Checked Out By The Chupacabra - Wendi Guff

 

There are few things more satisfying than a cosy, smutty romance featuring a librarian. One of those things is a cosy, smutty romance featuring a librarian who reads monster fucker books and finds herself madly in love with a Chupacabra. 

Librarian Odette, who suffers from MS has given up on ever finding love, filling her time with book boyfriends instead, until the handsome Chupacabra, Chente, walks through the library doors and changes her life. While they are instantly attracted to each other, they fall deeper and deeper for each other while Odette teaches Chente how to read.

The story revolves heavily around trust and vulnerability. With Odette’s condition, she believes she is not worthy of attention or affection, she is destined to remain single and that’s ok, she’s used to it. Chente sees past what Odette feels are blocks and wants the woman she is, not the woman she thinks he should want. Chente’s vulnerability comes from his inability to read, which Odette treats as nothing to be ashamed of and guides him the best she can. 

The acceptance and understanding featured in this book is palpable. While Odette accepts her lot in life, Chente goes above and beyond to help, researching ways on lessening her pain, making her more comfortable, and making her happy, showing her that there are ways she can live her dreams. There are a lot of feelings in this book, which I wasn’t expecting. I open a book to enjoy a spicy romance and find myself somewhat bereft, a little blue. 

Speaking of spice, it’s good. For such a short book a decent amount of page space is dedicated to some good old fashioned monster fucking. As well as the scenes between our couple, we get excerpts from books Odette is reading, and I need to know, will we get those in full? I’m asking for a friend. I will watch future releases from the author with hopes and prayer in my heart that I get more of that wonderful smut. 

I will admit I have been lax on not considering sexy chupacabras more, but Guff makes them more than a little appealing, I think the only thing that would make me stop is the blood red cum, but I’m pretty sure I’d get over it quickly enough when I remembered the spiny cock. Despite the heat, Chente always makes sure Odette is ok, she’s not in too much pain and the aftercare (indeed the pre-care, half hour massage before sounds bliss) is spot on, almost as arousing as the fucking itself. 

There’s a very small amount of drama within the plot, involving an accident, but the focus is mainly on Odette and Chente, this is a story about a building relationship, everything else outside of it seems blurred. 

This is a short, sweet look into a new romance, where they are each other’s firsts, they really get each other and you know it’s all going to be ok. I think this is where Guff shines within her writing. We’re not getting a story so much as a brief view into a love story. We see the beginnings, the middle and then it tapers off with what we hope is a happily ever after though everything certainly points in that direction. Maybe we’ll get more of Chente and Odette in a book focusing on Odette’s bestie which I’m almost positive is in the works. 

If you are up for some heartwarming monster romance with moderate smut but a whole lot of feels, then I would bother.
