The Centaur in My Dreams by L.V. Lane
4.0
I loved this story while simultaneously disliking parts of it. Of all the centaur books this author has written, this is by far the best. There's an actual story here, and not just smut! *although the smut is filthy so go in prepared!
This story had plot, character growth, and it wasn't as sploogy as the previous books! It was a much darker side of this world than we've seen before. These centaurs risk their lives almost daily to battle evil creatures who threaten the entire realm. Grimm is their leader, he's brutal, stuck in his ways and a lusty centaur.
Rebecca is a princess. She knows where her life path will take her. Unexpectedly, she thrown into a completely different path and in the sights of Grimm.
As much as I loved this overall story, I could have done without the multiple scenes of him with ow. Yes, this is before he and Rebecca are together, but she is in his presence, cooking and cleaning for him and the other centaurs.
There was an odd juxtaposition between the fact that these centaur warriors needed these Goddess-blessed women to heal their wounds, yet these women were treated so poorly. They lived in a stable, slept in corrals on the hay, and seem addicted to centaur ejaculate. Many of them have survived horrific tragedies so this stable life feels like they are cared for and of use.
I loved how this story comes full-circle from Grimm's childhood to where they end up living.

I want to stab him in the heart, or maybe slit his throat. I also want his hands upon me, and it’s difficult to decide which I desire the most.I loved her character arc.
I've been broken down into pieces, ground into dust, and remade again. Pieces were lost during the process, and new ones found their way in.*Slight spoilers below*

Had a Goddess worshiping herd found me, I’d be living a very different story, one where omegas are cherished and mated to one and only one.It's not necessary in the centaurs culture to treat women this way, just Grimm's leadership. However, the other reason this book was so good, was Grimm's character arc as well. I really loved Grimm. He goes from a focused warrior tirelessly battling evil, into someone who yearns for a future with Rebecca. He has hopes and dreams and it finally seems those are within reach.
