Book #2

Dragon Love by Jun Mayama

3 stars out of 5

Similar to Ayano Yamane's "Viewfinder", a story playing with dub/non-con and the Stockholm Syndrome. In this manga though, most encounters between Kyosuke and Feifon are of the dub variety, not outright non-con (there's only once scene like that, if I remember correctly) - Feifon usually gives Kyosuke the chance to call for help but Kyosuke doesn't. Why? Because he's really bored with his life in general and with his fiancée in particular and Feifon, as arrogant and domineering as he is, gives Kyosuke exactly what he needs.

Book #3

"My King’s Seraglio" by Ann T. Ryan

4 stars out of 5

This was the first "official" - as in published - mpreg story I've ever read and I enjoyed it very, very much. I was glad that the author didn't get stuck in heaps and piles of unnecessary detail and even though I would've preferred more world-building - what with the story taking place in a fantasy setting - it flowed nicely and I found all the characters more than likable.
