Loved by the Alien King

Alien Love Island #3

by Lindsey R. Loucks

On Alien Love Island, the days are hot, but the nights are scorching...

Reality TV has never looked so good, but has it always been so dangerous? This show delivers so much drama, I can't even see straight.

Maybe it's all the day-drinking...that I never got around to. Or the mysterious jungle with its never-ending secrets and flower petals that put me to sleep. Or maybe it's my big, purple alien warrior who practically blinds me with how pretty he is.

He calls me his beautiful star. I call him my hungry caterpillar #2...for reasons.

And I'm pretty sure I've fallen in love with him.

3.5 ⭐️

Book number three and Max secret is out but that’s not the part that actually bothers me. Of course, he lied who wouldn’t lie because you have so much to lose and he was going to tell her regardless of losing her.

I’m just pissed that there has been 2 to 3 times where Nira could even solve mysteries of her past ( I completely understand that it’s traumatic losing a child finding out things about your ex marital life, your own government/employer)

I just wish that she swallowed one of those bullets instead of dodging a whole bunch. I will say it really pissed me off. I will still give this book a 3.5 stars I feel like Max held his weight while Neera kept dropping her.

In number four if she does not eat up all her chiefs at once, I’m gonna get really pissed off. I do not want to go and book 5 with her, knowing what happened in her past, specifically about her daughter, her ex-husband, her employer.

And with Ryan there’s too much that she knows that Nora is actually playing victim too. I completely get the pain, but why are you going to live every day in denial and anger and grief with the action and what’s going on at least know who to write to be angry at. I understand she committed a heinous crime. She’s not excusing the crime, but she was not in control and it’s not her circuit malfunction, it is someone deliberately using her against her will that changes everything.

Lastly, with the fact that he didn’t get a say to be who he was changes everything and I’m not saying, she could’ve handled information all at once, especially at the beginning, she would’ve killed him without knowing anything, so I think it’s to learn the details, even if they touch you .

The story of Earth Space Fleet Captain Nera (h) and King Maxx (H) continues and picks right up where Book 2 (Matched to the Alien King) left off – this is a series that you absolutely have to read each book in order for the next to make sense. Maxx is in Earth Space Fleet custody now that they know his secret, rescue comes from an unlikely source. The dating games with a rousing game of Truth or Dare. Nera learns new information from Rain, but Nera has a secret of her own. Plenty of ultra-hot and steamy action for Nera and Maxx too. Lots more action and adventure with Earth Space Fleet showing up and another big cliffhanger for both Maxx and Nera in this ongoing space opera.

Reality TV alien style continues in book three Loved by the Alien King a fast paced steamy Sci-Fi Romance read that began with a mystery package and has morphed into Maxx King of Xenoxx and feisty human Captain Nera Cotrobin previously having found themselves waking up together on an alien love island as contestants keeping the humor, intrigue, secrets, double dealing, revelations and spice unfailingly leading the reader along on their exciting action-adventure that includes a menagerie of perfectly crafted characters keeping things interesting.
I am throughly enjoying this well written storyline and can begrudgingly overlook those annoying cliffhangers which this book had a flaming bells of a heartbreaking one as a secret truth of Xenoxx’s is finally revealed to Nera and has me falling off that cliffy.
Book four can’t come soon enough!.

Loved By the Alien King, by Lindsey Loucks, is a fantastic sci fi adventure that is book 3 in her Alien Love Island series. This episode picks up right away from book 2, and the action never stops until it breaks for book 4. The storyline is fast-paced and well written, filled with adventure, danger, aliens, Faid, intrigue, subterfuge, politics, romance and hot sex. There is so much happening, you will stay glued to the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The characters are well developed and engaging. Everyone has secrets, emotional trauma and questions. Who really has answers, and do the characters truly want to know? Read on to follow our favorite alien King and Captain as they navigate the crazy reality of Alien Love Island.

Secrets . . .

King Maxx of Xenoxx and human Captain Nera Cotrobin have ended up on this alien TV show as competitors with things getting more dangerous for them all the time. It seems someone wants to literally kill them. The two of them have secrets and Maxx’s secret is revealed at a bad time. Nera has her secrets as well, maybe one is that she is falling in love with Maxx. Will Maxx’s secret split them apart or put them in further danger?

