I'm giving this strong points for creativity with the characters and world in the romance/erotica genres, even though the story itself is predictable (the mark of most romance anyway). Very much porn with plot, so if that's not your bag, don't bother.
Whenever a book features interspecies relationships, it can easily seem like a metaphor for interracial relationships in real life, and this is no exception. It has some mention of issues between humans and other species, but the issue is not deeply explored, as you might imagine given the genre. Additionally, because the story mostly glosses over the depth of majority-minority struggles, the presence of interspecies sex and relationships feels a little like fetishizing.
There were a few editing mistakes in the audiobook and a few moments where the story jumped forward in confusing ways.
