I like insta love but this wasn’t good. First contact officer and not a backbone in sight. And that alien ain’t really an alien 🙄

This book had a lot of potential to start, but sadly went downhill rather fast. While I loved the world building and learning the culture of the aliens, Alex listening and asking questions to find out whats going on.
Sadly the nassa didn't seem to treat him with the same respect, they hardly gave him the chance to explain anything and tbh there wasn't even a language barrier. They just refused to believe humans were any different to them, Sarr only figured stuff out when noticing Alex in pain and actually asked in those cases.
Only time anyone ever seemed to listen was if he was hurt so just got frustrating, although the ring scene was very sweet and trying to keep him from overheating. I just wasn't keen on how events played out, even to the final moments they stayed in denial.
Although allowing more hunans onto their world and supposedly Alex shall have new job role that he shall enjoy. Although considering how they reacted about omegas working, it seems strange they were fine with that aspect at end but oh well.
I think I got my expectations too high, so thats on me. There was a lot of amazing aspects to the story uch as the setting, concept and cultures however it just fell flat for me. Alex seemed like a fun character too and Sarr could possibly have grown on me, if he wasn't so sure he was always right.
Overall it was a fast paced, enjoyable read with a happy ending but it could have been so much more

Mais uma leitura rapidinha, clichê de alien e miss communication. Bem mediano mas serviu meu propósito ao ler esse livro, treinar mais a leitura em inglês.

Sweet
Let me just start by saying that the Nassa are such wholesome people. I loved this introduction into this world! Saar is endearing and so kind to Alex, and I loved seeing them start to bond with each other. This was a very heartwarming, fast read that will just give you the warm and fuzziness. I will say that this definitely had insta-love vibes, and while it was very sweet, there wasn't a lot of relationship development, which was disappointing... and the ending left a little bit to be desired as well. That being said, the entrance into this world has intrigued me greatly, and I definitely want to see what happens next!

MM Love Interests
Dual POV

Coerced Marriage
Forced Proximity

I thought this was a fun sci-fi omega verse set story.
Alex is there to help negotiate a treaty with the people on the planet, only instead he finds himself kidnapped and forced to marry the winner of those who will fight over him! OK, I kinda loved it.
I honestly loved Saar and Alex together - great chemistry and some very sweet, quiet moments together as well. I do wish Alex had just spoken up about stuff, been honest, and I think a lot of the big conflict could have been avoided.
Very fun sci-fi story and I definitely want more! Very light mpreg elements - just a mentioning really, nothing extreme. If you're looking for a quick read with forced marriage, aliens, sexy times, then give this a try. I know I'll have my eyes peeled for the next book!
