Ex-soldier Lenora is determined to escape an alien slave colony no matter what the cost. Her disobedience angers her male alien overseers, who are trying to breed humans so they can intermarry with them. Lenora, and willful women like her, are sent to the Bride Games. If they win they will be granted their freedom. If they lose they must accept marriage to an alien nobleman.
Alien Viceroy Lysanter wants no part of these hideous games. Their lack of females caused them to wage a brutal war with Earth that ended horribly for both races. He knows the humans despise his kind, and that females are particularly fearful. When the games organizer offers him a slave named Lenora as a bride he’s initially repulsed by the idea. Then he realizes that her military programming has left her with an irrational fear of his kind that causes her to take dangerous risks. Lenora has suffered in her desperation to escape them.
Perhaps, if he can convince her to accept him, he can give her a better life?
Lysanter becomes determined to court Lenora throughout the games with the goal of persuading her to forfeit.

Book was recommended by an author in a FB group I'm in. Did not realize that it was the third in the series however. I would have started at the beginning. Be that as it may, I'm going to go back and read the rest of the books because I really liked this.
I really loved how kind and gentlemanly Lysanter was. It was so refreshing and lovely to see in a male protagonist. Consent is sexy folks. Also, Lenora comes across as tough and capable without being vitriolic and annoying. Definite plus. This is a light, quick read at 105 page count. Good for a weekend afternoon.
This is an alien H / human h off-world story. She has been horribly abused, and fears the aliens but is so brave and resourceful. The H falls for her story first of all, starts to protect her and when he meets her he's hers. But she has heard stories about aliens and her history makes her fearful, so he shows her she has nothing to fear. Simple story but also interesting, and I loved it.
The hero is too good to be true, (lol) well I mean being the top race in the universe and know to be kind of cruel, the hero is kind of soft and really toooooooooooo kind and gooooooood. The heroine is the opposite of him and it's okay with me, but what I didn't like is the fact she succumb sometime in her past to advantages of her rapist but she bounce back by killing the a$$hole.
This is the third book of the series and I actually like every one of them. They're short and sometimes gritty but the MLs are likable in an alien kind of ways hahaha.
My only problem is Nayjoor. It would be awesome for someone to find out the truth about his exchange for the divorce of Inga and remove him from the high council or for Pakpo to stop him from being able from getting wives because this is redunculous this is 2nd human he has hurt on purpose. Can't wait to read more...
Compared to other Alien Brides this is the story that I like the best. It has a wonderful plot with an agreeable hero and heroine. It has everything. I like the heroine a lot and how she handled her situation and more than that I like a badass heroine!! The two of them are great together and love how the story ended.
The author knows how to keep your attention on the plot of the story and the awesome characters. It has action, cruel aliens, and hot steamy scenes? A must buy and keep them coming.
Meh. I was really interested after reading the blurb. Then he realizes that her military programming has left her with an irrational fear of his kind that causes her to take dangerous risks. Lenora has suffered in her desperation to escape them. Perhaps, if he can convince her to accept him, he can give her a better life?But the reality of the story is that it is short. I forgot that. So everything is rushed, and they end up HEA.I think this could have been a great story if it had been longer.
