 Welp, cross that off my to do list - I have read a "forbidden romance" well a short story, I know I'm a chicken but hey baby steps.

Weird that I'm okay with a 50 year old Orc dating a 20 year human/elf/wiccan but a 57 year old human man and 18-20 year old woman gives me the heebie jeebies. I must unpack this. But later.

Plot/Storyline/Themes:
I had this vision of all the triggers abd cobtent warnings just flooding the page but you know it wasn't half bad. Now I'm by no means going the way of Dark Taboo Romance when I've barely even scratched the surface of every other romance subgenre - but I didn't hate this at all.

Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Lol Fran's grandma is mentioned early on but you kind of get why as she's describing nana's 3rd married to Oli and click, it all falls into place.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :

Uhm..well let's see...yep all of it.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts :
