This has been in recommendations so many times and I finally relented.
As an alien romance? Eh. Not really alien. Stronger human dude with markings that look like tattoos but are actually scars.
As a story in general? Yeah, it's alright. It all felt a little .. cliche in a way, a little too obvious, but I overall enjoyed it and would be willing to read more of the series. The writing was good, the characters were okay, the plot was solid.
I'm interested in learning more about life outside of Clecania (being a sci fi nerd interested in aliens in an alien romance) but not sure how much the series will indulge that. Guess I'll find out!
I'm disappointed there isn't a book about Rhaego in the series yet (6 books as of writing this) because he'd be my next obvious choice (being described as looking like a demon but being a romantic sweetheart and all) but looks like it's mostly all the superhuman dudes. That said, I did see on the author's GR page that they DO plan on writing a book about Rhaego eventually so woohoo!
