I never knew how much I needed to see “Goblin” as an endearing pet name, but I’m so sold. Tam is the grumpiest, most self-loathing and untrusting man who has found himself stuck in a rut. Through the meddling of some delightfully crude gods, and his infinitely patient “enemy-with-benefits” Nicolau, Tam is able to confront his long-standing abandonment issues and learn that he’s worthy of love. 
There’s angry sex, angry avoidance of sex, SO many dick jokes, and the reluctant acceptance of being goddess-chosen. 

Tam really is a mean little goblin, but I saw so much of myself in him and genuinely loved to see the growth he had to drag himself through. It wasn’t easy, and he wasn’t perfect by the end, but got so see how many people loved him and were ready to fight him about it.
