He needs me to play the role of fake fiancée to appease his family of tentacle-tailed cops.
I’ll keep up the charade as long as I need if it means being reunited with Abraxas and Rurik.
Shouldn’t be too hard, right? To play pretend …
My life force is now inextricably tied to handsome, gun totin’ Officer Hyt.
But do you know what happens if my new in-laws find out that I’m mated to three different males?
Intergalactic war, that’s what.
Eve Wakefield here, currently stationed on the water planet, Yaoh. I’ve been subject to all sorts of unimaginable cruelty since landing family drama, ill-fitting bathing suits, and Hyt’s horrible childhood friend. This woman is not only in love with my (fake) mate, but she’s also disturbingly perceptive. If she tells the Chief of Police that his son and I are we’re dead. Did I mention that liars are executed here?
And what about the king and queen, the ones stuck on that horrible spaceship?
Liars might be killed on Hyt’s planet, but Rurik’s people won’t stand for adultery.
If they find out, they’ll do they’ll start eating planets and they won’t stop.
Ah, hell.
I did not intend to be crowned the queen of aliens.
It sounds like the dumbest dumb-dumb alien romance plot ever.
But if that’s the only way to save the people that I love, can I do it?
Wear the crown, take the throne, save the universe.
Yeah, I got this.
VENERY - book 3 of 3 in the For the Love of Aliens trilogy. This is a why choose/reverse harem alien romance. In the series finale, we’ll see what it looks like when Eve's three alien males come together, find out what it really means when a spaceship eats something, and see our beloved caterer/queen of the universe get the ending she deserves.
C.M. Stunich is a self-admitted bibliophile with a love for exotic teas and a whole host of characters who live full time inside the strange, swirling vortex of her thoughts. Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn't mind - especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.
She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she's not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She's the author of over thirty novels - romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There's a heck of a lot to do there.
Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She's already looking forward to it.
So, the thing is: I’m still not sold on alien smut. But I am sold on this alien smut. Because when I was reading this series, but especially this final book in said series, the fact that the MMCs were aliens didn’t matter in the least. It hasn’t mattered the whole time. When I’m reading the spicy scenes in these books I’m often too caught up in the way C.M. Stunich writes (which is always stunning) to bother worrying about which parts goes where. Who cares how many tentacles are in which orifice? Not me. I care about what Officer Hyt is saying and feeling, and I care about what Eve is saying and feeling. No more. No less. Because what they’re saying and feeling is actually hotter than which part is going where.
To be honest, everyone’s possessiveness, attentiveness, and protective natures is a way bigger turn-on than almost everything else. The way Hyt, Abraxas, and Rurik constantly cover Eve in pheromones and mark spaces is both touching and sexy in a way I’d never condone in real life but find distinctly appealing when a tiny human female is stuck in outer space among environments and alien races who would love to see her dead.
I loved the first half of the book as Eve spends time with Hyt on Yaoh, waiting for Abraxas to arrive and playing “fake-fiancee” with Officer Hyt. She gets to play “possessive girlfriend” and it’s so much fun. I loved the second half of the book more, as she reunites with Abraxas and Rurik and all four of them try to figure out the rest of, well, everything. (Anything more than that would be spoilers).
The playful, sisterly banter Eve has with Jane is hilarious and familiar for anyone who has a bestie who’s as close as a sister. After not seeing much Abraxas since book one I was so happy to have him back. He’s just a dragon-y cinnamon roll who’s incredibly competent.
Watching Eve and the guys come together and pull their stuff together in order to make everything work is everything I could have wished and hoped for out of this series. I loved it so much. I’d love to see what happened to some of the supporting characters in the aftermath of this story. I’ll wait and see what Stunich will do.
All opinions, thoughts, views, and ideas expressed herein are mine and mine alone. Thank you.
This is like 400 pages too long, seriously. So much filler. I was bored. The scenes that were actually good were few and far between. Everything got wrapped up in neat little bows but it felt like the author was just checking every thing off of a list. Very bland.
