I haven't read it, but based on this review, I have a couple thoughts...

If he's 32 and it's been 20 years, then he wasn't a teenager when she turned to stone. A quibble maybe, but something that jumped out to me in the ad copy.

As for "that line," considering how much hentai and some fanservicey anime use the milk/cream analogy for a certain bodily fluid, the pastry euphemism seems like the next logical step...

Well, at least the writing of the romance holds up, if not the sex scenes.

A literary masterpiece right up there with "Two years' worth...made a glopping noise." Laughing
