Description
Niall Giles, who works as an administrative assistant at a port, is popular because he is kind and friendly. He is neither the most handsome nor the strongest in town, but when ten women gather, one or two of them would surely like Niall. One day, an old friend named Gerard comes to Niall with a commission. It is to help the Northern Grand Duke of Shiralund, who suffers from severe contact aversion. After hearing that his enormous debt could be written off and he would gain freedom by completing the commissioned task, Niall headed for the North, but the Duke does not give him a chance to approach……. “Am I repulsive, Duke? Please do not do that. I came here to help you.”

My Thoughts on Purple Heart
"Purple Heart" is a web novel that took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, and while I ultimately enjoyed the ride, it wasn't without its bumps. This omegaverse tale set in a medieval-esque world, complete with aristocracy and power dynamics, certainly has a unique charm that kept me hooked.
First Impressions
I initially jumped into "Purple Heart" intrigued by its premise: a scarred alpha Duke/King and an experienced omega navigating a political marriage. The idea of a slow-burn romance, where both leads grapple with past trauma and societal expectations, was definitely appealing. I was also drawn to the promise of character growth and a confident protagonist who takes the initiative.
What Works Well
The early chapters really shine. The dynamic between the MC and ML is captivating, watching them slowly shed their prejudices and develop genuine affection was incredibly rewarding. I particularly enjoyed the MC's proactive role in initiating intimacy and helping the ML overcome his aversion to touch. The author does a great job portraying the ML's internal struggles, offering hilarious glimpses into his flustered and often obsessive thoughts. I found myself rooting for this couple, eager to see them find happiness despite their troubled pasts. The mature themes are handled delicately, and the explicit scenes, while present, don't overshadow the emotional core of the story.
Areas of Concern
However, the latter half of the novel felt less polished. Several plot points felt rushed, and the characters' emotional resolutions seemed underdeveloped. The misunderstandings between the main couple, while adding drama, sometimes felt repetitive and frustrating. Also, the story contains elements that may be triggering for some readers, including themes of sexual abuse and instances that blur the line of consent.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Purple Heart" has a certain addictive quality. The intriguing premise, the compelling characters, and the slow-burn romance kept me invested until the very end. However, the uneven pacing and the handling of sensitive themes prevent me from giving it a higher rating. I'd recommend "Purple Heart" to readers who enjoy omegaverse stories with mature themes and are willing to navigate some potentially triggering content. Overall, I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
