I’ll start by saying I did not read the first book but I was able to jump right in. Thren and Bree were a beautiful match of complicated pasts or “daddy issues” as they joke about and work through together. This genre is usually my palate cleansers because I know what to expect and I leave feeling those happy warm fuzzies, but I was honestly surprised at all the content I got in this. There was so much depth to the characters even the ones that you meet on the side. The Ghundis were enjoyable and a lovely highlight as well. The whole “dates” misinterpretation was enjoyable. I will definitely be picking up more from this author

Stars: 5
FMC: Bree
MMC(s): Thren
Tropes: Alien planet, abduction/kidnapping, fated mates, family dynamics, mood changing skin, biting/marking. My add: sex worker FMC, OTT P MMC, gambling.
Perspective: Dual
Plot or character driven: Both
Spice level: 4
Burn speed: Fast
Can this be read as a stand-alone: Yes, but it's going to make a lot more sense if you've read the whole series.
Re-Readability: Yes.
Content/Trigger Warnings/Enticements: Abandonment and family issues. Minor character pregnancy mentioned in last chapter, discussion about pregnancy in epilogue.
Where Scorched by Starlight was a bit tamer when it came to the spice, Bree and Thren came in with a vengeance and a delight.
At points during this I was yelling at Thren, (he can be a numbskull but he's not cruel) and I was feeling for Bree and her past. Everything to do with her dad breaks my heart, and Thren has to work to prove that he's not going to abandon her like her dad did.
It's sweet, and hot, I devoured this like a seven course meal, slowly and relishing every bit of it.
Also, can we talk about the Ghudi? I loved everything about them, and though I don't think we will since we're going to be spending more time with the other brothers, I do hope we see them again. And I do love how we see Bree with them initially, and at the end, we see how much she's changed by how she interacts with them.

I really enjoyed this! Thren’s character was so sweet! He was low on self esteem and had a hard time believing in himself. I just wanted to give him a hug. Bree’s story was sad too. I loved them together.

Bree and Thren
I couldn't get enough of these two. Both of them are looking for love and acceptance. He doesn't think he deserves it. She believes everyone leaves eventually. Their honesty with each other was beautiful. Super spicy too!

Bit of a darker feel than book 1. They are best read in order. Loved the development of the mmc and how he overcomes his perceived weaknesses and faults. Also the strong survival instinct of the fmc and her big heart. A slow burn to get to the spice but with plenty of angst to keep you going