This continues to be an exciting, fast-paced story with excellent character development, terrific world-building, and a great plot to hold the reader’s continuous attention. I really enjoyed reading this book, and am excited for the next installment.

This was a very enjoyable book but my pet hate is cliffhangers and I hadn’t realised this was one when i picked it up. King Maxx of Xenoxx and the Human female Nera Cotrobin are still on he reality game show and are still fighting for there lives by day and struggling at night to find out whats going on and when a secret is revealed will it pull our love birds apart or not. There is danger, action, suspense, intrigue, drama, conspiracy and plenty of spice, mystery package are just a few things that will have the reader flipping the pages but there is a cliffhanger which I hate but I’m looking forward to book 4.

This is a multipart series and I've read the first two (and want to see where book 4 will take things, too). However, if you start with this book, you may find it difficult to understand what is going on. This one picks up from a cliffhanger and leaves things that way as well. I like the snappy dialogue and characters a lot, but if I didn't know the context, I'd probably give this two or three stars, as it doesn't really work as a standalone. Nevertheless, the characters have intriguing back stories, the romance is high octane, and there are several mysteries to be unraveled. Also, some fun jibes at "reality" TV.

Ahh, these two are fantastic. If I could only avoid the cliffhangers then I would be completely happy. Sigh, hey ho! As ever you are taken right back to point when the previous book ended. Maxx is still desparately trying not to lose Nera because of his past. While Nera's own past is presenting her with her own battles to fight. There is so much water under the bridge and so many secrets on both sides. Earth Space Fleet now has it's nose firmly in their businessa and there is more intrigue to come.

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sit back and enjoy more drama, danger and suprises, as Maxx and Nera's time on the Alien Love Island game show continues. Will Pete (the game show host) cause more dramas than they can handle? I loved this addition to Maxx and Nera's story, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next (and getting more answers).

Part of a series and picks up right after book 2. Probably best to read the series in order.

Maxx and Nera are still making their way through Love Island and figuring out everything. There is more danger and secrets. When will happen when secrets are spilled? Can these to get past all of the danger and secrets or will it tear them apart? I really enjoy these two and several of the other characters as well. I can't wait to see what happens next.

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This next installment continues smoothly from where book 2 left off and I have to say that the action never stops. Fast paced and well written, Nera and Maxx deal with danger, adventure, politics, secrets and steamy romance. I love that the author was able to set me on the edge of my seat...and just leave me there ;P Lol! I'm so looking forward to the next book to see how things continue to unfold for this fab couple :D

High adventure, lots of danger, out of this world steam, conspiracy, twist and turns in all different directions; It reminds me of a who done it game where everyone is a suspect. Wonderful characters, original story, cliffhanger, i cant wait to find out what will happen next.

ugh the cliffhanger!

I absolutely love this series, but I cannot move onto the next fast enough! Hoping for a happy ending for these two star crossed lovers even though everything blew up at the end of book 3!

So many loose ends to help tie up! I’m really feeling so heartbroken with our main characters and cannot wait for them to be able to get their truths.

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book picks up where the last left off. Maxx is trying to hide the truth for fear of posing Nera. Nera confronts ghosts of the past. It's fast paced and ends with you wanting more.

Maxx and Nera's story picks up right where the previous book left off. It has a fast pace and a storyline that continues to grow in danger and secrets. I enjoyed the continued world and character development. This has made me excited to read how their story continues in the next book.

I laughed out loud at the rescue mission at the beginning of this book, it was just so much fun, with the most unlikely of rescuers. Nera’s side of the story is so touching, I’m almost dreading her finding out the truth about Maxx. Some heart-rending moments, and some more very hot scenes!

[TheVampireBookworm · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not reviewing it until I read all five stories because it doesn't feel like a novel on its own but just a few chapters of a bigger story. Or like one of those series that used to be published in the newspaper in the 1800s chapter by chapter and later it would actually be printed as a book.

[Mari · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story was somewhat predictable, but I enjoyed it and I like the characters.

[Danielle Brouwer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great 5 star story if you read all the books at once.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the continuing story of Alien Love Island. All three a good read, world and character building are good. I only wish I didn't have to wait so long for the next installment, it doesn't come out for a few months.
