it was ok
bookshelves: aliens, alpha-hole, doormat-heroine, fuck-this-guy, kindle-unlimited, pnr, sci-fi

Started skimming at the 60% mark because the misogyny was making me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

MMC is a paternalistic fuckhead

FMC is a pathetic doormat who talks a lot of smack but is so weak-willed and toothless that I just can't even

I know a lot of these alien romances have dub-con, but something about this in particular skeeved me out. These alien men can apparently control women so thoroughly that they can even control when a woman ovulates. Zero body autonomy. All I could think was wow, what a very Republican superpower. 🤮

Jai M {Cat Crazy Dragon } Why 2⭐️ and not 1?
You hit several of my top peeves, no way will I go near! Thank you ☺️


Katyana Haha sorry if that is confusing. My rule is that if I finish it (even though I was just skimming) I give it two unless it was so heinous I was hate-reading. I skimmed out of some terrible hope that the author could turn it around, but it didn't happen.

You have my full sympathies! Been there, read that 😂

I swear my ratings get more confusing the more I read.
The more good books I read, the less patience I have for the not, giving lower than I would have a few years back… 🤷‍♀️

Don’t you sometimes wish you could go through with a red line, and correct all the ‘glaring’ issues 😬😅


Katyana Haha yes, definitely. And I'm with you, I have so much less patience than I did a few years ago.
