**Contains Spoilers**

I went into this book with absolutely no high expectations. I was right to not expect much from this book.

This book has an interesting concept. Abducted by alien, abandoned in a remote world, and courted by an unfamiliar species.

That concept was not executed well, at all. The book felt super rushed, and the world building is minimal. To be fair, the lack of world building probably helps with the plot, which is essentially just mature sexual themes.

The two main characters, Georgie and Vetkal, aren’t inherently dislikable. They just have absolutely no personality aside from their sexual prowess. 

Speaking of sexual aspects, for a book that mainly consists of said sexual themes, I’ve honestly read better. Even those spicy moments felt rushed and boring.

Also! I found nothing about this when researching the book, but it contains
sexual violence
.

So, if you are looking for an interesting plot and world, this isn’t the book to read. If you want something just to pass time and you enjoy reading smut, feel free to give it a try.
