I absolutely loved this book. I'm obsessed with learning everything about Reka 5 and the Talleans. I did not realize that this was a standalone within a larger series.

Tradgek was super alpha yet so vulnerable and insecure. I love that he sought out advice and education on what to expect and how to react. He was a perfect gentleman, and his inner dialogue was humorous.

While I usually prefer hard ass heroines, Chelsea was a good fit. She was adjusting to so many new things, I don't fault her for being flustered and apprehensive.

Also, this isn't just a Christmas story but also a winter solstice celebration. It was fun seeing the blending of the two.

This was a super spacey love story that hit the stop. I highly recommend this standalone and can't wait to start the series.
