In My Boyfriends Are All Monsters by Kimberly Lemming, Lucy Sawyer finds herself stranded on the side of a mountain with nothing but frustration—and a desperate wish for a Hallmark-style true love story.

When a supernatural being grants her request, Lucy is transported to an enchanted town where every alluring, otherworldly man seems determined to win her heart.
At first, it feels like a dream come true: romance, magic, and irresistible supernatural suitors at every turn.

But Lucy quickly realizes that magic always demands something in return, and getting exactly what you wish for isn’t always as perfect as it sounds.

This witty and sizzling short story, part of the Scared Sexy paranormal romance collection, offers a playful and imaginative premise. However, while the concept had plenty of potential, it ultimately didn’t work for me. I struggled to fully connect with the plot and the romantic dynamics, and the overall tone felt a bit disjointed at times.

It’s certainly a unique and bold idea, blending humor with supernatural romance, but in the end, it wasn’t my favorite of the collection.
