4.5 ⭐️ This one is my absolute favorite so far in the series! I love Lily and Verakko!!!!


Summary:

When Lily is suddenly freed from an alien prison/lab, she refuses to wait for rescuers in case they are just as bad as her last captors. Along with another human named Alex, Lily takes her chances in the alien forest. Luckily, she grew up with survivalist parents, but navigating the exotic terrain isn't easy. Things become even more challenging when Lily and Alex get separated and a wounded alien falls from the sky into her camp. He's rude, grumpy, and sexy as hell. But can she trust him?

Verakko was supposed to liberate the kidnapped humans, then return home to fulfill his obligations. But instead, he gets wounded during the attack and ends up in the middle of the forest face to face with the most intriguing female he's ever met. He decides to help her find her friend and then they'll go their separate ways. But his plan changes when he begins to suspect that Lily is his mate.

Lily doesn't trust easily. Verakko has secrets that threaten to ruin their relationship before it even begins. If these two want their happily ever after, they'll have to fight more than the dangers in the forest to get it.


My Thoughts:

I am obsessed. Seriously, adore this story! Amazing banter, lost in the wilderness trope, and top-notch alien spice.

Lily is a badass and so hilarious! Verakko is a big ball of love. Together they are formidable and sparks fly! The pacing of this story was perfect. I also love how these two grow as individuals and as a couple.

I’m obsessed and can’t wait to start the next book in the series, Tempting Auzed!!!!!


*I've read the series once and listened to the audiobook 3 times now and LOVE it! Stephen Dexter is an amazing narrator!
