Averie is not your cookie-cutter like heroine. She jiggles! She has a mind! She is not as dumb as a box of rocks! She does attempt to escape her captor!
Averie puts up a good fight against her feelings for Zaroc, just as Zaroc feels conflicted by Averie.
He is on the run and doesn't have time to woo females or let down his defences. I was sad learning of Zaroc’s past but his granny, that woman rocks the afterlife! Every boy needs his granny, even tall, reptilian, hunky ones.
Loved the Elder Moon storyline that is going through all the books, I'm enjoying meeting all these assorted aliens and the women who bring them to their knees with their awesomeness.

Exact rating is 2.5 stars.
It was between an okay read and I like it because of few redeeming qualities. I like the worldbuilding, and the places they ended up on (the plant planet, the space station, the Yoda alien planet etc). I like the romance was not rushed (as in they didn't bang immediately after one night together). I like the difference in alien anatomy they shown here (most alien romance author liked to play it safe with humanoid characters), so it's fresh to see not everyone is looking the same way.
I do however think that this book is boring as hell. Interesting stuffs happened but the characters were so dull for me. Especially the heroine. I didn't see how and why the hero felt anything for her other than the GOLDEN MYSTICAL HAPPENSTANCE of love-at-first-sight. So, yeah.
