Beneath the Surface

Rate this book
It's every biologist's dream to discover new ecosystems, but when Alnilam found life on a planet reported to be uninhabited, her superior officer rewarded her discovery by dumping her overboard.  Plucked from the surface, she realizes she's been captured by people she can help. Now she has to convince them she can find the cure to the mystery bacterium infesting their city.

Alnilam came equipped with translators, but even she can't comprehend why her sexy captors are the ones who are protecting her from the government that doesn't want her there. These two men have every reason not to trust her, but she has to trust them if she has any hope for surviving in a culture that views Earthlings as an invasive alien force.

As they share their world with her, her feelings for them force her to decide if she wants to stay on a plant that will never accept her, or find her way back to earth and leave her heart in the stars.

This book completely swept me off my feet.

As someone who usually gravitates toward sci-fi, I went in already excited—but this delivered on every level. The worldbuilding is rich without ever feeling overwhelming. The science, the biology, the space travel, even the medical elements—all of it is layered in so seamlessly that it adds depth without slowing the story down.

And then… the romance.

This was actually my first real experience with a ménage dynamic, and I’ll admit I was a little unsure going in. But wow. This author doesn’t just make it work—they make it electric. The chemistry is intense, the emotional connections feel genuine, and the heat level? Let’s just say you might need a fan nearby 🔥

But what truly stood out to me was the attention to detail—especially with the alien traits. The use of tails wasn’t just a fun addition, it became part of the emotional language of the characters. The way they expressed affection, comfort, and desire through movement was so unique and beautifully done.

Rigel and Saib absolutely stole my heart, and Sah’hara? I am so intrigued. I already know she’s going to be incredible.

This is one of those books that blends sci-fi and romance in a way that feels immersive, bold, and completely unforgettable. I loved every second of it.
