I received an ARC of Ella and the Alien Prince in exchange for a honest review, so I am going to be honest.
I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t care about the characters, there were words missing here and there and the second half of the book is basically just a sex scene. I know this a short story and there would not be too detailed descriptions, but the characters were not developed much and the world building was vague.
The “mating bond” that makes them to be drawn to each other doesn’t make sense to me. Even with the mating bond you’d expect them to get to know each other. But Ella basically sells herself to this man she just met. And of course her best friend falls for his closest friend and comes to the alien planet with her. Also, some dialogues and narrations in the book were very ‘cringy’ for me. Needless to say this was just not my cup of tea!
