Excerpt
“Any sign of her?”
Tristin shook his head, his gaze still searching the throng of people for their beautiful wife. Her golden-red mane would be easy to spot in the fading daylight.
“She’s late,” Tristin said, tossing the apple core away. A small, furry scavenger darted from beneath their ship and carried the remnant of fruit away, making happy little squeaking sounds.
“She’s never late,” Rafe replied, worry pinching his brows. Isis had always been incredibly punctual which was just one of the many things he loved about her. Her punctuality had saved their ass on more than one occasion.
“I’ll try her comm,” Tristin said. He tapped the call button and braced his forearms against his knees as he waited. Rafe sat down next to him and looked out at the landing pad. Pad might be stretching it a bit.
It was a flat surface free from debris and obstacles. But the surface was sandy and kicked up like a son-of-a-bitch during takeoff and landing. It was a wonder there weren’t more accidents due to the poor visibility.
“No answer.”
Rafe sighed. “Maybe she got hung up. You know how she loves to haggle.”
They waited another thirty.
“I’m going to go look for her,” Tristin said as he stood.
“I’ll leave her a message on the computer in case she comes back and then I’ll stop by that little stall she loves so much.” The one with all the aphrodisiacs that the three of them enjoyed.
Tristin nodded.
“Try her comm again,” Rafe called as Tristin stalked away, his long legs eating up the sandy soil.
It took hardly any time at all to leave a message on the main computer, lock up the ship and retrace his steps to where he’d seen her last. He followed the direction she’d been heading and made his way to the cluster of stores she frequented whenever they came to the market.
Fabrique from Tajeek, out-of-this-world chocolates, healing waters from Oasis 9, and finally, aphrodisiacs. Fruits, candies, dust and drinks, the tidy little stall had it all.
He spoke to the proprietor in her native language and was surprised that she remembered him. She went on and on about how good it was to see Isis again and how glad she was that they enjoyed her products.
Patience wearing thin, he held up a hand and offered her a small smile. “So you’ve seen Isis today?”
The ancient nodded and began talking again, her hands flying along with her words.
He thanked her for the information and stepped to the next booth, where Isis had evidently headed next. He had a similar conversation with that proprietor and then stepped to the next stall. The man said he’d seen her cut down the alley behind the booths.
Rafe called Tristin on the comm and filled him in.
“I see you. Wait for me,” Tristin said. A few moments later they were side by side, heading down the alley.
Tristin’s comm buzzed and he answered immediately.
The sound of Isis’s scream coming through the tiny speaker made Rafe’s heart stop mid-beat.

Liked this storyline. Was a little confusing, we don't know why Iris was taken, or why they were fighting so hard to get her back. Why were they taking females to impregnate? Too many unanswered questions. I did like how Rafe and Tristan gave Isis space to get her bearings, but were not going to give up on her being theirs. Wanted an epilogue with a pregnancy announcement.

Isis has been kidnapped and her two mates Tristian and Rafe will stop at nothing to get her back. She has been missing for months and when they finally rescue her they must make her remember them and the love they shared or all will be lost. Isis feels in her heart that these men mean something to her, but she doesn't know if it is because they saved her or if it is deeper than that. These three are a hot ménage who have had each other's back for years and they won't let a little thing like amnesia stand in their way. This is a short story but has a lot of action and sensual scenes. I was lucky to be a beta reader for this title and fell in love with this series and couples in the them. This is a standalone title in a continuing storyline with each book dealing with a different couple( ménage).
I received a copy of this book for a honest review.

Making what should have been a routine landing on their trip home, Tristin and Rafe are devastated when they are unable to fine their wife, Isis at the local market.
After months of searching and the lack of results, they are shocked to stumble upon Isis on the all female planet of Prime C.
What follows is the heartbreaking realization that Isis does not remember them or their time together, and her denial of the relationship she once shared with these men.
This is a short Sci Fi story and a thoroughly enjoyable read!

I like the characters Isis, Tristan and Rafe but I would of like a little more world building. At times I felt lost when they spoke about people, places bad events. I enjoyed this short story and I'm looking forward to reading the next book to find out about Natacha.

A very human story of loss and renewal when what was lost has been found. A love triad that is tested as one of the three is lost and once recovered does not realize who she really is. The story encompasses a journey of rediscovery, both physically and emotionally. A very poignant tale.

3 1/2 stars. Interesting storyline although not really quite enough time to develop it enough or give it any real depth. And no explanation of how Isis got into the situation her men found her in either.

It was a real jumping book that in some ways did not make sense. I hope the other one that I have will help.
