Calamity by Constance Fay
Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.
Okay so I really tried to enjoy this but there are just too many minor issues that keep adding up and now it just feels like a slog to get through.
The insta-lust just never works for me and while the horny thoughts from our FMC are meant to be funny, it just isn't my thing.
There is also a really weird ratio of romance to sci fi plot line and, for me, in order for it to work we needed to pick one to put more focus on. I actually think the plot is really interesting and could have made for a great Sci Fi with romantic subplot. But for this to be marketed as Romance, the actual relationship development really took a back seat.
Anyways. It's too bad. I really thought this would work for me.
