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.

I always start my reviews with ‘I really enjoyed this!’ But it’s just honest lol. Reading about her past sexual abuse was difficult and the resulting ptsd but I love how gentle her mate was to her and I love how their love story progressed and I loved this HEA so much and also the couple of Josie POVs setting up for the next book 😃

This is such a fun series. I'm impressed with the way that Dixon takes what has basically been the same premise and put a fun twist on each of the installment of the series.  Tiffany is a great lead, and I was surprised that Dixon went into the effects that the trauma of their entire abduction experience had on the characters. Salukh was a fine male lead, not my favorite but he was great for her. 

Anyways, I am stoked for Josie and Haedan's story in the next one. I loved the inclusion of her POV at the end.

My fave of the books so far! I feel like I really got to know and understand the main couple more than I have in previous books.

I also feel like it's setting up other characters well through the plot and giving more insight to inter tribe dynamics. 

Also I love gardening and pets and games so I really just enjoyed those parts of the book
