Book pals, I STRUGGLED through this book.
I wanted to LOVE it. Fated mates, alien planet, a tough warrior human surviving amongst the aliens.
In the end, I am glad I finished it because the second half of the novel is pretty enjoyable. The first half, just let the miscommunication trope stay too late at the party. The worst part about this was also that frankly speaking, as the reader I wasn't let in completely on the miscommunication- so I was left essentially guessing- and I am especially NOT a fan of that. The world building was pretty much non-existent. I fear all of it was used up in the first book which had pretty interesting world building. This felt like it could be taking place on antarctica, not a cold outpost in outer space.
Secondly I was not a big fan of the particularly sexy fun times in the book. They didn't sound that fun to me, but given that other people love this book, I might have just been reading it at the wrong time.
So, If you are looking for some alien romance, this could be one for you. I'm undecided if I want to pursue more in this series. If I do it will be a while. I suspect this was the wrong time, wrong book situation more than a bad book, so if you do want some kinky alien romance, check this one out, it is on Kindle Unlimited and I got an audio copy from my library!
