I really wanted to like this and people who like shifter/mate stories probably will. But it should come with trigger warnings for workplace violence and questionable consent issues. The power dynamics are borderline abusive and there are seriously toxic aspects to this relationship. It also feels like the author is continuously trying to gaslight the listener into thinking the actions are OK because mates can act this way. The narration is excellent, but even a favorite narrator couldn’t get me through this.

I DNF after a non consensual spanking continued after one MC said “don’t” and the story explained he could have fought to move but didn’t, suggesting that constitutes consent. It doesn’t.
