Romance at a Glance Reviews A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon
We read the reverse harem paranormal monster romance A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon! And we have to tell you, while it was spicy, we felt it left some monsters on the table!
IE _ IF THERE IS A DUDE WITH HORNS YOU MUST FCK THE DUDE WITH HORNS DUH
But we digress.
We had a ton of fun watching this reverse harem monster romance. The MC is a lusty human in Victorian-ish times and a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde type seduces her and tells her of a place where she might be a perfect fit. Which is essentially a high-class monster brothel. Color us intrigued. Then she proceeds to find and bond with all the monsters she sleeps with including a vampire, stone ghoul, sphinx from ancient Egypt, the Dr. with 2 personalities, and a cursed human.
Enter the multiple and sexy times. They definitely were steamy and creative in some cases.

Quick Guide Review of the Book and Notes
Book Title: A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor
Author: Kathryn Moon
Narrator/ Available in audio:
Part of a Series: Yes, book 1 of the Tempting Monsters series
Genre: Paranormal romance, monster romance, why choose romance, reverse harem romance
Cover Art: I loved the cover. It gave me the victorian romance vibes and the sort of dark, perverse monster romance vibes.
Synopsis: On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor—a house of ill and unusual repute—sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther’s inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.
Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther’s station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.
Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn’t all that’s threatening Esther’s new position. Rooksgrave Manor’s protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther’s new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.
