My first audio SFR book

Honestly, I struggled at first with the female narrator.
The story however is excellent. I just had a different voice in my head after reading the book. I'll be reading the rest of this series though. Very well written.

The story is better than the cover suggests

I saw a review that said this story was too one sided and to some degree it does focus on the female lead. However if you are a fan of aliens arrive on an earth with a collapsing economic and social structure, I have a story for you. This one presents with multiple culture differences that the female lead and male lead have to work together on. They both have their own flaws and triggers. It sets up a nice introduction to a potentially unique series. It’s worth giving a chance. The sexy time scenes are a bit tame, but the story is pretty solid.

Refreshing

I have read the entire serious so far really enjoying them all. Hopefully there will be more.

Thouroughly entertaining!

This audiobook story was a little different than most in that the heroine lives in a desolate Earth which has lost all governance and most of its technology. She works as a forestry worker, living alone in a cave home and planting trees. One day she’s assaulted by a gang of low life human men and is rescued by a strange alien being. She runs back home, but he follows her and she hits him over the head with a club and ties him up to a wall. The story of the relationship between these two people from very different ways of living and thinking is unique and enjoyable. They each have to learn to give in their interactions, but when she’s bluntly told what their plans are for the future, she’s freaked out and heartbroken. Add in a crazy ex who runs the gangs of raiders and some battles to rescue her and it’s entertaining! Narration was well done.

A fantastic experience!

I loved the experience of listening to this story. I felt as if it all played out in front of my eyes. I could actually visualize the story.

Overall a very enjoyable experience.
