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!

oH MY GOD ok so i’ve never been the type to read books with aliens other than ice planet barbarians a few months ago because i was curious as to why booktok was obsessing over it so much (i was obviously disappointed i mean what was that?) HOWEVER choosing theo was the sweetest cutest little thing ever!!!!!!!!!! i loved everything about it, from the characters to the development of their relationship to the bonding moments and the fact that even though the author could have easily fallen into the miscommunication trope at a certain point she didn’t and i’ll forever be grateful for it, i did feel like the last few pages were a bit rushed and everything started happening so fast but that did not make the story any less enjoyable, honestly every time theo did anything i was just sitting at my room looking at jade and thinking damn i wish that was me🧎♀️not sure if i’ll be reading the next few books in the series but i loved this one and i’m sure the others are probably just as enjoyable!!!!!!
