Liz x Raahosh. 4.5 ⭐ 4 🌶 He kidnaps her after she is forced to get a khui, and he keeps her in his cave until they finally start hunting together. They are both stubborn. Liked this couple better than the first books

Although I loved the premise, I really disliked Liz, the FMC. Yes, she can be relatable, and yes, you probably know a Liz in real life, but that does not mean I want to read about her. She: severly lacked empathy; ensured that if she was suffering, EVERYONE around her suffered as well; purposefully tried to destabilise the colony of the people helping her; and had extra loud sex when in public areas in the hopes others would leave them (including having to leave their own beds in the middle of the night).

Liz was so ridiculously unlikeable that she made Raahosh, who kidnapped her and is forceful with his sexual advances, look like a sweet angel. In his defence, I definitely did start to warm up to him by the 30% mark. But all-in-all, these two are the couple that make you think, "There really is someone for everyone."

What It’s About: Picking up right where the previous volume left off, this story showcases Liz, who’s kidnapped by Raahosh after he resonates to her, leading to dire consequences when they return to the alien tribe.

Spice Level: It’s even better this time around, not only because Raahosh is, ahem, the biggest alien boy on the planet, if you get my drift, but because there’s a lot more anticipation this time around.

Realism: I think this was the best place to go after the first book, because it showcases what we as readers were all wondering. What do you do when your choice in relationships is taken away from you? Watching Liz go through the process from being unwilling to skeptical to accepting was a really nice way to deal with that idea.

Trope Alert: This one is all enemies to lovers.

Trigger Warnings: There’s still a fair amount of dubious consent going on in this one.

Was a quick fun read ! 

“She is stubborn. My khui chose well in that aspect cause I guess i’m stubborn too.” 


“Im starting to get an idea how lonely his life had been… and what I mean to him”
