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.

Fave so far

The Publisher’s Summary for this book is pretty good in giving basic story info. Of the series, this is my favorite so far. Excellent Chapter 14 - hot, hot, hot! This book is not a sex fest - at all - but when Lily and Verakko finally come together, you believe in the inevitability of their mating bond.
I’ll take a love story over a murder story any day of the week. Creation vs destruction: this takes no effort at all to choose.
Dexter did ok on the narration.

Two more books on Kindle

Not all books on audible. It's a great series but I wish all 5 books were on here.

Better

I found the characters of this book far more engaging than the 2nd one. That being said I’m really enjoying this series. I kinda wish the overarching story would move forward a bit more but I’m sure it will in time

Lily is not my favorite character.

I enjoyed Verakkos strength in previous books, he lost a bit of his mojo in his own story, Lily is just plain stupid, for someone supposedly outdoorsy and knowledgeable in flora and fauna, she’s pretty stoopid on an alien planet and interactions with a variety of alien people shows her stubborn arrogance.

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.

Mixed feelings but still need book 4

The first book continues to dominate, but I think I liked this one more than the second…though it’s a tough call. This one I just felt like the drama dragged on for too long and it all could have been solved by CLEAR communication. Like why is Lily not asking more questions about things?!?! She’s sooo arrogant. I still enjoyed the book though and am dying for the next one!

2times fast

I was looking forward to this book but it fell short.
Verakko was previously a really strong character but was made weak, insecure, and a big whiner in his story. This book was dual POV so it literally switched from the human (Lily)to the alien pity pot. I had to listen on two times speed.
Narration was great I wish I hadn’t needed to speed it.
Spice 🌶️.5,
Good world building
I’m still continuing with the series because I liked the first two books so much.

Loved all 3 books!!!

I only have one con... the "decision " was drawn out far too long. The book was amazing otherwise . Hoping for another book in this series. Maybe Izzo or Fayo or the demon... anywhere looking forward to more books from this Author.
