I loved Kanuz in his book, and now I love Alvez even more! Reading his POV won my heart. He's such a sweet, thoughtful, sexy alien. A cinnamon roll with golden retriever energy is the perfect combination for me. I want him to be my alien husband. 

When I read he kidnapped Michelle at the end of the last book, I was worried, but reading about the way he did it in this one helped me feel better. Can you kidnap someone thoughtfully...? Apparently 😅 

Michelle is a fully-realized character with anxiety and panic attacks that haven't been treated since she couldn't take her meds on Sueva. I appreciated her character arc and how she was able to get help and get better. The scenes where Alvez recognizes her fear and anxiety and then comforts her and talks with her had me emotional.

I really felt the love that grew between these two, and the spicy scenes in this one were SO GOOD. 

I love January Bell's writing. She's able to make new adventures each book that are exciting and funny. I liked the mystery in this one, too.
