| Captain Samantha Dorsey and her crew have been on a Galactic Scavenger Hunt for the past year hoping to win the grand prize. Only one item is left on their list, a primitive wild beast. When Sam and some of her crew get drunk on a strange liquor the resulting adventure bags them a bit more than they’d bargained for! They think they’ve captured a fierce white tiger. But the next morning miserably hung-over Sam finds a very big, very annoyed warrior Prince! Prince Falke was trained from birth to be hardened and merciless in battle. It’s a blow to his ego to have been kidnapped by a tiny drunken female. What’s worse, no one on Qurilixen knows what happened to him and his brothers are sure to suspect foul play. Falke will use his powers of seduction to persuade the beautiful, frustrating Samantha to take him home. But Sam would never keep anyone against their will and Falke finds he’s strangely reluctant to let her fly out of his life forever.
Lords of the Var 3, The Bound Prince was a rollicking good read! I loved the idea of a crazy escapade that starts in seeming disaster only to somehow come out right. The sparks really fly between Falke and Samantha for gripping sexual tension. The snappy dialogue between these two is funny and very sexy. I also liked little touches that foreshadowed these two were fated to be mates. Like the scene where Sam drunkenly relaxes into the fur of the big white tiger. It’s an “awww” moment punctuated by chuckles. The fast moving plot keeps your attention with plenty of twists to keep you in suspense. The camaraderie between Sam and her crew of seeming misfits is in turns touching and hilarious. All are interesting characters and I could see them starring in future adventures. But the love story between Falke and Sam is the delightful centerpiece of the story and it’s super nova hot. Fans of Michelle Pillow and everyone who loves a smart, futuristic romance will enjoy this sexy new installment set on the planet Qurilixen. The Bound Prince is great romantic entertainment.
