Story ok, this series improves in time

Teddy amazing as always. Tawnia not so much. Zero inflection in her tone and it’s choppy clipping off sentences was jarring. Teddy was awesome though and redeemed it.

New author for me, was happy I tried her book!

This was a good beginning to a continuing series. Mail-order brides is quite a common theme in scifi romances but I like how well-rounded this story was.
Characters were likable and I only had one 'cringe' moment in the whole story. I think that's pretty good. 😉

The female narrator had a bit monotonous voice occasionally, but overall both did a good job.

I recommend trying this series, it's an easy listen and at least in this first book we get a long sneak peak to the next one..

Overall sweet story

It was a sweet story, enjoyed it as a whole. Teddy was amazing as always, but I have to agree with other comments. Tawnia performance did feel slightly choppy. At the start when the translator was referenced, I thought it was to coincide with the story. But then it stayed that way. I just feel like it needed more emotion from her. However still an enjoyable listen as a whole.

Narration average

Teddy Hamilton was great as always, but I wasn't a fan of Tawnia Murray's narration.

I'm just here for the smut!

Alien romance is not a genre I'm familiar with. In fact this was my first. It is absolutely cliché and cheesy, but I still could not put it down.

What I liked:

- The narrators were good, especially the male voice which did all kinds of things to my ovaries.

- Vork was an honourable man, an utterly gentleman, and a freak in the sheets. That ticks all of my boxes!

- The relationship was quite pure and genuine (no actual issues) so I could just enjoy them enjoying each other.

- The sex scenes were super steamy and very creative. I love them.


What I didn't like:

- The plot is lacking (both main and sub-plots). But if you just sit back and enjoy the smutty scenes then you'll soon forget that there is a world beyond the bedroom.

- It's extremely cheesy, even as far as the romance goes. But I forgave it and enjoyed the easy read.

Enjoyable

This is a great storyline. With good strong characters I really enjoyed it. Learning how to love quickly it’s a great insta-love book. A brilliant performance from both narrators.

Good fun!

This has been a fun listen with alien/human marriages/matings. Vork and Evie have been matched and embark upon a truly different 'getting to know you' process. Teddy Hamilton and Tawnia Murray are great. The story flows in their capable hands 💖💖💖💖

Okay, so I enjoy alien “Ahem”

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️& 2.5🌶️🌶️. Well, I hate to admit it. But I’m an alien *Ahemm* kinda girly. This is my second spicy alien romance and I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters! The translators had me giggling and I loved Vork with “the Silas” it was so cute. It was quite spicy. But nothing too weird considering he’s a green alien. Maybe I’m already getting desensitised to this stuff though idk 🤷🏻‍♀️. I would actually like to continue to read other books from Ava Ross. I really enjoyed the story.
