This is a sweet book really easy to read. I read its in a evening I really liked Alex and Baylin and I wanted them together. If you want a easy read this is the book for you. I received this book from net gallery in exchange for a honest review.

3 stars
This was a quick read. It didn't take me long to whip through reading it, and it made for a cozy little afternoon read.

The premise was interesting and definitely the reason I picked it up. Time travel to the future and aliens? It sounded like fun. And it was, as far as it went, though I might have liked to see more of that premise play a major part in the story. Or for there to be a bit more to the story. The plot itself was simple, and neatly wrapped up in novella length.

The characters were likeable enough, though I did find Alex's flustered behavior almost more exasperating than endearing now and then. I wondered if it was really so bad back home that he had nothing he would miss. Baylin was truly likeable too. I honestly would have liked even more insight into his unique conditions and his childhood.

I think for me one of the best things about this was the way the plot element of the major was handled. I liked taking the destined mates trope and raising some questions about it. But again I'd almost like to see more on the topic of the Zarinian culture and how it works. For a novella length, though it was a pleasant enough use of an afternoon and definitely earns a solid three stars.

With a clever premise and good world building, I was pleasantly surprised by this title and enjoyed it.

General view: this is the most weirdest book I've ever read. And I loved it! Before I start, I didn't know it was a novella, also didn't have any idea it would be that hot. This is probably the first book I absolutely can say it's erotic, and I'm kind of astonished I liked it. To me, personally, erotic reading has just one user and it's not about reading it. But damn, this was interesting. There's a lack of deep in basically everything, the characters and the world-building, but that's totally okay since it's a novella, not a full novel - it's just something that slightly bothered me since I did not know it was a novella, but I can't hold it against it, again, it's a novella. I really would like to know more about this whole world, to be honest, it sounded really interesting. The mc is cute and teen-like what I found even cuter. As a girl, it was kind of weird the whole dick talk, it's not like I know how it works from inside a boys head, but not something that bothered me. Also, Connor is hilarious and I really would love to know him more.
There's not too much to talk about it, the blurb (i'm new with this word, not sure if I can just use it all the time so don't hold it against me) says basically everything. It's funny, it's hot - damn hot -, it's cute and it's a light reading. I can't see anything wrong with the book, honestly.

I loved it. Both Alex and Baylin were two lonely souls and it took a little jump in time, only 200 years, for them to find each other and love. Even through there was an instant attraction between them, they didn’t immediately jump into bed. The major was such a douche, his whole attitude was just off putting, yes I know that is probably the way his species is but he could have come off a little warmer and maybe I would have felt sorry for him. I hope there will be a sequel as I want to see the world and what it’s like in the future. Also, Conner needs his HEA.

This novella was just OK for me. The story is simple, lacking development in both characterization and basic sci-fi worldbuilding. (Seriously, in 200 years, nobody comes up with something better than the current standard hospital gown? So sad.) It’s a quick and easy read but not a particularly deep one.

I will give the author props in one area, though. She directly takes on the “fated mates” trope, particularly regarding the alpha male alien who is mated with a human partner in sci-fi romances. Generally, the human partner takes on a secondary role in the relationship, with the alpha male in control. Of course, in true love, no dominant partner would take advantage of that dynamic, right? So, it’s all good if the human doesn’t really have a choice in the matter. That underlying power dynamic is always a bit problematic for me, because it ignores choice and free will for the human and assumes benevolence on the part of the alien. Really, that’s not realistic, and I appreciate the fact that Corett’s story doesn’t rest on that assumption.

A copy of this book was provided through NetGalley for review; all opinions expressed are my own.

Short, sweet and adorable. The blurb kinda gives the story away. Alex unwanted and lonely is accidentally propelled into the future , where he meets two men vying for his affection. Alex, is a little clueless knows what he wants. Baylin is insecure and the Major is a pain. Plenty of little smutty moments. Favourite character was Connor, corrupted by Alex’s bad language. I hope he gets his own story.
