There are two types of readers: 1.) Those who can suspend reality and enjoy this story for its completely unhinged characters and over-the-top plot and 2.) Those who should walk away after reading the content warnings. As much as I wanted to be the first type of reader, I learned I’m sadly the second. I should have taken heed of the warnings and walked away.
I think this story would have worked better for me as a monster romance or alien romance. I found the main character’s naivety impossible to believe. I did not find it cutesy that he was convinced the person obviously trying to murder him was trying to date him.
There was zero emotional connection between the characters and zero emotional connection for me as the reader. My heart wasn’t in it.
The erotica was good and smutty though.
I do have several friends who loved this one though, so perhaps my problems with it are mine alone.
