Conner Shin may be my go-to V.C. Andrews expert, but this time we’re taking a little detour to Centaur-ville.
Okay, maybe not Centaur-ville. Maybe it’s a ranch in Montana where ONE centaur resides amongst oddly insular horse-shifters, but STILL!
What a wild ride we went on discussing the epic romance between a centaur-person and a human-person! In this latest episode of Too Stupid to Live, we review The Centaur’s Bride by Tamsin Ley. Plus, Conner and I discuss sexy things that I’m sure all paranormal/monster/fantasy romance readers think about constantly. This includes hot topics such as horse-herd politics, shifter bodily functions, and estate planning.

I’d be lying if I said there’s a part of me that doesn’t feel SEEN when it comes to centaur romance. Given that all of my first crushes were Disney characters, I admit SOMETHING awakened in me when I first experienced “Pastoral Symphony” in the re-release of Fantasia.
Needless to say, I had the best time catching up with Conner, who even illustrated an essential scene from this book:
If you’re curious to know WHAT scene, there are paperback and Kindle editions.
Here are some episode highlights: (FYI, this first clip is, uh, “scatological”.)
And if you need a look at my amazing synopsis of The Centaur’s Bride, knock yourself out:
Like they say in the Old West, “If you climb the saddle be ready for the ride”. But what happens if that saddle is atop Black Stevens – a centaur – or, at least to his herd, a horse shifter who can’t turn all the way “horse”. But Black isn’t the only sexy soul facing isolation. Renee is a woman just inherited the farm from her estranged grandfather that’s been a secret sanctuary for the herd. When she gets a clue that the farm might have a secret treasure, she doesn’t expect the actual gold to be the FINE ASS of that hunky cowboy/centaur. And for Black, Renee may just be that WATER he wants to lead his “inner horse” to. Because when it comes to insta-love, you just gotta drink it up.
Enjoy this episode and obviously send me anonymous and unsolicited messages about how you think shifters use the restroom.
