2.75/5
Summary: Almost 20 years after a town-wide poisoning left him invisible, the coffee shop owner MMC strikes up an online friendship and romance with a scarred and somewhat shut in FMC who he never intends to meet in person - until she shows up in town.
Stats: CR/PNR, M/F, open door, part of a series but stand alone, novella
Notes: This had some interesting moments, but really, it was just too short to develop anything well enough. I would have found it more interesting if the development of the epistolary relationship got more time rather than being jumped over. Finally, once again, no, no, no - your parents being Irish doesn’t mean you have any great likelihood of having an Irish accent yourself after never having lived in Ireland. It’s just not how it works the vast majority of the time - why, why was this added? It makes no sense and is completely unnecessary.
OTT and Spoilery Content Notes:
Disfiguring accident/poisoning, touch starved MMC, alcohol, epistolary/online romance, sexting, phone sex, ginger MMC (sort of), scarred FMC, some creative sex safety, jealousy, spider/mouse animal experimentation, trying to conceive/mentions of pregnancy in future
