Alien Mask by Ursa Dax
3.0
Super cute.
This was totally more of a slow burn than I thought. Usually alien romances have a insta love trope to them because of mating practices but this one kinda turned it around.
They really don’t even intimately interact until after 50% so by then I was completely committed to the slowness. But then she says she loved him like at 60%?!
If you do a slow burn… do it slow.
It was still cute and I enjoyed the writing but it all felt like the setting was in between the exposition and end like nothing ever felt resolved? Maybe that was just me but it was still enjoyable.
Priya was so capable and funny and Leorkan was so arrogant that is was comical, so they fit well together.
I haven’t read any other in the series and I think that would’ve helped bc the world building made no sense of payoff to me but the romance was good enough to carry it.