4.6 stars. Abraxas is still my favorite. He’s for real Toothless with horns, in a constant state of rut.😂 In other words: ✨adorably dangerous✨ He never revealed his age, but my guess is that he’s actually on the young side of an ‘elder’. He’s just too smart.
Anyway. This was very long, and then the, arguably most, important part of the book was just like ‘yeah so that happened and it’s all good now’…over in a couple sentences. I mean. I liked the outcome. I thought it was kind of cute honestly, but it was just so quickly flipped that it didn’t give me much satisfaction.
Still. I really enjoyed the series. Lots and lots of very alien smut. Lots of humor in many different forms. Lots of sweetness. Also lots of guilt and doubting and second guessing that I wasn’t a fan of, but luckily the other things really helped me find it all worth it.
Overall, this is a fun trilogy and I enjoyed it for the most part.
I think I would’ve liked the series more if each book had different characters with an ongoing plot progression. Honestly, by the end of book 3 I was a bit bored with Eve and her fellas. Maybe it was because of the overuse of the authors acronym of A.S.S. (Alien smut slut) and the FMC reminding us over and over that she’s TSTL. It was funny the first time and annoying the 30th.
I was genuinely worried if they and their worlds were gonna make it or not. I constantly went back and forth between who was my favorite alien. They were all wonderful.
And if only we all had a bff like Jane. Their friendship was chefs kiss.
“The whole universe knows that the Imperial Princess is missing now. I'm the Imperial Princess. Hyt kidnapped me. Rurik is in big trouble. I'm dead without Abraxas' cum. Important shit like that.”
This book. If there was ever an alien trilogy to recommend to someone who has an alien and monster fucker kink - it’s here. This is it. It’s fated mates. It’s three different alien species with VERY different alien appendages and customs. It’s giving romance. It’s giving smut. It’s giving drama. It’s giving comic relief. It’s.all.there.
In book three, we get to know Hyt.. our alien space cowboy with tentacles and pheromone suckers…
“I want to be in the running, Eve. To be your mate. Maybe it's because you're the most unattainable female in the whole of the Noct, and that makes you a challenge. I've always loved a challenge." Always going against the rules and plays by his own, he falls in love with a twice mated human. His species doesn’t like humans… yet here are.
Eve falls hard for these three aliens that love her even harder and risk their entire lives to all be together. It’s such a beautiful story that kept me on edge the entire time. I’ve I was ever beamed up to space by aliens, I can only hope it’s by one of these three species that claimed Eve as their mate. “That's... that's true love, isn't it? When your guys can get cucked by a double-dicked dragon.”
When everyone is finally together, and we FINALLY get a few long epilogue chapters into the future… I literally cried happy tears for these fictional characters. So well deserved.
I’m so hoping this trilogy gets typed enough that CM Stunich will continue with side characters to get their own stories because they definitely need them! I need them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you are worried about us not getting enough of the other guys in this book, don’t worry. It’s almost twice as long as the others and we get a good amount of our dear Falopex officer Hyt and the other alien men together as well.
I loved this story so much, there were no loose ends to worry about, and the men were amazing as well as the greenest of flags. I loved their dynamic and if you asked me who my favorite was I couldn’t tell you because ALL of the men were THAT amazing, and so incredibly different from one another. I loved Eve’s character, she likes to make herself seem like she’s not a nice person but she is. She’s sassy for sure, but when it comes down to it she’s always thinking about others and how they feel and I think she’s a lovely fmc because of it, but at the same time I also enjoy her personality because she doesn’t just let people walk all over her. She has sass and fire and it made for an amazing chemistry between her and the men.
This has to be one of the smuttiest Alien RH I’ve ever read, and I loved every minutes of it. I would love to read about the other characters, especially Avery and Zero.
