His Virgin Mate (Interstellar Brides: The Virgins, #1)
Grace Goodwin
One look, one touch, and there is no denying the heat...Twenty-one and single, Alexis Lopez hopes her lackluster response to men is a problem she's eager to solve by volunteering for the Interstellar Brides Program. One look at the large, dominant alien who claims she belongs to him sets her body on fire. When he tells her, in explicit detail, how he'll claim her in every way, she is eager to give her mate everything, body and soul.Von of Everis is a ruthless and high ranking Hunter who's spent years fighting in the Hive wars. But his bed, and his life, are empty until Alexis arrives. One look at his innocent little bride and he knows she belongs to him.Simple, right? Nope. The match is challenged by one of the most feared warriors on the planet and stolen kisses and mind-numbing pleasure won't save Von from a deadly duel. But Von is a Hunter, a warrior, a protector, and someone is trying to take what belongs to him. Only him. He will do whatever it takes to protect, save and claim his virgin mate.

DNF ~50% (second Grace Goodwin I've DNFed... seems to be more smut>romance?)
-a lotttt of emphasis on purity culture and virginity, and he's not even a virgin!
-very very sexual-- sometimes is fine, but I have to give a shit about the characters? I feel like I know basically nothing about these two main characters, why should I be rooting for them?
-why all the posturing and persistence from Cosmo? I assume just to later be a third act conflict
-the aliens are not different enough to be interesting. they've bred with humans the past and are not described as being different to humans other than maybe stronger/faster? (never got to a description of his bits, maybe there are differences)
