This book blew my mind. Ive never read a book like it. The Narrators did a fantastic job. I didnt feel like all the spice was necessary the story was good on its own. But none the less I enjoyed the whole story. Had I not had responsibilities I would have finished this in a sitting.

I enjoy this story! It was my first Lexi Blake book. 

I really liked the fiesty nature of the FMC, I enjoyed both of the MMCs. The dynamics between all three of them. It was a bit insta lovey for me at first but they all worked and earned their relationship by the end. The side characters were all great additions to the story line. I look forward to going back and reading all their storys in the future. 

Give this a listen if you love

Ellie took us for a dark and twisty ride for this little read... Its short, its full of triggers, and its spicy. 

I cant say much beyond that because it will give it all away. 

Thank You Ellie for sending me an early copy for review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

 I adored this sweet, cozy, spicy read. I listened to the audio with my audiobook club. The narrators were great. They really captured the anxieties, emotions, and insecurities of both the MCs. I really loved Beks and Fina's dynamics.

If you love Alien/Monster romance that is sweet but spicey, plus sized fmc, soul mates, and characters with flaws give this one a try!

Rae has a special knack for creating characters that you can relate to on many levels. This story was no different.
 I fell in love with all the  MCs and I may even yelled a few choice words at throughout the book.
