“You are lucky you did not resonate to one of the puny humans,” I tell his unconscious body, as I put our packs back together and bundle them into one large burden that I sling over my shoulder.


Should I read in order?
Yes! You might feel a bit thrown in/confused if you start here.

Basic plot:
Asha and Hemalo resonated in seasons past, but after the loss of their kit, they have drifted apart. The movement of the tribe has been bringing them back together.

Give this a try if you want:
- science fiction romance
- alien setting – this takes place on Not-Hoth
- both alien mains
- second chance
- touch of put a baby in me
- fated mates
- never been kissed
- heroine nurses hero back to health
- touch of heroine pursues hero
- medium steam – 3 scenes

My thoughts:
Honestly, I didn’t think I was going to like this one at all. I’m not a big second chance fan and Asha wasn’t the most likable in some of the prior books. But I ended up really enjoying so much about this one.

I really felt for Asha. Her depression after the loss of her child, and then the earthlings coming and taking all the males and changing so much of their lifestyle. I loved, LOVED seeing her open up to Claire and watching a friendship between them grow. My heart was melting when she was able to find purpose in her clan again and feel needed. I loved the recovery themes in this novel.

I enjoyed Hemalo and their relationship sparking again. I did want more from his perspective. Asha is really strong in this book. I love how she takes care of Hemalo and I really loved how perfect they were for each other. I was smiling when she states that it’s a good thing he didn’t resonate to a puny human haha.

I wasn’t a big fan of Claire having perspective in this book. I’m super grouchy about anyone else getting page time/head time. And I think these books are a bit on the shorter side (at least to the 300-400 page historical romances I read) and I want each couple to have all their time for their character development and relationship. It felt like ¼ of this was Claire’s story being established too.

So overall not a favorite of the series for me but it was very enjoyable!

Cock/Hero Stats:

- The men are 7 feet tall, horned, tailed and blue.
- They have 4 fingers instead of 5
- They have a pinky sized bony protrusion at the base of their cock called a ‘spur’ used for clit or anal stimulation depending on position.
- Their cocks are hairless with velvety skin and darker blue than their blue skin.
- They have ridges on their tongues and cock
- Before they resonate, their semen is thinner and not as apt for baby making

Content warnings:

- child loss/relationship loss
- lots of animal usage/processing/eating
