Not the smoothest writing and the pace speeds up as the story goes but still a very cute story; snuggly puppy piles, almost talking, scents of arousal and er farts - yes, you did read that right!
Adorbs. Yes Derek is constipated. But I enjoyed Stiles’ take-action and non-drama approach (after the Hurt, that one really did sting!) The first farting was fine, sorta cute silly interlude. I didn’t feel the second fart and minor hurt really added to the story, but I think the author wanted to extend their pre-sleep puppy pile time to cover all the different cycles and emotions…. or maybe they just like fart jokes! 😆
I love it when an author manages to pull a rug from under my feet with emotions. With so few well placed words I was in Tsiles mind feeling the rejection he got from Derek. No more full moon puppy piles for Siles :( Everything bout it felt on point.
The aftermath of how Siles eventually did end up back in the middle of the puppy pile was the fluff I needed.
Stiles being oblivious to the hidden meaning behind being asked not to attend puppy pile nights... But it's Stiles... he usually gets his werewolf in the end...
Alas, Stiles is NOT 18 yet and there is no sex, no kissing. Remarkably I still feel the connection between them so good job!
