Alien Wanted by Julie K. Cohen
3.0
This was better than my rating suggests.
Just not for me however. But that’s more a choice of preference.
Writing was really well done, story interesting, moved well, involving.
My issues were the characters aren’t my taste, neither is the story setting.
I can do farms where there’s hard work, cowboy style, gruff quiet interaction, a bit more of a cast.
This was mr nice guy, thoughtful, sensitive, even when he was being a grumpy ass at the beginning.
He was supposedly a warrior in the past, but it didn’t read like that.
Just a lot of crop rotating.
The woman was … too passive for my tastes, but totally fitting her backstory.
Plus, the misunderstandings, while fitting initially, didn’t make sense to continue throughout, a little much.
Story continuity issue, he makes an assumption about her past choices, and thinks a little less of her for them. When later she brings the topic up randomly, and in doing so, provides the correct details, he says nothing. No surprise, outrage, comment nothing? That was weird…
Except for the character choice and excessive misunderstandings, I did enjoy the writing style.
Will read the next one, as it is based on a ship with different personalities
