This book didn’t even give the pretense of anything else but erotica. And not that it has to, but the first was written pretty well so it set me up to be disappointed.
I’m not into voyerism so I was ready to meet the moth man right away. The plot was moving slow and focusing on the 🌶️ with dubious consent!
Everything Merrick says sounds like he’s a murderer 😂 and that tongue is ridiculous! Even for being fantasy monster erotica, why is his tongue 40 feet long?
For someone that doesn’t want to date, Grace sure was acting datey. She puts on one tease show for a creature outside her window, he finds her place of employment and suddenly they’re spending time together under the guise of showing him around because he’s new in town. All that to say, the characters motivations were questionable.
She starts out wanting no strings attracted attention from her peeping Tom (I’m judging but whatever) then of course he’s charming so she likes him and wants to spend time. Nothing we haven’t seen before but I just didn’t feel like it was done well.
Maybe it was the lack of build in their romance. Idk, I also listened to this while doing literally everything else in my day so I probably missed some stuff too.
Also, for as much as Nascosta talked about the politics of the town, she sure didn’t do anything with it. I guess it was kinda important background for her getting that big account for the farm. (Was that the conflict? I can’t even remember now).

Things I could have gone my whole life without reading but laughed so loudly at:
- C*ck pocket!
- Lady garden.
Inner monologue in the last chapter:
- Finally! A character with some good communication
- Op nvm. All that big-gesture romance for no reason
Short and sweet. Morning Glory Milking Farms was def better though.
