Alien 'n' Outlaw by K.C. Burn
3.0
With Alien 'n' Outlaw I had the exact opposite problem than with [b:Spice ‘n’ Solace|10324166|Spice ‘n’ Solace (Galactic Alliance #1)|K.C. Burn|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1296088705s/10324166.jpg|15226596] - I liked the beginning, but had isses with the ending.
Content warnings include: violence, homophobia, misogyny, trans excluding language, sex on-page; mentions of abusive parent, child running away from home to live on their own.
This started out great as a human meets alien adventure romance.
The aliens were more humanoid that I would have liked but just alien enough to satisfy what I want from sci-fi books.
It helped that the alien culture was very different - except I could barely enjoy it, because Darien, the human character, was so uncomfortable. Which was my issue with the ending. I liked what was happening, but Darien didn't, which didn't make it enjoyable to read. I wish he had been more open to the new culture, even if I can understand his discomfort (like, I would be soooo uncomfortable in that particular culture too.)
It also felt like some threads of the plot were left unexplored and kind of fizzled out, with a vague "oh year we'll fix it" in a side sentence, which also wasn't very satisfying to read.
