Reading Saving the alien prince is bittersweet for me.So happy because I wanted so much to read Alik's story and sad because it's the last one of the series.
Erin Hale wrapped it up masterfully, we see a recap of the series while Devon and Alik deal with many struggles.
In the last book we saw Devon sneaking around to see Alik in his cage due to his beast.
Even being out of his mind he's super protective of her.
And Devon is perfect for him,calming his beast due to being his heartfire.
This book has a perfect balance of high tension,high stakes, romance, spice and a touch of humor!

Brides of the Bohnari series comes to a close with heart, tension, and romance. I loved Alik and his devotion to his mate. Even when he is overcome by his beast and only vaguely aware of the visitors to his cage, his protectiveness and need for his mate never wavers. He doesn't fully understand what Devon is to him, but he wants her close.
Devon is exactly what he needs. She calms the beast, not only as his heart’s fire but through her steady demeanor and her fierce protectiveness. I loved watching them together. They are both all in on the relationship, they held each other up. Alik is also a great leader. Despite all his personal upheaval, he still wants to be the leader his people deserve and never lets his ego come first.
This was a satisfying end to the series. I loved watching the female friendships and watching these powerful Bohnari males fall head over heels for their hearts' fire. I’m sad to see it end, but I’m excited about what could be in store for the expanded world Erin Hale has created. Such a fantastic series for fans of alien romance!

Saving the Alien Prince is book four of the Brides of the Bohnari Series.
I would suggest reading the previous books in the series as there is a subplot which connects through the whole series and we get the conclusion in this story.
Alik and Devon were perfect together. Even when things looked problematic for them, it just seemed to work perfectly and how it was supposed to. Alik is in trouble and the only solution is Devon. I liked how no one made it seemed forced for Devon to take the next step and help Alik. There already seemed to be a genuine connection, so when ideas were brought forth it just seemed like the natural conclusion. When Alik has a clear or clouded mind, you can see that the only concern he has is for Devon and he will do everything he can to protect her and make sure she is safe and loved. Great conclusion to the series.

What a great ending to the series! I was so ready for Alik's story ever since he popped up on Tavikh and the wait was totally worth it! Alik and Devon's story was a bit different than the others but no less sweet and spicy! I was not expecting a certain plot twist regarding our aloof and reclusive prince. What a secret to be keeping for so long!
Not only did I enjoy seeing how their relationship grew, but the sisterhood/found family feels were so good. I love that group of ladies. I hope we get sneak peeks of all their growing families in the future.

Arc review
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
I think Devon and Alik may be my favorite couple from this series and that says a lot bc I adore Janik and Olivia! Devon and Alik’s relationship didn’t feel forced or mostly definitely did not feel like Devon was there to save the day. In all honesty, anyone could have done what she did, I just think she took out the time to do it. And that makes me love her even more.
Alik definitely has my heart. It felt like his world was just turned upside down. Hit with the mating fever and unable to control himself, he was going through it. It didn’t matter who he knew before the feral beast took over, their presence didn’t matter. Nothing controlled or quiet the beast but her.

Fate, love, and acceptance
I loved Devon and Alik’s story. It was a good capstone for the series. Be prepared to read it in one sitting though because it was hard to put down. The author created a great mix of humor, love, real life issues, painful pasts, suspense, and spice woven into a backdrop of good world building. Devon is a human who traveled to the planet of Bohna to marry an alien because the Bohnari race has a lack of female births and a treaty was formed with Earth for willing brides from the bottom tier. She is loving her life on Bohna but has a bit of jealousy since her 3 friends are already mated. Alik is the crown prince of Bohna. He is suffering from mating sickness and has no desire to take a mate. Despite this, he was the catalyst for bringing the humans to Bohna. When he succumbs to the violent mating fever, Alik is placed in an isolated cell in the palace where Devon visits him after finding a secret passage. When it becomes obvious Devon is Alik’s heart’s fire, steps are taken to help Alik. Unfortunately, the masterminds of the rebel plot are still out there threatening everyone. To get to their HEA, Alik and Devon will need to deal with the mating fever, trust fate and each other, and embrace their new reality all while dealing with danger. I am sorry to see the series end but excited that we might see these characters in future books.
This book does a fantastic job of recapping how Devon and Alik got where they are before the story takes off (info that is spoilery for the other books in the series). And while this book could be read as a standalone, it is book four and the final one in the series. It resolves the overarching series story arc and answers all the unanswered questions from the entire series. To get the most out of the book and the series, do yourself a favor and read the books in order. They’re worth it. 4.5 stars.

Review of advance copy
Man Erin Hale keeps getting better and better. I have been waiting to read about this couple and man I am totally blown away!!! The surprises throughout the book as well the ending it surpasses what I was even anticipating. The chemistry between this couple was hot and so heartwarming. I loved how this whole series has developed into this story that brings everything all together. The writing is on point and keeps you engaged all the way through the book. Once you start reading you cannot put this book down!!! This author keeps getting better and better. I am now to the point doesn't matter what subject she is writing I will be the first in line to just purchase and grab that comfy spot and read!!! I cannot say enough how much I loved this story and cannot wait to see what else this author has planned for us with this series. This is a must read!!!

A story fit for a Prince
Alik and Devon are two extremely strong characters. Alik has gone through so much trying to avoid getting a mate due to thinking his family bloodline is cursed. It has brought him to madness and being locked up in the pit. Devon, while coming as a bottom tier nobody from Earth, has watched all her friends find mates and love without finding it herself. Still Devon is drawn to Alik and when she finds her way to his cell, all things begin to turn around for them. The search for the crazed pair who have been trying to take the crown from Queen Veroneek and her two sons finally comes to an end. Many things come to light in this book and we see brothers come back together and families mended. I love this world and all the characters on Bohna. Hoping to see more of them on Tavikh.

This was such a great finale to the series and I loved seeing Alik and Devon get their HEA together. There is an overarching plot, so I recommend reading this series in order to get the max enjoyment out of this last book. We get to see the previous couples, the friendships the gals have made, the strong found family vibes and, of course, a wonderful romance for two people who well deserve it. Expect to get caught up in the drama, twists, connection and hot romance when you dive into this engaging read. It's sweet and steamy and a page turner. Good fun!

I cant believe this is the last book in the series!
Loved Alik & Devon so much. Alik's mating fever has taken over and with him confined to a underground cell in order to protect him and others, Devon has been sneaking in to see him and talk to him.
The security cameras pick up that she has been visiting and it seems to be helping control the fever. The doctor believes she could be his hearts fire. This means Devon has to decide if she wishes to mate with Alik.
Lots going on to round off this series including the truth about the rebels and who is really to blame.

Saving the Alien Prince by Erin Hale is the final book in the Brides of Bohnari series, and Devon and Alik finally get their HEA! This series has had such great characters and world-building throughout, both in this series and the connected Warriors of the Tavikh series. This story not only gives us more insight into Alik and the challenges he faces but also ties together all the mysteries and dangers that have unfolded throughout the series. A satisfying conclusion to a great series!

Beastly Love
What an awesome story to end the series on. I Binged the whole set from beginning to end, but this may have been the best of the Stories. So romantic that it set the beastly dragon free. Although it could stand alone, all the stories are enhanced by reading them in order. That way you can follow the plot of the Rebellion! Such kick a** girls from Earth!

Good read
Devon has been secretly visiting Alik in the pit. Alik has been fighting the mating fire and his beast within. Devon soothes him. This story then gets very interesting. Enjoy❗

I thought this was a nice way to end the series though I wish it were set up a bit different. The action and everything was toward the end and most of the book was almost slice of life? Still entertaining though
