I thought the concept of this was very interesting - having someone you've always dreamed about and then finally meeting them plus add in space pirates and...space travel. And for the first couple chapters I could see that taking shape, but the book lost my interest a bit after that. There are a lot of spicy scenes in this book for those that are curious.
But plot-wise it was alright, nothing crazy and some of the things the main character did I didn't exactly agree with, not that I expect the character to be perfect (imperfections make the best characters). She just made some questionable decisions with questionable morals.
I also thought over all the audio narration was alright, but during the spicy scenes the narrator was almost way too over the top. Also I didn't like the ending at all as it incorporated one of my least favourite tropes (not going to mention which as I am avoiding spoilers).
So my opinion over all: it wasn't really my vibe, a bit boring as there wasn't a lot of difference in the events taking place (the whole set in space part could have been interchanged with say a cruise ship or train and you would get a similar feel), the romance was ok but I found myself emotionally disconnected from the characters.
