If you liked Ice Planet Barbarians, then I think you'll like this book!
Katy's fiancé never showed for their wedding and it was near impossible for her to go back to work as a wedding photographer after. She's down and out, financially and emotionally. Until her sister, Sara, starts the process to apply for an Earth-sponsored year cultural exchange on planet Xavia. Katy couldn't let her go alone so across the galaxies they go. Upon arrival, the women are informed that they're being dropped on this planet to help repopulate the dying Xavian people. After being duped by the government, Katy doesn't easily trust the men on Xavia even though she's wildly attracted to her host, Prince Drex. But what will happen when she's in close proximity to Prince Drex all day, every day?
I really enjoyed this book! It's a quick & fun read with some interesting alien anatomy 👀 It's told in dual POV between Katy & Drex, which makes it interesting to see his side of their interactions. However, after some scenes in one character's POV, it would switch to the other character's POV & completely re-tell the scene with their own thoughts / feelings. This made some of the book very repetitive. Also, the ending seemed rushed compared to the rest of the book. Overall, I really enjoyed the storyline and I'm interested to see where the series goes from here!
Thank you to NetGalley and Reverie Harwood for allowing me to read an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
