For transparency’s sake, I received Used by the Unicorn as an Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) and my review is honest and unpaid/unsponsored.

Tropes: HEA, pregnancy, secret baby, polyamory, ethical nonmonogamy, found family, sharing, MMC falls first, exhibitionism, high heat, monster escort service

Content Warnings: pregnancy complications, toxic marriage

PLEASE NOTE: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD

Used by the Unicorn was fine for me. Smut was the plot, and the romance didn’t disappoint, but I had a very difficult time rooting for Jade (our MFC). Jade was just a miserable character who refused help or to communicate her needs/wants/questions until it was too late. She was also unnecessarily rude to people which is one of my biggest pet peeves.

The pregnancy trope is quite polarizing in the reading community. Personally, I don’t mind it in my reads if there’s additional substance to the plot. I’m disappointed, that I didn’t vibe with the trope as written in Used by the Unicorn. The parts of the book not centric around the pregnancy were fine.

For me the timeline was hard to follow, some conversations were sloppy and didn’t seem to fit how the characters would speak based on other conversations, and the plot was lacking. I feel like something was missing in this storyline. I’m not sure what, but I needed something more to really seal the book as a 4+ star read.

I do intend to read more by Ami as it’s possible Used by the Unicorn just isn’t for me. I LOVED the short story Ami wrote in an anthology I read recently, My Monster Valentine, which was based in the Monstrous Deals world so I’m optimistic about the rest of the series books.

If you give Used by the Unicorn a read, let me know what you think!
