1st read:
I think it's safe to say that it's rare for me to rate an Alien romance book 5 stars. For the most part I enjoy them, however I've not found very many that I want to rave about when I finish. This one is the exception.

I absolutely loved this book. I'm having a really hard time not rushing to Amazon to buy all this authors books. If the rest of her books are anything like this one, I will be reading them all. The reason I loved this book so much was a combination of both the hero and heroine.

My favorite type of heroes are the big, strong, dominant, protective and scary men. He is all of these things. Arokan is the king of his horde. He's rough around the edges but very protective of Luna. Even when Luna fought back with him at first, he treated her with care.

Arokan's character would have been enough for me to love this book but I can honestly say the heroine was just as good. Luna was a strong woman. She did fight against Arokan at first but she was also sensible. She knew when to fight and when not to fight. That is so important in a heroine in this type of book. I genuinely liked her character.

I grabbed this book up because someone recommended it and said it was like Kristen Ashley's Golden Dynasty. It does have that vibe but I still think this felt like it's own story. I'm looking forward to more in the series.

2nd read: I did a re-read through audible. The narrator was really good and made this an enjoyable re-read.

Thank you, Wendy! ❤️


Sarah This was an excellent book. Certainly check out her others but don't feel unduly pressured - this book was her best yet, stretching her writing chops much farther than ever before.

Thanks Sarah! I’m definitely going to check out her other books. 🙂


Laura If anyone knows any similar storylines let me know...

Try Pathfinder's Way (The Broken Lands, #1) by T.A. White . It’s a trilogy and the first book takes awhile for the couple to actually be together but it’s worth the wait.

I just read the 3rd book last week and loved it! I hope you do too!


Tania Sharp Great review. Yes I totally agree. I may give audible a listen as well. Thanks!


theannoyedacademia Your review is similar to how I felt about Luna as well. I loved her character. She was actually smart didn’t act like an airhead and actually gave the hero a challenge. She was reasonable while still being sassy and that is something I’m finding is rare in romance books sometimes. The main character will either be such an airhead and meek and I can’t even take them seriously or they’ll be too sassy and unreasonable that they become annoying.

Sorry, I never saw this comment. I hope you enjoyed the audiobook!

I completely agree. It’s why I usually focus more on the hero. When I do find a good heroine, it’s icing on the cake.
