Should I read in order?
This is book 1 of the series!

Basic plot:
Mercedes finds herself very attached to a certain fork in her antique silverware set

Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary sentient romance
- Rhode Island setting (with WWII flashbacks)
- fork shifting hero / human heroine
- you’re okay with the mystery of fork shifting not being solved by the end of the book (it will be a series)
- lower steam – 1 full scene plus some kisses/implied scenes

Ages:
- hero is 25, heroine is 24

First line:
Today is the day.

My thoughts:
I know, I know – it’s a fork romance so did I really expect much?? Well, sadly I was hoping I would love this more! I have plenty of sentient romance under my belt now and some I have really, REALLY loved. This one just didn’t do it for me.

I think parts of it were that I just got a bit bored. We were getting flashbacks and backgrounds of the hero, but nothing is solved by the end of the book and that was a bummer to me. There were separations of the characters and I just wanted them together more and more romance. I was excited about a from the past hero, but something about him just felt really modern. He adjusted really well to modern world and maybe it’s because he has already aligned himself with the supernatural with being a super soldier...but being a fork and being in modern times just didn’t seem to phase him at all haha.

I loved some of steam here – the things he said, and the thoughts he said were definitely my jam – but it overall just felt really light here. The one scene you get is really great and thorough….

I didn’t hate it but I wanted to love it more!

Quotes/thoughts: (Any mistakes are my own)

He looms over me and takes one of my hands in his. I’m both terrified and more than a little turned on. “I know your hand.” He runs a thumb across my bottom lip. “I know your mouth. The taste of you. The feel of you. I crave it. Why?”
---
“Yesterday, did you lick the entire length of the fork?”
“No,” I deny automatically even though a memory of doing exactly that comes back to me.
He buries a hand in my hair, pulls me closer, and tips my head back, so I’m forced to meet his gaze. “Don’t lie to me.”
 

Content warnings: (This should be taken as a minimum because I could have missed some!)

- remembrance of war scenes and death
- experimentation, torture and death
- hero is trapped as a fork...
Author given content warnings: 

This novella is about a World War II super soldier, trapped inside a fork, who can only take human form again by being intimate with a woman. It also contains some violence. 

Locations of kisses/intimate scenes:

 
Safe sex: 

  No? No condoms or birth control discussed that I remember, but pregnancy risk is minimal since he only finishes with a bj in this book 

 
Hows the consent? 

first kiss is questionable (she ‘attempts to move away, but he holds her in place’ ) but overall it's decent 

 
16% - kiss
81% - heroine self pleasure with the fork, then him in human form, her on top, sex against a wall, then bj for him
