Who Would Like This Book:

If you’re a sucker for steamy, action-packed alien romances with a dash of humor and strong world-building, you’ll find plenty to love with this entry in the Warriors of the Lathar series! Rynn is a swoony (and at times cluelessly adorable) alien assassin, and the fish-out-of-water moments, especially involving Earth customs, are laugh-out-loud funny. Fans of Mina Carter and those who enjoy feisty heroines, powerful alien heroes, and a blend of romance and sci-fi drama will appreciate the lively start and recurring appearances from favorite characters in the series.

Who May Not Like This Book:

Some readers may be frustrated by the uneven pacing and the way key side characters and subplots seem to fizzle out or get pushed aside partway through. If you’re looking for strong continuity or a heroine who keeps her fire throughout, you might be disappointed by Jac’s sudden shift in personality and the lack of resolution around other characters. Romance fans who aren’t into series where each book tees up the next may also want more closure than they’ll get here.

A fun, sexy sci-fi romance with memorable characters and plenty of heat, but expect a few dropped plot threads and a heroine whose spark dims too soon. Great for series fans, but maybe not the best of the bunch.

From The Publisher:

She's a nurse, not a spaceship pilot. And why are aliens so damned hot? Nurse Jac's life is boring. It certainly doesn't include aliens, unless they're on TV. But then the shit hits the fan and she finds herself on an alien ship with her charge frozen into a giant blue ice cube.What's a girl to do? Kiss the hot alien, then knock him out of course. The problem is, she can't drive a car, never mind fly an alien spaceship. Which is a problem when hostile aliens board the ship… Go to earth. Find a woman. Bring her back. Simple. Rynn is an assassin. Normally. Now it seems he's a delivery boy. Sent to earth to retrieve a sick female, he's anticipating an easy trip. If he spends a little time getting to know the local culture… well, that's just a perk of the job. Right?Human females are fascinating, especially Jac, the sick female's nurse. He'd thought the warriors who'd fallen for humans had defective genes. But Jac is something else. Tiny. Delicate. Beautiful. HIS. When an attack puts them in danger, he escapes earth with not one, but two human females in his care. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently… everything.
