Resilience by Etta Pierce
5.0
emotional lighthearted medium-paced

I was still so jazzed about loving book one that I dove into this story ready to enjoy it—what I didn’t expect was how much I would freaking love this. Particularly the way this story deepened the alien-human first contact plot line and how emotional I felt about our couple navigating their first relationship hurdles together.

I just love the culture clash of an alien-human relationship and I feel like this alien romance series is the first one that’s really quenched my thirst for this trope. If it’s the first relationship between an alien and a human in the universe, I want it to be complicated!

Book two was the same couple as book one, but it’s not a duet. Book one had the standard HEA ending and book two was more of an extended epilogue.

These two just love each other so much. My heart!
