I think the Narrator tone kind of kills it for me. The whole valley girl preppy voice thing really doesn't cut it for me... and the dragons voice feels more absurd than hot? A little too much gravely growl from a grandma. Theres some weird emphasis on the wrong words or wrong parts of words too.

But beyong that this is definitely a pwp with some hot aspects. If you are into possiveness and mate dynamics as well as a big fan of straps, then this is the dirty fic for you.

The time frame of the story doesn't really work here either. Its contemporary fantasy so like running cars and guns... but dragons are still protectors of a territory? It doesn't really feel like it fits together so well. Not very cohesive over all. I would have liked a little more plot and at least interactions between the primamry charcters but this still tracks as on brand from Ms Marie's works so im not all that phased. ( )
