A blistering short story that will leave you a hot mess!

In the forbidden shadows of the Blackwood, desperate bride-to-be Arwen flees from a life of mistreatment and control. What she discovers instead is Torak — the last of an ancient, monstrous race whose savage exterior hides something truly unexpected.

Their raw, boundary-pushing journey explores how true freedom might be found in willing submission. When the whip becomes liberation, Arwen must choose between the familiar world or embracing the monster.

Not for the faint of heart!

Whoa, this one was intense!

Typical fmc about to marry some guy who is an ass in private yet a golden boy in public. She runs away because she would rather be eaten by monsters than marry him. She's in luck because she runs into a monster that eventually does "eat" her 😉
I ADORE how even though the mmc is big and threatening, he's actually soft and caring. I would have loved more of his backstory and what happened to his kind.
That ending threw me as I didn't care for the brutality even given the ok from the fmc- it was too much for me.

Really Enjoyed

Nice short story. I loved how well the story was written even if the plot was small for this book.
