Vulcan: An Alien Scifi Romance

Vulcan is book 3 in the Colony: Holiday series of bite sized stories centered around a colony of intermingling aliens and humans as they get to know one another. The books can be read standalone and in any order. It is written in third person omniscient perspective from both leads' (alternating) point of view. This short was certainly heavier than the last two, though there were still amusing moments. There was definitely an overabundance of sweet. Definitely gave me a sweet tooth. Vulcan is a performer who can create illusions and runs a bar under his name on the Colony. Hestia is a the Colony's librarian who is living a quiet and uneventful life. Her friends insist she get out of her shell and since this happens to be Vulcan's last New Years performance, the two end up in something of a collision course. The ensuing explosion is emotional, amusing, sweet, and a dose of spicy. They find a way to move through their losses together and make a new connection. If you like your aliens talented, your tear ducts wet, and your romance sweet, steamy, and adorable, this is a good little read for you.

This fast read had a romance that was both cute and steamy. I enjoyed reading about Vulcan and Hestia as they helped each other heal from old wounds. The only thing that pulled me out of the story was the 19 day year. I found that a little confusing, especially since there are also months mentioned. And the previous stories in this w gave me the impression that there was more time passing in a year, but maybe that was just my own assumptions. I'll have to read them again and see.

Here is a story of two people who lost everything but find each other. For New Years Eve Hestia goes to the Forge to watch Vulcan dance. Finally after 19 years they meet and fireworks happen. This is a cute short love story with a few surprises. I would recommend this book and series. Each book is a standalone. I received a free book and the views and opinions are my own.
