The Alien's Cargo by Gemma Voss
4.0
adventurous emotional

Am I a bad person if I say that one of my favourite alien romance tropes is when the bad guys imprison the alien hero and then kidnap a bunch of human ladies because they want to find his fated mate for nefarious reasons?

Nothing says romance like meeting under duress ๐Ÿ˜… Especially when thereโ€™s a huge amount of language barrier and escape-adventure-danger, my favourite.

You could argue that, even though this is book 5 of 6 in the main series, you could start with this one (if you like being a series chaos queen). This story was an important node in the overarching series, as well as its connection to the spin-off. It had a lot of plot stuff to pull off, and I was pretty impressed!

It was just shy of a perfect read because the heroine did something dumb at one point, and not in a fun way. But overall, I really enjoyed it ๐Ÿ’™
