This is written with a lot of heart, and the author seems lovely! It could just have done with another few rounds of editing. The grammar is a bit hard to read past, there's a couple of confusing plot holes / continuity issues, and the pacing could do with some revision (slow burn slow burn slow burn slow burn MARRIED). But the characters are interesting, the plot's touching, and for a gay erotic-romance the world building is surprisingly intense.
