Renegade Love by Ann Aguirre

January 16, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I subscribe to Ann Aguirre’s newsletter, so I’ve been getting a few chapters at a time of Renegade Love, the third in her Galactic Love series that started with Strange Love. When I got the final chapters, I realized I had read but not retained about half the book, so I needed to go back and reread the whole thing. Darn. The emotional arc between Yara and Oren is expressly stated in the first chapter. I have a soft spot for redeeming bad guys. I […]

An Alien Fake Dating/Pursued by a Bounty Hunter Romance

Love Code by Ann Aguirre

January 22, 2021 by Emmalita 5 Comments

Ann Aguirre’s Strange Love was one of my favorite reads last year.  Zylar of Kith Balek looked like the Predator from Alien vs Predator, but really he was a cinnamon roll of sweetness.

Helix was kind of an ass in Strange Love, but I was interested to see how an AI was going to become a romantic main character. When Love Code opens, Helix […]

Though Beryl Hadn’t Been to Every Planet, She’d Stand Firm on the Opinion That Most Worlds Could Benefit From Canines

Strange Love by Ann Aguirre

May 6, 2020 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I fell in love with this book before I was through the first chapter. It is the sunshiniest. smooshiest, center of the cinnamon rolliest romance. It’s funny and surprisingly sexy, but mostly it hits on the importance of finding people who value you for yourself. Zylar of Kith Balak has only one more chance to be approved for mating. He thinks he’s going to meet a prospective mate with whom to enter the Choosing competition but something happens to his ship and he lands on […]
