This was one of the fastest stories I think I've ever read. Almost felt like I got whiplash from how fast things went. The characters are for the most part believable and interesting, and the dynamic is definitely there. Unfortunately, the sheer speed of the progression (I mean 24h from meeting to bonding to finding out she's pregnant is a bit much) definitely took away points for me. It didn't need to happen this fast, it could have been dragged out a bit and everything could still have happened just the way it did.
Because of it, a lot of the reactions also didn't ring true to me. Some of the doubts make sense because the two men have a history, but wondering why someone didn't talk to you about something important when you've known each other for like 2 days is kind of stupid.

"Was the pressure of the clutch so soon in our relationship that we couldn't have a strong foundation?"
Lady, you met them like two days ago. "Soon" is too late of a word for that timeframe. "Soon" would be like three months in. You don't know them enough to even know if they can have lactose without having an intimate date with the toilet for the evening. What the hell do you think?
This is probably my least favorite book of this author. It's not badly crafted, but the content had the potential to be good and interesting, however, rushing it to this degree didn't do it any favours.

I love Lillian larks work!!! Once again I am wreaked pain finishing it. 4/5 spice lots of great scenes with moderate kink. Would have been 5 stars but contains the word ministrations. I’m honestly just tired of seeing it in fantasy fiction. That being said will be immediately reading again.
