Comadrin's manga / #heartwarming story(4)

I loved it! After the plethora of toxic MLs dominated by macho pride and testosterone and the doormat FLs who would forgive the ML for being a child molester, this was a breath of fresh air. The ML was kind of a dope initially, but got some sense slapped into him (enjoyed that scene). By far the best thing, though, was his foster father's line at the end on page 130, possibly the best line ever in an Harlequin.

Really nice story. FL was a strong woman with a mind of her own who wasn't intimidated by snobby jerks, and the ML was a decent man who, instead of the usual Harlequin trope of using childhood trauma to be a complete a**hole, decided to become a better human being because of it. Wish more Harlequin MLs had that kind of character instead of using all their energy to become the ultimate douchebag.

Loved it! There was no one to hate, and there was actual humour.

Very well done story about decent people overcoming tragedy and circumstances. No forced drama or ridiculous misunderstandings and no unforgivable conduct. A definite winner.
