About this listen
A spaceship crash survivor, Addie Rye is lucky to be alive. But being stuck on a primitive planet isn’t exactly the epitome of luck.
With no way home, Addie has no choice but learn how to use stone tools and catch her dinner before cooking it, all while attempting to befriend a tribe of wild nomads who inhabit this planet.
His injuries rendering him useless in the eyes of his tribe; embattled Zoark is content to occupy the lowest rung of the social ladder. When Addie ingratiates herself into his tribe, he doesn’t trust her, and goes out of his way to make her feel unwelcome. But soon, he is captivated by her grit and resilience and enchanted by her human spirit. Against his will, his long-dormant protective instincts come to life.
As the tribe moves around this vast alien steppe, tensions mount among its people, augmented by dwindling resources, violent predators, and marauding rivals. Only the strongest will survive, and Zoark needs Addie to keep him going. Knowing the fate of the tribe may one day depend on this man, Addie agrees to his impersonal proposition. But can her human heart remain detached?

Story
I’ve broken free and I’ve also freed the human who was held captive with me. But I don’t know where we are, and I don’t know where my home is. The local wildlife may be smaller than I am, and maybe they don't have fangs near as large as mine, but I’m still terrified. My issues with germs—and my uncompromising avoidance of all the things that I’m afraid of coming into contact with—is going to get me killed in this wilderness. Thankfully, Aurora lets me follow her. Thankfully, she seems to know the way out of this endless and inhospitable woodland and desert biome.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

I signed up for a research mission with five other women. Instead, we crashed on an alien planet with too many dangers to count. Separated from the other women, I’m on my own until a huge alien with color-changing skin and a massive sword gets me out of a bad spot. I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

My name is Alice, and I live in the Bugpocalypse. I survived my first post-apocalyptic winter, and spring is here. That’s bad news! With warm weather comes the endless swarms of deadly bugs. I need to forage for food, but there’s just one little problem. Okay, so “little” isn’t the best word to describe the fierce Xarc’n warrior who is obsessed with me. Kaj’k is freakin’ huge! And his sharp claws, pointy fangs, and massive horns are scary. I reject his gift of food and flowers, but my massively muscled alien hunter doesn’t get the hint.

Victoria's day starts out like any other aboard the transorbital ship, Phoenix. Such is the life of an emergency medicine specialist in the age of "post-discovery". Sure, she had always dreamed of interacting with intelligent extraterrestrial life - the real thing, not those microbes on distant moons. Who wouldn't? She was still happy with her career, however mundane and demanding it might be. That's what it took to run a ship the size of a small city smoothly. Monotony.

I don't know.
I've listened to this book SOOOO many times. I genuinely don't know lol! It just resinates with something inside me. The world building and character development are top. It just seems more real to me. There is no insta love, communication, or understanding. It's gritty and dirty, with realistic emotions from the characters. I would sincerely love to see a continuation of this story. 💜

Mixed feelings but mostly good
I have a few mixed feelings about this book but overall it’s good. The story is unique and the relationship development is complex, takes time, and is believable. And the writing is good, skilled. But there are a few flaws in the telling that I didn’t like. And FYI, this is one of those alien worlds that it’s like going back to the Stone Age rather than outer space.
Pros:
1) The relationship isn’t jump into bed and suddenly in love. Real character and relationship development. Distrust to some trust to friendship to more trust and respect to sex to deep trust to love. Believable.
2) The sex isn’t over the top nor uber-graphic, which is what I prefer, personally.
3) The plot and conflicts are not present in half the other books in this genre - yeah! So the story was unexpected and not predictable.
4) There is a true encounter with another culture and value system. Although the main character disagrees with some of their values, she respects that it is their world and culture. Although she does make headway in two areas she is passionate about (areas that have parallels in our society today if you think about), she doesn’t overtly make changes out of judgement but out of caring for her friends.
5) The story isn’t all about the couple but the woman’s name experiences in an alien culture and her becoming part of a community. Also development and growth of multiple characters.
Cons:
1) I almost didn’t get past the first chapter. Not a spoiler, just a clarification: the women in the city at the beginning are all humans! The men are the all aliens. The women’s language is a human language, and the men’s is the language of that planet. The author is totally unclear about that and it is confusing. I was lost for a big part of the book without that info. They all crashed on the same planet over the years. My problems with this, besides confusion that was highly distracting: With so many crashes on the planet over time, why has Earth not better avoided the problem and why aren’t there more human men? There is explanation for our leading lady’s crew and ship but not the other women’s. Why hasn’t Earth checked on them, if so many?
2) Poor science. How does this planet have no fire and no water? Especially when there is life and moisture can be found in plants? The water had to come from somewhere. (Lack of wells can make sense, but total lack of water???) And even though the people who evolved there haven’t figured out fire, the human women would have out of our knowledge of it and the necessity to cook our meat. And the thing with the metal, the chemistry doesn’t add up. I question the behavior of the two suns, too. And, as a ceramicist, don’t get me started on the flaws with making clay bowls without fire.
So, overall I recommend this book, just be aware of what I wrote about the people in the city at the beginning and push through the beginning in the city. The story makes more sense after that part. But don’t skip it as it is referred to throughout the book. And have a tolerance for the bad science.
Narration was good. No complaints there.
