I adored My Once Handsome Husband, and I really wanted to love this book. The author can legit write, but things fell off a bit in this story. It started off really strong, but around the middle it got rocky. The plot judges one character for "putting everyone in danger", then the ML does the same thing. The ML is in a rush to kill the dragons that day, despite how much easier it would be if they just wait a day. Everyone is broken and bruised and magically better the next night. This could have been solved with the occasional "they rested a week". I just couldn't finish it when I hit the "FL suffers depression so ML can surprise her" ending, especially when both characters' growth was all about not keeping secrets.
I really like this story, but this is starting to be too unbelievable. She has no idea of the basics of s*x and natural birth control, yet she lives among pirates and her mother is a healer. Mason has only done procreative s*x with her? No foreplay? The man was a cad and likely surrounded by people who were very concerned about potential illegitimate heirs.
The pirates are all gonna be like "Oh, wait, you were trying to keep that a secret as you mooned over each other in this tiny cavern and before that on our tiny ship." 😆
LOL, I thought she was pivoting to make him talk about his plans for the dragons. 😆
Makes me wonder what their sleeping arrangement looked like. 😅
Riftan, take notes. This is how you protect someone you care about from the big dangerous world. Give them the skills to protect themselves.
Thank goodness somebody realizes he's a grown man and can't go into a married woman's bedroom.
Says the woman who notoriously had several children with a married man!
Again? [img=thinking]
This reminds me of how Delaney was awestruck the first time she went to the Pirate Kings's house.
Says the woman who caused an avalanche that destroyed an entire monster army.
I was just thinking about how it all comes full circle
Yeah, Agnes is a good friend to them both. Riftan just lacks any emotional maturity
And saved his butt.
OMG, people, she is his friend. She noticed his emotions and got him out of the room. She's checking in with him. Of course she knows he's upset.
And the poor man spends the next couple of years trying to reconcile the fantasy and reality
Remember that the spell that Ruth used that Riftan got addicted to was the same illusion spell meant to confuse enemy combatants. This scene is both romantic and completely logical. ♥️
Ruth can keep up by warming himself and otherwise caring for his needs with magic.
