Publisher's Summary

When Lily is freed from alien captivity, she refuses to wait for rescue - or recapture. She'll take her chances in the forest. Navigating the exotic terrain won't be easy, but it beats the alternative. Then, an enormous alien falls into her camp and makes her question everything. He's rude, grumpy, and annoyingly sexy. Trusting him would be a mistake. And yet...the idea of leaving him behind hurts way more than it should.

Verakko was supposed to liberate the kidnapped humans, then return home to fulfill his obligations. Getting dropped into the forest at the feet of the most confounding female he's ever met was not on the agenda. So, he'll help her, then they'll go their separate ways. That's the plan...until he starts to suspect that Lily is his mate.

She doesn't trust easily. He has secrets and responsibilities he can't avoid forever. Only one thing is clear. If Lily and Verakko want their happily ever after, they'll have to fight more than the dangers of the forest to get it.

Contains mature themes.

Unexplainable

I’m not too sure why I enjoyed the series so much. It’s the typical alien society that does not have enough females. But how the Clecanians have dealt with it is interesting. A whole society wrapped around ensuring the continuation of their race without kidnapping females from earth. Then comes along some bad guys that do it anyway. I especially like the fact that the Clecanian society is matriarchal meaning that in regards to procreation the males don’t have a lot of power. The males normally treat the women as treasures which gives this listener a warm fuzzy feeling. Mr. Dexter’s narration gives it a gentle touch which seems to be very apropos for the Clecanian society.

Cute

All the books so far are good, they are not corny or silly/stupid they are cute, Especially this one. She made the aliens and the humans and how we both came about work.

Painfully Slow

2 Stars because I’ve heard worse. 7.5 long hours of : H: I want her but can’t have her. h: I fancy him but don’t know him well yet. She’s such a limp tease. Had to finish because couldn’t return. Even at 1.5 speed wanted to shoot myself. It’s a hard no. 🤪

Okay

This book was okay; nothing about it stood out; it seemed your basic run of the mill paranormal romance. Stephen did a great job narrating; brought each character to life. If female domination is your thing, you’ll like this book.
