Publisher's summary

My one giant step for mankind...ends in a crash landing. Go figure.

When my friends and I are sucked into another galaxy, I'm sure we're about to die. But when I wake up I'm all alone on a desert planet. Or so I think.

Turns out there's a giant, hunky alien warrior right there with me.

Doshax rescues me from the gruesome rodents and lizards hunting us and finds food for me to eat. He even builds me a shelter. I could get used to this!

But I need to find my friends. And figure out how to get home. He needs to find his own squadron. Once he does, we'll go our separate ways.

Just one problem: I don't want to leave Doshax.

His kisses are hot enough to burn me up inside, and when he claims me I could explode with desire. But something is holding Doshax back. He's claimed my body, but I'm determined to have his heart.

How can I convince my alien warrior that I should be his mate?

Different but good!

This was a good alien romance. A bit different than most. In this one, both the alien Hero (Doshax) and the heroine (Olivia) crash landed on a planet called Yazell. The planet was kind of a Bermuda Triangle type planet where a lot of spaceships crashed and weird things happened, like the electronics didn’t work and people just disappeared out of nowhere. I liked it because it was different.

The audiobook was narrated in dual points of view by virtual voice, which is a computer generated narration. It was a male voice which I liked. Since it is a computer, it is a bit stilted, but it was not bad.

Virtual voice is sorely lacking

This is a pretty standard alien romance: girl meets alien, within hours they have sex and they’re mates.
I could have done without Olivia’s constant thoughts about how he’s the best guy ever, so much better than any Earth guy, and so much better in the sack … she must think these things a dozen times in such a short novella.

There’s the beginning of a series arc about the mystery planet on which they find themselves and some of the other MCs for the next installments are introduced. With a human narrator, I might have liked this better and would want to move on.

Unfortunately, the virtual narrator has no emotion, even when voicing her panting “oh please, please!
I need you!” When the alien says Olivia, the virtual voice pronounces it Oh-LIE-Vuh, which is yuck.
The virtual voice fails to alter when her POV is on versus when Dashox’s POV is on. And how is it that a virtual voice has volume issues? The volume abruptly swings up and down throughout.

This is my third novella with virtual voicing. All in all, I can’t say virtual voicing is working for me.
I doubt I’ll be listening to any more unless they are free.