I hate to say it, but this just felt too long. The writing style was definitely different, but was still able to suck me in as a reader. I loved all of our harem. I would’ve preferred if Jane’s story was told on its own instead of slightly parallel to Eve’s. The human characters are the only ones that feel one dimensional. Abraxas, Hyt and Rurik all felt so real, and it was incredibly easy to fall for each of them. I would destroy planets for all them. In that me and Eve were alike. Also while it was funny and made me laugh aloud, the jokes were getting REALLY repetitive. Otherwise an enjoyable read, but I will not reread it. Also Kya is soooo adorable🥰
Meh just ok. 2.8 stars. Waaaay too many sex scenes. I was skimming them. Eve’s still bratty/selfish but she did get just a bit better. Not enough male POVs.
“Venery” is more than 700 pages of the final instalment of Eve’s story. As with each of the previous books, a significant portion of the book is dedicated to getting to know and building the relationship with another member of the harem. We spend the first 1/3 of this book with Eve and Officer Hyt, before shit hits the fan and Eve, Rurik, Hyt, and Abraxas (swoon!) have to fight for their future.
I both loved and disliked aspects of this story…I’ll start with what I loved:
✅ The writing style. The plot was interesting, the world building was fantastic, and the dialogue was engaging. ✅ The three unique MMC’s and the creativity that went into building out their respective worlds, their physiology, and their characters. Hats off to the author on this. ✅ The fact that all loose ends were (basically) tied up by the end. 80% in I was nervous with how much was still open/unknown, but I’m left completely satisfied. ✅ Abraxas “thank you for quenching the hungry depths of my lonely heart.” ❤️❤️❤️
What I didn’t love:
☑️ The sheer amount of smut in this last book. Seriously, the size could have been cut by a third and still have had more than enough smut to satisfy me. I was sad to feel myself skimming through most of the last 50% of it. ☑️ Even though the “RH” aspect of this worked out at the end, it felt more like a “love triangle” through most of the book giving me some vague “cheating” vibes which tainted my feeling of the relationships throughout most of the series. It recovered by the end, but not enough to get rid of that bitter aftertaste. ☑️ Eve. She annoyed me in the first two books and continued to annoy me in this one. Just so many little things, but her character brought down the whole series for me. ☑️ I got really, really tired of the “dumb-dumb alien romance novel tropes” references. It was funny the first 10 times. Not the last 50.
Overall, I definitely applaud the author on such a unique story with so many sought-after tropes and really loveable MMC’s. I enjoyed the series and would recommend for sure…but I don’t feel invested enough to read any future instalments.
Is there anything I can really say that won’t spoil? I’ll do my best to make this coherent. I was on the fence about Hyt after book 2. He had some potential, and clearly was a good person, but, like, ABRAXAS. I shouldn’t be surprised I changed my mind because I also was very firmly on team “add Rurik to the harem” by the end of Seminal. This trilogy gives time and attention to each MMC as an individual, and a way for them to grow with the FMC as a couple without the other MMCs being around. Each relationship was all consuming in and of itself, so it probably wouldn’t have been feasible to add MMCs otherwise. There was a moment, a major plot point, where I was really unhappy and debated dropping the rating. Then I decided it fit with the rest of the story, and moved on. It was over the top and ridiculous and wonderful as a whole.
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: violence, gore, child abuse (off page), emotional abuse from parent, cheating-ish, severe illness, murder
Great ending to a fantastic series. Usually, I put my book on audio so it reads to me while I complete other things like housework and such, but I had to read every word. I loved this series so much. I could read Eves life story forever.
If you haven't read this series, I highly recommend it.
Alien. Stolen from Earth. Mate bond. Why chose. Space. Planets. Girl drama. Fighting. Kidnapped. Strong female. Two meat sausage. Tentacles. Pregnancy. Family drama. Book boyfriends.
