I liked this book but I found myself skipping through some pages. 

Aside from the handful of times I skipped pages, I loved Kira and Aehako. I love how they both choose each other despite the fact they weren't resonated and didn't think they'd be able to resonate to each other. It showed that they loved each other whether or not they're able to have kids. 

Now when it comes to Asha I really did not like her. I hate the fact she kept persisting Aehako even though he repeatedly told her he does not want her, and the fact she is going out of her way to sleep with Aehako while already being mated did not sit well with me. Both Aehako not wanting her and her having a mate and persisting anyways has me not liking her one bit at this point I'm the series. 

I loved that Kira finally got the translator removed from her ear and that in the end her and Aehako finally resonated to each other and that Asha got put in her place due to this resonation. I am hoping that Harlow is safe and that she gets found soon.

 

Even though this is my least favorite in the series so far, it was still a mostly enjoyable read.

While the setting and situations are similar, it is amazing how Ruby Dixon can make each book and its characters stand out. I personally enjoyed Aehako and Kira more than Raahosh and Liz. If you have triggers for infertility, though, this may not be the book for you. 

I love how Aehako is totally smitten with Kira without needing to resonate to her. I love his happy and dedicated personality. 

I liked Kira because I could relate to her more quiet and reserved personality. 

Plot-wise I enjoyed getting to see and learn more about the old space ship that the sakh aliens crashed on. I liked the action that picked up toward the end with

the Little Green Men returning

. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the world and the aliens in future books.

My favorite book so far in this series. The romance was genuinely adorable and the smut was actually top tier. Shower scene and all.

This book had the most plot of the first three entries in the series. That is probably a good thing, because Kira was my least favorite protagonist so far. Georgie was mediocre, and I really liked Liz, but Kira just really bugged me for most of the book. She grew on me towards the end, but I will be happy to move on to a different protagonist in the next one. The reason I rated it 3 stars instead of 2 was because I actually liked the plot of this book! I'm intrigued to unravel some of the mysteries that were set up. My biggest complaint is that I do not think the author handled the topic of infertility well. It almost definitely will trigger someone who has experienced infertility.

The word "broken" was used in reference to infertility without any pushback, and in my opinion that is unacceptable. In addition,

there was a magic fix to Kira's infertility, and she will apparently get pregnant right away after that, which is just a terrible way to end a book about infertility.

I liked this one!! I liked these characters and their relationship much more than Liz and Rahoshs and they are currently my favorite couple so far. I loved the positivity and the curiosity and the adventure and the bravery. I liked that this male was so much nicer as well.
