Where’s Pam from Office holding up the HOT sign when you need her?

Good god all mighty. I don’t give an absolute titty what it says about me but this alien/human horizontal tango was hot as hell.

On top of that I enjoyed the characters, the world/universe this author built.

Strange Love by Ann Aguirre

How do I even begin?

Let start off by saying that if you like an Alien that actually looks Alien this book is for you. If you like your Alien to actually have Alien equipment then this book is for you.

Our MMC Zylar, is such a cinnamon roll of epic proportions. He’s spent his life looking for what his race calls a nest guardian. He’s never really been wanted, never picked and look downed upon. He happens upon our FMC Beryl, by accident and there’s no real way for her to go back home. It becomes a marriage of convenience of a sort but the only way they can succeed is to go through trials. The trials not only prove that Beryl can be a worthy nest guardian but the couple together can succeed.

Both characters are incredibly lovable, and it was so endearing to watch them grow into a couple that loves one another. They are physically, and socially so different from the other so I enjoyed watching them learn what’s “normal” for each other. I just loved it so so so much and I don’t think there’s another beta quite like a Zylar. If he had cheeks I’d squeeze em.

PS: There’s a talking dog named Snaps and he is the BEST boy.

FERAL. That’s the best word to describe how I felt while reading this book. I read this in one sitting and that’s not something I can do often for a multitude of reasons. I loved it so much and I’m going to list some tropes to convince you to read it.

Tropes:
Age Gap
Fated Mates
Size Difference
Knotting
Heroine on the run
Alpha Hero
Reluctant Hero
Virgin Heroine
Touch her and die
Scared Hero
There’s a delicious Primal scene.
