Loved this one. Alkorin is my kind of male lead and each book just makes me so excited for each side character's chance in the spotlight. There's definitely darker themes in this series, so check content warnings before reading.

I liked this book better than the first book in the series. But a lot of the stuff I didn’t really like from the first book kinda followed me into this book. I love Arc as a character. Samantha was ok I kinda liked the female main character from the first book better. I didn’t like how Samantha reacted and thought through some situations. I feel like the relationship can be developed a bit better in these books. The world building is very cool and I almost wish we got a bit more of that. All together had a fun time reading this book.

Enjoyable and well-written sci-fi romance. Arcanthus is my new book bf, and if you wanna know why check out the NSFW art on the authors' website. Also, he's charmingly arrogant.
Sweet romance, excellent spice scenes, loveable characters. Looking forward to continuing this series.

TW: blood, body horror, SA (in past, discussed)

This was really cute. We have mates, aliens, and fluff with plot! 

You can read book 2 separately so I’d like to start with that, I didn’t read book 1. The cover is amazing. 

Samantha goes to this planet to escape her sad life behind. She struggles to fit in and literally gets trampled on. Now our main alien Bae comes in and plucks her off the streets because…they’re mates. 

The world-building is decent but the characters are where this story shines. Our Alien Bae has a dark past but is cocky and lovable. With a great crew. The sex was great. Consensual King here, and the love doesn’t happen within the first few chapters. We get our cake and eat it too!

Samantha goes from self-loathing to “I can do this”!

You do get some alien peen, and tail sex. Please check out the authors website where they show said peen in their bonus material 18+
