Warriors of Kelon #5
Saving Sara
Sara, abducted from Earth by cruel aliens, is used as a torture slave and left to die.
Solron, a healer of Kelon, is annoyed at being ordered to go on a cleanup mission to check abandoned enemy war bases. When he and the crew discover a small human woman on the brink of death, Solron manages to save her. But the beautiful little human stirs more within him than his need to heal. Under Solron’s care, Sara falls deeply in love with the alien doctor and he claims her for himself. But when confronted by the Xerson who tortured her, Solron demands a fight with him.
Sara knows she has no choice but to let them fight, but will she now lose the man she loves to the curled Xerson, or will justice at last be served?

Not my favorite of the series...the plot just seemed rushed.
I was happy, though, for Salron to finally get a mate. He really deserves it.

This was the kind of book that had me cheering for Salron and Sara as they found each other and bonded without any alpha he man antics or scheming bad guy subplots. It was sweet and emotional and I really enjoyed the couple's journey to become mates.
My only issue is the climatic fight scene. I'm an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth kind of girl so the efficient way it was handled didn't sit well with me.
Also for the price of this book I expected more in the 85 pages than what I got. The overall story just didn't support that price in my own opinion.

Sara es rescatada de los Xersons que la habían dejado abandonada en una estación. Ella estaba casi muerta cuando la encuentra Solron y la lleva a su sala médica. Con muchos cuidados Sara se va recuperando y Solron la ayuda a curar sus heridas emocionales. El amor surge entre los dos y pues pasa lo que tiene que pasar: happily ever after.
***
Es un poquito diferente a las demás. Su trama es un poco simple pero igual hace que Sara sea una buena protagonista. Solron es muy tierno, desde las historias anteriores había demostrado su valentía e inteligencia, que aquí sobre pasó cuando se enfrentó al Xersons en batalla.
Sara es una boba en hacerlos ir hasta la tierra para después decir que no. Muchacha, ¿No pensaste en el tiempo y la gasolina o lo que sea que utilicen de gasolina? Pero bueno, como es ficción me quedaré callada.
No me generó tanto sentimientos como las otras.
Calificación: 3,8

It was ok. The only good bit is finding Sara, Solron caring for her & Solron shocking everyone when he easily defeats the Xerson 'Chancellor'.
Sara's sister is a BITCH, blaming her for getting kidnapped & then for their parents death. Maybe it was THEM who drove their parents to their deaths not Sara. And then there was that colonel, it was so obvious he doesn't care about her well-being, & no doubt Eve gave them permission to experiment on her. HER OWN SISTER!!! I hope Eve & Sara's other sisters die a horrible death like they deserve.

This book is what it is and that is an alien story with explicit sex. The h drove me crazy during the first half of the story as she was very meek (although abuse can have that result). She was much stronger at the end of the story and I did enjoy the story. I listened to the audio book which was a detriment as the h's voice seemed to be an over the top Australian accent. The sex... I mean romantic scenes 😉 were explicit but did not overwhelm the story.

I loved the characters, the story, and of course the setting. Loved the narrator too.

I'm glad Solron finally got his mate. I just wish I knew if they were able to have children.

This is straight up fun alien smut.

Enfin !! Après un 4ème tome assez décevant, j'ai enfin eu ce que j'attends depuis que j'ai commencé de lire cette saga : l'histoire de Solron ! Je me suis tout de suite attachée à ce docteur Kelon qui est vraiment une bonne pâte et chez qui on décelle un bon sens de l'humour. On se retrouve cette fois-ci avec une nouvelle bien plus sérieuse que les précédentes, la guerre et ses aboutissements bien plus décrits, mis en avant et au final intéressant.
Solron est un Kelon quelque peu différent des autres qui ont été les protagonistes jusqu'à maintenant. En effet, même pour les siens il est considéré comme plus petit et frêle, étant un guérisseur, il ne sait pas combattre ou tout du moins aussi bien que les autres. Mais il se rattrape avec sa très grande loyauté et intelligence, choses sur lesquelles comptent ses proches. Il faut aussi preuve d'une grande tolérance et surtout de douceur envers tout le monde, ce qui ne l'empêche pas d'avoir des sautes d'humeur et est être un véritable alpha avec son âme-sœur.
Sara est une jeune femme qui a tout perdu, qui a été totalement brisée pendant sa captivité. Elle a été torturée non-stop et la seule raison qui a empêché son viol, est le fait qu'elle ne peut pas avoir d'enfants. Et pourtant, sous son apparence fragile, son corps meurtri et les divers traumatismes qui lui reste, elle se reconstruit peu à peu et se forge un esprit en acier trempé. C'est une personne courageuse, maligne et qui est prête à faire des sacrifices. Elle aura du mal à se faire à sa nouvelle vie avec les aliens, mais les choses actuelles ne lui laisseront pas réellement le choix.
L'intrigue tourne principalement autour de la reconstruction de Sara, bien que physiquement sauve, il y a encore du boulot pour qu'elle n'ait plus peur des hommes et refasse confiance à quelqu'un. En parallèle, on suit l'évolution de la guerre qui oppose les Xerxon aux Kelon. Sara et Solron, surtout leur couple est, au cœur de l'avenir d'un traité de paix entre ces deux races d'aliens. La romance est bien évidemment ultra-présente, peut-être moins érotique que les précédentes à cause de la torture. L'auteure est plus sérieuse ici, l'amour, l'amitié et la famille sont des thèmes centraux et bien développés.
C'est toujours aussi léger et agréable à lire, on rigole mais cette fois c'est voulu, la répartie du docteur est juste excellente, sans oublier certaines réactions de l'humaine. On voit bien que la série prend un virage plus sérieux cette fois et qu'un tournant est en marche, mais d'un autre côté je ne vois plus ce qui peut-être fait en plus maintenant. Plus intéressant que les précédent, je pense que cette fois-ci cette nouvelle pourra attirée plus de personnes !

