Deep, Hard, and Rough
Luna Riyan dreams of a life without violence, degradation, and vile sex, a life unlike all that she has ever known. She has been planning to escape when she has enough saved, but when she is told her prized virginity will be sold to the highest bidder, she knows she can't wait any longer. After nearly being killed by the man obsessed with her, she finds herself aboard the spacecraft of three very big, very fearsome warriors.
Erak, Genet, and Raimi are princes in search of females to carry their future heirs. The brothers fear nothing and expect compliance in all things. But things do not turn out quite as they expected. They never thought for a moment that their mate would be the same female, or that she would be a tiny human. They will show her that killing their enemies isn't the only thing they are good at. The only problem is that their mate is traumatized from her past on an ugly planet where prostitution and slavery are rife. She is afraid and reluctant to give them what they want ... to possess her completely.

This story started out strong but, kind of flattened out. So much potential...
Luna a human, small and weak in stature alone wants more than the current life she leads. Through an intense event the course of her life is irrevocably changed. You cheer for her fortitude and strength. But then, the story flattens out.
Throughout the whole story I am waiting for Luna's past to catch up with her and for her men to come to her aid as is their constant reminding of their warrior heritage and need to protect what is theirs stipulates. However, we are doomed to be disappointed as the action stops with Luna and her lone act to free herself. Even the smex feels kind of skimmed over and stilted.....and I say, never never skim on the smex....not ever!
I so wanted to love this story because I feel like all of the Characters were strong and the world(s) sounded so interesting. Darn it!

Straight up erotica - didn't feel much like romance to me. Luna is a virgin in a tough territory and, trying to escape, stows away on a ship with three rough and tough, alpha males. Erak, Genet and Raimi are brothers in search of their mates - but they realize that Luna is the one for all three of them. All Luna wants is freedom, not to be tied down by the alpha needs of three guys. Genet and Raimi are pretty understanding and patient, but Erak is ready to have her and demanding that she submit. And that's probably the big reason I didn't rate this higher. It constantly felt like a battle for power between Erak and Luna, while Genet and Raimi sort of got pushed to the sidelines. I'm not a huge fan of BDSM, and while this wasn't heavy on that, it was the fact that Luna had to submit to them that bothered me. Especially since she didn't want to.

Deep, Hard, and Rough by Jenika Snow is not part of a series but I hope we see these characters again in the future. I chose this book because I enjoy reading Ms. Snows book and I also chose this book because it looked interesting and I wanted to see how it turned out.
Luna Riyan has had a rough life. Her life is filled with violence, degradation and the threat of sex, and she known no other life. She plans her escape, saving every dime she can. The one thing that she has saved is her virginity and it’s a prize her boss is willing to sell at the highest bidder. I have to admire her, she was willing to take chances for the possibility of hope of a different life than she has known.
Erak, Genet, and Raimi are princes that have to find there mate that will carry their future heirs. While the brothers are close when the spot Luna, none of the brothers even thought they would have the same mate. The three brothers spend most of the book together, so it was hard to get a feel for each brother individually.
The chemistry between the three brothers and Luna is blistering. The sex scenes were hot and steamy. Despite the odd title this book was a great read. I was sucked into the story and had a hard time putting this book down; to the point I read this book in one sitting. I found it well written. The main characters and the secondary characters were realistic and appealing. Overall, this was a great book.

Luna lives on a planet where killing, violence, rape, prostitution is common place. She was the result of a human prostitute and was abandoned. On her own after her adopted parents murder, she had to work and make a living how she can. It is getting harder and harder to push away the advances from patrons and her boss. She knows her time is running out and she has to find a way off the planet before she is raped or killed.
Erak, Genet, and Raimi, warrior princes, have been asked to go out and find their mates. The people of their species only have male children. So the women have to be found else where. Finally deciding to take there fathers advice they go out and search for their mates. Arriving on a violent planet to refuel, they come across a bar maid, who all 3 brothers are attracted to.
This was a cute sexy read. A good sci-fi story, with action in and out of the bed. You can feel the connection between the guys and Luna. Even more you sympathize with Luna and her plight. She does what she has to do to survive. Really enjoyed the story. Great author, one to follow for sure. Thanks for the good read.

