3 ⭐️ a cute, short, alien romance with western vibes


"He did not deserve her, but he would make her happy. He would not fail her as he had failed so many others."


WHAT TO EXPECT:
✨ small town/western alien romance
✨ strong, kind, older (30s) human heroine
✨ possessive, ex-military commander hero
✨ married couple
✨ no third act breakup
✨ found family
✨ open door romance (light smut)
✨ one thurst climax
✨ somnophelia
✨ pregnancy trope
✨ tw: war ptsd


My Thoughts:

This was a quick read - very simple and low stakes. I had a fun time, but it wasn’t anything special.

I enjoyed the found family trope with Artek and the rest of his 'brothers'. I'm mostly curious to learn about Frantor's story since I love a sweet, damaged hero.

It's an open door romance, but the scenes are very short and not too descriptive. The one thing that's just ridiculous is that the heroine cums after one thrust. But hey it's an alien romance so I guess his dick is just that good.

I'm not sure I care enough to read the next in the series, but it was a nice story after being so disappointed with my last few reads.
