2KNOBS & A SHORT ADVENTURE

World building is alright. Could have been better. All we needed was some comedy in all these flying hunks dual glory. Still worth the purchase for me. Wish the author made a collection for the series.

Great Read! - Jyr and Viv

Our FMC wakes up to find herself kidnapped by aliens. She makes her escape and notices hundreds of more females with her in a stasis. Before she can attempt to rescue them, she finds herself in the middle of a raid and lands right into the arms of her “alien fated me”

FMC - Viv has trauma and doesn’t find herself lovable or worth being noticed. So when a handsome 7ft warrior is declaring your the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, she has a hard time trusting this.

MMC - Enters Jyr - 7th winged confident, handsome and a little arrogant Prime of the Gryn. He secretly has been building a lair and nest for his fated mates for years, even though all the females of his race were killed off year prior. He never gave up hope, and one day a “human” drops from the sky.

This was a first for me from this author and I was very pleased with how the story turned out. The narrators did a fantastic job and I cannot wait to continue the series.

Bad Angels!

The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙💚💜
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘
World building: 🌎🌍🌏🌎
Character development: 😤😠🙃
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Dual Narration

The heroine: Viv - she is taken from outside her home and wakes up with a tube down her throat in a pool of goo, naked on the floor. She pulls the tube out of her throat and sees a bunch of large bags full of liquid with tubes going into them and a woman inside each of them. All of the sudden, the rear of the room opens and she is falling from a spaceship onto a planet when something flying with claws grabs her out of the air.

The Hero: Jyr - he is the prime of the Gryn legion, the only Gryn legion left on Ustacas after the reckoning (a war between organics and machines). A legion of a hundred vicious and daunting males. They are formidable predators with wings and claws. They lost most of their females in the reckoning and need more for the species to survive.

The Story: Viv is brought to the ground after being caught, she is still naked and now covered in mud. When she looks up, expecting to see a large bird, she sees humanoid men with wings. Her inner voice calls them ‘bad angels’. The men go and get their leader, a 7 foot tall ‘bad angel’, handsome and fearsome.

Viv was burned badly in the past and has burn scars on her skin, she considers herself disfigured. I don’t know why some authors like to put disfiguring scars on their Heroes or heroines. Do they think making them less than perfect makes them more relatable? I am not sure but I don’t like it, I am also not a fan of women who are fat or “curvy”. I am curvy and I don’t want to read about curvy or scarred heroines. I like to imagine a thin and pretty heroine. I get enough of women like myself when I look in the mirror.

The story is told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Dan Calley and Carmen Rose. Both of these narrators speak with an accent. I can’t tell what accent, possibly European or South African. Either way, they both have good voices and are competent narrators, though neither are among my favorite narrators, they both are a bit monotone and don’t portray much emotion through their voices.

The world building was fairly good, though I found the story to be no more than average for the alien romance genre and the characters a bit flat. I am not sure if it was the accents, the writing or my mood, but I just didn’t get invested in the characters like I usually do. Also the book tries to be super steamy, especially because the alien male has two sexual appendages, but it just comes off a bit corny.

it was rather dull.

Why the hell does this book have such a good rating? This is mindless crap. I’m usually pretty forgiving, but nope, I can’t read this. The guy is an asshole and if she’s attracted to that then she’s not much better.

He finds her on the floor of a jail cell, naked, covered in mud, and he senses that she’s his mate. Does he ask her name? No. Does he ask how she got there? No. Does he ask if she’s okay?! Nope. Does he grab her up instantly, take her to his place, and immediately hit her with, “I’m gonna fill you with so much cum until you have all my babies”? Yes. And when she rebukes him, he leaves her there alone, naked, covered in mud, and she’s no species he’s ever seen. What. The.F? And then a few hours later she’s in bed with him, simply cause he’s hot and he accepts her scars. Oh so romantic. 🙄 Not! And STILL he’s barely shown any concern or empathy for her abduction, and when she says she wants to find the other humans that she saw captive on the ship, he says he doesn’t care about them since she is his mate and not them. Wow, nice guy. 😠

I kept reading, thinking he would eventually show some empathy or some redeeming qualities in order for her to fall for him, but then they started make out and she let him go down on her. Ugh. She was abducted, dropped from a crashing ship, locked in a cell, tossed in a cave, told that she will bear his young, and repeatedly he walked away and left her alone when she said no… and now she’s making out with him?! Girl, have some self respect! He’s an asshole! At least let him go through some redemption arc before you spread your legs!!

Sadly, not even the promise of dual cocks has me wanting to keep reading this one.
