How Not To #7
How Not to Date a Centaur
Good girl Kiara Stone only wanted to have a little fun for once in her life, and parachuting over Cambodia seemed like a thrill. But crash landing through a mountain and landing in the land of the centaurs was almost too much.
Now she is their goddess and under the protection of two very regal male warrior partners, Zeethan and Xaylu, and struggling to learn a new culture as foreign to her as her ways are to them. Hopefully she can learn fast enough not to start a war, destroy their whole belief system, and learn to date a pair of centaurs, because it looks like there is no returning home.

Kiara was enjoying her parachuting course in Cambodia – right up until the moment some unusually high winds had her instructor bailing out on her, literally, cutting the cord tethering them together and leaving Kiara to fend for herself as she tried to navigate her descent down a mountain and back onto green, safe, firm land. When Kiara lands in a tree, for a moment she’s beyond grateful simply to be alive. An accident has Kiara not only warmly embraced into a clan of Centaur’s, but hailed as their savior and Goddess. When Zeethan and Xaylu are given to Kiara can the three of them make this new arrangement work?
I really enjoyed this sexy short story. While the concept of the story was pretty out there – Kiara parachuting into a group of Centaur’s and staying amongst them as a goddess – I soon realised that both the characters and the blossoming threesome romance between Kiara, Zeethan and Xaylu was both relatable and interesting. I loved the fresh take on this paranormal romance and while a fair bit of my brain needed to be disconnected to suspend my disbelief, the story and enjoyment I got from this made it well worth it.
I was particularly pleased that Zeethan and Xaylu already had a well established, seemingly long-term committed relationship before Kiara came along. This helped me find the speed with which the threesome formed feel a lot more believable and I could also understand why since the basis of the relationship was already solid and well-proved adding Kiara into the mix didn’t rock the boat too much. I laughed a bit at how Kiara managed to integrate with the other female Centaurs – never in a million years would I have guessed that aspect to the plot so I found it not only humorous, but also incredibly unique and interesting.
With an interesting plot and some relatable and cool paranormal characters this was a fun and fresh story that I really enjoyed.

When I say I had absolutely no expectations with this story- I mean it. Completely and totally blown out of the water with this "How Not to.." story. The fact that we deal with a half man half horse species so it makes you wonder, is this beastiality? Well,... they are human too so...??? But then the whole god/ goddess issue and the changing of their belief system- this was simply marvelous. I've been binge-reading this series and so far, I think this is the best one yet. Also, the 🔞 scenes 😘chefs kiss (which surprised even me 😅)

Book seven in the How Not To series a well written short story. I enjoyed reading Kiara Stone, and the two regal male warrior partners, Zeethan and Xaylu's story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

While not particularly compelling, MMF menage and paranormal bisexual smut are relatively rare, so the "I really liked it!" rating is for an interesting-enough story in this particular specific subgenre.
Kiara an American tourist gets separated from her parachute instructor and lands in the middle of a centaur war in the wilds of Cambodia. After defeating an enemy by landing on him, a Centaur tribe takes her in and makes her a goddess. She is most comfortable with a pair of mated male Centaur warriors, and these same-sex Shoulder Mates seem to take a shine to the newly arrived goddess.
Review: This was a decent little erotic piece with a nice paranormal story. The sizzle was not overwhelming but a bit of a treat for those who like male/male/female manages with a mythological/supernatural twist. The explicit heat was not particularly enticing, but hot enough for fans of MMF who often have little to choose from. I probably enjoyed the Centaur aspect a bit more, as I found the setting and background to be the strongest part of the work, and the protagonist's journey also interesting if a bit pat.
