My Review
This is my third foray into alien romances and I’m starting to get a handle on the expectations here. Plague to wipe out the women, women and children are a bit of an oddity and super lucrative if you’re not too worried about right and wrong. Super protective and affectionate men. Some kind of otherness to set the aliens apart. I like it.
In book one, Mama and the Alien Warrior, we meet Hrebec, Abigale, her daughter Lucie, and several other women and children that were kidnapped by skin traders. Hrebec’s people suffered a devastating plague that destroyed their female population and efforts to rebuild so far have failed. The High Council is adamant that they cannot breed with anyone outside of their own kind and are thwarting their own efforts to produce children. Hrebec falls for Abigale and her daughter and is delighted at the idea of an instant family. I love how deeply these aliens cherish children. Human, hybrid, cire, they don’t care. In a time where it’s trendy to fuss about our kids, these people can’t even hope to have them and when they find some, they treasure them. I really enjoyed that.
In book 2, A Son for the Alien Warrior, we meet Mariah and Cestov. Mariah is searching for her sister and nephew and stows away aboard an alien vessel that landed exactly a year later in the same place her family disappeared from. Cestov promises to help her find her family while doing some searching of his own. We briefly see Hrebec again but this pair moves on to a different planet before they figure out their happily ever after. We see a little more of how the plague has affected his people and other planets.
Daughter of the Alien Warrior, book 3, really tugged my heart strings. I’m not sure if it was that well written or because, as a parent, I could sympathize so deeply with the main characters. We meet Inzen again, and he volunteers to pick up Jade, possible mother of one of the babies they rescued in book 1. She’s toughened up a lot since her daughter’s disappearance and is willing do to whatever it takes to find her little girl. I found this story to be more emotional than the others and loved it. I also loved that while the characters had their issues to work through, when they made a mistake they owned it. Inzen is so sweet. He lost his family to the plague and when he adopts one of the orphan children he truly appreciates what he has. He hates to see her cry, is so indulgent and just an adorable dad. Jade helps him learn that it’s okay (and good!) to say no sometimes even if it makes their daughter cry.
Book 4, A Family for the Alien Warrior, we meet Wanda and Mganak. She is a librarian who used IVF to get pregnant because she was tired of waiting. He took over The Wanderer and is running a single man salvage operation. The ladies and children are jettisoned in the lifeboat so the Valdeckians can avoid getting caught and Mganak salvages the boat. We learn a little more about the Valdeckians and get to despise them even more for how they treat Kareena. When the Valdeckians return for their goods, The Wanderer takes damage and they have to land on a nearby space station, where we learn a bit more about Mganak’s past. They all come together in a sweet family unit that just makes you happy to see.
Book 5, The Nanny and the Alien Warrior, we meet In this installment, we meet Craxan and Joanna. She was taken and sold as a slave to watch over Lord K’herr’s young daughter. When he is murdered by the competition, and his daughter is hunted so she can legitimize his claim to the throne, they run. Craxan is hired to deliver them safely to Trevelor. He gets them off the planet and is immediately taken with the pair. They represent everything that Cire has lost and that he wishes he had. Their forced proximity quickly leads to a greater understanding of each other and they work to overcome their issues so they can be together, with Saltavi. He takes to the role of pretending to be her father with enthusiasm and her delight is his delight. They are adorable together.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. It had lots of characters to love and root for and your expected villains to get their butts kicked. Heartstrings were pulled, giggles were smothered at midnight so I didn’t wake up my husband, and the endings were quite satisfying.
This series is comprised of stand alone stories with happily ever afters that you can read in any order. There are mentions of other stories but you can readily understand what’s going on in each book on its own. I highly recommend if you’re into sweet romances and happily ever afters.
