The alien H smells her blood and that's it, she's his. He takes her off world. She fights him, but he is too strong. His race has no women, H is almost immortal, desperate for h. They bond, and he changes h so she is part alien. His mad King wants her, so the fight is on. It is HEA sort of, but story will continue.......more

The H is Dom, owns BDSM club, and after they become a couple, no discussion about him servicing other submissives, or others at the club. It would have added another dimension to this story. Just felt underdone...more

The H was an incomplete person to me and the h was took offence at every slight. Fortunately they persist and overcome some dangerous situations. The children didn't make things easy for them. Once they had more time together, their relationship improved. Such a prickly couple, overwrought story and for me the pacing wasn't right. ...more

Lots of other characters including a baddie who was really just misunderstood. Overall Ok, not nearly as pleasing to me as the others in this series. ...more

The deal is he must take the man's daughter as his wife. She's tiny, thought to be daft but is actually deaf and ashamed. She loves the h as much as he loves her, so it's a sweet HEA. It's an OTT, old fashioned bodice ripper story, great fun....more

The story pushes boundaries of non-consensual situations. The team of long term friends and colleagues focus on the h, and make an intervention coordinated by the H. They believe they are releasing her from her overly structured life. The H is in love with her, and so that makes it all OK. Sort of….I liked it more than I should. Hey it's fiction. ...more

But her issues are4.5 stars - I liked this much more on my 2nd read. The h lives a constrained life yet when the H sees her, he thinks she's perfect. But her issues are real, she's very uncomfortable with him even as she falls in love with him, and finds she is able to stretch beyond her old habits. I liked both of them; they were real and flawed people. A few plot devices didn't quite fit with me but I liked this book a lot. ...more

The father decides to keep the youngest, his step daughter to manage his house. In reality she is all but a slave, and ridiculously sweet, too perfect. H sees her, wants her and takes her. It's sweetly silly, the h was so innocent, and perfect and the H grunted a lot. I quite liked it for something different....more

It was the catalyst for her to grow up, and see she needed more in her life. He was immature, had no idea about how to make a wife happy. I liked how she negotiated for what she wanted. I really liked how the H courted her so sweetly. ...more

It's a book written in 2 parts with first just OK, the 2nd is great. At first the the h is brash and nervous, she's an American heiress newly engaged. Her fiancé cares more for her money than her, tells her she needs to conform to be accepted socially. An odd twist results in her being married to his brother, the duke. Their story continues with the h now showing her sweet and caring self, and the H is mad about her. Sadly he messes up and I really liked seeing them find their HEA after some mistakes. Great read. ...more
