Alien Virgin 
Kinda Kidnapping 
Enemies to Lovers 
 
HE’S TOUCHING HER WHILE SHE’S UNCONSCIOUS. I don’t care that Rahosh is being gentle. Why can’t Liz be awake and know what’s going on?! The author of these books is so casual with the SA. 
 
Also I'm not personally a big fan of mixed messages without prior negotiation. This book has so much…”don’t touch me right here…(where I’m showing you)…Oh I really hate it when you do (insert specific thing)… 

This book wasn't better or worse than the first. These books are what they are. Not great, not terrible, just meh...But I will likely give a couple more a try. I don't see myself reading all of them. 
 
These books liberally use c*nt. Do I mind? Not at all. But if you aren't a fan of the word...maybe give them a miss. 
 
CW: SA… 
 
Narration notes: The lady narrator sounds like she’s in a bubble. It's truly terrible.

I liked this one even better than the first one! It did feel like the love story was a bit rushed and these books continue to feel too short. I’m hopeful that the novella helps with that as it did with the first one. 🙌 I keep being surprised by how much I like these books. It’s not my favorite of all time but it still has captured my attention enough I have to find out what happens next! 😂

It became boring and repetitive. I couldn’t see anything exciting happening.

I really enjoy how feisty Liz is and how much of a grumpy-cat Raahosh is. Their constant bickering back and forth with one another makes me so amused. I can't wait for the next book. (03/2024) 

4 out of 5 stars

Liz is sassy AF and I love her for her stubborn and mischievous ways. Whilst I don't vibe with some of the early content, with consent being dubious at best, the romance is definitely one for fans of the fated mates, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and hurt/comfort tropes. Overall an enjoyable, quick read that does a good job of setting the foundation for the series whilst also having plenty of spice.
