Oh Lord. A mess of a storyline. Here is the story in a few paragraphs. *Spoilers (maybe?)*
Jane is a 27 year old who just graduated college with her masters. She is visited by what she thinks is an angel at night, and both of them are head over heels for each other. The angel that visited her is actually an alien from another planet with his brother. They are searching for mates that might be able to save their race by conceiving girls. He is supposed to wipe her mind because she sees his wings, but doesn’t. Later when she sees him without his wings, he pretends that he doesn’t know her, and ignores her completely hoping that she thinks she’s going nuts instead of divulging his secret wings. He decides to sneak into her room again to wipe her memory, but she wakes up. But a fire breaks out, and he has to rescue her. He likes her, but is incredibly annoyed that she has seen him with wings, that he was forced to rescue her, and that the smoke and her weight was very taxing on him. Thankfully her mom is in charge of bringing couples together for earth, or something, and has agreed to let the alien race take a handful of women back to their planet as a trial run. Jane convinces her parents to let her go and become Arnod’s mate after a week or so of seeing him. The alien race is in need of females, and treats their women in ‘extreme’ reverence, so all should be good. Arnod and Jane are paired together, and they get married and go to consummate the marriage, which he apparently gives no regard to his HUGE member, her virginity, and with very little forplay. Within a few days she sees him in the bathroom folding his wings back in and is causing him excruciating pain. She is concerned for him but he shouts at her to leave him alone, and he storms out. She finds out that she does not carry the gene to make females, at the same time that he finds out from his brother, unbeknownst to each other. He storms back in and accuses her of withholding information and lying to him. Apparently his device malfunctioned when he took her DNA and it’s her fault. But she loves him so much and can feel his reluctance to lie to her again through their bond. (A bond that is apparently one way because of his false accusations against her). He tells her that many adolescents kill themselves because the pain of growing wings is so great. His father soon finds out about her not being able to have a girl and demands they break up. He demands that Arnod force her out of his life and across the spaceship, to where they will never see each other again. That way he can find more mates in the chance of having girls. He sort of reluctantly agrees, they do need girls and he can’t say no to his father. He goes to tell her and she gets pissed at this, (obviously) so she leaks the fact that she is pregnant, and his first thought is of finding a surrogate mother that can carry the baby. They get into a huge fight and he storms off. She enlists his brother to take her back to Earth. Jane is sad that she will have to raise the baby by herself, and somehow train it to fly (not to mention get it through the 6-8 months of excruciating and debilitating pain when it grows wings) Arnod catches back up to them and he talks to her saying he didn’t mean it, she says ok we can make this work then and goes back home with him. Nine months later she has a boy and a girl, and Arnod’s father comes and congratulate them and they become a big happy family.
Yep. Narration was good by the guy, but REALLY grating when the female narrator did male voices. I got this series when Audible had a huge discount, so I can’t complain. But if I paid a credit or full price, I would get a refund.
