This felt like a novel based on a movie based on a superhero comic book. It was alright, but it didn’t fully hold my interest. I really didn’t understand the main characters issue with the renegades. It seemed to boil down to her expectation that they would always be there to save everyone in need, but that doesn’t seem very realistic to me. I doubt I’ll read book two.

Might have been 5 stars if he didn’t call her “baby.” 🙃 For the romance genre, this was a great book.

Monster romances are awkward. This was kind of fun but it did not live up to the hype.

This was unexpectedly great! A must read for romantasy lovers. There’s a ridiculous alternate cover out there that almost made me skip this one, but I’m so glad I didn’t! As other reviewers mentioned, it was a little long, but overall, I thought this was really fun and well written. I definitely plan to check out the rest of this series. The love interest in this book reminded me a lot of Thor and this author is best known for a series that looks like a romance fanfic about frost giants. 😅 Wondering if this author is just a megafan of the nine realms? I might check out that series too but I’m not so sure how I feel about a blue alien romance. 🙃

This wasn’t too different from other romances out there, but something about the way the main characters talked to and thought about each other felt predatory and uncomfortable to me. I think I was mainly turned off by their initial meeting and the fact that he was her boss. The horse trainer plot line didn’t interest me much either. I’ve seen a lot of hype surrounding this author, but if her other books are similar to this one, I doubt I’ll be a fan.

I hope to see a day when this work of fiction does not mirror reality.

Men really should read romance novels tbh. This was pretty cheesy, but cute.

This was truly terrible. I should have DNF’d this one. Mermen are not sexy and this book was littered with cringe worthy lines. The fact that this book has received a 3.47 average star rating is shocking. People can not be trusted. 😂

Their relationship felt unnecessarily intense and unhealthy. They are both clearly in need of therapy and are instead headed towards codependency as a crutch for their trauma. This reminded me a lot of Beautiful Disaster.
