When love strikes, even the most unusual species feel it. It has no warning or apologies whatsoever. Sunny only has one-night stands with the men she sexually engages. In her world, there are no attachments or further communications. Things change when one of her one-night stands, Freddie, comes in as the new L&C in Ignisar, the ship she works in as a hospitality specialist.

Freddie is loving, caring, understanding, handsome, and has all the outstanding qualities a man can possess. However, a dark past still clouds Sunny's life— the loss of her child. This traumatic past is one she doesn't discuss with anyone. Additionally, Sunny does not date her co-workers, but the attraction between the two is mutual. Will she continue to live a loveless life, or will she breach her moral code for a possibly beautiful relationship?

On a planet inhabited by diverse species and creatures, their relationship is unpredictable. Some species are gigantic, while others are typical humans. For instance, Garran is too tall to fit in Sunny's pod. So, when Garran visits Sunny for relationship advice, the two have to converse while outside.

I enjoyed how the author included same-sex couples to spice up the story. Senator Chahna and her wife, Lena, have a son known as Sai. They cared for him so lovingly that I could feel his happiness while reading the book. Rax and Morgath are twin brothers in charge of security in the ship. They're a hot-tempered duo, nonetheless. I liked when they muttered expletives under their breaths to express discontentment or disgust.

The idea of letter writing in an attempt to be a hopeless romantic was ingenious. "Joshua" expresses his affection for "Phoebe" in well-crafted love letters. Raphael was understanding and mature. He understood Sunny's nature and emotions and even gave her some advice on love affairs. On the contrary, Jess Hardy included tough words and abbreviations I did not comprehend. Even external sources could not work out their meanings. That is the sole thing I did not like.

There's a warple cake that works as an aphrodisiac. Additionally, there is the use of profanity and adult content. Therefore, this book is for a mature audience. I found very few errors. The book is, therefore, professionally edited.

I rate Love in the Time of Wormholes by Jess K Hardy 4 out of 4 stars. Senator Chahna's family is in danger, and the undertakings to uncover the culprits behind the malice made the work even more fascinating. Besides, there are rare species with odd names inhabiting diverse planets. I recommend the installment to lovers of fantasy and unusual romantic novels.

This seems like a highly sexual book. The idea of writing love letters seems a bit too old. Thank you for your very honest review.

It seems interesting to learn how Sunny went from meaningless to deeper relationships and connections with the opposite sex. I love the idea of letters helping in that. Thank you for the review!

Love does transcend principles, beliefs and shortcomings. A bit too much sexual exposure, but this seems like a great book

I'm into such novels, I like the fact that the author involved letter writing, it's cliché but it's a good reminder of how things used to be. Thank you for the great review

Sunny is passionate about meeting the needs of the varied species whose holiday aboard her ship during the day, and avoid attachment when the occasional men meets her needs at night

There is a reason behind every action and reaction. From the review, Sunny has a reason why she is not committed to any relationship. She met Freddie and there might be something that'd change. I think this book would be a good read. Thanks for your review.
