Definitely one of my top favorites in Ella Maven’s Drixonian series!
I really loved how the relationships between the characters other than the main pairing unfolded. The slice of life scenes were so adorable, and I’m a sucker for the whole language/communication barrier trope being played out well in Miranda and Drak’s story specifically.
Miranda and Drak are independent in their own ways— Drak because he was wrongfully cast out and Miranda because she suffers from eldest daughter syndrome and feels the need to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. I get it.
I liked the whole “alone in the forest with a hunky capable virgin alien while I heal” premise to their relationship developing.
The technical mistakes were minimal in this book, maybe a few clunky lines here and there, but overall, it was delightful!
I was really hoping for a full on Miranda being Drak’s attorney scene testifying in a small Drixonian court, but what we got was still nice— truth and justice!
A happily ever after for lovable characters.

Lots of spicy sex scenes! I think so far from what I’ve read in the entire series (I’m reading out of order), Drak and Miranda have the most sex! There are at least three graphically described scenes, all paced very nicely.
Poor Miranda breaks an ankle and her face gets beat up, and Drak gets beaten to the point of amnesia then slashed in the throat, rendered mute for years!
