Violet is living her best (read: worst) 20-something millennial life. Overeducated, underemployed, and drowning in debt, she's one avocado toast away from being forced to move back home with her overbearing parents and their baby rabies. When a new - but incredibly unconventional - job opportunity falls into her lap, she's ready to grab life by the horns and try something new. Morning Glory Milking Farm is a dream come true - all the benefits, full-time hours with generous pay, and no experience needed.
There's just one fine line of print hiding behind the farm-core, small-batch aesthetic: this isn't your average milkmaid job, and the clientele is USDA certified lean, mean minotaurs. Nevertheless, Violet is ready to put her eldest daughter work ethic to the test. When a stern and deep voiced client begins requesting her specifically for his appointments, Violet's simple dreams of buying the name-brand orange juice and paying down her credit cards may go up in the smoke of her lust-fueled, one-sided desire if she isn't careful - doubly so if that desire isn't so one-sided after all.
So listen, I, like you, read the description and trigger warnings (which are listed boldly everywhere, so no claiming you didn't know what you were walking into) and decided to pick this book up anyway thinking it was just going to be an unbelievably horny monster romance, and I was right. But tell me why it's also so much more than that, and why I both enjoyed it for what it was and still think about it in the context of ethical consumption under capitalism days later! I think that the book that can grab you by the yolk (it is a minotaur romance after all) and keep you for the sexy, sexy plot while also making you consider the bigger points in life is a rare book indeed, and "Morning Glory Milking Farm" in all its horny nonsense managed to do just that.
Absolutely do not read what I wrote and expect to walk into deep academic discourse - this is a romance book between a human and an oversized bull man with a bullhead and bull proportions, and the FMC is very, very turned on my her hoofed client. This story is raging hormones (and hormone-fueled "milk"). It's a ridiculous premise and I absolutely felt very silly squealing over it while listening at the gym, but if you can suspend disbelief and prepare to have fun with a silly, slutty book that also has some food for thought sprinkled throughout, then this is a book you should pick up - especially if you watched "Zootopia" and thought that you'd really like to visit here. A fun time was had by all (especially Violet), and I will be seeking out more books in this series when I need a fun, frisky, yet somehow still cozy and introspective read between some of the other heavy-subject books I have on my TBR.
