Reading this book is a way to get time to pass. I picked up this book expecting some smut, but there's barely any plot beyond "oh god this alien is strange and hot" -smut. The concept of fated mates is strong in this book. I guess there is some potential plot intrique of getting to know a foreign surrounding and culture in a kidnap escapee situation, but really, if smut is not your thing, you won't get anything out of this book.

Honestly there was FAR too much sexual violence for my taste- even within the first 40 pages

I mean.... I was entertained.  It's not for me. Maybe check it out if you're looking for a *fast-paced* romance between big strong possessive dumb (alien) man and strong-willed feeble (human) girl.   I was actually into the world-building the very very few times the flora, fauna, or lore was described. That was a surprising plus. 
  I would have been a little bit more generous on the star rating if not for the violence in the first chapter.   It was a lazy and  borderline offensive way to raise the stakes in an otherwise unserious story.

In the special addition, the author removes description of the rape in the first chapter but it is still made clear what it happening and it is still very disturbing.

I did not expect to love this as much as I did as sci-fi and aliens aren’t my reading usuals, but this was so much fun, sweet, hysterical at times, and just swoon worthy. Is it the absolute best story I’ve ever read? No. But it made me happy and smile.
