Another "get pregnant for us!"
I'm so sick of this trope. If you're into that, all the best to you and this is a good book. I need pregnancy to be a tagged warning at this point. 0/10 and totally ruins the relationship aspect for me.

This story is about Hazel who lives on an earth that is dying, which made many humans crazy. When trying to steal food she gets catchend by an alien called Xelias. As soon as he touches her, his skin starts to glow brightly. Ignoring her will he takes her with him and later offers her help if she sleeps with him because she seems to be his match.
First of I think I could have liked this story. I loved the whole story about earth dying and also the part of Xelias people trying to find a species that is compatible with them, since they have no females of their own anymore.
I also liked that Hazel cared so much for her brother and wanted to everything she could for him. In general I also liked Hazel a lot. She was funny and sassy and most of the time seemed intelligent.
HOWEVER there is also Xelias, the other mc, and I really don’t like him the least. He is arrogant and cold and just takes what he wants. He doesn’t really seem to care for Hazel, only if she shares the bed with him. The was some non-con in the story that really bugged me. There is this one scene where they are arguing and then he just takes her. Like wth. I was so mad at the guy but I also didn’t like how the author tried to make it better with Hazels thoughts.
You can get orgasms even if being raped that doesn’t mean you enjoyed it or that it was ok. Another reason that scene annoys me so much is that through his behavior he only wanted to shut her up. That clearly showed how much he respected her.
If only his character was different, I guess I would have loved this, however he is terrible and therefor only two stars.
I would like to give the second book a chance. Hopefully Blaze will be a better mc.

I didn't like this book mainly because it had the troupe of the female insisting on going on a mission when she is unqualified and a liability. Her being on the mission didn't add to the story. She slowed down the group. I'm going to read tempest next. And I hope the female lead is more tolerable.
