Zarun: Her Space Guardian
Cooperstown, Nevada is in ruins.
In a hidden underground shelter beneath her clinic, Dr. Mercy Wallace is waiting out the end of the world. The year is 2070, and after an ill-advised attack on the inhabited, technologically advanced planet of Toria, Earth is facing an all-out invasion.
As the war unfolds on both worlds, Mercy struggles to survive and keep morale as she finishes up her second week in complete isolation. Worried that she may be the last surviving human in her area—or the world—she is shocked one night when she discovers a wounded man has broken into her clinic upstairs and collapsed. She rushes to his aid—only to discover that she has saved the life of a Torian warrior.
Zarun saw his planet's capitol reduced to rubble in the humans' initial attack, and entered the war to end the threat to his world. But he soon found himself embroiled, not in a standing war with trained soldiers, but in the occupation and destruction of a town filled with innocent civilians. When he resisted the order to kill, his vicious squad commander put him on potentially deadly scouting detail as punishment.
Badly injured by an improvised bomb, he was left for dead by his squad—and crawled his way to shelter, acting on pure instinct. Now, tended to by a traumatized but kind human healer, he awakens in her shelter—and quickly realizes that he has imprinted on her as his lifelong mate.
What should be a genetic impossibility becomes hope for a new future for both races as Mercy and Zarun struggle to survive together and support each other.
As trust barriers fall between them, they become lovers, solidifying their bond and pledging to each other. But when Zarun's old squad discovers their shelter and threatens Mercy's life, the alien warrior must chose between loyalty to his own people, and love for the mate who saved his life when his own left him for dead.

Good read
Starts off interesting and keeps getting better. Lots of action and steamy scenes. I just wished the ending was better.

Good story
Mercy is a human doctor. Zarun is an alien warrior from Toria. The leaders of earth attacked an alien world for the mineral deposits that have been depleted on earth, exposing earth to the wrath of an innocent people unjustly injured and killed for opportunistic reasons. They retaliate in kind decimating and destroying earth's towns and cities. Zarun is almost killed when he refuses to follow inhumane orders. He is put on a dangerous assignment and left for dead.
Mercy is a human doctor hiding from the aliens in a shelter under her clinic. She often feels like she is the last person on earth. Most of her time is spent recording how and why the invasion started hoping it will read in the future and the people responsible will be held accountable. Her beliefs and ideals are tested when she finds a wounded alien in her clinic. Zarun helps her and becomes her friend as he heals. He tells her his people believe in one soulmate and gets Mercy to check his theory with her equipment. She is shocked when he is proven correct. When his squad finds her clinic his beliefs are tested when he has to kill people he has fought beside. The author brought out many points that are true today. Many conflicts aren't started by the innocent, but they are the ones that pay the most. You often say you will always act in a certain way,but never expect to be called on to prove it. And the best is love always wins.

Short but good
The story was kind of short but good. I actually liked how the two got to know each other while holed up together.

Not bad, slightly unique
Decent, short scifi erotica. Characters are a little flat and the world building revolves around one room for the most part. A restrained take on fated mates with a few so so sex scenes. The H and h are likable enough just not much to work with. Story was good with some nice variation on the genre. No alien world but an alien race with some description.
Writing was rushed and story was very short even for this genre. But not a bad read if you like scifi erotica and have some time. This isn't a regrettable read nor is it one that you wish there was more of.
Middle of the road. Would have given 4 stars if the h hadn't said "give it to me, please" as the only dirty talk in an average sex scene.

Felt like we are missing the middle part of the book. What is there is good. The old adage for writers "Show don't tell." would have helped with the abrupt sudden solution.
It really bugged me that we never learn how the alien and the human speak each other's language. There was some mention of translation badges but if our hero had one, I missed it.
Will definitely read more by this author.

Great beginning with a rushed ending.
I was really into this story. It started off great and the romance was very developed. Then it just seemed to end. The war was over without it really feeling like it should be. It was definitely anticlimactic. On the good side again the romance was good and the characters appealing.

Why do ALL sci-fi and fantasy romances have to be BBW now?
The stories inevitably get sidetracked by the heroine's body insecurities, or go into detail about how the hero enjoys the heroine's chub rub.
I do not have a fat chick fetish. Please stop pushing it on me.

A quick read at only 95 pages but a very well rounded story. Well though out and didn't feel rushed.
