It all made sense by the end, and was critical to the MMC's growth, but the kidnapping followed by the FMC just giving up on getting back to save the injured pair of blue males, choosing instead they must have died in a matter of hours (when they had at least a day's journey to get back to the healer to begin with) was aggravating. I didn't feel the MMC ever earned her trust and it grated on my view of their relationship.
But, as usual, Dixon does a great job of tying everything neatly together by the end, and the story was cozy and sweet overall. I think this will be a story that will resonate with certain people, but I am not one of the chosen.

It's a better take on the "barbarian kidnaps human post resonance" than whatever the hell Barbarian Alien was. Still on the same level though because although the relationship does feel better than Barbarian Alien, it still fell very flat IMO.
Also, the timeline in general just feels so meh. During this book, Harlow meets Rukh, they Mate, they fall pregnant, they give birth, get the khui, and have their happily ever after. I don't know how I feel about this. It's too condensed to be less than 200 words.

Premature birth, some pregnancy complications. The MC had cancer before receiving the khui, and is often afraid of it coming back, etc.robinwritesallthethings's review against another edition
