of sweet and kinky。 This book is fantasy romance escapism at its best, a cozy yet erotic story。 Coffee shops populated with fairytale creatures, the humor of a pharmaceutical company that milks minotaur cocks to make magical viagra, and the sweetest, most earnest workplace flirtation。 The hero is a gentleman with a sexy assertiveness, and the heroine is shy, somewhat lacking self-esteem, and harboring an intense horniness for bull cock that clearly anyone picking up this book can relate to。 Looooved。 It's just pure fun and its got hot sex。 What more can you ask for? 。。。more
Carol Gnz,
Fun story I smiled as I read this cross cultural story。 It seemed well edited and flowed well。 I loved how the relationship between the two main characters progressed。 I am really looking forward to reading the next story in the series。
Taylor,
STFU because this book had no business being this adorable! When I found out about the plot line I honestly had questions but was pleasantly surprised 😂🥰 Only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is the jumping back and forth at times confused me…
tysephine,
A good, slow-burn romance with pitch-perfect banter between the MCs。

Hot as heck and sweet as pie all at once! Honestly didn't expect all the feels this gave me! Violet is a delight and her relationship with Rourke is filled with communication and pining and delight。 Hot as heck and sweet as pie all at once! Honestly didn't expect all the feels this gave me!

2。5 stars。 I'm a little annoyed at this。 This was definitely the opposite of insta-love。I loved Rourke, he was a gentleman。 He took Violet out, spoiled her, held off for a while before getting busy because he wanted her to know that he wanted her, and it wasn't just a physical thing。 It was sexy and sweet。 But the whole story was scaredy cat Violet saying it's too soon to feel this way or are we rushing into this too fast。 Then after months of dating and spending the weekends together, she is de 2。5 stars。 I'm a little annoyed at this。 This was definitely the opposite of insta-love。I loved Rourke, he was a gentleman。 He took Violet out, spoiled her, held off for a while before getting busy because he wanted her to know that he wanted her, and it wasn't just a physical thing。 It was sexy and sweet。 But the whole story was scaredy cat Violet saying it's too soon to feel this way or are we rushing into this too fast。 Then after months of dating and spending the weekends together, she is determined it's crazy to even think of moving in with him and she needs her own place for at least a year lease。 Even though Rourke had told her, he's older and learned from his previous marriage what he wants, what makes him happy, and that Violet is it。 Violet knows she loves him and wants to spend the rest of her life with Rourke but it's ludicrous to admit that this quickly (months and months)。 Now I get aggravated at instalove books, where the H and h are madly in love after 3 days and married 2 weeks in kinda thing。 But this was so anti that。 Instead prolonging the inevitable for no real reason。 It aggravated me worse。 I mean I just read the whole book of Rourke and Violet's slow build relationship spanning months and in the end my HEA was only a statement from Rourke that he's glad Violet's one year lease was so short and not to unpack everything。 NO declarations of love either, though both definitely feel it。 I mean who says you have to date a year before moving in or years before getting married? Within two months of meeting my hubby, we were married, and just celebrated our 18 year anniversary。 So I feel jipped。 I got a slight HEA。 No "I love you"s。 I got a gee he's great。 Well gee, I didn't think it was that great。 。。。more
The Doctor's Companion,
File this one under GINORMOUSLY PLEASANT SURPRISE。This was my first foray into monster romance, and I really enjoyed it。 I didn’t know what to expect, but this was better than anything I could’ve been expecting。Rourke feels like such a real guy, it was easy to follow their romance。 My favorite scene is when Violet learns his gag reflex is weak 😆 I laughed out loud。Super low angst, stern brunch daddy, average heroine。 It was a perfect combination。
Leigh Kramer,
Finally another monster romance I can recommend freely! This leans all the way in with a minotaur MMC and he is indeed a MINOTAUR。 Violet becomes a milking technician and falls for one of her clients。 *waggles eyebrows* This was freaking hot。 Much hotter than Girls Weekend, the author’s debut。 Based on the set up, I was expecting erotic romance or erotica but it’s more like a really hot fantasy romance。 Whatever it is, it sure worked for me。 There was such anticipation in finding out Mr。 Hot Min Finally another monster romance I can recommend freely!

