Hi hello ghouls and goblins and welcome to Blogtober day 16! Today, I'll be recommending some short and spooky spicy romance books that are perfect to read during the Halloween season. As a note, the first two books haven't been released yet but I wanted to put them on the list because they're two books that are set during spooky season! With all of these books, please remember to look up trigger/content warnings and don't read anything outside of your comfort zone (or age range). With that being said, let's get spicy and spooky!

Trails run cold for Detective Bishop as he is cuffed with bureaucracy trying to piece the city back together. While some believe they know the party responsible, every new answer leads to further questions.

We are their only hope for absolution. One kiss can seal two fates, for a saint’s lips will save the sinner. But the Devil lurks among the dancers, and his kiss will damn even the most innocent. This year, I plan to make him mine."

Title: Riding the Headless Horseman

Author: Molly Likovich

Pages: 

Genre: Halloween Romance

Release Date: 22 September 2022

From Goodreads: "Arletta Harrington doesn't believe in Death. It's Halloween in Sleepy Hollow and Arletta is spending the night selling tarot readings to her fellow townsfolk—the ones who don't see her witchcraft as the work of the Devil that is. The people of Sleepy Hollow believe in many magical things but the one Arletta firmly doesn't believe in is Death. The deadly rider of The Hollow. The Headless Horseman. All of that changes when she encounters him on her late-night walk. He senses how powerful her magic is and knows he has to have her. He whisks her away to his realm and tells her of his plans to make her his forever. Though she may be resistant at first after a passionate night spent with the messenger of Death, she isn't so sure being his sounds like such a bad idea after all. But Halloween can't last forever...can it?"

Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Romance

Release Date: 25 September 2022

Her only chance to get it back will be during Samhain, when the Shadow Market opens and magical folk gather for three days to celebrate, and unfortunately, she can’t do it alone. She needs a demon. Ramanu’s entire existence is making bargains. They’re a bargainer demon, after all. They’ve had their eye on Lenora for some time now, so they’re pleased when she summons them to help with her little thief problem…especially because it means spending time in close proximity with her. Lenora thought she could get away with a bargain that didn’t require seven years of service, but when Ramanu informs her those are the terms, she decides to go it alone…even though the demon wants to tag along to the market. But as the clock ticks down and all Lenora’s attempts to reclaim her amulet fail, making a deal with Ramanu might be the only option she has. And they might take her heart right along with her soul."

She performs a love spell, hoping to summon a nice, perfectly safe Mr. Hunky to keep her entertained… but she fails. The creature that answers her summons is neither nice nor safe, but oh boy, is he hunky! Jack-o’-lantern is a devious ancient monster who once tricked the devil himself into granting him immortality. Now, Jack is here, a grinning pumpkin in the place of his head and a thing out of this world in his very bulging pants. The monster will have Suzy in every way he pleases, filling her close to bursting with his fertile seed… and nothing can hold him back."

From Goodreads: "Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing. Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments-- but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter. After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA-compliant, sex-magic-and-triple-cocks-oh-my, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart."
