Today's BOTD is a science fiction novel with elements of romance and fantasy that follows characters of 2 different alien races. Readers of the genre will find the storyline engaging and the characters well-developed. It's not for me, but I appreciate the review. Thanks! :-)

Definitely not my cup of tea, because I dislike both - storyline and the setting. I believe it would have been quite good if the author simply concentrated on difficulties two people of different origins had to face in such a union, but "love conquers all". Yet no love or passion csn justify crimes Kuaron committed.

A mixture of racial romance and difference even between aliens. The book offers several distinctive elements, and although it is not suitable for me, it will appeal to many. Congrats on BOTD. The review is interesting to read and describes the book in a great way.

Dina and Kuaton's star-crossed love story has made me want to read the book.

Thank you for the great review.

Alien Bonds honors its name, as the plot revolves around intergalactic romance. What stands out for me is how even in settings where galaxies seem too far from each other, prejudice can harm relationships of all kinds.

Post by Runan »

An intergalactic romance novel bound to sweep you off your feet. A union between Wakanrean and Terran is unacceptable. But Dina, who is a Terran, ends up in love with Kuaron, a Wakanrean. They are inseparable during the Shahgunrah phase. Dina conceived, and now they are in troubled waters. How will the couple brave it all? Thankfully, the author provides a glossary for the unique words used by the characters. This makes it easy to read. Splendid review.

This science fiction tale, tinged with romance and fantasy, tackles issues of friendship, family, and conventional values. Given her independence and comfort making her own decisions, Dina's character seems intriguing. However, the fact that she must deal with this predicament before the Wakanreans makes it seem difficult. Congrats on BOTD.

I enjoyed reading the book. The words used really described or gave clear picture on what the individuals were feeling and experiencing. It puts you in the scene and it's like you are there physically

This is a very nicely done review, seemingly focusing on the most important aspects of the story. However, I'm not much for space operas or romances, so I'm not in the right demographic for this one. But I'd like to wish the author much success in finding an appreciative readership.

The most interesting Love stories are the ones where the union isn't acceptable. I want to read this book already. Kudos to theauthor for winning BOTD with this book.

This story has intriguing concept. The premise seems to offer a unique take on a forbidden romance. I honestly enjoy intergalactic-adventure-themed stories. But I'm not into romance. The review recommends this novel to adult readers but advises caution for sensitive readers due to certain topics and explicit content. Thank you for your honest and detailed review.

This romance is set in a fictional word where dominant species mate for life, so it sounds like a mix of romance, sci-fi and intergalactic storytelling! A very peculiar concept! I love books with detailed descriptions and vivid and easy-to-imagine settings, thanks for highlighting that! Great review!

I am very eager to find out whether Dina gives birth to their child or they are harmed by the Wakanreo who are out to revenge as Dina is a Terran and they are not allowed to mingle.

Alien Bonds intricately weaves intergalactic romance with societal complexities, offering vibrant settings, diverse perspectives, and engaging dialogue. Buxton's meticulous attention to detail and seamless storytelling captivate readers, earning it a solid five-star rating. Recommended for adult sci-fi enthusiasts seeking a blend of romance and fantasy, albeit with content warnings for sensitive themes.
