The Carver by Penelope Sky

I will willingly admit I got thirst trapped by the cover on this one.

No complaints from me about the narration of the ALC I received, however, I got ick early on in the read feeling dead triggered by the image of a man yelling at sports on a tv (and that's on me).

If you like some toxic behaviour and relationship jumping in your spice this could be for you, so don't let me yuck your yum, you're absolutely welcome to find out for yourself.

For me though, it's giving big make believe underground narrative. It's giving he's angry and she's flailing. Ultimately, I think the way we talk about power in the context of female roles can be indulged and highlighted in more consistent ways. A champagne bubble bath doesn't smell quite as good when it's a demand and it's screaming, you're going to make her grovel for a guilded cage?
