Never in a million years would I have expected to enjoy a meme fantasy smut romance featuring big beefy minotaurs this much. 🙃
But yeah, Morning Glory Milking Farm was surprisingly sweet, of all freaking things. I can't tell you how surprised I was to discover how good the 'romance' in this thing was, yet there it is. Because this wasn't just very amusing, memey fantasy smut; no no, it actually had a pretty wholesome and believable 'romance', the actual development of a relationship! No intsalove here, no sirree! Something like Fourth Wing can honestly go fuck itself compared to this, that's right I said it! ðŸ¤
Now, don't get me wrong: I couldn't, actually, with the whole minotaur thing. I just... no, I can't, way too close to zoophilia for comfort (not that I think the author endorses zoophilia at all, to be crystal clear). I'm also not into the, ahem, intense fluid dynamics or 'glory-holeness' of this story's smut. 😆 But putting that aside: this thing had surprisingly good prose! There was a really nice rhythm to most of the text's sentences, to the story's overall pacing as well, and I didn't dislike the rather skilful blending of higher-level and cruder vocabulary (some of which absolutely did not work for me, let me tell you, but your mileage will obviously vary widely with this).
The world-building was also surprisingly good, engaging and grounded in 'real life' – despite the fact innumerable therianthropes were also bopping about the page. It kept me intrigued, interested and engaged, and gave off... cozy vibes, for lack of better wording. That's right, I'd honestly go so far as to call this: cozy fantasy smut romance! There was a fair bit of charm here, delightful quirk and, yes, absurdity, because... I mean duh, really. I laughed out loud several times reading this thing – and certainly more than I did reading Ice Planet Barbarians, as a point of comparison.
So yeah: a very nice surprise indeed, which is why I'll happily check out some of the other entries in this series in the future –if only because I really want to know how the fuck sex even works with a... mothman! 😂
PS: can we also just give it up for Rourke, who cared about consent ✅ potential power imbalances ✅ and not hurting his partner due to (significant) anatomical differences ✅ ? #AllMenShouldBeLikeThisByDefault
Also, props to Ms Nascosta for including playful levity and... mishaps, shall we say, in her sex scenes, and acknowledging the fact enjoyable sex can still hurt a bit at the start, even with careful preparation and gentleness – because anatomical limitations do be a thing at the end of the day!
