Lesson: If you want a mate that will do anything to keep you happy and healthy, get abducted by aliens and get dropped on a random planet.
Main Thought: I read this because of the Kindle Booktok Challenge and because @mrsshaholz loved it so much. While I’m not normally into SciFi this was really good and I want to read more books in the series.


Warning: abduction, rape


Georgie was abducted and then due to ship problems she was dropped on a planet. Her capturers, the green aliens, left and she decided to see what was around. While exploring she got stuck in Vektal’s trap and passed out. When she woke up, he was nothing like she was expecting. She was scared, but Vektal only wanted to take care of her. They speak different languages so they had trouble communicating, but eventually they were able to express themselves. Georgie convinces him to go back up the mountain, but he doesn’t understand until he finds one of the girls frozen in the snow. Will Georgie be able to save the other women? Will the women be able to get back to Earth or be stuck on the new planet? Will the green aliens come back to get them?

Lesson: When you see a new doctor, make sure he is the type to become overly protective of you so that he’ll break up with your boyfriend for you.
Main Thought: I wish it was a double POV since there were multiple times where I was wondering what Luke was thinking. There were also some parts that were not concluded by the end of the book. I think Everly was one of my favorite characters and I’m excited to read her story next.


Sophie works at Grind Me, a local coffee shop while she’s finishing college. She has a crush on Luke who stops into the shop once a week for coffee. She decides to go to the school clinic for an exam to get birth control and figures out that Luke is a doctor, and apparently her new doctor. Luke becomes protective of Sophie and finally gives her what she wants, to lose her virginity, after she pushes him enough. Sophie and Luke are from two different worlds. Will Sophie be able to keep up with Luke and his family? Will Luke be able to give Sophie what she needs?

Lesson: Hate sex is the best way to start off a relationship.
Main Thought: I love how the book is bringing awareness to the importance of mental health. I recently binged the Heller Brothers Hockey Series and enjoyed this being from the college perspective instead of the NHL perspective. I’m normally not a fan of slow burn, but I liked the relationship between Ella and Ben.


Warning: suicide, rape


Ella was in love with Brendan and is still dealing with his death and anything that happened with Skylar. She has been partying hard to ignore her feelings. Everything is okay until she ends up on academic probation and her brother finds out about her partying and her reputation. Ben always seems put together and in control. However, Ben does not like Ella and her reputation and Ella does not like how she believes that Ben thinks he is better than everyone else. At a party one night, they are talking and end up going upstairs together, but they are interrupted before anything happens. What will happen as the tension continues to rise?

Lesson: If a guy is too popular and wants girls to leave him alone, you should agree to be his fake girlfriend.
Main Thought: I really enjoyed it and I like the parts of Jacob talking about hockey. I find Skylar’s thoughts and thinking very relatable.

Warning: suicide, rape

Jacob was accused of being part of a gang rape and had to go to a college if he wanted to continue to play hockey. Skylar lost her best friend last year and started writing with SAPAP to help her deal with everything. Skylar is trying to keep her grades up, work, and volunteer. Her friends finally convince her to go to a party one night and she catches Jacob’s attention. Jacob is trying to avoid the attention from the other women and asks Skylar to help him out. Skylar agreed to be Jacob’s fake girlfriend. While it started with them hanging out in public, they started spending more and more time together. While they were going to keep everything platonic, one night one thing leads to another and their relationship becomes deeper. However, Skylar is still trying to deal with her loss and Jacob is dealing with his accusation. What happens when their pasts come out? Will they still be able to count on each other?
