Los términos de servicio tenían cuarenta y siete páginas de largo.
Leí cada una de ellas. Destaqué las cláusulas de salida. Hice tarjetas de memoria. Porque cuando te inscribes en un programa de emparejamiento intergaláctico después de tres compromisos fallidos, haces tu investigación.
¿Mi pareja? Un comandante alienígena de dos metros de altura que me mira como si fuera su salvación o su peor pesadilla. Posiblemente ambas.
Él tiene problemas de compromiso. Yo tengo una tasa de victorias del noventa y cuatro por ciento en los tribunales y cero intenciones de perder este caso.
Solo hay un problema.
Su cola no puede mentir. Cada vez que finge que no me quiere, se envuelve alrededor de mi cintura como si estuviera presentando un contraargumento.
El Comandante Torek piensa que puede ahuyentarme con sus muros y sus advertencias y todo su discurso de «los humanos siempre se van».
Claramente nunca ha conocido a una abogada que ha sido abandonada en el altar. Tres veces.
No huyo. No renuncio. Y definitivamente no pierdo.
Treinta días para probar que me quedo.
Un alienígena gruñón que ya está perdiendo la batalla.
Y una cola que está a punto de delatar todo lo que siente.
Overall, it was a decent book. I am going to give the author another try, and I'm sure as she writes, her talent will grow.
The good: -I liked the storyline and idea. -Zara and Torek have a history of some sort of relationship trauma they have to overcome, which they are able to overcome together. That made their relationship more real to me.
The bad: -It felt rushed. -It almost seemed like the author forgot which POV and personality belonged to the character by midway. -I also struggled with how fast the "connection" was. Zara is very analytical, so it was difficult to believe she fell in love so fast, and first. That being said, Torek is very emotional, so I was able to see his POV and believe his feelings. The downside is, I felt like the author wanted him to be analytical as well, but his character went in the opposite direction. -They didn't really have chemistry. I think because the story was so rushed, the opportunity to add that depth was lost. I see the potential there and that if the author had just added a little more details or back story, it would be more obvious.
I love Zara’s character ..she’s like a lawyer goddess 😎
The way the author wrote Zara is pure genius—she steals every scene with her tablet, meticulous notes, and obsessive organising, tackling everything like she’s arguing a court case. Both Zara and Torek carry emotional trauma, but it’s how Zara handles hers that truly captivates the reader and defines her personality. From the start, she feels a connection to Torek and has 30 days to prove just how invested she is in him. Torek isn’t fully invested in the match because of a traumatic past he blames for his father’s death, and while he may be emotionally stunted, his tail is basically a lie detector, betraying his feelings long before he’s ready to admit them. Awesome short read filled with lawyer sass, some tail play and bonding chemistry..definitely recommend this book
Slightly higher than 4 rating. This was cute and funny. I enjoyed the strong-willed lawyer FMC, Zara. And alien MMC, Torek, had a sensitive side. I liked how Zara's lawyer speech rubbed off on Torek. The tail behaving like it had its own personality was a good touch.
I would have been equally satisfied if the story had ended earlier when the couple formed their intimate bond. I did wish there was a little more kinky tail play...heh. I could tell Torek was really fascinated by Zara, but I wanted clearer reasons why Zara fell for Torek. But their individual backstories were sufficient for me even with the short length of the book. The book wasn't perfect, but I was left in a good mood in the end.
Interesting story. I liked the banter and the thing with the tail was pretty funny. I did wonder about Zara, though- was she leaving her job as a lawyer? Nothing was mentioned about finding work on the alien planet to be a lawyer there. It seemed strange that she was up and leaving her career and everything.
Also, it didn't sound like Earth was that hard to get to. Couldn't she visit her family every so often? And couldn't he come with her?
I loved reading about two people trying to make the arrangement work.
Though the blurb is written in first person pov, the book is in third person limited. But I noticed some head hopping at times.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and am interested in reading the next book.
The plot was ok. Have a lot of potential but need major editing. The writing style changes a lot during the book so that make me think or is a compilation of different files or AI.
loved the premise, the characters, and the witty inner dialog, and the emotional development of the characters. the pacing and sparse world building is what made it a 3 star for me. i still really enjoyed reading it, I just had to suspend disbelief a lot and not think about things too much.
Empecé bastante escéptica y fui gratamente sorprendida!!!! Nunca había leído algo sobre aliens y humanos pero me encantooooo!!! Se lee super rápido, fue muy entretenido, súper recomendable!! Claramente voy por el siguiente!!!
Sinceramente, no pensé que me iba a gustar tanto. Si bien tiene momentos que se repiten lineas o a veces no se entiende bien de quien es el POV, se lee rapido, es super corto, es entretenido, aparece un nuevo mundo interesante. Tiene todo. Lastima que el 2 no esta en Español, sino seguia por él.
