Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.

It had its good moments but I must admit this felt pretty forgettable. I’m just waiting for Poppy and Viol’s story, really. I was more invested in the parts about those two guys than I was the actual MCs.

One part of me really loves that this author writes plus size characters, but another part of me is sometimes mildly triggered by the way they’re described because of my own issues. Bit of a tricky situation for me, but obviously not the author’s fault. Mostly it’s really nice tho, and clearly much-needed rep.

These books are fun and low angst, but I’m in the mood for more serious books with more angst lately, so maybe it would’ve worked better for me another time.

“You know, you’re swearing a lot for a babysitter,” I pointed out. “Minty’s too young to remember,” Viol dismissed. His face brightened when he tickled the top of the fluffy dragonet’s head. “Isn’t that right, cutie?” “Fack!” Mint exclaimed. The kitchen fell dead silent. Viol and I stared at each other. In a low voice, he warned, “If you tell anyone where he learned that word, I’ll skin you.”

The bear was silent as he stared. Two small black eyes were focused on me, standing out like an adorable pair of buttons on a huge patch of white. He was really, really cute.

Mesmerized, my gaze drifted lower. The first thing I noticed was Rorik’s big belly. It looked so soft, especially with the dusting of pale hair. I wanted to bury my face in it. Rorik was fat, but clearly fit. Powerful biceps lurked beneath the flab of his arms, and his hairy thighs were as thick as tree trunks. He looked strong enough to lift the couch with one hand. In summary, he was really fucking hot.

“Did you just call me the light of your life?” I chuckled wetly. “That’s gay, dude.”
