More tentacle than tale!

The Alien Invasion has arrived but all they want to do is join Earth society - they’re fairly humanoid apart from the tentacles. Cameron is intrigued when the alien known as George moves into his apartment block, even more so when George asks him on a date. This alien romance was light and fun, although I didn’t see the BDSM coming! In George’s culture, submissives are highly prized and Cameron is happy to oblige. There were some interesting tentacle scenes, though once the novelty had worn off, I felt like the story didn’t really go anywhere - more tentacle than tale - and the final sentences seemed more suited to the end of a paragraph than the end of the book. I suppose there wasn’t much world building since it was set on current-day Earth, but I would have loved to learn more about George’s culture. I think Lyn Gala’s Claimings series explores very similar things in a more interesting way. While I appreciated audio narrator Bob Brill’s performance and distinctive human versus alien voices, the voice he chose for George grated after a while. Having said all that, I’ll definitely check out the other audios in the series.