The first two books balanced the intimate scenes with plot really well. This one felt like too much for me. I fully understand that the mating was intrinsic to the story and this was Eve's time with Hyt, which is fine, but it was in almost every chapter, especially in the first half. It all melded together, and I had to push myself to keep reading.
That being said, I absolutely LOVED the last 25%, in particular, the ending. The resolution to making Rurik king was not overdone, and I never saw the ship's response in a million years. It was fantastic and unexpected. I also enjoyed the epilogues.
This series was really neat. If you're looking for a fun adventure with a mouthy human and spectacular aliens from outer space, you'll like it.
This book was extremely long. Way longer than the first two books. I felt a lot of it was repetitive. Like repeating everything that’s happened between Eve and her mates. The book definitely happened how it needed to but it was also about 200 pages too long. I am happy they eventually got their HEA. Still not a fan of the FMC talking to the reader. Rurik becoming free was a bit anticlimactic. That scene was just as important as them fighting for the throne. That part felt rushed and thrown together.
Towards the end the author kept referencing Rurik’s horns but I didn’t think he had horns, just antennae. There was also a mixup of characters at the end.
3.5 but I’ll round up because I loved Hyt and the world building was interesting but I do not like the endless hand wringing about the RH and her interminable inner dialogue which wears the reader down much more intensely by the third book.
If I have to read the phrase ASS alien Smut slut OR dumb-dumb alien romance plot I swear I will be compelled to murder. The number of times these 4th wall breaking phrases appeared to absolutely tear me out of the narrative is uncountable. And it happens in each of the books and gets progressively worse. Im begging you. Please no more.
Holy shit that last book was so long. But it was really quite good. Would I read again though? I don’t know honestly… I just didn’t connect with the characters especially the heroine. BUT it was written beautifully and held my interest enough to read a 772 page book lmfao.
What I liked: -world building -The alien descriptions -the hero’s personalities -I did like the epilogues they were very cute -the funny moments especially with Abraxas peeing on everything lol
What I didn’t like: -the heroine seemed narcissistic at times and was soooo back and forth throughout the second and even third book. -the ending and everything building up was so abrupt, we were told rather than shown -what was up with the cat? That was so random -the scene with the ship?????? Like okay????? All of that worry over Rurik being attached to the ship for everything to work out PERFECTLY in less than 10 pages??????? -I was still so confused lol
**SPOILERS**

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
that was an awful lot of buildup for something that was able to be concluded in one chapter in a couple pages… also i appreciate the art of the guys bc i can’t picture stuff for the life of me but WHAT DO THE KIDS LOOK LIKE????? HELLO??? I NEED ART OF THEM?? hopefully we get more from this world tho like i’d love to read jane’s side either of these of events or her story after it but i also def want a kayla book and a zero book
Just goes on and on my friends …this didn’t need half of what was in here. It dragged on forever. Disappointing end to a series I started out liking very much.
