I really enjoyed the pace and length of this novel. Usually I'm not a fan of insecure MMC, but I think it really works here, and it also works as a good vehicle to the romance in the novel. FMC while romance generic has some dimensions and is fairly realistic with too much MarySue style perfection.
This book is all generic tropes of the alien romance genres, but the tropes serve to support and drives this story. I had a grand ole time with this one and finished it in one sitting in a night. This is not doing anything revolutionary or ground breaking, but I do think it's generally well constructed entry to this sub-genre. I do wish this alien spieces were a little more alien, but that's small potatoes complaint.
If you were a fan of Ice Planet Barbarians and The Bridgerton series you'll probably enjoy this book as well.
While no sexual violence occurs in this book there is a scene or two where the threat of sexual violence is a very real threat for our FMC. I really wish the genre would let go of this particular way of upping the stakes. It's just gross to me. And ultimately why it's closer to a 4. I thought it was an unnecessary addition to the story.

I did enjoy the speed of the burn though. Pacing was very good. And I loved the set up of the marriage system. Interesting
