De: Celeste King

Narrado por: Midnite Michael, Mia Madison

I was lucky to find my soulmate. And cursed to have lost him so soon after . . .

I thought Tarfu was my happy ending. Until he went missing in battle. At first I waited patiently. Then anxiously. Then finally, hopelessly.

Three years have passed. Orc males in his clan begin to circle me. Looking to claim me.

But if I know my mate, Tarfu will never stop till he comes back to me. He will always be searching for me. Always loving me.

And when he comes through my door again, my face will break out in joy. And I'll present him a gift for finally making it back to us.

Our son.

Contains mature themes.

I was triggered until I quit listening just no!

This book left me deeply unsettled. The male protagonist’s behavior isn’t just flawed—it’s a masterclass in toxic insecurity. After returning from three years of captivity, he immediately weaponizes baseless suspicions against his mate, refusing to communicate or acknowledge her years of sacrifice. Instead of gratitude for her raising their child alone, he twists every act of village kindness into evidence of infidelity, even doubting his son’s paternity despite celebrating the pregnancy himself.

The wife’s passivity is equally frustrating. Rather than confront his cruelty, she endlessly pines for him, reducing her character to a vessel for undeserved loyalty. The narrative frames emotional abuse as “angst,” romanticizing a dynamic where accountability is nonexistent. I couldn’t finish because it felt less like a story and more like an endorsement of harmful tropes.