I loved this series bc it was not only an interesting take on an alien romance storyline, it had humor and drama, too. I loved each of the aliens, but I had a special affinity for Rurick - especially bc he sacrificed so much for her. I will say that I did NOT have a problem with Eve’s character, as other reviewers have mentioned. BUT, I did have a problem with certain phrasings that were just kind of done to death and started to get really annoying. But that is obviously more on the author’s word choice than it is a character flaw. If I saw the phrase “dumb-dumb alien romance plot” one more time, I was gonna scream. The first few times I read it in one of the first books in the series, I found it humorous. But when it’s said in every other chapter of the third book, I started to get aggravated. Way too repetitive, and way too particular of a phrase to be so monotonous. Same with “ish.” Every little thing that was like something on earth, was labeled “ish.” Crab-ish. Tea-ish. Bird-ish. I mean, c’mon. I don’t mind a few thrown in the book bc maybe it’s that character’s lexicon, but it was done to a point where I was like, NO ONE says “ish” that much. There were so many other ways the author could describe an animal or thing that’s similar to those things on earth, it just became an annoyance that had me rolling my eyes every time I read it. I also didn’t like the unfinished story of Jane. Did they bring her dad back? What happened to him? Was he living with her, or what? Why was she so against her relationship with Captain Kidd? Also, why were there NO repercussions for Hyt’s dad? Like, if Eve is now the ruler, she can’t remove him from his post or anything? He sacrificed his son and wanted him killed, for God’s sake. I didn’t like that that part of the storyline was left unresolved, especially since we saw that Minae was punished, and the dad’s actions were far worse, if you ask me. Also, what happened to the ship? How did it not die if it wasn’t eating? And plenty of aliens were living on the ship before - did they all move off the ship, or stay there? And why didn’t Eve have more kids? She has 3 husbands and was known to be “especially fertile.” The author commented how ALL of them were, and that the aliens wanted to impregnate her again even while she was pregnant. It was mentioned several times. And then 4 yrs later in the epilogue, nothing??? Just saying. I would have traded a few chapters with repetitive alien sex to have some chapters that wrap up the storyline. Again, these are just nit-picky issues. Overall, this book is still 5 stars for me bc I couldn’t put it down. That’s how I like to rank books - can I put this down? Is it easy to walk away? Or am I just reading this to finish it? I was fully vested in the story and I loved the creativity.

Man, f**k Minnae! But also f**k Eve. OK. I am so upset that I didn't DNF this book. But I'm also really glad that I didn't. I was glad that I saw how it actually worked out for them in the end. But man, I would not have been upset about like 300 less pages to get there.
Hyt abducts Eve for like the 3rd or 4th time since she ended up on Jungryuk. He brings her to Yaoh, and I do like their relationship a lot. We're in another situation where they will actually die if they don't have sex. So. Eve will die if she doesn't have sex with Abraxas every 10 days or so? Rurik will die if he doesn't feed from Eve every few weeks, maybe a month. And Hyt and Eve will both die if they don't have sex every 6 months at least. These mate bonds do NOT mess about.
Life on Yaoh sounds like an actual dream. I wish they weren't all cops or naked all the time, but swimming everywhere sounds super fun! So maybe not life on Yaoh, but it sounds like a perfect vacation destination. Not much beach, only water and over water villas!
Eve harped on cheating a lot. This was truly a reverse harem. She didn't want them touching each other or anyone else who wasn't Eve. This took me all of the way out of the story every time it came up. Like if you're going to have 3 life partners, and you want to have group sex, the idea that you would be in the middle of having sex and freak out if they touch each other? That's WILD. I think it was the vehemence that she spoke about it.
Other than that, their family unit was very cute. I am fully interested in how things go with Jane and Kayla and with Kya and the Atrata. But not enough to read their books.... I couldn't read another sentence about Eve. :/
I loved!!! When I saw how long this book was, I was apprehensive and even worried it would drag. But once I started it, I remembered how much time Abraxas and Rurik got to develop their relationships. I mean, in world for Rurik was very short, but they got their own books. Poor Hyt needed to super speedy set up their romance, and then the rest of the book was needed for the big conclusion. With so many life-threatening things happening all at once and relying on secrets, no wonder the book was almost 800 pages.
The Mpreg thing caught me completely by surprise, but it was hilarious. I'm such a weirdo for loving it, but hey, one woman's trashy outlandish alien romance is another woman's daydream.
Hyts family is crazy, Love the Grandmas, and his little sis deserves the world for what she's had to go through. Minnie can go live on a barren planet, and I'd love to shoot Hyts father into he sun. A couple of suns actually.
The new planet was just as exciting and wild as what was in the other two books, and my secret mermaid dreams were coming to life with the concept of the pearl allowing her to breathe underwater.
Now, having the big meet-up with everybody, the Abraxas mini kidnapping, and all the group bonding *wink wink* was everything I wanted and more. And the absolutely insane genetics of their little baby girl made me all sorts of giddy and giggly, and I loved the feeling. If there is future books or novellas or even just a written concept about what mischief that little alien hybrid is going to get up to, I'll be first in line.
