Beschreibung

BASH:I dislike people.I despise humans.A cruel mandate from one of my region's rulers has saddled me with a slew of little alien humans: I'm to put them to work.One problem?I run a rock quarry, where humans’ thin skin is a detriment to productivity. Overseeing these humans is like trying to herd yanaks. If I don't burn, beat, or strangle them to death by the day's end, it will be a miracle.ISLA:I can tell the boss likes me, because I'm not dead. Bash is abrasive and acerbic, like some sort of alien love child between Michael Caine and Miss Hannigan. And maybe Ebenezer Scrooge. Bash is a little… anti-human race. But he’s not all bad. Sure, he's a little growly and he sets things on fire when he gets mad, but even villains need a friend. And here? Bash is everybody's villain.Everybody’s but mine.Warning: This book is the slowest of slow burns. It's a 127K story with the personal puzzle parts not snapping together until the last stretch of the book. If you want to sink your teeth into a romance that hits the fireworks level fast, skip on this one. But if you want a sweet slow burn, then this one might be the book for you. (Especially if you love super grouchy heroes with big horns and bigger attitudes.)

Aaaaaaah how good was this book! I feel like we waited a while for a new development in the Stolen by an Alien series but let me tell you, it was worth the wait! It also reminds me I need to reread the entire series when the next book comes out cause I’ve missed this world. Okay so this is the story of Bash. He is a Quarry Master (as per the title of the book) whom is grumpy on a good day. He runs his quarry smoothly. Until the project of creating a human village means he has to deal with weak, easily hurt (physically and emotionally) human women in his quarry because humans want to participate in the making of their village. Which is when he meets Isla. Isla is an over-talkative human woman who comes to work in the quarry and boy do they hit it off. I loved that Isla has a disability. One of her arms is cut above her elbow, it has been from birth and it’s not dealt with as the main point of the book. Like, it’s brought up and we talk about it, I especially loved the conversation about Isla feeling like she has to do more than others to make up for the fact that she only has one arm. But otherwise, this particularity is treated as just this: a particularity, not an issue or something to be fixed which was very nice. The main couple was just awesome to be honest. I loved the idea of a word vomiting heroine because a lot of the time, heroines tend to be more on the overly shy side and talkative (or over talkative-ness) is seen as something bad. I personally relate more to the shy heroine type but it’s refreshing to have a different type of character especially when well executed. And paired with a surly, grumpy alien who dislikes human talking was just pure gold. Bash a great character too, hard on the outside, literal mush on the inside. The story was great, it was a little slow burn, but not overly or anything. And the “drama” was pretty organic. I really loved it.
