This is my first book in this series that I have read. I read reviews of the other books and I don't think those would be my cup of tea. I liked this one fairly well. I like when characters have language barriers and must survive together.

Baldric was a sweet, protective male who immediately thought to do the right thing and protect the women as well as plan to tell officials about their abduction to seek justice and prevent it from happening again. I liked that about him a lot.

The biggest thing about this book that I did not like was the spanking. It is just a turn off for me, so I had to skim over those parts.

I also wish

that we had some resolution with Olivia and her friends. We hear what happened to each of them on their journey but not if they ever get to see Olivia again. I thought that was a bummer.

This might be one my favorite Honey Phillips books. I like how her alien/monsters heros are big, protective and wholesome. With so many alien books having heavy scenes with kidnapping (and sl4very) is good to find one that doesn't linger in that part and is just sweet with a bit of action.
I think Honey Phillips became one of my 'break in case of emergency' authors <3

A slow start for me. It got better towards the 35-40% mark. I loved how cute their communication was. It was adorable to see them learning each other’s words. Olivia drove me slightly crazy with all of her poor decision making. But I still really enjoyed their romance.
