Super good slow burn alien romance. I couldn’t put it down. Single POV (F).
The trope is a darker sci-fi version of Taming Demons for Beginners by Annette Marie. (I liked the pacing of this one a little more, though it has a distinct lack of baked goods!) In both cases, I really liked how the main M lead slowly opens up as he starts trusting main F.
Two quibbles:
1. The MF lead has some reservations about some ethical issues....then seems to drop all concerns because....no good reason?
2. The ending is abrupt. I would normally expect an epilogue. But everything resolved so it’s fine, I guess?
