Vibes- Fine, Meh
Confusion whiplash
The were parts of this that made no sense to me like even though she has trust issues, she trusts Rok right from the start with her safety and her identity but the mating bond is an issue for her? The heist part of the story was completely unnecessary for the plot. If he'd agreed to take her of planet some where safe then the story would have been the same. Also everyone knows you can't buy your way out of a shady contract with shady people because the interest is infinite.

am 100% trying to chase the high from Desire in His Blood so this is me trying to start a new series.
3.5 ⭐ overall?
This was a good set up for the series. (Also, these are surprisingly quick reads ~200-250 pages a piece). There definitely felt like there was some inconsistencies with the pacing but still enjoyable.
Tara is a tough human, all alone on an alien world after escaping her abductors. She's adapted and wary of all aliens at this point (which, you know, smart.)
Love her and Rok's slow burn as they learn to trust each other and get to know one another. And loved their near-death experience, adrenaline-induced frenzied ✨moment✨ and everything that happened after 😏🔥
Definitely will continue with the next book.

The first book of this new series by Presley Hall was a delightful read! Tara and Rok had a wonderful romance, and their story meshed into the world created in previous stories, while not needing them to be understandable. I enjoyed the slow burn as Tara and Roc came to trust each other and worked together to conquer their enemies and earn their HEA. I’m very much looking forward to the next book in the series!

I really enjoyed this alien romance. I felt there was decent character development and some very stramy scenes but I maybe won't read the rest of the series.

I enjoyed this book as a whole. I've read a few alien romances and this kind of followed the same usual plot/storyline.
I don't really have many complaints but ONE that does stand out is the "alien language" why does EVERY alien romance that I read seem to use the same words.... Instead of the word F@*k they always say "Vreck" which annoyed me more than I would like to admit.
Other than that, I will probably read the next book in the series.
