Was such a cute book. Kinda hated the puppy nickname but loved how they all got together in the end. A very sweet thruple. Very spicy and cute. The characters were fab and developed well, they felt 3D as if they could come off the page and become real people. Loved this series so much, can’t wait to read more from Lyonne.

Trying to survive a war they never asked to be part of, Esme a human, and Drazak and Han'zir, two trollkins, unwittingly find their worlds colliding when Esme deserts the war and stumbles her way onto the two trollkins' farm.
Terrified she's exchanged one deadly situation for another, Esme convinces Drazak and Han'zir to let her stay in return for working on their farm.
While the trollkins are already in an established relationship, they can't help but be drawn to Esme, feeling as if she's their missing puzzle piece and fated mate. Esme also feels the same pull but is hesitant due to stories of hatred between the two species.
Are their feelings sufficient to overcome past hurts, a language barrier and a few misunderstandings? Find out in Lyonne's latest standalone book, filled with wonderful characters, steamy scenes, great writing and a story where fated love triumphs over all obstacles. Another highly recommended read from the author!

Gleeful Goblin Review: So from the jump I gotta say I LOVE the switch on switch action from our boys when it's just the two of them. Hoooooly wowsers, it got hot in here FAST I tell you what. I'm also a huge sucker for the language barrier trope which is certainly present here and honestly, in the most adorable of ways in this intro scene: "Before Drazak can grab her, she scurries away and starts raking the ground like her life depends on it. He pauses as she frantically gathers up stray straws of hay and chicken droppings, too baffled by what she’s doing to stop her. We both stare as she makes a little pile, then reaches for a pan off the wall and scoops it all in. Carrying the pan, she heads for the door, but I block her way. I can’t have her running off now, not when she’s acting in such a curious manner. With a look of annoyance, she gestures for me to step to one side. “Stop her,” Drazak snaps at me, but instead of doing what he asks—he should know better by now than to try to boss me around—I step out of the way and let her past. With a nod of appreciation, she dumps the pan out with the rest of the animal debris. Then she hurries back and picks up the rake again. “What is she doing?” Drazak asks, his mouth slightly ajar. “Helping, I think.” I study her as she rakes up more filth. “Fascinating behavior, isn’t it?” She pauses in her raking, then leans the handle on the wall and climbs up the ladder to the hay loft. I follow along, hands tucked behind my back, interested to find out what this odd little creature will do next. She lies down in the hay and, very dramatically, pretends to snore. It’s... adorable. “She wants to sleep here,” I call down to Drazak. The woman’s eyes open, and she curls up tighter in the hay, laying her claim on it. “What?” He frowns deeply. “She can’t do that. Not in my barn. She’s human.” I drop down the ladder, and she follows me. Once on the ground she rakes again, gesturing at it and then at us, trying her hardest to communicate. The little human is offering a trade. “I think she wants to work.” I tilt my head. “She’ll do chores if we let her sleep here.” The girl claps her hands in front of her and blinks the widest, saddest, sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life. For a moment, I’m enraptured by them. “No,” hisses Drazak. “No way.” “Aww, why not?” I lean forward, supporting my hands on my knees while I inspect her closely. The human shrinks back. “You said you wanted a dog, didn’t you?” “You can’t be serious.” He lets out a moan of anguish and drags his palm down his face, like he’s trying to rub the frustration out of his skin. “When am I not serious?” I ask cheekily."
I love all three of these characters individually and together of course but I gotta say, Drazak the Secret Cinnamon Roll Grump will forever have a special place in my heart. The trio has a few ups and downs that are well written, reasonable issues to have, and only resolve with communication and rebuilding of trust. The relationship is a true triad partnership with all parties loving and being loved in return which is everything I could ask for in a love story. 5/5 Stars
