Not gonna lie, the whole reason I read this book is so I can share an embarrassing joke about myself. You may or may not be aware, but the only reason I’m not in debtors prison for spending all my money on books is because I belong to Kindle Unlimited. (Yes, I know you can’t go to jail for debt anymore – at least in America – but I wanted to make the nod to my fellow lovers of Regency romance.) That’s not the joke, btw. Only a preface to give you a frame of reference.
Wait. At this point, you are probably asking two questions: Katie, why are you rambling so? and, perhaps more importantly, what book? So, lemme sum up. As a result of belonging to KU, I have fallen down several rabbit holes of somewhat questionable genres that I’m too embarrassed to admit having read after following the recommendations based on my reading habits.
Most recently, KU recommended Moby by Jessa Kane. It is a whale shifter romance. Obviously. I mean, really. What else could you name the whale shifter with an enormous dick? And with a main character with that powerful of a moniker, what else would you title the book?
Which is why I need someone to explain to me why I IMMEDIATELY wondered why someone wrote a romance novel featuring the early 2000s electronica master, Moby. Because writing a romance about a 5ft 5in skinny bald man seemed like such an odd choice.
Then I read the book’s description and was like, ohhhhh. My bad. 😂
Anyway, Moby is a novella featuring one of my least favorite tropes, age gap. I was also reminded of the TikTok where a creator demonstrates exactly how 12 inches is in comparison to the average female body. I’m just gonna say that after watching that clip, there’s no way I’d let Moby anywhere near what he refers to as “breaches.”
I definitely don’t recommend it, but if you want to read the 87-page selection that inspired this stream of consciousness masterpiece, Moby is available as part of KU. Here’s a little Moby to see us out…
