Snows of Aturia

The Darvel Exploratory Systems, Book 3

De: S. J. Sanders

Narrado por: Tess Irondale

All Vanessa Williams wanted for the holidays was to escape the demands of her parents’ social schedules and find a comfortable place to work on her book.

Having the opportunity to do so while enjoying the comforts of a cabin on an alien world seemed like the perfect way to pass the season.

Plans change, however, when her shuttle crashes in the inhospitable mountains and she finds herself waiting out the storm in an alien castle with a male whose burning gold eyes promise forbidden pleasures. Mating with an alien would be the ruin of her career and guarantee that she can never go home, and yet the more time she spends with him, the more she can’t imagine any other future.

Jor’ytal has waited many revolutions to feel the call of the a’talynal, the heartsong between himself and a compatible female. That it has happened so close to the Hashavnal, the Day of Joy, feels like destiny calling. His a’talyna is small and human, and although he dislikes the species who have colonized the southern continent of his world, he cannot help but to feel a need to protect her and desire to care for all her needs.

With the storms keeping her within his estate, it is the perfect opportunity to court his mate, even if he must evade her escort to do so. In mixing the human customs of Solstice with Hashavnal, and a solstice tree that goes terribly wrong, he is on the path to win her heart and not even a human delegation whose very presence can steal her away will deter him.

Great book!

This is the third book in the Darvel Exploratory series and it features a citizen trapped on an alien planet and the Prince of the native people. They will have to face many obstacles in order to become mates. So good and I highly recommend it.

The world building was outstanding. The planet and it's native avian people came to life.

All people and places have their problems. Its a fact that all races ofn people have self confidence issues. The book speaks of a world where a huge corporation was moving in to take full advantage. They used every method possible to subjugate the population. The book underlines how important outside oversight is needed to control corporate activities. Corporate regulations are needed in the oversight of public safety and the public's enjoyment of daily life.
The writing was excellent. The narration was spot on.

I think this Darvely Book is my favorite so far

I read the book when it first came out and I am glad S.J. released it in audiobook. the narrator was very good.

The respect and love

Well written and engaging! I was instantly snared by the plot. I became so invested in the story that it was hard to stop listening!!!

Amazing!

I’ve listened to this audiobook at least half a dozen times. The story, material and narrator are wonderful! I highly recommend anyone into aliens and romance to give this one a try!

Perfection as always

The additional short story a wonderful surprise there's a colossal difference between info dumping and World/character developing Sanders gets it right every time chef's kiss as always my only complaint is it has to end❣️

Couldn’t finish it

I usually like this type of book. This one was too illogical and just plain wired.
