I liked this book at first i was confused and couldn’t catch up to what I was reading but then when I was finally understating the book more it became interesting the sexual scenes were so good😩i don’t really have to much to say about this book because it’s a trilogy so I haven’t finished the story yet just book one but so far this book is spicy with no happy ending yet and a cliff hangar there's no love triangle or cheating I don’t have much to say I will have more to say when I finish the trilogy overall i rated this book 3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book deserves 2.75 stars in my opinion. The start of the book was a little hard becauseI had to get used to the world, their names and style of speaking but it got better by the end. I could say it is a guilty pleasure of mine but it lacked story plot and character development in order to receive more stars.
It lacked build up. Everything happened kind of fast.He found the ship. He found her and kept her. She woke up. They had a day or two of fighting but then catched "feelings".
My pet peave wasthat they started to understand each other's language in just a few days.
Also it was way to muchsex in my opinion. A single, well-crafted scene could have been impactful, but the repetition led to a sense of monotony, and I found myself skipping those pages.
Are the characters lovable? Well yes but they are also boring because they have nothing more going on thanbeing horny for each other
But it really is a guilty pleasure of mine as it had made my heart throb a few times.

I put off reading this for a long time because I thought it was going to be a mess. I couldn’t imagine this kind of monster in a romance being compelling, which was incredibly stupid of me. This book was wonderful.
This was a well-crafted story that focused on plot and character over spice. While I am not saying this makes it a more valuable book, it does make it much more enjoyable for me. I liked Ketahn and Ivy a lot. I loved the worldbuilding present. I appreciated the side characters. I went into this books thinking, how the fuck are these two going to make it? And by the halfway point, I was completely sold. Their relationship made sense.
I absolutely will read more from Tiffany Roberts, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to others. It might be a bit much for a monster romance newbie, because envisioning Ketahn as someone worth boning takes a little more work, in my opinion, than a Minotaur or orc. But it’s well worth a read.

Ketahn technically kidnaps Ivy before he realizes her level of intelligence and feeling as a human. They don’t speak the same language and neither has seen an alien before, so there’s some initial confusion and conflict about him taking her from her ship. The assault CW refers to a past relationship with Ivy and to some touching from Ketahn, again before he understands what he’s doing, and Ivy does not experience his touching overly traumatically, but it is there.flintk's review against another edition

What did I just read and why was it the cutest damn thing ever?! Who am I?
Not once in my reading journey did I ever consider spider romance having a spot on my shelf. Yet, here we are.
Ketahn, Mr. Spider, is living away from his 'people' in the super scary and dangerous jungle because there's clearly so sus history between him and the queen. After an expected less-than-enjoyable interaction with that queen, Ketahn finds himself being all moody in the jungle and falls down a sacred hole where - of course - he finds Ivy, and cute lil blonde and preserved in a cryo-sleep tube. Surprise! Ketahn just knows he can't leave without her, she's too...intriguing.
Anyways, he does what you'd expect any hot-blooded male in a romance novel to do and takes her with him. Of course she wakes up and is in total shock - but we are then tucked in by Tiffany Roberts and gifted with a forced-proximity, one-bed, touch-her-and-die masterpiece. *chef's kiss*
Ends on a lil bit of a cliffhanger, nothing crazy but definitely enough to make you pick up book 2 immediately.

This is good. One or two typos, one or two things that happened that made me go 🤨 but overall what a good story. Monsterfucker is so my genre.
I agree with many of the reviews on here already: the blurb is misleading. This is a slow burn romance about two strangers with a language and cultural barrier falling in love as they learn about each other. They're different species, they aren't even from the same planet. But they take the time to learn each other's language. To communicate and to be patient with each other. And honestly it was so pure and lovely watching their relationship flourish.
From now on, I'm viewing relationships with others as an interconnected spiderweb. You can't change my mind.

It takes a while for the world building to all fit into place in the beginning but after that everything just fits and the characters start to really grow on you. Brb while I debate going to church or crying over how much I loved this book and Ketahn
