I gave a star as I thought the alien character was amusing at first. It got old fast, but at least it was unique. I gave another star as it was written well enough.
This book pretty much put me in a reading slump. It's short so I didn't want to stop and DNF. I had a hard time getting through it, but managed to bite the bullet one night and just get it finished. If it wasn't for audiobooks I wouldn't have read anything for nearly a month.

Minor: Rape and Sexual harassment

Rape mention spoiler:

She had to pause sex when the MMC held her wrists as it brought back memories. The memory wasn't described other than saying something along the lines of 'They captured me and used me for entertainment' I don't remember the exact wording. She then takes control mentally and continues sex

Sexual Harassment spoiler:

When they find civilisation a fast food worker wanted her to 'warm his bed' and was staring at her chest and ignoring the MMC. He refused service all together when she refused. When they got more into the town, people were calling her a slut and refusing service because she was walking around with the alien and assumed she was the aliens human slut.

This was good. In a sweet, simple way. It was very funny - I had multiple laugh out loud moments. But it didn't grab me in. I started reading this four months ago and it took me that long to finish. 

Contains: 
Only one sex scene :( 
Single POV from the male alien perspective - very fun and interesting!! But I wanted aurora's pov so so badly. 
A fairly nothingness storyline. 
A sweet alien who loves soap and staring at his girls arse. 
A kinda interesting penis that would have been made more interesting from the human POV

Minor: Rape and Sexual assault

The tws for sexual assault and rape are very loosely alluded to buy the FMC. There is absolutely no description of acts but she states she was hurt and I believe it was SA.

This was another funny alien romance by Amanda Milo. I loved reading about Simmi and seeing him put it in the wilderness. I found him very amusing when I read Contaminated. 

I didn't give this one a full five stars because I couldn't help comparing it to the first book. I was hoping to get some more emotional opening up from Simmi about him being a Carrier and the things he went through in his society. I feel like he and Aurora could have talked about a lot more things while wandering the woods. 

I also felt the explanation for how and why he and Aurora were captured didn't explain much at all. I wish there had been more to it than what was given. 

Overall, if you like monster or alien romances, this is a good, sweet one with a little bit of spice.
