About the Author
As a writer of male-male romance, I strive to create stories that are both heartfelt and authentic. It’s important to me to portray the complexities of love and the range of emotions that come with it.
I believe that love is love, regardless of gender, and I aim to celebrate that in my writing.
In my stories, I delve into the characters’ inner thoughts and feelings, exploring the unique journey of each relationship. I strive to create well-rounded characters with their own strengths and flaws, and to show how they complement each other.
I also believe in the power of representation. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know how important it is to see yourself reflected in the media you consume.
My hope is that my stories can provide a sense of validation and empowerment for readers who may not often see themselves represented in mainstream media.
Ultimately, my goal as a writer is to create stories that are both entertaining and meaningful. I want to evoke emotion and spark conversation, while also providing a sense of escapism for readers.
Writing male-male romance is my passion, and I hope to continue sharing my stories with the world for years to come.
Editoral Review
In “That Alien Feeling” by Alessandra Hazard, readers are treated to a delightful romance between two unlikely characters. The author, known for her captivating LGBTQ+ romance novels, delivers another compelling story that touches on themes of love, self-discovery, and acceptance.
The story centers on a young man named Felix who, despite being gay, has only dated women. When he meets his new neighbor, Max, an exotic and mysterious man with a hidden past, Felix can’t help but feel a powerful attraction to him.
As they grow closer, Felix begins to uncover Max’s secrets, and the two embark on a journey of self-discovery as they come to terms with their feelings for each other. Although there are several obstacles in their path, including Max’s past and Felix’s own insecurities, they are determined to make their relationship work.
Hazard’s writing style is gripping, with vivid descriptions that bring the characters and setting to life. Felix is a sympathetic and relatable character, and readers will root for him as he navigates this new world of love and acceptance.
Max, on the other hand, is mysterious and enigmatic, and readers will be drawn to his alluring personality. One of the strengths of the book is the way Hazard tackles important themes such as self-acceptance, LGBTQ+ rights, and overcoming prejudice.
However, some readers may find the pacing of the book a bit slow, with the first half being more focused on character development rather than plot. Overall, “That Alien Feeling” is a beautifully written and compelling romance novel that is sure to resonate with fans of the genre.
Although it may not be for everyone, it is a must-read for anyone looking for a touching and heartwarming love story that explores important themes. Rating: 4/5
