My book cover VS book blurb pistols at dawn is going to get me one of these days - yes I bothered to read the Author's note and knew I was getting into Porn-plus-plot kind of smut as opposed to spicy romance and that was fine. But it is so badly written - not grammar or structure or any of that.
It is written like an annoying rude gremlin who happens to have an Only Fans and gets paid to swear every second word for a Cussing-Kink customer. And honestly, each to their own. But I wanted to cry the cover was so CUTE!
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
I mean it's space kidnapping and finding love with an alien. By all accounts it should have been a blast and there were some really good moments. Those good moments are the only reason I finished this book with a smile on my face.
Character Development/Favorite Character:
Opal is not "Sassy but sexy with a cheeky mouth but loveable" like say, Cinnamon or one of the others from the That Time I got Drunk series. NO. Opal is "My God STFU already and live happily ever after" so I don't have to read another word coming outta your mouth kind of sassy.
The Alien dude, Ke'ain ping-ponged between sounding like Opal and sounding like a separate character. But he was sweet and really likeable. His attachè, Gra' eth was decent too.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene::
Aaaw, one of the only Awww moments I had.
"My mouth drops open, and the bile rises in my throat.
“I can’t eat those, they’re alive!”
He looks at me strangely. “They’re no good when they’re dead.”
“I don’t think this is my people’s food,” I say politely, not wanting to insult his culture—not after he’s been so protective of me."
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤“I think of Opal. She doesnt seem like a world killer” (Ke'ain on the diseases of humans, jokes on him she's a killer of patience)
🖤 “The betrayer between my thighs screams yes, even as my brain says to wait, but sometimes your crotch yells louder than your mind” (Bahahaha - That was funny)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
■ The Pqnic Room
■Sontraful 6 sounds pretty cool
■ Humans as an invasive virus carrying galactic species.
