PNR novella starting a new series about Arixxis Fields, a ‘destination’ town that is known for its festivals, and depends on tourists.
⛔️ This is not a dark or heavy series, but it does have some adult language and steamy adult intimate scenes with dominance and submission. There are also a couple of references to the military and war that Brekk served in, but no real details.
I enjoyed the pace of this story and found it to be a very fast read. Maybe it is because of the chemistry between the two, the concept of ‘enamored’ mates, or the length of the story, but it will not contain the slow build up, a lot of back and forth angst between the characters (you gotta have some) or detailed story universe. I fully expect this will come as additional stories are added to the series. Regardless, the character descriptions are marvelous, especially with Brekk and his altered form. Perfect for the theme!
It features a female the emigrated to the planet of Hallion to work in public relations. Isabella’s, aka Bella’s, favorite holiday on Earth was Halloween and she misses it. So she presents the idea to the mayor who approves her idea to do set up a haunted house with all of the profits supporting the children’s hospital.
It begins with the meeting to draft volunteers to help set it up, but it quickly becomes apparent that the name and idea of the holiday doesn’t translate well … there are some very funny scenes involving this 🤣😂🤣
Bella only has two show up to discuss the concept, but then the most handsome man she has ever seen walks in, looking like he is in the wrong place, and definitely in the wrong time. Bella finally finds her tongue and welcomes him in and tries to explain the concept of how it is fun to have others dress up in the scariest costumes and do things to scare them … Bella should have thought about how to explain this more …
Brekk is still recovering from an injury he received while serving his mandatory 10-years in the military. He is going to be living with his sister and her family for the next 2-years to try and adjust to civilian life before he returns to his home planet. Males of his species go through a transformation when they meet their enamored mate (desmoni) and have achieved the age of 30. So they do not date, as that transformation will override any feelings or attachments if they are not their mate.
So what is happening to him? Why is he consumed with Bella? Why does her touch cause such a reaction? She is not his species and he is not of age yet … this isn’t supposed to be possible, right?!
I mention the following for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow. There are a couple of grammatical issues, but nothing difficult to interpret. There is a duplicated word, incorrect punctuation and a missing word. I uploaded my notes to goodreads for anyone interested.