This story takes place where there is nothing but violence and rape! Luna wants nothing more than to escape from her reality of a life of having to fear for everything because she is a woman! Then one night as she is working she is introduced to three princes Erak, Genet, and Raimi who are looking for their mate to share but she is so fearful of men that she runs from them! Having decided that tonight was the night to leave she hops aboard a ship to escape not knowing what lay before her. Little did she know that she was on board Erak, Genet, and Raimi ship ! Will she be able to accept them as her mates or will she let her fear ruin it? This was a very good book! Not big on reading stories about aliens but I would definitely enjoy a sequel from this book! Definitely recommend it!

Luna wants to escape her life. Working for Maximo is not picnic and worse he is vile and degrading. He only cares about the money he can make. Her only chance to leave is to find someone willing to help. Erak, Genet, and Raimi have been told by the King, their father, to find a mate. He won’t be around forever. It was time for them to grow up. They needed an heir to pass on the throne. But where to find a female of value and worth. Luna may be human but she has the strength to get her through tough times. She stands up for herself and can hold her own. I love that she is a fighter. The brothers had a time with making her realize that she was their mate. Raimi was a charmer. Genet was calm but also a warrior. Erak is the hardest and dominate. Such a great story and hot.

I really enjoyed this quick HOT and steamy read. Luna is stuck on a crappy planet. Princes Erak, Genet and Raimi are out looking for their mate. They almost miss out on Luna. Luna runs away and winds up stowing away on their space ship. All the way back to their home planet they work on making her realize that she is the mate for all 3 of them. They get their HEA.
I was given an ARC for an honest review.

It's was good, but it could've been better. And i don't think she know who is the father of whom!
I mean, she take the three of them, same for them whenever they want to. Obviously, she could'nt know who exactly is the father of each child.
AND this is a menage, they share the girl, they share the paternity.

Well.... I never had problems with menages... I still don't but it's the first book I've read involving more than three people at one time. Given that there are aliens involved made me use my imagination to the fullest.
liked that Erak, Genet, and Raimi each gave Luna something different, that they fell for her and it was only her well-being on their mind. Quick read and enjoyable.

2.5ish stars. It was sort of a 3 until the epilogue where she called herself fat a million times because she was pregnant that it lost a star. I don't like that kind of thing so it sort of ruined my happy vibes but the worlds were a little interesting and I didn't mind the story, aside from e editing issues.

A very pant worthy story! I mean, the actual sex takes place far into the book but the lead up is amazing, and the precipitators for the actual act is one of those bookmarked moments for easy finding, always, and later, and then again, and again!
June 4, 2014
This is not a typical read for me but I'm really starting to love other worldly stories. This was awsome, I loved it. Strong storyline and strong characters with a bit of vulnerability here and there. Loved it!

Erak, Genet, and Raimi don't realize that they have met their mate, Luna. Luna wants her freedom and doesn't realize what being their mate means. I really enjoyed how Lena realized what she really wanted and how the guys were all patient with her.

Entertaining story about 3 warriors founding their mate.
Short fun story full of crazy sex scenes.
She is a weak human but stronger than what people think, so she escaped the forsaken planed in search for freedom.
And found so much more.

It was a good read. I like the alien approach to erotic books. They can get away with making a menage a normal part of their culture. This was a fun quick read! ;)

Jenika never disappoints. Loved the inventiveness in this one, and of course the Alien brothers were just yummy and just the right side of possessive.

If you're in the mood of some sci-fi ménage quick reading with alpha male Hs and strong-willed h, then this is the book for you.
May 8, 2016
This book involves menage graphic scenes and very alpha males. The story was okay but I did not like the elder brother that much he was too dominant for me. Other wise just an okay read for me.
