I liked this way more than I expected to. The first chapter or two were very dark and potentially triggering (see below), but after Georgie finds Vektal, things were overall delightful. Not as light and fluffy as I thought it would be, but very enjoyable.
Part of me wishes the sex had been a little more creative. You're inventing a whole alien race and planet! You could totally reinvent sex!! But I still enjoyed it just fine.Plus a little nub that exactly hits your clit during penetration?? YES PLEASE.
Not sure why I was expecting an alpha alien, but Vektal was all cinnamon roll. I loved how he just did everything in his power to take care of Georgie, was firm in his love of her but never forced her hand(except perhaps in a dubious-consent scene when he wakes her up with cunnilingus, before understanding that she did not have the same understanding of resonance/mating as him; we are in her head when it happens and she is happy going along with it) .

It is strongly hinted at but not entirely confirmed (?) that the main character is pregnant by the end of the book. Lots of talk of wanting to get her pregnant by Vektal. There is a mention of one of the kidnapped women having been pregnant when she was taken, but that the kidnapper aliens forced an abortion.
