I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I have a good amount of experience in this genre now… best Alien Romance book I’ve read.
And I’ll tell you exactly why. Two main reasons:
1. Because the sexy alien, Dez. Usually these books Center around a “Primitive” and “primal” race of huge alien men who’s female counter parts have been wiped out. This usually results in the fmc being treated like a breeding machine. In this book the first half is all true. Except the emphasis is more so on the bond between the main couple, the soul mate bond. Dez treats Frankie as an equal who is capable and strong and intelligent from the beginning and he emphasizes that he does not desire her for her womb.
2. The second reason is Frankie. She’s a great fmc in this. One of thing that usually goes wrong is the balance between the fmc coming to terms with the fact that she’s on a different planet and there is no escape vs. totally falling prey to alien d*ck within 20 pages.
I think this book is a good balance between all of that. I actually swooned for Dax and I can’t wait to read the next book!
