Renegade Love: An Alien Bounty Hunter Romance by Ann Aguirre
3.0
Manic-pixie-dream-girl is horny for Bobafett in this sci-fi, Beauty and the Beast meets The Mandalorian, alien romance.
This was a cute and dark space adventure but it didn’t truly engage me. I liked the vulnerability of the hero and the strength of the heroine and the plot has some good action but I had trouble really being absorbed by it. It felt too much like Star Wars fan fiction for my personal taste. It had lots of pop cultural references that I didn’t fully get, or appreciate - someone more into sci-fi tv and video games might enjoy this more.
For the romance part, I felt that their relationship went from adversarial to hot for each other to deeply committed in the blink of an eye. I’m not sure I fully understood why she was so horny for him on first sight since he was very alien looking. It seemed more like they were both so very lonely that they were drawn together just because they had someone. The sexy times were pretty basic, for all the enjoyment the two seemed to get from it. Props to the author on an incredibly detailed description of his junk though, much appreciated
