I struggled with this book. Yes, this is the first book out of the series that I read but it was very easy to grasp what went down in the first book. First of all it felt very similar to Ice Planet Barbarians only with aliens that "shift" rather than are blue and models rather than random women. The main female character is traumatized and suffering from over the top PTSD of "monsters" back home to a point of mental regression. As someone who has dealt with her own monsters, I found this character difficult to connect to and enjoy the story.

The Queen of Monsters was the first book in this series that I read, but the story held enough clues of the first book that I didn't feel lost in the world-building. The protagonist, Natalia, is one of a group of women from Earth who were kidnapped by aliens. The Tarrassians were another group of aliens who rescued them, and keep doing so by the looks of it.

This is a HEA romance with deep themes and a love triangle. Natalia knows who she loves all along, but the boys make it complicated for a lot of the book. I like how the character developed and the relationship helped make her stronger. Overall, a good read.

This was a NetGalley review.

Thank you to netgalley and the author and publisher for allowing me access to the eARC of this book in exchange for a review.

Apologies for the late review life has been hectic.

this was hot. steamy and sexy. i loved the main female she was badass the connection between the main female and the male lead was beautiful spicy and I loved this book with all my heart so I will be reading more books in this series. honestly, I have no words for how much I enjoyed this.

First and foremost, thank you to the publisher, the Author and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in place of an honest review.

This book was really good for sure 18+ as it has erotic scenes. I loved the character building and the uniqueness of the story! Natalia is a really great character and I love the build and suspense of the love triangle between characters that wanted each other and didn't want each other. The back and forth always makes for such a good story when it comes to romance.

Including the Sphinx who you really fall in love with and feel for. I love fantasy and it always makes for better erotic stories! I love the twists and turns and things that pop up that you never expect now im ready for the next!

This is my first Aliens romance and I have to say I'm impressed. I would absolutely read the next book in this series.

Ideally, I would dislike Natalie and her personality but I adored her honesty about herself. I appreciate that.
This story had many facets and personal discoveries.

All in all, I enjoyed it.

A very good weekend read! I loved the heroine and her grit and strength her love story with her hero was very fun and engaging to read.

Could not read or finish due to extenuating circumstances. I have created a book identity for it on Goodreads though, so it should now at least be visible to other realtors who are interested in reading it.
