Maid for You

A Lamia Romance for Men

De: Virgil Knightley, Peter North

Narrado por: Raya Kane, Richard Brock

Who knew life after disaster could be so ssssssweet?

Arthur Cain was a hero to his city, the most accomplished and respected of the firefighters in his entire district. But when a call comes in from the so-called "Halfbreed Heights", the monsterfolk part of the city, Arthur's life gets flip-turned upside down.

Though he saved the life of a matronly lamia that day, he was also partially crippled and forced into early retirement. Now unable to fit the image of her personal superman, Arthur's wife divorces him and leaves him to move into a cheaper home in the same monsterfolk slum that caused his current situation.

To satisfy his daughter's anxiety, he reluctantly agrees to take on a caregiver from the monsterfolk-run service, Maid For You. The twist? She's the serpentfolk daughter of the woman whose life he saved. It ends up being the best decision he's ever made.

Love the story

Another great slice of life mono romance with a dark edge. The character dynamics are so well done even in a short book you feel the connections they all share whether it's positive or negative. The build up of the romance was entertaining and the constant dark build up behind the scenes just made it enjoyable. I can't wait for book two even with it following new characters.

Great listen

Great mono romance with spice and snek lady, heck ya. Good performance by the VA's.

A great monoromance for men

Well written and well acted. This book is a very cozy read despite the "villainess" being as horrible and narcissistic as she is. If you like other monoromances for men like Would You Love a Monster Girl or Headpats After Dark, you'll definitely like this. It's a really great listen. A few mistakes in the audio, but nothing that takes you out of it. The performances are above average (I love this duo) by a lot. Looking forward to book 2! Keep it up North and Knightley!

10 out of 5

Good listen. Pacing is nice. Characters are likeable, story is excellent. Highly recommend. There is some spicy parts but it works with the story.

Excellent Overall

The characters and their dynamic together were excellent. I really enjoyed it being a slow-burn type of romance. It did happen quickly enough that I can't really call it an actual slow burn, but it gives those vibes.

Any complaints I have are really minor, but they do hit enough that it keeps it from being a five-star for me. The first real complaint I have is not really getting hardly any family life dynamic at the end. Sure, there's a scene, but I would really have loved more of this, especially when Tanya was still a teenager. Another complaint I have is that we didn't really get to see any interaction between her and his friends. I guess we did eventually do a little bit with Mark, and that was great, but I'm left wanting more. I would have also loved to have seen more interactions with Tanya and Sansa.

Honestly, now that I'm writing all this out, I think my biggest complaints all roll up into one simple thing: they were too isolated aside from any other character interactions together, aside from a few minor interactions with Tanya.
