5⭐️ 2🌶️
MOOD: lighthearted, mysterious, adventurous
TROPES: kidnapping, fated mates
GENRES: sci-fi romance, monster romance
FAV QUOTE: "I will keep you safe, always. That is my promise as a male, your male. Understand?"
MAIN CHARACTERS: Caitlyn (Human Scientist/Healer) and Kalzudaud aka Kal (Tarkan King)
This is a quick entertaining read. It's got sci-fi, mystery, and fantasy elements coupled with some instalust and fated mated - and don't forget about the kidnapping. Caitlyn is possibly the unluckiest (and also luckiest) human in the Zeta Quadrant as she gets abducted not once but twice. Kal tries to find the balance between carrying out his mission to save his kingdom - which involves kidnapping Caitlyn - and growing this new mate bond.
This story has a good mix of A and B plots and a few steamy scenes thrown in.
CW: violence, kidnapping
