This was not good I don’t know where to start but maybe the fact she’s feeling frisky for him after about 5 seconds or how he’s forcing her to do chores etc and then there’s the unicorn and his massive ahem horn.

This got very offensive very quickly. Firstly, the FMC’s disparaging of her own figure which just so happens to be an idealized body type had me rolling my eyes. But what had me shuttering the book was the MMC tearing her clothes from her body when she refuses to wear the leather garments he gives to her then proceeds to run his hands over her under the guise of “checking her for injuries” turning it into a fingering sesh…wtf is this? I like spice but this is a poorly constructed power play and a reminiscent justification along the lines of old school porn and I’m just no longer interested.

TL;DR:  A woman survives an animal trap set by an orc hunter so he takes her home to save her life. There is a lot of nonconsensual things, though not sex, but it’s cleaned up after one conversation. COMMUNICATION!

“You left me, female.
You took my heart and all that I am and left me to once again face life alone.”
