A man named Connor is punished for being kind of a man-whore and is cursed by a scorned witch to become a rake in some random woman’s garage.

Because of …. *reasons* …… that woman engages in *behaviors* with Connor, the sentient rake.

I laughed!

CW: explicit sexual content

This is not the kind of rake I’m used to…

I didn't expect the rake action to go that way but I cackled and the ending was cute in a super horny kind of way so it was all unhinged good fun.

2.5 stars. Boy, oh boy, some of these girls. I tell ya. Our lead, Taylor, is treated as a lovely little slam pig by both a possessed rake, Connor, and her boyfriend, of sorts, Kyle. And even by both simultaneously, akin a Chinese finger trap. The way that girl could work a garden tool. Kissing the tongs, working the wooden base, and let's not forget the telepathy going on, either. Very sexy stuff. This was my first rake erotica. Hi all...my name is Peter Topside...and I'm a bizarro erotica junkie.

okay here's my review.

too much Kyle, not enough Rake. wanted more Rake play but Kyle wasn't the worst. wasn't weird or funny enough. sorry.

[Bri The Shameless Romance Reader · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is literally a short erotic story about a modern day rake becoming an actual gardening rake. It was kinky, short and a little wild. A fun read for anyone who is into sentient object romances/erotica. (Yes that is a sentences I didn’t see myself typing this year, but here we are! 😂)

Get down, tater tot!

I can’t believe I just gave 4 stars to a book about a sentient rake.
It was hilarious, and I’ll never touch a spatula in someone else’s home ✨ever again✨ and I’m not helping anyone on yard day 👀

The leaves definitely did not rake themselves.

[Simone · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one left my head spinning.

Ok this was so good! Connor gets cursed to be a rake after sleeping with his GF's twin sister, oops! Taylor needs to rake up these leaves before the trash guy gets there and Kyle is her friends with manyyy benefits. I mean I haven't blushed at a book in a hot minute and this has me RED. Kyle could spank me with kitchen utensils any day. Some smutty fun and telepathic banter later, Connor is free and the three live happily ever after (jealous). Fun, hot, short read! Definitely a must read!

Hilarious

3.5 -
I’m tempted to give more

Another fun smutty short read with surprisingly good writing. This one is actually rather cute and way less smutty than it could have been 😂 wild, I know.
I also have absolute respect for a 35 pages book that features a prologue AND epilogue AND two MMCs AND dual POV. 👏

Maybe I'm biased because I have my own Kyle...but this was hella entertaining! I'm not yucking Taylor's yum because I would not stick a rake in my lady bits, but girl was having a great time! Good for her!!

When you realize love might come from a yard work accessory. Love…lust…or simply the correct shape…in the correct place. Either way—maximum connection, minimal protection, and absolutely no gardening gloves involved.

[Melinda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn’t know I needed rake smut in my life, but now I find myself with the urge to buy a physical copy for the shelves.

I had fun with this one! Simple, smutty, and surprisingly sweet. Taylor finds a mysterious new rake in her garage and she can hear its voice in her mind. Decides to help it become human again in an unexpected threesome. Props to Kyle for just going along with whatever she was into at the time.

I couldn’t sleep so I read this for the LOLs. What a wild ride 🤪🫣😂

[Hannah · Rating 2 out of 5]

LOL- that is all

[Kimbot the Destroyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I legit wonder why so many of these are bdsm focused. Kyle is the best. So chill, this guy.

[Kerry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another weird and fun sentient object KU novella, could have read another 35 pages with more of the three of them together. … it’s a good thing my family doesn’t follow my GR reviews.

[Robyn G · Rating 5 out of 5]

The vibes were vibing 😂

[Romancing the Reader · Rating 3 out of 5]

No words just vibes…

Yea I’m not going to review this with more words than were in the book. But… wow. Uh. Yeah. That was certainly something.

[Emma Morgan · Rating 1 out of 5]

In my defence.. I read this as a joke after it was sent to me by a friend. What the actual fuck is this book. That friend can now pay for my therapy.

[WhippedStitchReads (J.A.Y) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly? A HUGE MISSED OPPORUNITY

The spice scene with the rake could have been more detailed instead of a slow fade to black....

I'm actually quite mad about it lol

[Jordan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The cackles I descended into when I realized that Connor, the very definition of a rake, got turned into an actual rake! The sheer poetry of that plot point alone was beautiful.

And Kyle, God bless him. Everyone needs a friend who doesn't blink at your weird kinky requests! I love that he didn't even question Taylor's sudden interest and need for a random new rake; he just went along with it because that's what Taylor wanted. WHAT A MAN!

I've only read one other book in this series so far, but it's so much fun to read. They're silly but I've had a smile on my face the whole time I've been reading them. Life is serious enough....I need some silly happily-ever-afters
