Hmm...ok. I enjoyed this book BUT I skimmed a lot... The MCs are adorable and loveable I wanted nothing but HEAs, babies, and bonus epilogues for them. However, the story is mostly just them running from safe house to safe house whilst giving each other steamy eyes. Meh, could be worse.
I got "If John Wick was an Omegaverse vibes" do with that what you will.
Another element I struggled with was how quickly the FMC was like "Oh, I will give up everything because you saved me from my own misguided actions." She goes from a "I will risk anything to get back to Earth" to "He's taken ladies" in the span of a chapter.
World building is quite impressive for an alien romance and I never thought seriously about DNF'ing so I'm going to rate this book as an overall success, and I'm ready to start book 2 :)
