To Have and To Hold by M.L. Roberts

ends on a severe cliffhanger but also flashback and honestly i don’t give a fuck what happened in her past. i want the now. i love unpacking her paranoia, trauma, neglect, and abandonment in real time as she grapples with not one but TWO MEN in her life accusing her of neglecting her life and overreacting. i don’t care if they’re good guys in the end they are both so cruel and manipulative towards her it’s WILD.

who the fuck is amber white

could have been 100 pages shorter if the author didn’t bootlick a thesaurus and wax poetic trying to describe scenery and inner turmoil. not every moment needs to be your magnum opus babes. wildly fatphobic rhetoric used that didn’t in any capacity add to raymond’s character or villainy. i just know the author watched the whale and cried calling it peak cinema.

truly refreshing point of view from a lord’s daughter who reigned as lord interim until her brothers returned home. she’s a warlord in her own right and that shit was mad sexy.

this was quite literally all exposition plot though. nothing happened that was not expositional. they rutted fully clothed at most. felt like book 1 was split in half and book 2 is likely where the rest of it wound up…

plot plot plot!

very narrative focused, plot heavy. which is something i’m used to in high fantasy. smut was fine. bro is built like a rabbit vibrator… works like one too. was definitely more about self liberation and finding your inner power than about wild alien cock.