The final fight with the evil centipede mom and grumpy-guts-with-the-gross-bloodlace dad was epic and terrifying all at once. But the way it ended, with Rurik in agony and terror and them staying sparred for that time, skip was just cruel. To me and to the fictional characters. I hope the author cried even a fraction as much as I did.
In conclusion: even though my friends and family heard me whining about how long the book was, I loved every page, every scene, every chapter. Seriously, there were no downsides, and I wouldn't have actually wished for it to be any shorter. I was just whining cuz instead of reading 5 books that week, I only managed 2. But that's a me problem.

Are you f^cking kidding me overall review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice: 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
This series took me several days to read. Not because it didn't pull me in. Not because it was awful. It was because I wanted to SAVOR it. I think I only read 10% at a time because I needed to digest what was happening. Excuse me while I try to figure out how to go on with my life now that I've finished this series. I am BLOWN away. I would literally sell my soul for spin-offs... any kind of spin offs 😭 even f^cking Tabbi Kat.
When I saw that C.M. was writing a series about a Why Choose Alien Romance, I was like, ehhhhh okay. Then I saw it would be an Insta Love Slow Build Romance and I really wasn't sure I wanted to read it at all because I loathe Insta Love and didn't understand what Slow Build meant. I was wrong. So very wrong. Holy fuck I am in love and obsessed. I am a silly dumb dumb woman for EVER doubting the ability that C.M has for creating such incredible characters and an unbelievably detailed story. Oh, and the Insta Love Slow Build? I get it now. Amazingly done.
This was my 2nd? Alien romance I've read, and now I am fully an A.S.S (alien smut slut) but maybe only if C.M. writes them. The amount of detail that went into each Alien race was incredible. Even without the art that Amanda created, I had no problems imagining what they looked like.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful world. I hope we can eventually see more of it 🖤
So, this trilogy has easily become one of my favorite series, and for someone who had been more into fantasy/monster type books before this, let me tell you, this author creates such a brilliant and in-depth alien world! Each planet, each species, is so beautifully designed, and yet it doesn't feel like it's just all world-building to the point of boredom, like some books.
My absolute favorite thing though has got to be Abraxas character development throughout the series (minor spoiler ahead). In the first book we understand that he is sentient, but like out FMC we almost believe him to be more... Rustic? Uneducated? And then by the time that this book comes to a close we find such a wise character who was simply misunderstood but (in my opinion) might just be the most clever out of the bunch!
For C.M. (based on one of the notes in the end of the book) - I would absolutely read any other books written in this universe, but I would be lying if I wasn't the most hopeful for a future continuation about little Kya all grown-up! Close second for me would be tied at Jane's story and Kayla's story; as much as I liked Zero and Avril in this series, I didn't necessarily ever connect to them enough to be completely desiring of a book about either of their continued stories (although I would still read them if they were written!)
This is book three and the story finally gets its happy ending. This book picks up after book two and Eve has been taken by the prince. The prince seems nice but honestly I did not like him at all. He was too manipulative with his pheromones on Eve and tried to push all of his ways on Eve. So much so that he was harming Eve in trying to alter the DNA of her as a human. Now Hyt was a good guy who liked Dve from book one but respected her mate Abraxas. When he finds Eve unresponsive and ill from not having Abraxas, he knows he must do everything to save Eve. Hyt has a generally good family except for his dad. The history revealed from the dad was awful. His sister Kayla stole the show. My favorite mate, was Eve’s first mate Abraxas. He was the best mate and super intelligent, clever, and loving. Abraxas understood the joys of life in the best way. He shared this with Eve in their beginning plus even when she had to take on the other two mates due to circumstances out of her control. Abraxas was the first and best mate. Read On!
