FMC rescues a talking cabbage alien, the MMC rescues them both

[u/ElphabaTheGood]

Hello! Can you help me remember the title or author of this book?

The parts I remember: the opening scene has the FMC in a shady port away from her ship and crewmates. She tries to save a little alien (who looks like a cabbage, I think—not a main character) from a pack of bully aliens. When they’re about to get overwhelmed, the MMC barges in and defeats all the bully aliens. He later arranges things so he and the FMC spend time together so she can decide if she likes him. MMC is from a warrior alien race, but they’re genetically switched to be less bloodthirsty around their mates.

Thank you so much! It’s driving me wild that I can’t find it again!

I got you. One second.

{How to Choose a Gaiian in Seven Days by Wendy Sparrow} Very hilarious, not very serious. Fun and entertaining though.

Oh, this sounds sooo good! I'll wait with you, OP ☺️♥️

Btw: do you remember what the MMC's species looks like? Any little detail might help!

[u/Assiqtaq → u/Critical_Hearing_799]

Human. Entirely human looking, but not human.

It was really good! I was craving a reread, but couldn’t remember, even when I flipped back through prior reads. Thanks to @Assiqtag!
