…muss man mit den Klassikern starten. Und das ist einer (habe ich gehört 👀). Ich starte meine Rezi mal mit einem kurzen Vorwort für meine Mum, die hier meine Rezis liest: Hey Mum. Das ist ein Buch über Minotauren. Minotauren kommen in der griechischen Mythologie vor, somit zählt dieses Buch quasi zur Allgemeinbildung. Und Bildung ist wichtig, das hast du mir beigebracht. Und das ist alles, was du über dieses Buch wissen musst. Wirklich. Also nicht weiterlesen. 😅 [Vorsicht, wird gemol- … äh… gespoilert ❗️] Wer kennt es nicht - DAS Buch von dem alle sprechen, wenn das Wort Smut fällt. Wir haben hier Violet (nein, nicht die von Fourth Wing, auch, wenn ich bei dem Namen oft an sie denken musste 😅), die dringend einen neuen Job braucht. Und den findet sie auch - auf der Morning Glory Milking Farm. 🥛 Eigentlich ist es wie eine niedliche „Stadtmädchen arbeitet auf Farm“-Romanze. Nur halt ohne Farm und dass das, was dort gemolken wird, definitiv keine Kühe sind. 🐄🙅🏼♀️ (Mum? Liest du noch mit oder muss ich dir schon einen Krankenwagen wegen Herzanfall schicken? Ich sagte doch, lies nicht weiter. 😩) Jedenfalls blüht Violet regelrecht in ihrer neuen Arbeit auf und die Minotauren lieben ihr… äh… Handwerk. 🫢 Einer besonders, nämlich Rourke, dessen Name ich irgendwie nicht so aussprechen kann, dass er nicht so klingt, als müsste ich mir gerade Schleim aus der Kehle lösen. I mean, really. Try it. Jedenfalls reicht Violets… Begabung? Ihre Signet-Gabe? Whatever. Es reicht jedenfalls aus, dass Rourke sich in sie verliebt und sie melken glücklich, bis an ihr Lebensende. Srsly, er hat sogar seinen Nasenring für sie entfernen lassen. Was das nicht Commitment unter Kühen schreit, was dann? 🤷♀️
Als Buddy mit Sophie begonnen, dachten wir beide, das wird nen totaler Schund und Smut Read… Die Erwartungen waren gering, obwohl ich schon in einigen Buchgruppen gehört habe, das es gut sein soll. Um dann direkt das offensichtliche zu erwähnen… Ja, hier wird gemolken. Und zwar männliche Minotauren in einem Unternehmen der Pharmaindustrie. Und ja, jede einzelne Melk Szene war ein kleiner Fiebertraum! Nun, jetzt kommt das große Aber! Abgesehen von dieser merkwürdigen Milk Thematik war das echt ein richtig gutes Buch! Der Schreibstil war sehr angenehm und flüssig, das Setting klasse, in einer Welt, in der so allerlei Lebewesen mehr oder minder friedlich koexistiert. Unsere Protagonisten waren wirklich greifbar und sympathisch und wir erleben hier einen so unproblematischen, erwachsenen, gut kommunizierten Beziehungsaufbau, das ich absolut begeistert war! So muss das! Überzeugt euch gerne selbst! Leider gibt es in den meisten New Adult Romanen am Ende künstliches Drama, das allermeist auf Misskommunikation zurückzuführen ist und vermeidbar wäre und das nervt mich mittlerweile oft. Leute, redet doch einfach miteinander… Zum Schluss gab es noch etwas Spice und ein wirklich zufriedenstellendes Ende. 4,5 Sterne von mir! Die englischsprachige Cambric Creek Reihe von C. M. Nascosta umfasst 5 Bände und ich habe mir bereits den nächsten, Sweet Berries, geladen. Vielleicht gebt ihr dem ganzen auch eine Chance, oder kennt ihr die Reihe sogar schon? Schreibts in die Kommentare…
4 stars for the world-building. I ate up every crumb that was thrown in. I'm absolutely fascinated by this world and would love to read fully fleshed out stories based in something like this. Or even the story of Ennis and Byron. Or the neighbour and her bf. This book sets out to do a thing and does that decently enough. I'm personally not going to fault it for not being things it's not trying to be. Though, yay, no 3rd act conflict. The author's writing style does take a bit to get used to. Quite often the characters will mention an event, then it will flash back to it, and then back to the present.
