As it says, there’s no happy ending here. This one definitely made me feel uneasy, but then, that’s the point, really. Even in a non-con situation, I still enjoyed the “sweetheart”, “pretty” and intercrural.

[Sully (sulliedjedi)]

Very short but still pulls you in. Reading the blurb and anticipating reading it made me more uncomfortable than actually reading it.

A jogger gets a surprise by a cop.

I recommend all of D Dove's books and novellas!

Short noncon erotica, no HEA.

Dove’s writing is so good, i wish this was longer. Just some noncon nipple pinching and intercrural

This was not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't normally seek out stories with no HEA/HFN, but I like this author's writing and ideas, so I didn't mind. A bit sad that it was so short, but overall I liked it.

Can't wait for what else they write.

Short, dark, and dirty.
This six-dove short by D. Dove dives headfirst into non-con territory, where power imbalance reigns and consent is nowhere to be found. Ernest, out for a morning run, catches the eye of a cop, and not in a good way.

There’s no softness here. No comfort. No redemption. Just raw, unsettling intensity as the cop takes what he wants, leaving Ernest shaken and scared. It’s brutal, it’s fast, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else.

If you’re looking for sweetness or a happily-ever-after, turn back now. But if you crave something dark, spicy, and unhinged—this one delivers.

Vibes:
• Non-con
• Power imbalance
• High spice
• Cop/civilian dynamic
• No HEA

Rating: 4 ⭐️
Spice: 4 🌶

Don't get me wrong, it is dark and it is a level six book, but I expected a little more. Basically, I was expecting the D Dove of today, forgetting that the D Dove of then was testing the waters, so to speak, of what works and what doesn't and how many freaks will read something. The answer is several.

That’s it?

[BookRealmRoamer]

Quick non-con read, ends with you wondering what will happen next! I enjoyed it, but know there’s no HEA or HFN. It’s purely non-con!

[MunWolfieSNM]

Los libros de Dove siempre me dejan con ganas de más, deberían ser más largos porfaplis.

A este entre sin saber de qué iba y wow. That was intense.

[Maureen]

Very short and covering an unpleasant situation as a man who was just going for an early morning run ends up with more that he bargained for. Also it's a VERY frustrating ending.

[Kim B]

Hmmm...this could have been hot, but it was not. Very much non-con / rape.

[Aiden Messer]

This one was definitely dark and uncomfortable. Interesting ideas, too

i saw a 6 on the dove scale and got excited. i knew it was short but that’s normally okay with me. but i was very underwhelmed lol. maybe that says more about me 😭

[Gavy Vera]

⭐⭐⭐ 3/5.

Cortisimo pero okay.

This one is a freebie from SW. As someone who loves whump and non HEAs, I need a full series of this lol, I'm intriged to know more of the aftermath. I can always trust D. Dove to deliver this type of plots.
