buffyreads 's review for:
A Bride for the Alien Prince
by Eva O'Hare
Highlights:
I'm so hyped for an alien romance series where EVERYONE IS BLACK! Estelle and Abrax were sweet. There were some nice conversations between them as they grew to like and understand each other. There was some interesting world-building as there was politics involved and a disease that wiped out all the women on the planet.
Lowlights:
I'll be honest and just say I did not like this book. The insta-lust was very evident even for side characters and done in an illogical way. Estelle I understood had a growing connection with Abrax but Zora? I thought there was going to be a fated mates type explanation for her behavior but she was literally just horny. It also would've made the women getting paired up with random alien men less forceful in my eyes. They got kidnapped and essentially paired off to strangers without any choice. Plus I didn't understand how less than a dozen women were going to repopulate an entire race of people. Side-note: I hated the "ancient aliens" connection to Egypt. I get some people don't understand it's based in white supremacy but it still is. Every non-european advanced ancient civilization is theorized to have been helped by aliens while civilizations at the same time such as the Romans are never theorized like this. It's one of those things that seem incoxus but aren't.
Horn Level: 3/5
