Publisher's summary
Internationally acclaimed, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance, S.E. Smith, brings another action, adventure, and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world!
Destin Parks will do whatever it takes to rebuild the city he calls home, even if it means working with another alien ambassador. Her predecessor left him hesitant to trust the alien diplomats assigned to Chicago's rebuilding, but Destin knows that if he refuses to work with them, he will be replaced, and he won't give them the satisfaction.
Jersula Ikera was assigned to Earth by the Alliance Council. The Council hopes her logical mind and calm demeanor will resolve the upheaval caused by the last ambassador. Jersula has fought hard for her position, and while not pleased with her current assignment to liaise with humans, she will do her best to help rebuild the world its inhabitants have destroyed. What she does not anticipate is her reaction to the hardheaded human male that she has been assigned to work with. His ability to get under her skin and ignite a flame inside her is quite alarming, mystifying, and leaves her questioning her own sanity.
When Jersula uncovers an alien cartel's plans to traffic human women and children, a near fatal attack leaves her unable to trust anyone but Destin, who can't bring himself to trust her in return. Together, Destin and Jersula race to stop the cartel before anyone is taken off-planet, but the traffickers are not the only ones they are fighting against; Waxian and Drethulan forces have targeted Earth.
Can Destin and Jersula stop the traffickers and prevent the deadly forces of the Waxians and Drethulans from destroying the progress they have made? Will the Alliance be able to protect Destin when the enemy discovers his connection to a powerful Alliance family? The battle for Earth has just become personal.

3.75 Stars 🌟
This was a series that I started a couple of years ago (I think) and ran across this addition in my library. I had a little bit of a hard time trying to remember all of the details of the plot, but I remembered that I did like the series, so I decided to keep moving forward in the series.
Truthfully, I DID NOT remember the details, but it was fairly simple to put the pieces together based on the info from the book. I have said it before and I will say it again - S.E. Smith has been such a pleasant surprise as an author. These are crazy "aliens from space" novels, but you can't but help it but to become completely immersed in the plots and in the characters. Each of her books has a great story arc, really likeable characters and scenes that build to a big climax.
Seriously, what more can you ask for?
This book has a complete story arc- we get to meet Destin who is a human fighting for Earth who has gotten a chance to meet some of the other leaders from different planets. He realizes how big the universe is and realizes that they need to be working WITH these partners instead of trying to pretend that they understand all of the ramifications. Anyway, this is Destin and Jersula's story, but there is much more drama going on along with it.
This also has a complete story arc, but sets up lots to come in the future. I guess I'm going to dive back in :)

More action and mystery for the Alliance
Destin finds love and happiness with an alien woman. They help fend off an attack on Razor and Kali, and on Earth from enemies of the Alliance.
Too bad that bad guy Primus got away. Also, there’s still much mystery about the ring, and who’s in the conspiracy; and why Jean Paul and Luc keep sending messages; and what Jarman is doing about Jane?
The main issue that bugs me is the messages to protect Destin - but we never get any specific reason why before the end of this story. Another point dangling out there.
Brenin does a really decent job of narration.

🤩😁 Very much enjoyed this book.
You will not be disappointed. I love the way the story flows from one book and character to another. You get to here about characters from previous book to the one you are on. S. E Smith stills puts all the plots in to keep you while the narrator brings the characters and story to life. I'm on to the next. I can't stop LoL!!!! have to know.

Nice Change
Great to hear about a human male and an alien female. Lots of action in this story. The series is coming together very nicely. The narrator did a fabulous job as usual. In looking at the cover of the next book, I am looking forward to hearing about Edge; he is so handsome, my kind of man!

Good but
This book was my least favorite of this series. The narration was above average and would of been a five star except for the woman’s voices which distracted me.
The plot was good but I felt the battle scenes should have been enlarged upon.

Exciting
I love how this narrator brings the excitement as well as the humor alive.
This story is about a human male finding his alien woman instead of the opposite. Destin is on the Trivator homeworks for Kayley's wedding when he meets Jersula. He attempts to save her from drowning when she really didn't need it as her species can form gills and breathe underwater.
Jersula/Sula is an ambassador. She is attending the wedding too in scope of her ambassadorial duties. She is then assigned earth as her post. She then travels back to Earth with Destin and they form a relationship.
On earth they must work together to stop a slave trafficking ring. They must also stop the Waxians and their allies from trying to destroy earth and take over.
More thrilling things are happening in this part of the series. There is definitely plenty of intrigue to keep you on the edge of your seat!
