A matchmaking witch, an ancient sea creature, and the sex contract they make.
Welcome to the Love Bathhouse where desire and acceptance are in the water.

The Witch
Celibacy is a bad look for a matchmaker.

Especially a matchmaker who works at the kind of paranormal bathhouse that would have grandmothers clutching their pearls.
A worse look is a matchmaker experiencing a crisis of confidence.
I am that matchmaker.

We need raw magic, desperately.

And now a mysterious man walks into my office, offering me the exact solution I need.
The problem is that he wants to be matched… with me.
Matching doesn’t work for me; I found that out the hard way.

The Kraken
I saw her and the creature inside me wanted.

She doesn’t want a relationship. She says that the most we can have are the three nights she promised me, but the dark part of myself isn’t going to let the woman who snared its attention go.

I found her. I hunted her. She’s mine.

**Stalked by the Kraken is a monster romance that features tentacles. This book is a standalone and takes place in the same world as, and prior to the events of, Three of Hearts with some character crossover.

Content Warning: Book includes breeding behavior and mentions infertility.

Book Review 📚Stalked By The Kraken| Lillian LarkMonstrous Matches #15⭐I think I have a crush on Lillian Lark. She has created a fanciful world with provocative characters that you cannot get enough of.I adore Rose, the matchmaker witch, that is also featured in other books in the series. Rose works at a paranormal love bathhouse, making love connections happen for others in her community. I'm only meh about Gideon, the Kraken. It took me a bit of reading before I enjoyed his character. Let's be clear, it had nothing to do with his tentacle skills <winks>. Just kidding, it had everything to do with that. WHOA! I did find his primal dominance very sexy, and who doesn't like a good hunt? <raises hand!>It is a quick and easy read that ends in a HEA. ❤️Don't forget about the naughty tentacle sexy time. I highly recommend Lillian Lark.Kindle Unlimited252 PagesGenres:Romance | Paranormal | Fantasy | Erotica | Monsters | Magic

This could have expanded to be such a bigger story then it was allowed to be. It was well written, spicy was spicy. I just wish there was more with this one! Not saying it wasn't a complete book, or that it's ended was too open ended.... but man do I want more!

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021

I am having a crisis of person putting this on my feed, and I am sure I would be able to stop myself if it wasn't so... *cringe* ... good.

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Rose is a witch whose family runs a bathhouse, and she specializes in matchmaking. She's lost her confidence after one perfect match - her own - goes south quickly. Gideon is a treasure hunter - and a kraken shifter. When he first sees Rose, he knows for sure she's his mate. But he can tell she's trigger shy, and instead of scaring her off, he goes about getting to know her in a more traditional sense.

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: My god, I never thought I would be typing this sentence, but here we are: This was my first kraken shifter romance. I'm still VERY much new to the shifter/fantasy/paranormal scene and have had definite moments where it's been a little too far out for me. But here I am, recommending a book about an octopus man to you all because it had the perfect combination of smut and story.

I loveeeee fated mates, and Gideon's POV was all hearts and flowers and swoons for Rose. There's a subplot that's a bit suspenseful and keeps the plot moving. It's simple, fun and honestly a totally great palette cleanser if you need one.

Oh, you wanted to know about the tentacles? It's not TOO strange. It's a shifting thing, so it only happens sometimes. But heyooooo with these types of romance (we saw it in ICP, in Horde King, etc) just expect a breeding kink and don't be surprised when it shows up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot more fun than I expected
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

I am a serial book abandoner. If a book can’t hold my attention, is poorly written, or the characters are dull/unlikable, I am usually unable to finish it. That happens much more than I would like, but I am just not willing to invest a lot of time in a terrible book.

That said, I had somewhat low expectations for this book. The title and cover were a little corny, and books that amount to tentacle p0rn are usually pretty meh, if not outright bad. But I gave it a shot.

I was very pleasantly surprised! The plot was entertaining, the characters likable and interesting, and the intimate scenes were pretty decent. Overall a very good book for what it was.

If I have any complaints, it would be that we really didn’t get enough tentacles. Too much standard sex. And Rose was so wishy-washy that it drove me crazy. I get that they needed drama, but she was verging on the point of being unlikable just because she seemed to be jerking him around at times. I also wish we had been able to find out if their endeavors were successful.

