I mean.... I was entertained. It's not for me. Maybe check it out if you're looking for a *fast-paced* romance between big strong possessive dumb (alien) man and strong-willed feeble (human) girl. I was actually into the world-building the very very few times the flora, fauna, or lore was described. That was a surprising plus.
I would have been a little bit more generous on the star rating if not for the violence in the first chapter. It was a lazy and borderline offensive way to raise the stakes in an otherwise unserious story.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual assault and Sexual violence
Moderate: Rape and Abortion
Minor: Murder
In the special addition, the author removes description of the rape in the first chapter but it is still made clear what it happening and it is still very disturbing.
