Should I read in order?
This is the first book in Palerno’s Bubble Babes series.

Basic plot:
Opal is kidnapped and forced to dance for aliens entertainment when a traffic jam encounter changes her course in the best way.

Give this a try if you want:
- science fiction romance
- alien setting – it’s like a beach/party vibe planet
- curvy girl rep – described as huge hips, boobs and butt
- alien hero / human heroine
- class difference
- royalty – the hero is a prince
- very protective hero
- instalust
- size difference – he can comfortably rest his chin on the top of her head
- dirty talk
- double amnesia
- high tech setting
- fated mates
- higher steam – 6 scenes

First line:
I slam my foot hard into the space where I assume the alien’s balls will be, at the apex of his legs

My thoughts:
Yay for titled chapters! I seriously love those….

This book really caught my attention! The title, of course, is fun, but as I started listening I just found myself thinking it was so delightful! But also ridiculous. And unexpected in the best way. And a bit absurd? And so fucking sweet…

I just couldn’t predict this one and that was nice after reading so many kidnapped heroine you are now my mate alien romances. The steam was fun! The plot kind of crazy. It had a few things I maybe didn’t love, but overall it was so readable I just did not care. I will absolutely be reading more from this series!

Cock/Hero Stats:

- hero is humanoid with smooth gray skin, regal nose, brawny shoulders, blue eyes, and ears that go into a frill, white hair, and has gills
- 4 fingers
- he has a clit sucker that goes back door also
- he can breath underwater and give breath to others who need it


Endearments

The hero calls the heroine ‘little one’.


Quotes/thoughts: (Any mistakes are my own) more are under steamy scenes details at the end


“So, do you think I have an extra finger or are you missing one?” she giggles as she points out our small differences.
“It must be me who is at fault for I’ve never seen anything as perfect as you.”

 


Content warnings: (This should be taken as a minimum because I could have missed some!)

- kidnapping from earth
- forced shots that change hormones without consent and make them horny, forced to dance for others (basically enslaved)
- scenes of danger, death, murder on page, attempted murder, drowning…
- there is talk of an evil...species? They cause problems for the hero and heroine and there’s talk of basically taking out their whole race, genocide, which is rather disturbing
- poisoning
- parental death



Locations of kisses/intimate scenes:

Safe sex? 
  No 

6% - 🔥 heroine masturbation that turns into voyeurism with the hero and a bit of a phone sex vibe? It’s like their communicators are connecting from different vehicles – which then turns into mutual masturbation.

“What’s your name, little human?” he asks.
I hesitate for a moment, but realize given the circumstances I’ve found myself in, telling a hot stranger my name is the least of my worries.
“Opal.”
“Opal. Do you want to come for me?” his mouth slowly smiles as he speaks.

27% - 🔥 fingering/oral for her

His voice softens, and he inhales as he leans close to me.
“Can I touch you?”

35% - 🔥 in the car – fingering for her, her on top

“I’ll be quiet as long as you promise to scream my name.”

51% - 🔥 blow job, while he’s restrained to a tree

Just as I’m about to ask her to cut me down, she drops to her knees in front of me and places her hands on my hips.
“Opal. What are you doing?” I ask.
“Giving you your reward.”

61% - 🔥 shower sex while the cruiser starts going really fast and presses them against the wall

“You think I can’t hold you down?” I ask her.
“Still mad that I kept you tied up?” Opal bites down softly on my finger. I smile and turn Opal to face the wall, maybe a little roughly after she brings up the bondage. The rows of jets sputters as they spray warm water down her body. I push her further down, putting her hips towards me.

75% - 🔥 exhibition wedding sex, followed by underwater sex not too far after

“I love you, you know. So fucking much.”
