Imprisoned with the Alien (Roh'ilian Warrior Series Book 3) by Luna Kingsley

4 Stars

The writing and editing of this novel was fairly clean in the ARC version of the manuscript, with only occasional typos. The world building was minimal, though this is the third or fourth book in this series, so that could explain some of the lack of world building. The characterization was okay, with these characters being sympathetic if not exactly complex. The development of the romantic relationship was the best part of this novel, with the hero letting the heroine adjust before he really started courting her in earnest. I found the slower progression really sweet. The plot and pacing was exciting, with me turning pages quickly to find out what was going to happen next. There was surprisingly little angst, considering the heroine's history, and very high stakes, which I tend to prefer in my romance novels. This story used the Partner in Trouble trope. The world building was three stars. The plot and pacing were four stars. The characterization was three stars and the development of the romantic relationship was four stars. I rounded up and gave this novel a combined rating of four stars. This novel ends on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who would enjoy a sci-fi romance that does not use the Fated Mates trope or the Mail-Order Bride trope. I will probably read the next novel in this series, though I do not think I will buy myself a keeper copy.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
