The Xenobiologist & The Matriarch

A Cozy Sci-Fi Monster Romance

By: Pippa Farthingale

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He holds two PhDs. She holds him in her lap.
A cozy, steamy adventure about a neurotic scientist and the giant bat-woman who thinks he’s adorable.

Dr. Adrian Pym has a tenure-track position, a severe pollen allergy, and a firm belief that adventure is just bad planning. He designed his portal to transport him to the safest place in the multiverse.

Instead, it dropped him out of the sky and into the claws of Vespera—an eight-foot-tall, velvet-furred Matriarch of the night.

To Vess, Adrian is a confused, hairless fledgling who needs to be carried, groomed, and protected from the jungle’s lethal fauna. To Adrian, Vess is a terrifying biological anomaly that violates the square-cube law.

But when a rival male threatens Vess’s territory, Adrian realizes that his tweed suit and laser pointer might be the only things standing between his Matriarch and death. He has ten minutes to fix his portal and return to the safety of his lab. But as he looks at the giant monster who purrs when he’s near, Adrian has to test a new hypothesis:

Maybe safety isn’t a place. Maybe it’s a person.

The Xenobiologist & The Matriarch is a standalone novella featuring a hero who uses physics as a weapon, a protective giantess who loves to cuddle, and a size difference that defies logistics. Low angst, high steam, and scientifically adorable.

Different take

I like it, but it felt unfinished This is the second book by this author where thats happened. I won't be listening for more. I hate getting invested and the book is half done or simply a cliffhanger. If your fine with those then it might be worth it.
