I don't ask for much from life; I get paid, and then I get laid. And piloting spaceships across the galaxy keeps my solo lifestyle well-funded. I don't need a relationship or any of the baggage that comes with it. I like my men like I like my coffee; to go. That is, until the most boring job in the universe goes horribly wrong and I'm snatched from my ship by a seven-foot alien. He's huge, he's purple, and he's ripped as hell. I'm sure I'm a dead man. Only it turns out he doesn't want to kill me. What he wants is far worse.

Good
I enjoyed it, although Julian's secret went on a bit long. There got to be a point where I just wanted him to tell his mentor, but of course, they dragged it out to the very end. There is a certain Harry Potter feel to the whole story in hindsight which I did not notice at the beginning. There are complaints on Amazon that the story is totally AI Generated. I can't say for sure, but some parts felt disjointed and not consistent.