I enjoyed it enough I will definitely check out other books.

3.0 out of 5 stars great monster romance

This story was sweet & spicy!

I liked both characters a lot and liked the world. I think the romance was a bit insta love/ insta lust but that’s expected in a dated mates storyline. The relationship developed nicely and they communicated hallelujah 😂

The spicy scenes were definitely interesting & sexy. I appreciate that tentacles were present (hero is a kraken after all). The bathhouse was a creative setting for their interactions. I could picture it clearly too.

A great monster romance if you want to dip your toes in the monster romance waters, or a great steamy read! Would recommend.

This is the updated cover, and I like it much more than the old one. The story is the same, which I love because Lillian Lark books are my all time favorites in the monster romance genre. Stalked by the Kraken has plot, character development, and generous amounts of smut, so I ended this book feeling satisfied. You will too!

4 / 5 stars
Heat level: 4 / 5 peppers
POV (Point of View): dual

I really enjoy stories that put the supernatural world into normal society. Lillian Lark builds a diverse world of supernatural's living alongside humans. I loved the concept of the bathhouse; I'm not going to lie I was thinking more on the literal side of a bathhouse like the Studio Ghibli movie Spirited Away. Less like the steamy spice bathhouse fun time that this was, but I still really enjoyed the story I just was thinking the bathhouse would have more bathhouse related things going on. That isn't a bad thing, it just means I know less about the plot.

The Witch: Rose runs her family's bathhouse; she also serves as the resident matchmaker who connects people based off their soul threads. She lacked confidence in herself due to her past boyfriend doing a mental number on her psyche. She wasn't my absolute favorite 100% of the time but I think that has more to do with how quickly she would doubt Gideon, besides those instances I enjoyed getting a view into her world at the bathhouse.

The Kraken: Gideon is the immortal treasure hunter. I have read very few stories with Krakens in them so I am always curious about how an author will choose to portray them. I loved his personality and willingness to wait on Rose to be ready for things in their relationship.

I loved this book, I finished it way too quickly! Some how Lillian Lark knows how to write about kinks I knew I had but didn't know how to explain. If you like paranormal romance, with lots of spice and some interesting parts ;) this book should definitely be your next read. My only complaint is that I want more of it, I wish it was a bit longer just because I don't want the time I'm spending with the characters to end.

~ STORY 📝 ~

It's my second book by Lillian Lark, and I must say she has a talent for writing about monsters that go from being the most respectful and tender men outside the bedroom to being the most possessive and kïnky when things go spicy 🔥😮‍💨

The story in itself is simple and you can see the plot coming, but I didn't mind. It was a good background while reading about the love story between Gideon and Rose. 😂💕

~ SPICE 🌶️ ~

This isn't just an open-door situation. The door's unhinged and it's gone 😂🌶️

I rated it 3.5🌶️ bc some tropes are not my cup of tea, but it's very personal. If the smüt tropes I listed are your thing then it can be a strong 4.0🌶️ or more 😉

Rose is a matchmaker witch struggling with her confidence, after a bad experience. Gideon is a kraken, who falls in love with her on first sight. But Gideons other side is dangerous, and can he control it to woo Rose and achieve his hearts desire?
I loved this book. Its creativity, its use of the supernatural, and the romance too. I loved how every magical being was just accepted, from demon to succubus, and was some fantastic history and worldbuilding with the Council. Full of well developed characters like Gideon, who battles both sides of himself and tries to find a new path. Or Rose, trying to keep going but struggling, and her battles with her lack of confidence were emotive and relatable, written perfectly. A great supporting cast like the fun lovng Lowell or mischievous Katherine or even the villian Jackson.
I loved the use of the kraken, an extraordinary creature from mythology that we don't see very often. It was a brilliant take on this genre, as something you don't see in paranormal, and the descriptions of the kraken were beautifully done. I also loved the continued use of the language of the sea throughout, made it even more spectacular, adding a nice touch. Also has some beautiful descriptions with scenes such as the bathhouse entrance or Roses desk so vivid and detailed it was as if you were there too, with wonderful imagery even on smaller items like the octopus pens. Or with the sex scenes in the bathhouse, so vivid and powerful you feel it too. Had some great action, and a happy resolution. I couldn't put this book down, really enjoyed it. Overall, a fantastic read and I would give it five stars.
