I joined a certain Discord server back in April, just 2 weeks too late to have participated in the buddy read and consequential 3 hour long voice chat to discuss the intricacies involved in Morning Glory Milking Farm. It will go down in history as one of my biggest regrets.
It's hard to sit here and try to write a serious review about a book that is so serious in regards to minotaur “milking”. It's all very clinical - when you ignore the fact that the FMC Violet's very first solo mission results in her falling in love first, with an appendage, and then, eventually, the bull to which it is attached. There's scrubs, and sterilization (not that kind, obvs) procedures, and barcode labels and industrial strength lubricant.
But it wouldn't be a romance book if there wasn't also the compulsory sweet moments when they meet outside of the farm for the first time, or she learns that he always eats dessert first, and he comforts her when there's a death in the family, etc. There's personal growth and shared intimacies and hallmark jokes.
All in all it's not nearly appalling as one would assume. The writing is decent, although, once again, it would benefit from a stronger editor as there were several typos in my copy, and that just gets under my skin. I don't know that I'll read the entire series, but being a Mothman fan, you know I picked up Sweet Berries, so I'll report back in after I read that one.
