Hearts of Obsidian RESONANCE: Book 1
She crashed onto an alien ice world. He's been waiting 80 years for her.
Dr. Ava Chen never believed in fate, until her escape pod landed on an uncharted planet ruled by seven-foot-tall aliens with glowing skin and molten silver eyes. Raeth, their battle-scarred chieftain, has kept his people alive through decades of slow extinction. He'd given up on hope... until a fierce human doctor fell from the sky and made his ancient soul burn.
The Vothren don't just fall in love, they resonate.
One look, and Raeth's bioluminescent glow blazes violet whenever Ava is near, marking her as his fated mate before the entire settlement. But Ava has spent her whole life proving she doesn't need anyone. Accepting a soul-bond with an alien warrior means surrendering the independence she's fought so hard to protect.
RESONANCE is a full-length sci-fi alien romance featuring a touch-starved alien chieftain, a stubborn human doctor, fated mates who fight their bond (and lose spectacularly), explicit heat, and a guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhanger.

quick read IPB vibes
This book is a nice quick read alien romance with strong IPB energy. Our MMC even “resonates” with light for the FMC. But even with the predictable plot I enjoyed the characters and the language barrier elements a lot. If alien books are your thing go for it!

Hearts of Obsidian RESONANCE: Book 1
I love these books that have someone crashing on a Alien planet. This one is no exception! There are a couple of confusing parts and a little repetition but all in all it is a fabulous story of two very different worlds coming together. I can't wait to continue the series to see where it will head and what will happen to the survivors.

Heartfelt Sci-fi Romance
Ava and Raeth
Lyra wrote heart and grit into her characters and brought them touchingly to life. I’d love to know what’s next and if we’ll ever learn exactly what calamity befell the Vothren that derived them from their home world.

Ava and Raeth!
Wow this was so so good! I enjoyed the crash landing and the uniqueness of our alien MMC and his clan. It was a great read to start 2026 off with. If you enjoy aliens and their unique capabilities you’ll love this romance story!

Was not feeling this book. It felt disorganized and didn't have a smooth flow. I ended up DNF'ing
