Runako doesn't like humans. They captured and brutally killed his twin sister. He is perplexed by his fascination with one specific human, the curvy and tough Margo. Determined to get over his obsession, he kidnaps her, bringing her to his people's Captive Caves. There he will indulge his every fantasy, allowing him to get her out of his system so he can revert back to hating all humans.

Margo knows Runako is a monster. As attracted to him in monster form as she is to him in human form, she thinks both the man and monster are perfect. That makes his declaration to ravish her all the more ridiculous. He can't possibly be attracted to her. She's fat.

Gone With the Monster is book 3 in the Monsters in Hollywood series. Although it can be read as a standalone novel, the kidnapping scene the story starts with will have less impact if readers don't know the characters.

Runako is a fascinating hero. Still learning the English language, he says whatever he thinks and some of those thoughts are hilarious. He is domineering yet kind. He'll boss Margo around and then worry that he hurt her feelings. Margo is an intriguing combination of tough and insecure. In charge outside the bedroom, she welcomes the opportunity to be submissive with Runako. The sex scenes are inspired. There's light BDSM, spanking, and a snow session so steamy it made me wish for winter. Gone With the Monster is a wonderful erotic romance with characters readers won't soon forget.
