Konnitch

Sci Fi Alien Romance

By: Julie K. Cohen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Of all the times for his mating heat to strike... right in the middle of an op with a feisty female.

Konnitch
Konnitch needs a decoy for a dangerous op on Earth. The only qualified human is smart, fast, and too independent for her own good. Worse.... she sparks his mating heat. Just having her near drives him crazy, and now he can’t think about anything beyond bedding her. Even though he’s never burned so hot for a female, he won’t be able to hold out for long. When the op goes up in flames, forcing them together longer than he can handle, he will mate her...

Kaci
Kaci needs money, fast. Working for aliens is an act of desperation, but when an alien marshal with red skin, deadly horns, and tribal tattoos on a deliciously muscular chest offers her a deal, she jumps on it. Though she’d rather jump him. The way he looks at her makes her shiver... in a good way, but Kaci has no plans to become his plaything. When he goes into heat, what is she willing to do to complete her end of the deal?

Mine to Protect. Mine to Love.
Konnitch is a steamy Friends to Lovers Romance with a male who believes he’s destined to be alone, and a woman who feels unworthy of love. Prepare for hot romance, raw determination, love, and a lot of twists along the way. This book can be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed as part of the series. Each book in the series ends in a very Happy Ever After.

Well thst was unexpected

Ms. Cohen really gives us some fantastic culture lessons with her aliens and the clash with human culture always shows how similar, while still being different, we all are. And having read some of her other alien series, Konnitch's culture has been the most intriguing to date, not to mention his unique biology #iykyk

Honestly, an insecure FMC annoys me greatly, but when that combines with a combative and oppositional protective mask and the need to prove herself due to her neurodivergence, Kaci was almost unbearably annoying. And the conflict for me was that the other side of her is this confident baddie who doesn't shrink in fear in dangerous situations and can call out injustice and hypocrisy whenever she sees it. But her own accountability and self reflection is so shaky, she had me screaming smh.

Konnitch though was clearly given the patience and self control of a saint so he'd be able to the best partner for his mate when he finally met Kaci. She put him through the emotional wringer with her mood swings and indifference, simply because she couldn't comprehend the concept of love and mating with her limited human beliefs and experience. (The Coalition not allowing women to be educated contributes to some of this, but humans are narrow-minded by nature.) Konnitch had to be battling internally with his biology and mating instincts, while still trying to respect Kaci's autonomy and teach her despite her disbelief of what his culture naturally experiences.

So if you like snarky and sexy banter between two strong-willed characters, who are constantly butting heada but will cut anyone who threatens the other's life, this will be a good read for you.

Ai

It’s a decent story, but the AI voice ruins it. Consistently mid pronounced simple words. It was difficult to continue to the end.

Good one

I enjoyed all your books. Especially the humor you put in them. It did take a little while for them to connect but it turned out great!! I recommend it.
