"<strong>Character growth sweet and fun</strong><br/><br/>3.75 star. <br/><br/>Tiffany surprised me with this one. Mostly with this genre the author always dives right in to the nasty bits. Rarely do you get a backstory or any type of depth from the characters. And world building I mean come on I shouldn't be so thrilled over trival things but it is so rare with smutt to be honest. It was nice to actually look forward to their meeting instead of having it thrown upon you in the first chapter. Also this is the first time I've seen the females of a species be the dominant one. I quite enjoyed that aspect and I appreciate an author who steps outside the social norms.<br/><br/>I'm always very skeptical about the Alien/human romance genre which by the way is one of my favorites. Just last week I calculated the percentage of how many I have read vs how many I actually liked. Obviously my like list was extremely low so I kept waiting to dislike this story. Then I noticed a lot of the normal boring tropes wasn't included which made this even more enjoyable....well except for the huge...haha well I don't want to spoil anything.<br/><br/>Back to character depth and analysis. We start with Ketahn who is somewhat of an enigma. He is very caring and strong but won't give up his happiness for the clan. So he is also quite selfish though as much as Ketahn has been thru it's difficult to fault him for it. Ivy has been thru much as well, both being outsiders. But she is capable and fun to read about. Ivy's high pitched scream when she first saw Ketahn might have been the best part of the book. <br/><br/>The character arcs were beautiful as well. Mostly Ivy who starts off small and begins to blossom in Ketahn's presence. Ketahn went from weaver to warrior back to weaver not understanding he could be both. So there was much chemistry here and the slow burn made it very sweet. The learning of one anothers languages is always heartwarming to me and in the instance hilarious. <br/><br/>Now all that aside what the hell is with the puss word? *sigh* Is it just me or is that the biggest turn off while reading. Also beware cliffhanger ahead."

"Fantastic 'world building', not just mindless ****!"

"this book is trying too hard to be something it’s not, it’s incredibly wordy with the worst amount of useless and unnecessary details. it was a miserable book to read, i came for the monster **** and i barely stuck around for it "

"This is one of those books that you just don’t tell anybody you’ve read. It follows along a budding romance between a girl and an alien spider man (and I’m not talking about Tom Holland.) This is a literal humanoid spider. Though I have a fear of large spiders and would sooner burn my house down than cohabit with one, I had no issues reading this book. In fact, I found myself wanting my own spider man to love XD"

"Tension: 🔥🔥🔥 Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 🌶 Tension is hot and the spice is really good even though it remains relatively vanilla. Very primal."

"Really interesting world. I wish we could have learned more about their lore and their civilization. This is probably one of the most similar books I've read to Cottonwood and The Last Hour of Ghann by R Lee Smith. I've been looking for setting similar for AGES and this really worked for me."
