Books in which FMC/MMC have pets that they love (AND NOTHING TRAGIC HAPPENS) who are important to the story? Rescuing an animal during the story is also welcome! Doesn’t have to be mammals or even “earth” pets.

I need some good fluffy content and recently lost my soul dog, I want some good old fashioned cute animal content.

I don’t want any: - pregnancies or children - huge age gaps (small ones are fine but only if they’re both adults) - douchebag MMCs (grumpy/smartass is okay, just no transparent cruelty) - FMCs with no personality

I love: - monster romance - mafia/dark romance (spooky is good but I probably should avoid any especially tragic ones) - sunshine/grump couples - revenge-focused shadow daddies - fated mate/omegaverse - LGBTQ representation (this is a big one)

I wanna read more of: - historical romance - fairy tale retellings - lesbian romance - FMC monster/MMC human (or both monsters) - space romance

Some of my favorite authors: - Tiffany Roberts - Emily Antoinette - Cia Petrichor (only her newer stuff) - Opal Reyne

Some of my favorite series: - American Werewolf in Space series (legit one of my favorite books of any category of all time) - Their Vampire Queen series (the best series I’ve ever read, I’ve reread it all twice so far and could pick it up again immediately) - The Duskwalker Brides series - The State of Grace series

Bonus if: - the pets include exotic/technically illegal pets (think reptiles, birds, big cats, etc) - fantasy animals - talking pets

I hope that’s enough detail! Everything except the hard no category are totally flexible. If I need to read TWs before reading them, just give me a heads up.
