Love, Like Water by Rowan Speedwell
Jan. 21st, 2019 04:10 pmLove, Like Water
DNF. M/M about the severely traumatized law enforcement officer recovering from heroin addiction going off to his relative's horse farm and recovering through the power of animals and love of a good man. This is the sort of thing that used to really push my buttons, and now just bores me. And I'm really tired of that thing where the degree of trauma is somehow a measure of the strength of the love, you know? It leads to authors putting characters in wildly over-the-top traumatic situations, and more to the point, that's not how either trauma or love works.
