I hate Galaxy 6781. HATE it!

One last job. The bounty of a lifetime.

It wasn’t supposed to end with me on a slave planet and my entire crew dead. So, when the chance to escape presented itself, I took it. Had I known more about my fellow escapee, I might have reconsidered. When Grantham, crowned prince of Ditali, tried giving me some schpiel about how the universe has chosen us to be together, as in together ‘together’, I shot that theory down stat. I mean, I’m not even into males.

Except…now he says he’s dying. Dying in the sense that because one handsome bounty hunter rejected our so-called ‘fating’, he’s literally wasting away before my eyes. Sad, but what do I care? We’re strangers. The debris field we’re approaching can kiss my backside, right along with my lack of flight skills because as much as I’m not into males, I’m not ready to die. They’d better throw me a parade when we get to his planet. Galaxy 6781, I really, really, really hate you.

A satirical, scifi, MM romance.

Cole is such a little human grump through and through - he makes me laugh, I love it!

Granthome is the best alien dude of all the galaxies.

The grump factor!!

I loved the book when I read it and I don’t think anyone else could have made Cole and Granthum come to life so perfectly! They sounded exactly like I expected and I laughed and smiled through this whole book again!

Sci-Fi fantasticalness

I hesitated with this book, because I am not super in to sci-fi, but it’s Dianna Roman, so I gave it a shot. And man, I am so glad I did. It was sweet, sexy, and hilarious. And I think this is my favorite narration by Alexander Cendese. He nailed it on this one. Great voices and he totally hit the comedic stuff dead on. Don’t wait like I did, go for it!

LOL

So I read this book and loved it but the audio has taken it to the next level for me. There could not have been a more perfect narrator or performance. It had me giggling so much! Well done!

Ohhhhh! My! Gawd!

This story was lighthearted and funny. After being rescued by an alien prince Cole finds himself in a comedic fated mate situation that is hilarious and hot. Grantham’s serious and innocent nature is adorable and the narration was perfect.

Entertaining and fun

This is my first romance novel, so it's also my first Dianna Roman title; I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved it. I don't know how "deep" the author intended the emotional elements to be, but I personally felt the non-farcical relationship dynamics to ring true in a lot of ways, especially the ingrained homophobia and toxic masculinity that Cole spends so much of his story learning to confront. Considering how deftly she weaves the comedic elements with the heavy moments, I suspect this is all extremely intentional and I look forward to listening to more of her books.

There are a few little flaws in the writing and performance, but most of them blend right in with the characters' communication difficulties and in my opinion preserve the overall feeling of spontaneity that I think helps keep the work from taking itself too seriously overall.

Five stars. Definitely recommend.

Just what I needed
