⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. I had a lot of fun discovering this new world and the characters in it through the eyes of our human heroine, Ava.

BLURB

One moment Ava was on a space flight from Earth to aid in the creation of new human colony, and the next she was kidnapped and sold as a slave in an alien market on an alien planet. No one around her even remotely looks familiar or friendly until she meets her new “owner”. Xelan, a Rhonar warrior, is on the planet of Craxon to gather enough evidence to overthrow the greedy slavers that have overrun the planet. Xelan is part of a race that have lost most of their females and the males, including Xelan, are travelling the universe in search of a mate, or suffer dire consequences. The last thing he expected was to find his mate in a human woman.

MY THOUGHTS

Honestly, I didn’t know what to think or expect when I started reading this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The world-building is done really well, and I can clearly imagine what it looks like and how it works. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, I have a lot of questions about the slaver planet and the rebellion, but overall it all comes together nicely.

Xelan is super hot with an immense amount of honour and integrity and Ava quickly fell under his spell. He has to work a bit to convince her about the whole “you’re my fated mate” situation, but the intrepid Ava is a quick study, and she seems to find her feet in no time at all.

It was my first book by this author, and I really enjoyed it.
