Kira plans on remaining single on this alien planet—she doesn't want a mate. At least, that's what she tells herself. But when Aehako comes along, everything changes. . .

As one of the humans stranded on the ice planet, I should be happy that I have a new home. Human women are treasured here, and one alien in particular has made it clear that he's interested in me.

Better plot than some non-spicy books I have read this year lol.

4 stars

Aehako is the best. That's all.

But also, I really liked Kira. Her fears based on health concerns was legitimate and not falsely added on to try to tack on drama. I laughed so hard many times through this one. The courting gift had me wheezing every time it was brought up.

This was a very sweet story and I really appreciated that Ruby didn't just skip over the details like Harlow's translator that was embedded into her ear. This one lacked on the spice because there was not resonating at the get-go and Aehako actually courted and wooed Kira. I really enjoyed this one.
