Cinnamon roll hero, talking dog, accidental alien abduction, and a competition to earn the right to bond with an intended mate.

Adapting to an alien world mixed with the suspense and action of an intense competition.

Pacing was a bit of an issue as the competition and decisions were spread out over the whole book. It felt like they took a very long time to get to.

Overall, this book is great! I recommend it to anyone who likes Ice Planet Barbarians or Regine Abel’s books.
