I ended up liking Tiffany way more than I expected. She has so many layers and is so scared but I loved how gently she is loved. 🥹 This was a sweet story.

I really love Salukh and Tiffany. I love how Salukh respects Tiffany's boundaries and doesn't push her like the other unmated hunters do. It really shows that he actually cares about Tiffany as a person and not as some prize he has to win. I really didn't like the way the other unmated hunters treated Tiffany and how violent they become towards each other when they don't receive the reaction from Tiffany they want.

With Salukh it's different. Even before Tiffany let's Salukh know what happened to her to cause her bad reactions around the alien men he never pushed her to be with him, he showed compassion and empathy and understood that Tiffany needed more care. And I like how when he does find out what happened to her he protects her from the other guys.

I also really liked be the way that Tiffany and Salukh finally resonate to each other. I love that they get to choose each other before they even know whether they'll be actual mates.

I really enjoy it when the couples get to choose who they want before the actual resonating happens. I feel like it gives the characters more of a chance to connect and bond. And this book gives us that.

Overall this was a really great book in the series. And another one that I'd recommend looking up the trigger warnings for.

listened to audiobook and the poor voice actors have run out of voices long ago...

i just was personally not interested in this love plot (rape victim working through that to trust someone with intimacy again)
ruby writes sexual violence with such tone-deafness that it makes anything involving that so rough to read.

“I’ve had sex, both willingly and unwillingly” - Tiffany

horrific way to word that.
