| Jessica McInness is hoping to attract the attention of a Kalquorian clan to help her escape the puritanical clutches of Earth and her looming death sentence there. However, when she attracts the attention of the Royal clan, she may be getting far more than she bargained for. Can the promise of love and more passion than she ever imagined possible survive the threat of war and rebellion?
This book with its unconventional love story had everything I enjoy in a book. The story and the world in it are detailed and leave you wishing you could visit it in person. The men of the Royal clan are a treat to meet and read about. They are arrogant, stubborn, domineering, and fiercely loyal to their land, while showing great caring and loyalty towards Jessica as the story develops. The writing is well done with the men's feelings for Jessica developing without them losing the essence of who they are or coming across as weak. Jessica proves she's a great match for the men despite her fears of the unknown and issues from her past. She keeps them on their toes and stands up for herself while also allowing herself to revel in their dominance at other times. Even the minor characters come to life through the author's writing. The sex scenes are numerous and thoroughly enjoyable. In fact you may want a nice cold drink on hand before you sit down to read, cause some of them will make you down right hot. While the book is set in the same world as the author's previous book Alien Embrace, it is a completely stand alone novel, that I could barely put down. In fact, Jessica's plight keeps you reading for the happy ending you know she deserves and hope she finds in Kalquor.
