So that is to say that I generally don't read hetero stuff and for rather good reason, their stories usually suck and so do their characters, especially the woman. I will say though, that this is definitely one of the better ones. Unfortunately I find it hard to trust the ratings on the hetero stuff because the stories are generally lower across the board imo (but in all honestly, I still need to try out newer material), so Ive come across several 9.somethins that were.... Barely passable as decent.
This isn't one of those. Honestly, I think I only have 2 complaints. 1) characters moved past angst so gosh darn quickly that none of the heaviness really had a proper chance to actually be heavy. 2) the sex was so gosh darn vanilla and utterly repetitive that by half way through I was literally just scrolling past it. It's practically copied and pasted from chapter 1-42. Even if he's avoiding positions from the back to avoid biting temptation, there can be a whole lot more to sex than some fingering, cunnilingus, and missionary position. Even the "switch ups" were just the barest variations of the same ol missionary.
Plot was good though and she wasn't such a mousey meek female lead that I disliked her at all. One of the few that felt a touch empowering w/o needing masculine qualities.
