“Within minutes, the magnificent creature who had just shown me such incredible pleasure was once again a small green frog sitting on my pillow”
I love Adrian Blue’s writing but SPOILER he doesn’t even have a penis here, I feel we’ve missed out on weird frog-man dick 🐸

This is Aaliyah's fault entirely.
Very short, took maybe 20 minutes to read, but I'd like those 20 minutes back please. Written well enough & I'm super happy for anyone who's skeeze this is exactly, but it is emphatically not for me. Some specific NSFW sass below the spoiler jump to protect the innocent:
In all, an insane time, and exactly the reason I still pay for Kindle unlimited.

Yet again, loving Adrian blue
I’ve found that even though I’m not into frogs or lizards, I absolutely love Adrian blues writing style. The detail is always amazing. I’ve decided to read all of the books that Adrian blue has published, that I’m able to find. So far, I’ve read all of the Christmas themed ones and a few others. There’s so many that I’ve absolutely loved and some that I’ve just enjoyed because it’s this author.

1.8/5
Don’t know what I expected but I didn’t like it. No penis action, just fingering, and no HEA.
Monster (frog man water spirit). 42 year old corporate woman who gardens. “I owe you my life”. No romance. No penis? No OMD/OWD/cheating/breakup. No epilogue. No pregnancy.

I'm always here for the weird. Adrian Blue generally delivers on that note.
This was super short (22 pages). As others mentioned, a distinct and disappointing lack of frog-man D.
Cute enough, though.

DIFFERENT!
If you want a quick story here you go. If you want magic here it is. The only difference I had is the frog remained in frog form, but upright, like the cover instead of changing into humanoid form.

Bit of a prince charming vibe as this creature thanks his goddess on caring for the garden...and he is VERY thankful.

Froggy
Adrian stories are out of this world, over the top. Not to be taken seriously but I love them. Especially all the steam.

well written but not my cup of tea. he is literally just a 7ft tall frog. someone is the target audience but it’s not me.
