Good, solid story and I enjoyed it!
Human MMC Nat was kind of unlikable at first but he comes around as the story progresses and he learns things that skew his attitude. I didn't care for some of the lack of communication at the beginning between Nat and minotaur MMC Asterius, but it did have a canon reason for it that's explained later so I was mostly placated.
The only other thing was that it felt like they hooked up a little too fast. It happens about half way through the story but in terms of in-story time, it's like two days and barely knowing each other. It also felt a little instalove as well since all the great quality traits they state they like about each other... well, it sounds nice but we the reader don't see it for ourselves on the page. A shortcoming of the length of the book. :/
In any case, I liked it and am totally going to go devour another one of these by Delaney Rain. Can't wait!
