PUBLISHER’S SYNOPSIS

It’s not in Blair’s nature to just give up. Not when she’s beamed up to a spaceship and then dropped on an alien planet. Not even when she’s in the middle of a forest fire surrounded by dinosaurs. And definitely not when she’s captured by an arrogant alien king. If King Osid thinks he can break her, he’s in for a shock. Blair lives by one motto: If you stay ready, you never have to get ready.

But absolutely nothing could have prepared her for finding out that she’s that arrogant King Osid’s mate.

Despite recent hiccups, the alien researchers are determined to get their breeding program back on track. With that in mind, Blair and Osid are bundled off to the research center for what they’re told is couples counseling. As they face a series of increasingly dangerous challenges, it soon becomes clear the research aliens may have confused an episode of The Bachelor with Survivor. Bonding over their common enemy, and shall we say…encouraged by love darts, Blair and Osid let down their walls (and take off their clothes). When they discover that there are—somehow—even more secret plans in the works, another hilarious, steamy, over-the-top adventure is in store.

REVIEW

I cannot recommend this series enough. Book two is packed full of adventure, spice, and hilarity. Our two morally gray MCs are going through couples therapy that feels more like some kind of wild ass video game than anything that could possibly be constructive. Perhaps it would work with two people having some minor disagreements, but Blair and Osid have LITERALLY 👏TRIED 👏 TO👏 KILL 👏 EACH 👏 OTHER👏!!

But the line between love and hate is thin, right? It might be thin, but it is NOT nonexistent.

I loved reading from their perspective and getting the story from another angle. They are volatile people on their own, but together? EXPLOSIVE. Plus, so much happens in the book that sets us up for at least one more book, though I suspect at least two more. And all I haVe to say is that I AM READY FOR IT, LEMMING!!! BRING IT ON!

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkeley Publishing for the advanced ebook copy in exchange for a fair and honest review!!
