When a strong and fearless warrior seeks the help of an earthling solely for the purpose of delivering an heir to his kingdom, there's just one thing in his mind, wild mating with no room for emotions. But, the sexy alien can't help but wonder how quickly his wild commands turned into passionate desires and how easily this naive earthling changed his savage lust to meaningful love.
But, will fate allow him to accept his true feelings for the earthling who is destined to bear the Alien Commander's Baby? Or, will they part ways only to regret the past?
Only time will tell what this "conditional arrangement" leads to...
This was one of those stories that you can relax while you are reading it. While there is some conflicts, they are relatively low keyed. The storyline has romance, misunderstandings, and sex, covering the necessary parts for an alien/human interaction. The characters were interesting, with the hero a bit of a dominating chauvinist and the heroine more than a bit strong headed. But there is a happy ending, so read it and enjoy.
2.7 Stars. Why not more stars? The idea behind the book was cute but there were a couple things that kept me from truly enjoying it.
Kendra is broke so she decides to look in the classifieds and agrees to do a scientific study. This study turns out to be done by aliens and all they really want is a baby the old fashion way. When she walks into a room and it's full of aliens she doesn't bat an eyelash at that. I think if you saw an alien for the first time a bit more of a reaction would be warranted. For some reason this lack of reasonable reaction really bothered me. Then once she finds out all that's involved. She agrees she doesn't even ask questions. She has no problem giving up a child in exchange for money. She doesn't even ask about visitation. Her lack of care about leaving behind and never seeing her child really bothered me. The rest of the book was fine once I was willing to overlook those issues.
Kendra experiences a whole new world complete with culture and politics. She falls in love and gets her HEA.
