Did I intentionally start an 8 book series in order to avoid other responsibilities? 🙈

Yes. Yes I did.

LOVED this. I can already tell this will be a Top 3 Alien Romance series for me. You know, the only insignificant complaint I have is the use of the word "cream" and, honestly, I'm already over it because I just love everything else so much. ❤️

Fated Mates ✔️
Teaching hunky aliens about kissing ✔️
Language barriers ✔️
Tearing the universe apart just to keep her safe ✔️
Breeding/pregnancy trope ✔️
CONSENT ✔️✔️✔️

I will caution with TWs for this first book (there are a lot of dark themes tucked behind the fluffy fated mates trope)- mentions of past sexual assault and rape of other characters, violence, character deaths, mothers and children dying during childbirth, abortion, abduction, slave trade.... (I'll update the list if I think of any more.) 

On to book two!
