HTML:"Utterly swoony...an endearing reminder that true love can change the world" ??J. Elle, New York Times bestselling author of Wings of Ebony To save a galactic kingdom from revolution, Kindred mind-pairings were created to ensure each and every person would be seen and heard, no matter how rich or poor... Joy Abara knows her place. A commoner from the lowly planet Hali, she lives a simple life??apart from the notoriety that being Kindred to the nobility's most infamous playboy brings. Duke Felix Hamdi has a plan. He will exasperate his noble family to the point that they agree to let him choose his own future and finally meet his Kindred face-to-face. Then the royal family is assassinated, putting Felix next in line for the throne...and accused of the murders. Someone will stop at nothing until he's dead, which means they'll target Joy, too. Meeting in person for the first time as they steal a spacecraft and flee amid chaos might not be ideal...and neither is crash-landing on the strange backward planet called Earth. But hiding might just be the perfect way to discover the true strength of the Kindred bond and expose a scandal??and a love??that may decide the future of a galaxy.

The characters were fine, but the plot was meandering. From the escape to crashing on Earth, to helping Rashid’s loneliness, to legitimizing Owen’s daddy’s dreams, to Felix’s true upbringing, etc.
Felix and Joy’s time on Earth just felt run-of-the-mill and lackluster, so it dragged a bit although the final third does pick up.
The dialogue could also feel unnatural at times. The author mixed social commentary very well in her debut, but it was very clunky here. I also don't understand why the Earth friends are so sold out for them in a matter of 3 days.
But I really love how music plays such a big part in this author’s works. I would love to hear a full song from her. Wish I could’ve enjoyed this more, but I’ll definitely keep reading from Dow. I like her imagination. The concept of soulmates/Kindreds was interesting. (
