I've read a couple of other Alyssa Cole books in the Runaway Royals and Reluctant Royals series and this was very different from those books. It wasn't bad and if you like sci-fi romances then this will be up your street, but it wasn't really for me.
I didn't mind the romance, but I didn't find it particularly compelling. The pacing also felt very slow even though the book itself was quite short, and only the action scenes really held my attention. I will say, though, that the audiobook narration is fantastic. It's a full-cast production and has sound effects that make the story really immersive.
Content warnings for panic attacks, chronic pain, past emotional and physical trauma, strokes, explosions, violence.
