The ambitious Madame Anais Vesuvius is head of an underestimated Thura colony, a race of seven-foot, brightly colored, horned aliens known for their matriarchal society. Simon and Anais enter a mutually beneficial relationship with the same goal--to destroy the House that discarded Simon and underestimate the Thura.

Alien female, human male
A very well written story of an alien female leader who chooses a human male to be her spouse and help her defeat an evil empire.

I gotta stop finding recs on romance book subreddits. It wasn't horrible, just very not for me. This story just should've gone full Mommy kink like it wanted to, though I probably would've dropped it if it did. The lactation kink was unexpected and unexplained? Like I would've understood if she was pregnant or something, but she just produces milk? Is it supposed to help her connection with her Ver? Is Thura milk what allows their human husbands to live extremely long lives? Never explained. I got the ick every time he begged for it during sex.
There were quite a few grammatical errors, but I ignored them for the most part. And it's just a story, but I feel Simon was an engineering Mary Sue/Gary Stu. He went from ship engines to biomedical devices to culinary equipment just like that? Not to mention his expertise in ship security systems and droid hacking. For someone whose only advantage growing up was special robot eyes, I feel like that's a stretch. He was abandoned by a high power family and cared for by a single struggling relative in the literal bottom of society/ lowest level of a space station. Idk, but I just feel like his background as a thief and grunt would not lend to his being a super experienced engineering prodigy.
2 stars cause I finished it I guess...
