What good is fate when your mate won't look your way?

Omega Tuft has always wanted a mate. He's craved someone to love and support him since he was a human changeling on Earth. Now that he's a kobold/human hybrid, he understands this desire is hardwired into his genes. Too bad his new mate hasn't gotten the message.

Axel had tried so hard to fit in on Earth. He'd had a fiancée, a steady job, and video games to keep him busy. Now, he's an alpha adrift in one of those fantasy games with no way out and an omega who keeps calling him mate.

When Axel is returned to his plane of origin early, Tuft has only a brief courtship to convince him they're meant to be together. If he fails, he'll have to face the reality of living alone without any hope for love and hatchlings.

The Monster at the End of This Courtship is a knotty reluctant fated mates male/male mpreg/eggpreg romance between 2 consenting versatile adults. It has monster anatomy, knotting, all the slick, nesting, true love, fated mates, adorable babies, snark, eggpreg spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after! The Monster at the End of His Pregnancy series is best read in order.

Content Warning: Miscarriage (laid/fertilized eggs didn't mature), cheating (not between the main characters)

Great sequel.

The ability to find a consistently lighthearted undertone that suits a HEA romance is not as straightforward as it might seem. I would say that is especially true when the baggage the characters carry could never be contained inside a dire wolf's storage van.

However, even with the depth of the characters and the story digging a little deeper than the first book...Edie Monte pulls it off.

Top marks for appropriate spice, quirkiness, story, and emotional pull.

Looking forward to fan art of a certain someone in a Kentucky Derby hat....

I am so happy for the omega lead in this story, he had a really rough time in book one and with losing his eggs from his not true alpha. He finds his real true mate in this book, stuff happens I’m not telling about and lots is happening in their world now that they can be outside. I would definitely recommend reading book one in this series so you know the situation. A wonderful story and I am looking forward to book three. A definite must read male pregnancy and egg pregnancy lovers.

Tuft and Axel had a lot to get through for their HEA.
I loved that they actually took time to get to know one another first and then built their relationship off of that.
Amazing world building and the found family aspect was great.

A bit of a rough start for the two leads but it was worth it to watch their story unfold. Also, watching Weld and Tuft grieve together was sp beautiful. Can't wait for the next book!

Finding Love on Another Planet

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

The Monster at the End of This Courtship by Edie Monte is the second book in her The Monster at the Endo f His Pregnancy series. You may want to read the other book first as I am sure it explains a lot about what the setting and plot will be like. This book is one of the most fantastical ones I have read in a long time with not only the characters and how they look and live as well as the setting and especially pregnancies and births. Kobolds are the beings who live on Ignitis. They are somewhat lizard like but also have some human features. Dragons almost killed their civilization with their fire and they retreated into their fortress and lived there for a hundred years. They also sent their children to Earth to protect them and had them fit in with their magic as well as adopting them out until they reached the age of 25 when they would return to Ignitas. Then the current dragon became friendly with one of them and everything changed, especially when they burned down the stone circle that recalled all the kobolds from Earth, even if they were not of the correct age to return and also they could now go out in the sun without being afraid of being eaten. The Priestess Alma and some of the Alphas held classes so they could learn about their ways and what would happen to them. Their magic could also return them to Earth, which they often went back to for food or to get things they wanted. Tuft had been back on Ignitas for a year and was an omega. He had met an alpha, Weld, and though they weren’t fated mates decided to mate with him. This produced 2 eggs but they did not survive due to the cold of the fortress. They were both very sad over this but knew they couldn’t do anything about it. Then, when all of the kobolds came back unexpectedly, Axel, an alpha, was with them. When Tuft smelled him he knew he was his fated mate. But Axel didn’t know what he was and still had his tail. He went to classes and then when it molted he was considered an adult and ready to take his place in Ignitas. But he also rejected Tuft as his mate because he had his life back on Earth that he couldn’t leave. When he returned there he realized that what he thought he had was a lie so he came back to Ignitas ready to be open with Tuft. The story continues as they meet for lunches and dinners and get to know each other. They found that they liked the same things and got along very well, which surprised Tuft because he knew that others thought he was somewhat odd, even though that wasn’t true and everyone liked him. Because they were able to go out into the sun Tuft and Axel came up with the idea of having a sports complex that everyone could use and enjoy and build community with and once they got permission to make it, they went at it with everything they had. Tuft was the spreadsheet man and got everyone signed up and Axel was the builder who designed and made all of the fields, including a pavilion for the dragon to watch from. Tuft wanted to go slow with their relationship because he didn’t want it to turn out like his first one, but eventually they mated and then had their babies which led to their family being filled with love. I had a somewhat hard time getting into this story as it was so different but once I did, I was hooked. This is such an unusual group of creatures being lizard-like yet having very human qualities, especially their eating habits. Tuft’s and Axel’s love story was pretty typical with being rejected at first, then going slowly, and finally finding their happy ending with a lot of hot love scenes in between. And the way Tuft had his babies was beyond belief and something I never heard of before. Ms. Monte really has quite the imagination! I highly recommend this book, especially if you like alien love stories that are very different and strange and also have mpreg with eggs that lead to having a family and love when they didn’t think that it would be possible.

Reluctant alpha embraces courtship

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

The Monster at the End of This Courtship by Edie Monte is a sweet story with some hot scenes. This is the second in a series and I strongly recommend reading the first book before this one, as it lays out the important elements of the fantasy world and introduces the reader to not only the important characters in Book One, but also the characters for Book Two. The main character in Book Two is Tuft, an omega, who chafes at the constraints on omegas mostly due to events in the past. He is also a fun kobold, having adjusted to and reveled in his kobold anatomy. His reluctant alpha is Axel and it is entertaining to watch his attitude change a 180 degrees from wanting nothing to do with Tuft or the kobold world at all to embracing everything (not really a spoiler since this is a romance) with a HEA. One part that really appealed to me was the rehabilitation of Weld from egotistical alpha to someone who deserves to find their HEA too. I would not have thought it possible since he was almost a villain in Book One. The author did a great job here. It will be fun to read his story one day. I received a free copy of this book from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was a well written book about an unlikely fated mate that was just too cute. I enjoyed this book very much.

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024

I was given a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Good paranormal, fantasy, romance. The world and character building are good. The chemistry between the characters was good. I like that even though the MCs are mates, they still had to do some work to make the relationship work.
