3 stars.

There was a lot of hype about the "Hunt" but we didn't get to see much of it.

Really fast building of the relationship. It's a insta love. There is not a very elaborated plot. I liked that the heroine was badass.

I enjoyed Teeny, the heroine, a great deal. She was smart and feisty. The world building was good in this short story. The romance wasn't very romantic but it was enjoyable.

It was a fun hot quick read! I love sci-fi romances so it was quite alright for these sort of stories. And the description says it all :)
