Bound by the Basilisk

Monstrous Deals, Book 5

By: Ami Wright

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson, Mason Lloyd

Would you make a deal with a deadly basilisk?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or that's what they say. That's why I love my job as an escort with Monstrous Deals. When the billionaire property mogul who's just opened a new casino in Heartstone tracks me down and demands to be my next client, I'm thrilled. He is far more handsome than my regular clients and dangerously charming.

The catch: Erserro is an ancient, deadly basilisk who can kill with a single look.

There are rules. I have to be blindfolded and I can never look at him when he touches me. That seems OK at first, but when feelings start to grow, I can't help but long for a closer look at this creature who gives me more pleasure than anyone has ever done. He claims he's a monster. That he's cursed. But the more I get to know him, the more I'd risk everything to uncover a treasure that might be worth more than any diamond.

Contains mature themes.

Perhaps one or two appendages too far…

I’m having fun with the monster variety, for the most part. In this one, the basilisk’s lethal gaze kept me interested to see the HEA solution. But the number of extra, er, appendages for her pleasure, moved this too close to animal sex. Combine that with an overkill of Os, and the accompanying moans and groans in the narration, and the naughty bits were rather awkward. Despite the not-my-thing nooky, Tamsin and Erserro’s story was a sweet one.
