About this listen

Ophelia has a dirty secret. Well, it’s not really a secret anymore.

Ophelia was born into a family of Hunters, tasked with protecting the humans from the creatures of the night who feast on their fear.

Except Ophelia always found the idea of monsters kind of intriguing. She even made the grave sin of committing some X-rated monster thoughts to paper—which in hindsight may not have been the best idea because her parents were mortified—but you live and learn.

Well, everyone finds out your secret, you get banished from society, and then you learn. But the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Ophelia has been waiting for to make good on some of those fantasies has arrived. The King of Shades requires a hunter bride, and Ophelia is the best fit for the job.

Now, she just needs to convince her surly monster husband, Allerick, that she’s the best fit for him.

Luxuria is a MF standalone arranged marriage romance between a human and her not-quite-human husband. It is intended for mature listeners.

Loved this book from start to finish.
The funny lines from the fmc and just imagining being there. Definitely worth a listen.

The fmc wasn’t afraid to ask what she wanted

What a book

I laughed so hard with this book, I giggled like a school girl and blushed like a virgn

This book is funny and it’s steamy and it has a great plot… what else?

The miscommunication trope is done perfectly, the Hero is: Chef’s kiss!

Our heroine is sweet and strong and just so refreshingly open about her sexuality, seriously… she embraces her wants and needs and it all feels so nicely done…

I’ll be daydreaming about this book for weeks, I can’t wait for the next instalment

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!

I really love this story!!!😍😍😍
To start with, for the sake of rarity, the female main character is strong, knows what she wants, has a backbone and is not portrayed as stupid and helpless like women in many fantasy stories.
Her relationship with her husband, even though it starts with an arranged marriage, is healthy, they communicate well with each other and dare to take risks for their relationship.
I adore Ophelia, who is a humble, and genuinely lovable human woman who has lived for a long time in isolation from her family and community.
She gets her chance to start over in the Shadow Realm and there the story begins...
Her new husband, King Allerick is skeptical of her in the beginning, but I think she surprises him in many ways despite all the misunderstandings and prejudices he has against human kind. Yet Allerick has integrity, is a good king who loves his subjects, and feels an inexplicable attraction to Ophelia.
The narrators did a fantastic job and elevated the book in a wonderful way. I highly recommend the book and give it the highest number of stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💖💖💖💖

There is light even in the shadow!✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
