From the moment I laid my eyes on her I knew she was mine. I long to claim her and give her a good life on my home world but first I must gain her trust. I obtained her cryochamber by chance and now she believes I’m the vile male who bought her. Thankfully I have the intellect of a god and the patience of a monk. It will take time and ingenuity to get her to trust me. Fortunately, I have an abundance of both.
Olivia
This guy doesn’t know when to quit! I’ve ruined his ship, stabbed him, hurled insults at him and yet he continues to look at me like I’m a gift from god. The worst part? I don’t hate it. His piercing red gaze makes my toes curl, and I can’t stop thinking about that kiss… Can I actually trust him though? He claims he’s not the male who bought me, but if he didn’t buy me how did I end up on his ship?
6 stars. I would give this 10 stars if I could. For one the dedication, this author is made of gold. There is nothing that I can say that will explain the warm tenderness that is in my chest right now.
Not only does Crystal Rose have the ability to write characters like Amon that will have you giggling, swinging your feet, twirling your hair etc but she also has the ability to write very realistic emotions that are hard to deal with represented in Olivia .
Not only in this do you have great communication, understanding of boundaries, consent but also I love how she portrays self-sabotaging behaviors that we may have as people and a way to process them.
I Love this book as I've loved the rest of her catalog and I will continue to support her catalog for as long as she's publishing. You could never tell me to not buy a book from her because I love her to pieces. She is one of the authors we SHOULD be platforming because THIS is what I want to see in my local store and library.
She writes the love we want and while it is fiction, forever uses her platform to remind those who listen what is right and wrong. BUY THIS BOOK.
*****Thank you so much to the author for providing me with an ARC of this book. This review reflects my honest opinions.
I finished this book in two days. It is definitely a fast and easy read, and there is no doubt about that. However, I have to admit that I felt bored while reading it. I usually enjoy sci-fi and alien romance books, and I read them quite often, but this one did not really work for me.
The story starts very quickly and maybe that is part of the problem. I could not get used to the characters, and honestly, I did not connect with them or grow to like them. I kept reading but I never felt fully invested. Unfortunately, I did not get the story I was hoping for from this book.
That said, readers who are looking for a fast-paced alien romance and do not need deep character development might enjoy this one more than I did.
