Welcome back everyone, I bet you weren’t expecting a review today!
Well neither was I!
Zoe gave me the heads-up last week that she had a new release ready to be read and reviewed and I just so happened to be finishing up another book and am way ahead of schedule. So, I figured why not throw in a surprise review for you! Especially since this was released YESTERDAY! So it’s really fresh off the press for you.
Zoe has written paranormal romance and sweet romance before, and I will admit to preferring the paranormal romance. But I think that has more to do with my ambivalence to sweet romance than anything else. With the new series being an alien romance, I was hoping it’d lean back towards the style I like.
Right from the start it was infused with political intrigue, sexual attraction and verbal sparring. We come in after Adriana and Taron have already had a kiss that was interrupted so there’s already some history. Meaning we skip all the awkward meeting, will it, won’t it initial kind of insecurities.
With some handy gadgets that translate any language spoken to one the wearer understands, Adriana and Taron skip a lot of potential misunderstandings that happen when people speak different languages. I was left a little confused when he understood some sayings, but not others. I mean, people from another language probably don’t understand any of my Aussie sayings and phrases, so how is it that an alien species understand half of them?
Do I seem to have some weird love of alien romance? Apparently, I do!
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review, next week I will be back to my regular Monday reviews, this time with Intimate Strangers by Lasairiona E. McMaster.

Great review. I haven’t read many alien books but maybe I should start!
They are an acquired taste I think. But this is a good one to test the waters with!
I have to admit that I’ve seen a lot of genre bending but this one is definitely a first. Or maybe it is the multitude of genres. Great review!
This isn’t a new genre, but it is the first time I’ve reviewed this genre. I feel like pretty much any type of genre you could think of, romance has done!