Starts with cheating, spirals from there. As I mentioned in an update while reading, this is less of a “why choose” and more of a “why respect your partners”, and even though I myself am not poly, this left a bad taste.
Despite one of the LIs being *very clearly miserable* as a result of the MC’s actions, she continues to barrel her way through all interactions and make the same “Alien Smut Slut” joke I hoped and damn near prayed would be an unfortunate one-off joke from an older author that’s a little out of touch with humor, à la JD Robb.
No such luck. I stopped counting at ten times this “joke” was stated, though, honestly might’ve been counting a few from the previous entry in this series.
Between the MC turning into a totally different character, the filler being more prevalent than plot, and said aforementioned plot—the main crux of the story—being resolved in a page or two, I ended up not enjoying this book. Which is a shame as the smut scenes are well-written and it’s very clear that the author has skill with those scenes and with describing atypical biology. That skill just didn’t translate to maintaining a likable MC and a well-thought-out story.

I have always loved my alien romance sprinkled between my love for vampire, shifter, fae, omegaverse, boss bish, and why choose tropes. But THIS...This is amazing! The connection between Eve and her loves...Well done! You get a bit of everything in this series, and nothing is really left out. The smut factor - 10, adventure - 10, descriptions - 10, romance - 10, and just a bit of insta-love (the rest have to really work for it). There is even a bit of closure between Eve and her family. I am really happy I chose to read Pheromone and the following books. Best choice I've made this week. So, if you haven't read this series yet, and you love alien and why choose romance, what are you waiting for? It's so good!
As for what's next... I'd really love to hear more about Avril. I felt her pain as she watched nearly everyone she arrived with find their HEA (even her ex) while she was passed over. I would like to see her have an adventure and love of her own. *A side story about the human woman and the 'good' Ork would be cool, too. 😊
This series gave serious Space Ball vibes. I loved the way the FMC fully admitted and owned up to her TSTL tendencies at the beginning of the series yet had enough character growth by the end to stay in her lane and was able to realistically help her mates during the whole meat venom and creepy skitters bruhaha. I loved the sense of closure we got at the end of the book that most kidnapped human storylines lack. I enjoyed reading about their HEA as a family and I very much enjoyed how the multiple father pregnancy was handled. The MMCs were all endearingly adorable in their own special oddball ways and the FMC grew on me. I would very much like to read further stories in the same universe. Maybe a standalone for each side character and then maybe another trio or even a duet for the daughter. I feel like the daughter has the most potential as a FMC and her story could be epically space operatic.
I have a serious book hangover from this series. It was just… so well written, the world building was incredible and the emotions, the characters, they were so visceral.
The trials and tribulations the FMC went through to get her HEA. At times I wanted to close my eyes and hope the bad people just went away lol but others I was brought to tears by her emotional struggles. And other moments had me laughing my butt off.
I can’t say it enough times how much I adore big D. I love the other males in her harem but there’s something about a big, beastly primal male that just plain does it for me.
Absolutely FANTASTIC series. I plan on recommending this to as many people as possible.
Also, I so hope there will be stories for all the ladies. I’d love to know how their HEA’s go, except maybe Tabbi… no you know what? I still wanna know her story. It seems she went on a crazy adventure too.
As soon as I saw how long book three was, I was jumping for joy! It's a good sign when a reader doesn't want a series to end, right? I wasn't sure what to expect before I started this series with book one, but I have to say that with each subsequent book, the author has blown every preconception and expectation I may have had right out of the water AND replaced them with something that's unique, imaginative, fun, playful, exciting, heart-wrenching, heart-stopping, sexy, fast-pasted, and so much more. It's seriously galactically epic! I whole-heartedly recommend this series! In addition to amazing storylines and absolutely fantastically dynamic characters, the thing I loved the most about book three is that it didn't just end after a major event... there was more and answers were given and it was just so satisfying to have that... as well as the amazing epilogue, which I also loved. My hope is for a sequel or sister-series that features the side character Kayla as the MC.
