Married to the Alien Rogue: 💙 “I couldn’t imagine loving you more, and yet I do. Every day.”
~
Sofie is a mining engineer and a metallurgist. Taken from ARK 1 before the ship was rescued by the Zaarn and the human women, she’s now owned as a pet by a Tula senator. Sofie is such a strong, brave and resilient woman. Even more, she’s caring, compassionate, feisty and incredibly smart. I loved her so, so much!

And then, there’s Raxnor! The huge, strong infiltration expert is one magnificent male! At first, he might appear stoic, growly and grumpy, but there is so much more to him than meets the eye. Raxnor’s gruff exterior hides a heart of sweetness and gentleness, but almost no one in his life has looked at him with care and he finds it hard to express his feelings. Nevertheless, the quiet Zaarn warrior is a patient, thoughtful, caring and fiercely protective male who deserves all the love in the Universe. And I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Sofie and Raxnor! Raxnor and his friend Tark are on a mission to find the missing females from ARK 1 when intel sends them to the Tula home planet - Tularia, where Raxnor embarks on a dangerous journey to find and rescue the human woman. Imagine his surprise when his kron turns purple and starts vibrating the moment he sees her. I adored Sofie and Raxnor together! From the moment they met, their attraction was strong and their chemistry was fantastic. I adored Raxnor for all the ways he took care of and protected Sofie while they were running through jungles and mountains, trying to escape the Tula guards. And he was right by her side when she had to face her captors once again. Even more, I loved Sofie for showing the huge growly warrior that he was more than worthy of care, love and affection. Yet, it took some time for Raxnor to learn to be more open, to communicate better and express his feelings. And when they couldn't resist the undeniable need for one another, the passionate moments they shared were off-the-charts hot! Oh, those Zaarn males make me melt every time with their delicious possessiveness, filthy mouths and naughty tails! Raxnor and Sofie were so perfect for each other and, after everything they went through, they more than deserved to find happiness and love together.

In addition, the storyline was spectacular! Not only did we get another fierce, sassy and honest to a fault alien pet - Luna, but also… DRAGONS! And I adored Tark! That warrior is the best wingman (...wingZaarn?!) ever! Even more, we get to go on another daring mission to a Tula mining facility in search for more information about the zurilium that can be used against the Grug. And new alliances might be formed, too. With everything happening, I was glued to the pages till the very end.

Overall, the story is another outstanding addition to the series! It’s filled with danger, adventure, action, suspense, humor, drama, twists, scorching hot passion and magnificent characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every single page of it!

Bonded to the Alien Rogue: 💙 “You are the treasure I never thought to find, my soul’s breath. You’re more precious than all the riches in the universe.”

Ella is absolutely amazing and I adored her so, so much! She’s one brave, strong, resourceful and resilient woman. Even more, I loved that she was willing to face any hardships thrown her way and never backed down from challenges. And she’s quite the skilled mechanic. But Ella’s past has made her feel insecure about her appearance and she's built high walls around her heart. However, underneath all her scowls and grunts, is a caring and compassionate woman with a huge heart. The gorgeous, tall and muscular lady might be a bit of a grump, but one huge, horned and blue ray of sunshine is about to change all of that.

Tark is a brilliant engineer and a spectacular male, who I couldn’t help but absolutely adore! Like all Zaarn males, he’s one huge, strong, honorable, fiercely protective and skilled warrior. And he’s also patient, considerate, supportive and so, so sweet. Even more, his golden retriever energy made him utterly irresistible. Tark’s heart is huge and he truly cherishes everyone in his life, especially after growing up in an orphanage. And he has so much love to give. And no one is more perfect for all that love than his fated mate, but she’s a bit on the grumpy side. Luckily, Tark speaks fluent grump.

I absolutely adored everything that happened between Ella and Tark! Tark is on an important mission when he receives intel that another human female is nearby. So, he eagerly jumps to her rescue. And discovers she’s his fated one. From the moment Ella and Tark met, their attraction was strong and their chemistry was fantastic. But, Ella, being hurt in the past, was so hesitant to open her heart to these new feelings. Nevertheless, Tark is not a male who easily gives up... I just adored those two! They were opposites and, yet, fit so well together. Even more, they were such an awesome team and I loved how easily they worked together. I loved every moment they spent in each other’s company. Even more, I adored Tark’s determination to replace Ella’s bad memories with new, better ones. And he did it so wonderfully! And when both couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another anymore, the passionate moments they shared were so hot and I couldn’t get enough of all the naughty delight! Tark and Ella were so perfect for each other and more than deserved to find happiness, acceptance and love together!

In addition, the storyline was phenomenal! I loved that we got to visit a Sjisji space station and see all the beauty it got to offer. Giant butterflies, people! Even more, our awesome team of Zaarn and humans is going on another highly dangerous but incredibly important mission in the Abyss. With everything happening and the unexpected turns of events, I was glued to the pages till the very end. And, last, but not least, Neenee completely won my heart being such a curious, eager to help and absolutely adorable puppy!

Overall, the story is another outstanding addition to the series! It’s filled with adventure, danger, action, suspense, twists, humor, smoking-hot passion and remarkable characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every single page of it!

Mated to the Alien Rogue: 💙 “I have never been prouder to have you for my fated mate.”
~
Captain Vivian Lee is an incredible woman! She’s brave, strong, resourceful, smart and resilient. And I loved that she never backed down from challenges and never hesitated to face any danger thrown her way. Even more, I loved her fierceness, protectiveness, dedication and how much she cared for her people. Viv is truly a hellcat and I loved the fiery captain so, so much!

And Captain Wrin is one phenomenal male! The huge and fearsome warrior might look stern and uncompromising, but he has such a huge heart. He’s so strong, honorable, supportive, kind, patient and fiercely protective. Even more, Wrin is a formidable commander who’s willing to do everything in his power to protect his people. And I couldn’t help but adore every single thing about him!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Vivian and Wrin! The Zaarn warriors and their human mates finally found the human captain and she happened to be on the one planet the Exiled were forbidden to return to - Zaar. So, Wrin embarks on a dangerous mission to retrieve her, only to discover that the fiery (and quite stabby) woman is his fated mate. But when the planned escape plan fails, both need to navigate through Zaar and face the consequences of Wrin stepping foot on his home planet. And Wrin will require all his diplomatic skills to win Viv over, because she’s not one to sway easily. I adored those two together! They were an amazing team and fit so well together. I loved that both were headstrong, badass and fierce leaders of their people. And they were so supportive, respectful and understanding of each other. Viv and Wrin were truly a perfect match in every way possible. And all the sparks that flew between them! And the spice! Oh, those two were explosive together and I couldn’t get enough of the knotty, passionate and romantic moments they shared! But becoming mates and proving their mate bond was just the beginning and quite the challenges lay ahead.

In addition, the storyline was incredible! It’s high time for the Grug to be dealt with, but uniting the Zaarn, the Sjisji, the Tula and the Humans is not an easy task. With all the political intrigues, the daring missions and the unexpected turns of events, I was glued to the pages till the very end. Even more, I loved how each of the human women and their mates played a vital part in the final battle. And, of course, there was also the Maximum Good Hunter - he was an absolute star!

Overall, the story is another remarkable addition to the series! It’s filled with danger, non-stop action, suspense, twists, humor, adventure, blazing hot passion and phenomenal characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every single page of it!
