Unabridged Audiobook
6+ hours of stomach churning sadism and Stockholm syndrome.
I had a hard time with this one. It was a little disturbing to say the least. I mean it had everything you expect from an alien romance, there’s foreign languages, kidnapping, betrayal you know, the basics. It was the beatings and the borderline sexual abuse that got me. No, there wasn’t any actual rape but the situation was so blurry that it could have been misconstrued by someone to seem that way. I didn’t feel any connection between the main characters and I mean, how could you build a connection with someone who essentially kidnapped you and kept you prisoner, using sex as a form of punishment. It was weird. This book just wasn’t my cup of tea.
something about the angst in this book turned me off. decent beginning, decent end but the middle puts me off. the conflict resolution is just too sudden in my opinion
Intense, emotional, steamy and dramatic, this book captured and held my interest easily and well. I loved the chemistry between Zavir and Liv. Zavir is fierce and very alpha. To start he seems to be very cold and unlikable, but as the story progresses and we get in his head we learn that still waters run deep. In the end I was a huge fan and was in fact quite swoony for him. Liv, I felt for. The position she was in was not enviable. Spunky, determined, protective and committed to doing what she felt was right, she was definitely a heroine you could connect with and root for. The story is beautifully written, the plot engaging and as a whole the book is exciting, entertaining and enjoyable. If you like plenty of heat, hot aliens that know what they want and sci-fi themes, you don't want to miss this one. Only single narration on this book. However, I thought the narrator had a pleasing voice and provided a very entertaining performance. This is my impartial and independent review.
