Catherine- Given the job of investigating a shady online dating service Catherine Chambers was just happy to back in the field and useful again. Until a twist of fate lands her on a strange planet with all of the missing women she was looking for. None of whom want or need to be "found". To make matters worse she is accused of harming one of their council members. How can she prove that she is a worthy addition to their community when the one person who could corroborate her story isn't talking?
Knaleg- As the head of security he takes the safety of his people very seriously. Working tirelessly to ensure the smooth integration of females into their previously all male society. His established routine is suddenly and violently shattered with the arrival of Catherine. She is accused of harming a council member which in itself is bad enough, but what makes it worse is that the injured party is his brother. How can he justify his attraction to a female accused of such violence? His instincts tell him she isn't dangerous, but his heart is warning him she is a serious threat to his peace of mind.
I wish I could make this part more interesting for you. I would love to say that I am a highly decorated author with loads of accolades to my name. I wish it were so...but unfortunately, it is not true...Yet. I am holding out hope that this will change soon.
In reality, I am just a regular person. I have been working at one job or another since I was sixteen. I am not ashamed to say that is thirty years of 9 to 5 and sometimes 6 to 6. Whatever it took to get the job done. Then about a year ago, I was teaching technology at the grade school level when my teenage daughter self-published a book. I was fascinated with the process. Empowered by seeing her dream come true, I decided to give it a try. I am a huge fan of Romance novels and had even tried writing in the past but had no idea where to go with my ideas. With my daughter's encouragement, I finally got my first book ready and self-published.
Did the whole process change me? Not really. I still get up and put my pants on one leg at a time. I still work hard and take what life hands me. The only difference now is that I have a deeper appreciation for all the hard work self-publishing takes. Being in front of the computer, writing my stories, is still my escape. I hope in some small way, that my stories are entertaining and an escape for the reader as well.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read my author bio. I hope that if you liked my stories that you can leave a kind review.
I am really enjoying this series. This was not the most passionate of the series. However I liked that there they introduced a kickass woman. I think this book was bridging the series into taking a new direction with the introduction of another humanoid alien race (a little sinister and who also seem to be lacking women)!
I am interested in seeing where this series is going, it is a whole lot of fun!
Overall Rating: 4 Rockin’ ★★★★ Knaleg is a Terraneau novel by Stormy McKnight and is the third book in this series. Once again the reader is plunged into the erotic world of science fiction created by Ms. McKnight. It is set on Terraneau a planet of perfect peace and harmony. There was only one problem, no females! The witty banter and alien alpha males are sure to please the masses. This is Knaleg and Catherine's story.
Knaleg is known for his sheer size, fighting ability and military training. Not only is he a member of the ruling council but is also in charge of security for his people. He is a strong, loyal leader and will do anything necessary to protect those he is responsible for. Knaleg does not want a small, delicate female for a mate and yet he is drawn to Catherine even though is afraid that he will break her. Oh, and did I mention he is gorgeous to look at!
Catherine is from Earth where she had been assigned desk duty for the FBI and removed as a field agent. She is petite in stature but strong not only in intellect but also in her fighting skills. When circumstances arise and she is sent back into the field as an active undercover agent, she had no idea what she was getting into. She was sent to gather information on the disappearance of females at a bed and breakfast in Ireland. Catherine’s life is changed in an ‘other worldy’ way and she will never be the same again.
Stormy McKnight has a vivid imagination that is brought to life in this story of alien abduction and HEA. This is book was a relaxing fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed every last minute of it. If you haven't read her series you should.
Catherine is investigating an online dating service Catherine and the disappearance of 90 women. He confronts Knew and land herself on Terraneu injured. Her life is save and she is "enhanced" but the do not members do not trust her because knew was injured and couldn't corroborate her story of the accident that got both of them shot.
Knaleg is the head of security and he takes the safety of his people very serious. He trains hard as well as his people to make sure there is peace and harmony on Terraneu. His instincts about Cat are to trust her however he needs his brother's confirmation (?).
The book sometime is pretty confusing to me. I found myself reading about a nightmare then Knaleg after being so willing to have a mate is running away from Cat because he is afraid.... Well the story picked up for me when the "others" come into play. That should make an interesting 4th book.
Book 3 had potential but it was too short. Again the minor details compared to the shortness of the story were not necessary to me. I wanted to know what they were doing to defend themselves and could be the story of the "others" instead of a swimming pool opening.
I read the first book in this series and found it just so-so but thought that maybe the author's writing and plotting would have improved as the series had continued. I thought that the setup would be interesting and the heroine was described in reviews as feisty and strong. Instead I find her immediately checking all the guys out and dissolving into teenage swooning instead of worrying about the fact that she's on another planet and in big trouble for possibly shooting a native. The scene where she learns she's on another planet and can't go back is ridiculous. All the women in the former romances are trotted out and a synopsis of the first woman's (Amber) experience is given. I would be skeptical, panicked, and trying to make a break for it if I heard all that, but she takes it all in stride with no hysteria or doubt. She's too busy noticing Knaleg's lips to ask many questions. When she starts getting all turned on by the guy telling her she's going to be confined and under guard, I gave up and didn't finish. The writing is extremely choppy and amateurish and the characters have very little personality just as in the first book. I don't plan to read any others in the series.
I like this determined brother. His work ethic is admirable and he got a mate with the same mind set. This is the bridge between earth and terranaeu. I liked the drama and how Cat fixed it.
The books in the series get better as you go along
This is the third book that I've read and the story is better than the first . Also most of the editing and grammar errors in the first couple of books are slowly going away. Looking forward to the next one
