It was okay.
The romance as a whole felt like it was lacking something but I'm not sure what.
Madelyn frustrated me to no end, not only did I keep thinking that she needed a friend the entire time but when I thought another character was going to be her friend they either wanted to trade her or kidnap her to hold over Slade, by the time I was halfway through the book it felt like every other chapter was repetitive and had the same trope.
I also felt as if, since this is my first Olivia Riley book, that there were references to other planets and species that I was not able to comprehend completely because they were in previous alien species/planets books the author has either written or is going to write about.