I love to indulge myself in sci-fi erotic romance on occasion and Angela Castle is one of my go to gals. Saving Sara is book five in the Warriors of Kelon series and packs a much more emotional punch than the previous installments.
After being abducted and tortured by a sadistic race of aliens Sara is left for dead when they abandon their base.
Solron manages to bring her body back to life, but her mind is shattered. As a dedicated healer he feels helpless. Through companionship and kind words Sara begins to recover but they soon discover that their feelings run deeper than the standard doctor/patient relationship. The plot thickens when Sara still feels compelled to go home to earth, not to mention what will happen when Solron meets the nefarious creature that caused Sara so much pain?
Sara and Solron's relationship developed over time, which made it more believable than the standard 'one week' courtship you find so often in romance novels.
There's nothing I love better than a scarred heroine being brought back by a loving hero.My only complaint would be that it just wasn't long enough. It seemed that corners were cut to make things move along quicker. I would have loved to have seen Sara's interactions with her family more, not to mention an epilogue of some sort. But when it comes down to it, I got my sci-fi fix and finished with a smile on my face.
*For those of you worried about non-con, NO worries, Sara's story does NOT include sexual torture.

Sara was abducted from Earth by cruel aliens and tortured and left to die when they abandoned the station prior to Kelon warriors arrival.
Solron, a healer of Kelon, who helped so many human females was sent on a cleanup mission to check abandoned enemy war bases. I loved his character in the previous books and I was waiting for his HEA.
During his search of the station, Solron finds a small human woman, weak and almost dead - Sara.
He manages to save her and bring her back to life. It is a nicely done story of his way of caring for Sara
Under Solron’s care, Sara falls deeply in love with the alien doctor and obviously he found his Corami.
I enjoyed this story and how Solron fought for her even though he was a doctor without military training.
My favorite story out of all Kelron warriors books.

The Warriors of Kelon books are easy-going and entertaining and always have a Happy Ending. Saving Sara is no exception. In this book, the hero, Solron, is a doctor, rather than a warrior. He gets by on his intellect and, of course, his good looks. Lets face it, we like to read about good looking males! This book was a quick read - a couple of hours for me. If you want a light filler and enjoyed the other books in this series, pick this one up. You won't be disappointed!

All the books I've read in this series I have loved but this one is my favourite! I loved Solron, an alpha male but caring, loving and fiercely protective as well and Sara suited him perfectly! And Solron proved no matter where you come from and who you are size and strength does not always mean you are the winner!!!

The relationship of Sara and Solron was endearingly sweet. Sara was abused and battered and feared everything but the gentle healer. Through his care she becomes empowered, which is a bit of a switch in this series. Its a sweet story. I very nearly gave this book 4 stars, but its end was quite rushed.

Let's get the formalities out of the way. This isn't a good book. It's not that well written. It's riddled with pointless drama. And I like it. This is actually my favorite story of the series, along with Resisting Rachel. I know I'm nuts. I'm all too well aware of that. But what chicken-soup-for-the-soul tearjerkers do for my friends, this kind of brainless fiction does for me.

Rounding up from 2.5. This has been nice diverting smut. This e-book was a bit more "eh" than the others. The sex not as diverting but was nice to see the healer get his HEA but not sure I'll read further.
October 25, 2012
I have enjoyed this series. I agree it was nice to read about Solron's HEA. Also, I liked that it touched on outer space travel rather than just Kelon, a good change of pace.
July 13, 2013
My absolute favorite book in the series. This book I've read again and again - great "comfort" read when you just want to relax with a great book.
September 10, 2021
Really liked this book. Solron was perfect with Sara and it was nice to see her heal from the experience she had been through.

3.5 Stars

OMG Solron so deserved Sara. He was by far one of my favorite characters, even if he wasn't a warrior but a healer in the end he shows everyone NOT to mess with him or what was his, totally amazing!!
September 25, 2012
Short and sweet.

Nice story. Predictable but lovely read. Adored Selron.
