You’ll like this book if you like Ruby Dixon’s books.

It’s not a perfect match for me because I’m not really into fated mates or possessive, controlling men.

I chose this book because I kept seeing it recommended on reddit threads. One thing that’s kind of unique about this book is that Theo is

considered very ugly by the standards of his own society. Not by human standards, however.

I think the writing is good and the setting is interesting. I am going to read more of these books to see how the larger story plays out.  I hope Rhaego gets a book.

This was a decent read. It was interesting to read about the different world and culture on another planet, and we get a decent amount of that and plot. For me, a better book would have been longer with a lot more info about the new planet she finds herself on, but it was short and sweet, and I didn’t feel as if the author skimped on the details.

*insert Janessa saying, "I told you you'd like this book." * 🤣

A few years ago when Janessa first rec'd me another alien series she rec'd me this one as well...but me being me I bounced around to a bunch of other books/series/authors before finally deciding to read this one. And like always, I had so much fun reading this book! This was pretty much a one sitting read, since I started last night before bed and read until my eyes refused to stay open, then woke to finish the rest.

I do feel like a lot of the back and forth, in the beginning, could have been cut out and maybe we could have had more planet history/lore added in? Idk, the beginning was a bit boring after she lands 😅

I'm excited to read the rest of the series to see what other couple's we get as well as seeing where the overarching story goes. 💜

i have had this on my alien romance tbr for AGES, but i finally picked it up and i had a great time! the premise of the men going to "husband" school is really interesting and i ate it up. i loved the forced proximity aspect of this, and can't wait to continue the series.

Whelp; I certainly didn't plan on reading the whole thing in one sitting, but that's exactly what happened. Loved it. I loved the characters, I loved the story, I loved the world the author built. Quality plot with superb romance & just enough spice. Where can I get my ticket? Lol.