Did I just spend my evening reading Minotaur smut, yes I did
Where do i begin... 🥛
The bookcover is not what you're going to get! The digital cover/the one on Reado is much closer to it. I thought this would be a renaissance love story on a farm (like those cliche books) but it actually plays in the present. 🏘 The story itself was okay, the spice was also okay. In my opinion nothing groundbreaking. I was rooting for their love though so that is for sure a plus! The worldbuilding was top notch, i really got immersed and i loved all the quirky ideas like a restaurant for vampires and donor humans. I do want to read more in this world but i'm not sure if i want to read more from this author. Unfortunately the whole book felt rushed. There were typos literally in the first few pages + layout issues sometimes. Also the MG milk graphic was not sharp which is unfortunate. If you like: Huge minotaur penises, hand jobs and "filled out" trope this one is for you! 3.4/5 🌟
This was a KU buddy read with Jessi! This was my first monster romance, and let me tell you: I didn't hate it! I started reading this thinking it was going to be a 2-star, maybe 3-star read max, but let me just say, I quite enjoyed myself reading this. The smut was great (even though I am not 100% clear on the logistics of the ... you know). And what also surprised me so much was that I actually really enjoyed the two main characters' relationship! The guy (if that is an appropriate term for a MINOTAUR lmao) was so sweet and considerate, but know how to be steamy too, and we absolutely STAN that! Additionally, even though this is one of the most steamy books I have read thus far, there is still quite a lot of world-building, which makes it even more intriguing. Definitely will be reading more of this author!

I liked the first half, but then there was a jump in the second half, skipping a bunch of their first dates just to have long flashbacks of them. All those flashbacks made me impatient, and from time to time I thought we wouldn't get back to the present, that maybe the flashback was the present now, with how long winded it felt to me. The story was interesting at first, but then nothing more happened, and working through the second half of the book felt like a task.
Hear me out...
Ita quite wholesome actually. Plus she has to pay her student loans. Dont judge.
Rating: 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐ Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nacosta. Is this book weird? Yes, probably. Was it still sweet and I enjoyed it? Also yes. “I’m glad we took some time to get to know each other. I know this wasn’t exactly a traditional way to meet, and I wanted to make sure you knew I was interested in you. Not just your perfect, tiny hands."- Rourke First, it’s important to note that I’m rating this book with the understanding that it falls somewhere between smut and erotica with a love story. There are explicit depictions of sexual acts throughout the book. If that’s not your cup of tea, this is definitely not the book for you. Violet starts a job as a milking technician - her job is ...well ..collecting semen from Minotaurs. It's not as weird as it sounds tbh. It is all very clinical and she doesn't feel anything except for Rourke—one of her first clients. Their love story was surprisingly sweet and not as sex-focused as one might think - except for his visits to the farm ofc. He really took time to get to know her and supported her in her growth and finding a job. I also appreciated how the book explored some deeper themes, like the prejudice between humans and monsters. This was a welcome touch that added depth to the story. Anyway, it’s also hard because he’s very conservative and from such an insular community. I’m not. My parents never took us to the sun temple when I was young; we didn’t really practice Elvish customs at home, but I’m still an elf. There are still things I grew up with that are familiar, food, and expectations that don’t always line up with the way he thinks things ought to be, and that’s what I mean about the little things. There were a few scenes toward the end that I could’ve done without, but overall, I liked their banter, and I enjoyed the inclusion of friends in the story. The writing style was also easy to follow. (! Very graphic ) This I could have lived without: His cock slipped from her like a particularly corpulent eel, swinging loose with a gush that sent a ripple up her back, splashing to the shower floor like an overturned bucket. Despite that, I still found the book enjoyable and its quirks made for an interesting read. Would I recommend it? If you’re into the genre and open to something on the more explicit side, definitely.
