Should I read in order?
This is a stand alone alien novella (and Russo’s debut? I think?)
Basic plot:
After a break up, Taryn meets some interesting strangers at Chimera Con.
Give this a try if you want:
- science fiction romance
- Earth setting
- MMFF dynamics
- cryptozoologist heroine
- telepathy
- higher steam – 4 scenes in a shorter page count with some kink elements
Ages:
- Taryin is 31 in the epilogue (so 29/30 for the story), not sure about others
My thoughts:
Woohoo, my first MMFF romance and I really enjoyed it! This is a shorter novel that packs a nice steam punch and some tantalizing alien aspects.
Being a shorter novel, this doesn’t have a ton of character depth to it, and most of the book takes place on Earth. I would have loved a bit more details on the alien planet and I wanted a more concrete epilogue I think but overall this one was super fun.
I loved the first bedroom scene together but the way it cut into the scene prior it felt like a page break was missing or something. I had to reread those couple pages a few times to find my bearings. Other than that the characters were fun, I enjoyed the plot, and am definitely going to be trying more from Russo.
Cock/Hero Stats:
- both Wes and Aiden are shape shifters
-Aiden is maybe mid 30s looking in human form, chiseled face, sandy blond hair, hazel eyes. When Aiden shows Taryn another alien form, he looks like the ‘classic’ aliens from Earth pop culture – the enormous eyes, unblinking...
- Sara is a different alien species and in human form has cotton candy pink hair and lavender irises. In her alien form she’s alabaster and at least 7 feet tall. She has angular features that give her a stone like appearance and a long graceful neck and is bald. (She uses a special form of alien technology to take human form)
- Wes has bright blond hair and blue eyes in human form
Content warnings:
- Heroine’s boyfriend of 5 years breaks up with her over text
