I’d like to apologize to everyone on my Goodreads in advance as unfortunately I did read this book and even more unfortunately I will be reading more of them.
Listen. Once you get past the big blue alien thing it’s like…not that bad. I don’t know, maybe I’ve been reading too many cookie cutter romcoms lately and this one was just soooo different and I am such a sci-fi and smut girly that it really just kinda had it all for me. It’s got the ridiculous tropes, the space travel, the harsh alien planet, the smut scenes. Honestly the world building? Really good like quite an interesting world we got here. It does really buy into the “big man is the manly man and he protect small fragile weak woman” BUT it also was very heavy on the “big manly man is absolutely obsessed with small woman and she holds literally all the emotional and mental power in the relationship and big manly man is whipped af” so I am ok with it, balance.
Only thing for me was the first part of the book really needs to come with a HUGE TW. That shocked me honestly, here I thought I was reading a silly alien smut book but the book starts out just really quite shocking and graphic with a depiction of SA. I am not doing spoilers because I want people who are thinking of reading this to know that there is a SA scene early in the book and it was extremely difficult to read. Like this book truly starts out kinda super awful and scary so please use caution.

I downloaded this mostly as a joke because it's been blowing up on tiktok and I thought it looked ridiculous but.... I read the whole thing and I'm going to keep going with the series lol. I can't give this more than 3 stars because it's just shallow, silly smut, but it was definitely enjoyable if you take it for what it is

A great balance of erotic romance and plot! It's got structure, sex, suspense, and I liked both the FMC and MMC. Definitely a classic for its genre. It would have been a clean 5 stars if only the first act were shorter, as it was longer than I feel it needed to be compared to the rest of the events in the story.

I picked up this book because I kept seeing it on TikTok. Now, for an alien/paranormal/ sci-fi romance I kind of liked this. It was so weird, but I loved that. I laughed through a lot of the scenes but overall it was very enjoyable. The romance, the sex, and even the plot were all enticing. I haven’t decided if I’ll continue with the series yet. Maybe if I need a quick fun read.

This was a re-read. I remember I didn't like the beginning the first time I read it and felt like it took too long to get to the spicy scenes. Well, this time I felt like it went too fast lol. Especially the whole pregnancy thing. I didn't even remember that from my first read and thought it came much later. I also was kind of bummed that we didn't get much from the other women, but since they each get their own book, I know we'll get their story then.

I finally gave in and bought this and read it. It wasn't bad, maybe a little too much breeding kink for me but not bad. I wasn't sure I'd get book 2 but then I bought it last time I was at the bookstore

I really loved the start of this story. It is my first alien romance and it was exciting. For some reason I got a little bored towards the end though. Will definitely try another one, but I love her dragon series more.
