This was just as cute as the previous romances in the series but with more tension in this around Cecilia’s cancer and Rixavox’s loss of his family and brother. The premise is that after Cecilia and the other women abducted from earth are rescued by the Luxirians, Cecilia finds out that her cancer has returned. Fortunately, the Luxirians have more sophisticated treatments than they do on earth and in the course of treatment she meets Rixavox, her fated mate.Â
You can sort of tell that this work precedes the author’s more recent Horde Kings of Dakkar series- it’s more basic even though it’s still incredibly entertaining. I admit I was skeptical the entire time when Rixavox and Cecilia were tight with his former lover who had a million reasons to be bitter. The resolution outlined in the epilogue may be problematic or triggering for some who are dealing with infertility- that’s definitely a content warning to be wary about if that’s you.
