His stilted formal compliments to her are surprisingly endearing, and in the end you realize that he really is just the best sort of Ant Man there is, and the rest are total asshats. Perpetual second fiddle to his uber-jerk of a brother, his burgeoning appreciation and attraction for his human mate turn this cinnamon roll beta into an "I'll burn the world down for you and it will be worth it" alpha. But I suppose the premise of the entire book is driven by the h's readiness to take on unappealing challenges, and tackle them with determination, and an exceptional ability to adapt, improvise, and think outside the box.Īs for the H.he's a bit of a underdog, not a prized specimen on his own planet due to, best I can tell, the simple fact that he's not very colorful. I mean, he had CLAWS that he could do little more than delicately touch her hair with.

Our enterprising heroine even figures out how to get her rocks off (and his!) with a lover who not only doesn't even possess a, um, "protuberance", but in fact has four, uh, "sex POCKETS" of some sort that basically involve her having to find his G spot(s) and figure out how to manipulate them digitally in order to bring him to.completion. this book is so cute, sweet, and cozy!! An easy read, it's a surprisingly warm snuggly alien romance, especially given the fact that the alien in question seems to have an exoskeleton that makes titillating physical contact between the H and h near impossible. Melody: The L Word: Generation Q, chia seeds in your brown rice, and peanut butter cookies with chopped up peanut m&ms.If you're looking for elaborate world building, complicated intergalactic politics, and literally "out of this world" penises, this is not the book for you.īut I enjoyed this book! Don't let the Predator-esque cover fool you. Hey HBs! We're here with Melody's new obsession STRANGE LOVE by Ann Aguirre! An alien romance with a talking dog! Effortless inclusivity! A pairing competition that's as if Gladiator had a baby with Love Island! Consent boners abound! Please, please take this 2 part breakdown as the gift it is and read this book!!īonus content: Melody gives Erin bad compliments and herself a haircut, a listener story about accidentally sharing Heaving Bosoms with a pink-haired goddess in a fast food drive through!, Chitin? is that "kitten?" is that "chitten?"