How can Violet be sure he’s interested in her and not just what her hands can do? I really enjoyed watching things come together for these two。 This was such a fun world to learn about and I’m looking forward to seeing where the series goes from here。 It was nice to see the crossover connection to Girls Weekend too!Character notes: Violet is a 25 year old white human and milking technician。 (view spoiler)[Rourke (hide spoiler)] is 10ish years older, a Minotaur, and a businessman。 This is set in Cambric Creek。Content notes: discussion of whether job is sex work, scene that could be read as sexual harassment by client (not the love interest), death of great-aunt (like a grandmother to FMC), on page sex, public sex, cock milking, size difference, penis commentary, gender essentialism (particularly around equating penises to men), ableist language, discussion of other clients with MMC (breaking confidentiality?), alcohol, internet stalking, diet culture, divorced two years ago, mom described as having untreated anxiety disorder, student loan and credit card debt, references to erectile dysfunction, reference to a neighbor with the start of dementia 。。。more

Such a fun, spicy read!CM Nacosta has such a fun and refreshing writing style that matches my internal dialogue。 I feel like she's narrating my own fantasies with her style。 This story is a "relatable" journey (well you know relatable, but not seeing as how its a minotaur milking farm!) about a woman finding her footing- and what a spicy journey it is!

Wow, that book was a complete delight!! I started reading this novel with little expectation and no real knowledge of the plot。 I must say I was more than pleasantly surprised with this book! It was a very sweet slow-burn with a super spicy side。 Packed full of relatable themes and a super creative story。 I definitely recommend you take a chance on this book。

Milking MinotaursOk, so the premise of this book seems a bit farfetched and silly - milking Minotaurs for their jizz, which is used in pharmaceutical applications。 Seriously? But I have to say that this book is an absolute delight and a total breath of fresh air。 There's a seriously tight storyline and so much heat it will make your Kindle melt。 Fully fleshed out characters and superb world building, all add up to make this book a unique and addicting read。 I was literally drawn in after the fir Milking MinotaursOk, so the premise of this book seems a bit farfetched and silly - milking Minotaurs for their jizz, which is used in pharmaceutical applications。 Seriously?

Tracy Musgrove,
What in the。。。 Okay。。。 i really was not expecting this book to be as fabulous as it was。 I was sent the link by a book club friend and was immediately in, but once I read the reviews I started it and did not stop。This was an intriguing slow burn but it is nice and steamy and leas weird than you are imagining。
Becca,
This was so fun! Not at all what I was expecting。 Loved and was cheering for the main characters。
Ashton Reads,
Gah, this was so good! The perfect mix of sweet, slow burn, and 🔥 steam。 The heroine’s post-grad financial dilemma was one many of us millennials can relate to, so I was rooting for her to make it on her own and not have to admit defeat and move back to her boring hometown。 I adored her character and how her sunshine personality balanced out the stern brunch daddy that was the hero。 😏 Add minotaurs to the list of monsters I am apparently now a fan of 😍
Stacy,
LOVED ITThis was a great mix of adorable and strange, and made my own little weird heart sing! It was also very steamy, which my pervert’s soul particularly enjoyed! The basic run down is a love story between a human and a minotaur, and I loved every word of it。 They meet in an unusual job that I sincerely wish I had, and when they click its a sweetly romantic, slightly daddy dom story that you didn’t know you needed。 I am so buying a copy!

SurprisingThe cover and title of this book make the subject matter very clear…but they do suggest that this book would be erotic instead of a true romance。 And that’s just not true! This is definitely a romantic story, and a well-written one at that!

Carrie,
I really love when a book serves up sweetness while still being very hot。 Add in one of my current favorite genres which I can only refer to as monster fucking and I am here for it! The hero is a minotaur while the heroine is a human。 Also Rourke gives me strong stern brunch daddy vibes and my love for SBDs is only rivaled by my love of cinnamon rolls。

I didn’t know what to expect with a title like “Milking Farm”, but I really liked this book。 And my experience with Minotaurs is as actual monsters of Greek mythology。 But in this book they are actual people, with normal lives, jobs and families。 I really liked the relationship unfolding between Violet and her Minotaur。 How gentlemanly he is and how much they both care。And yes, the spice is great!
