Stormrise

Stormrise is the first book in the Carnal Divinity series by Maya Maitea.

Synopsis

What if a fantasy heroine solved problems with love and sex rather than violence?

Aurora Storm, an orphan raised by a sexually repressive religious order, has always been curious about sex, despite her order’s teachings. When Aurora is tasked with tracking down a werewolf, she finds that he is actually Connor, a local hunter and good friend.

Determined to help Connor, she discovers a sliver of ancient sex magic that can help him control his transformation. This act of sexual liberation, along with seducing her own best friend Bellamy, puts Aurora on the path to restore the ancient Temple of Carnal Divinity, a place where all may celebrate the magic of pleasure.

Join Aurora in this monster romance fantasy series where she’ll gather a variety of monstrous lovers!

Reviews

This was a great debut into monster romance by Maya!

If you enjoy a fast pace plot, fast-burn, with a lot of sex positivity and throw in a werewolf, this book is for you.

Aurora is part of a church where she feels completely out of place because sexual desires are seen as sinful and wrong. Stormrise follows Aurora's two relationships with Connor, her crush who is secretly a werewolf and Bellamy, her long time best friend and also her crush. With the help from the goddess of sex, Aurora is able to finally turn her desires into a reality. The only thing that I thought was kind of weird was that Bellamy and Connor instantly have a relationship. They didn't even really have any dialogue together to even build anything. They seem to only be together because they love Aurora.

I think that Maya has a lot of potential and can't wait to read her future monster smut.
