This series is based or at least inspired by the story of residents of Fairhaven in a world when mythical creatures are real and co-exist with humans in relative harmony. Because the story is highly based on the series they do not go into details relating to the world building but rather chose to focus on the characters as a whole. That being said, they do mention how the mythical creatures are treated differently to their human counterparts and it is a central part of the story.
In this book the neighbors are orc and human, with the orc being in the 'rut' stage of his yearly cycle and struggling to stay away from his human who will just not relent in their pursuit and having to wait for the orc to come around. The main reason why I gave this story a rating of 3 stars is because of the style of writing, a lot of it was pushy and unrealistic which I know should be a given because of the fantasy aspect but in this story with the realistic setting it doesn't really work.
