This is my Amazon Review (didn't see it here on Goodreads, SHOWING SUPPORT ANYWAYS)
"Two Finger Snaps & A Twirl"
Drank this down like a spiced hard lemonade on a hot summer's day! Solar Black brought the balance of plot, intrigue, and spice. I enjoyed the spin on merging alien romance with the world of a K-Pop Idol. Alien peen represented (for those in the know) and surprise, surprise as a result.
Yes, I recommend reading when you want to escape to another life and place.
NOTE: This is an honest review, even though I have a book in this collection.

Great story!
I really enjoyed this story, and the characters were very entertaining. The chemistry between Kayla and Duraki was smoking hot 🔥! The storyline was very interesting it drew you in and made the reader want to keep reading! I am not a fan of alien romance, but this book was awesome. This is my first book by Solar Black, but I must say she did an awesome job with this book! I recommend this book to my fellow romance readers. You will not be disappointed with this book.

snakes!
Kayla was tired of her adopted family’s shenanigans and tried to forget about them during a Korean adventure. Dukari just wanted to experience Earth’s surface. Can their chance meeting give the both a new chance at life?
This book was simpler than expected, but I enjoyed it. Kayla had snakes in her life well before she met Dukari.
If you like monster-banging, aliens, and secret triads, then this is for you.

🌶️🌶️
I don’t think there was anything inherently wrong with this book. It just was missing… a lot. I understand it wasn’t the first in the series. But it was lacking backstory. There were plot holes. A lot. And the timeline seemed so rushed.
But all that aside. It was cute. Girl meets boy. They fall in love. Something pulls them apart only for something even bigger to bring them together. HEA. We love a good HEA moment.

Short but Sweet
Dukari is more a short story than novel. However, it doesn't waste time getting to the good parts. Super spicy and sexy it's a short adventure in love and passion. I would definitely read more if the author decides to make a series with these characters. You are left wanting more.

A really great read. 🤗
Makes you wonder if the other series are from another planet. This was very good I stayed up to read this in one night it’s 3:38 in the morning, I started at 1 something reading this. It was so good I had to finish it, so I decided to continue reading it until i finished it. Well I’m off to the second one in the series.

Clutching Pearls
My girl went from closed off, wet eyed, and unsure to a woman! Her finally becoming one with her things that make her different is the same way he did! They truly were a mirror needing reflection!

Surprised
You will be unaware until the very end and might have to read the last chapter like I did to understand the true nature of Dukari. This book brought my reading comprehension skills into question. This is a great romance and a top-notch sci-fi.

I loved this book. This was my first time reading an alien love story, but it will not be my last. Almost everybody in Kayla's life was doing her dirty. Her adoptive parents were trash, and they should've never ended up with her in the first place. Her so-called sister got the karma she deserved. Dukari was exactly who she needed. He helped her learn to stand up for herself. The betrayal that Dukari was dealt made me mad. They really played him. I'm glad he ended up with his HEA.

Twin Romance
After reading the space orcs series, I saw that Solar Black had another space/alien romance. This was a nice romance. As a novella it goes quickly but you really get to know the characters & their motivations. Looking forward to reading more in this world.

Interesting?
It was both an interesting and weird short story. The mix of alien, adventure, and K-pop was a lot for this short story. Overall I enjoyed it. I would read more from this author
