(Ver)Tumnus, the male faun accountant lead, is highly attracted to Flora, the female human lead who he believes is a prostitute. When she offers him ANYTHING in exchange for assisting her with the books for the farm she’s inherited responsibility for, he asks for one night, believing that she’ll say no but desperately hoping. When she says yes, he’s flummoxed.
They both want more than one night but they’ve both got huge responsibilities with potentially terrible consequences for failure looming over their heads…
This short story is dual POV, well written and edited, and a fun, fluffy escape into a world where even terrible things work out. I’ve been really enjoying this series and the continuation of an overarching plot that doesn’t overshadow the romance between changing lead characters. I enjoyed Tumnus’ genuine pleasure at being who Flora wanted; he never took her for granted. I enjoyed Flora’s joy at finding a relationship. I enjoyed their efforts working together toward overarching plot goals and the sweetness of the story overall, highlighted by spicy intimate interactions.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.
