Listen, it’s fun. It’s got a grumpy protective hero, a Latina heroine (more explicitly a 3rd generation Mexican-American; I can appreciate the specificity!), a close proximity and fake relationship premise, and a cute fuzzy alien pet. It’s light hearted adventure that you can listen to when you just need a f-cking break. A little treat, if you will. That’s what the books in this Clecanian series taste like - a little tidbit of escapist fluff.
My primary gripe is that the narrator struggles with the Spanish language text included in the story. It’s heavily accented by non-fluency and comes across rather harshly.
Reminder that this series is centered around human women being abducted and brought to Clecania, where they are highly sought after as mates for procreation. It’s rife with gender essentialism so take from that what you will.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
