I would call this book "communication issues, but cute about it?"

Freeing Luka but at what cost? I hate them. It took the whole bloody book (and it literally gets rough again) to get out of their own way and admit they love each other even though he called her love most of the book and you know and they know they’re mates for most of it. But also if he said it again I was going to smack him with my kindle (I’d figure it out okay?!) 

Heres my mental breakdown of this book bc I have some thoughts: 

1. They're aliens (feels obvious but Alice had to be constantly reminded)
2. She’s human (Luka had to be reminded)
3. Idk if MY translator was off but idk why alien women move on to the next marriage after having a child with the current male
4. It was like 42% of the book before they do little more than kiss
5. We reached 80%…..is there a therapist on this planet?
6. Why is there so much sexual tension bw Alice and Verakko if her and Luka are mates. Poly maybe?
7. Ohhh he's the next book. Too afraid to look now. Afraid of the disappointment. 
8. They opened the doors to free the women at the other bad facilities and just told the rest of their worlds population to look out for some terrified earthlings bc that’s the best they can do with all their fancy technology. 
9. Alice and Luka finally said I love you and I hate them

Great second book in the series.
I really enjoyed Luka and Alice's story!
Loved that Alice took her time to make sure how she truly felt.

man this one was good!! i was really invested in the beginning while they were both kidnapped and the ending where they were FINALLY getting somewhere. the middle part kinda dragged for me, but i still had a great time.
