FREE with Kindle Unlimited. On 99c SALE for a limited time only (Normally $18.99)
Albaterra is a beautiful, diverse planet, just one galaxy away from the Milky Way. Its inhabitants? A race of blue-skinned, white-eyed, muscular aliens who call themselves the A’li-uud. They are fierce warriors, and they revere the ground upon which they walk, but the security of the comfortable world they’ve built for themselves is about to be put to the test because humans are close.
Very close.
When a human spacecraft crashes onto Albaterra, nothing short of chaos ensues. Violence and deceit threaten to tear the serene A’li-uud civilization apart and obliterate the human race altogether. It is left up to a select few alien males and the human females who’ve captured their hearts to not only save what is about to be lost but blossom a seedling of hope for a prosperous future into a flower of fruition.
Discover Rex, one of the eleven elite Elders who protects the curvaceous Tabitha against his obligations to the A’li-uud Council. Learn why Duke, the militant mission captain, forsakes all he’s ever known when he meets Emily. Follow the alpha male Dane as he is caught between filling his brother’s shoes and fulfilling his desires with the New York ambassador, Roxanne. Join Lokos and Celine in unexpected unity when they face a new danger that could threaten everything. Find Khrel battling his loyalty to his kingdom and his feelings for Lena. Meet the snarky Zuran as he tears himself away from a criminal past for a future with the selfless Phoebe. And, finally, watch Venan discover what it truly means to lead a kingdom with the help of Octavia.
In an era of widespread fear, dangerous mistrust, and extreme cultural differences, romances bud with such flaming passion, they could set the world on fire. Everyone wants that happy ending, but both A’li-uud and humans are going to discover the answer to one of the time’s greatest does love really conquer all?

REX - 5 stars
That was a great journey with great characters and relationship!
What will happened when human ships get to discover galaxy outside Andromeda and there was living an alien race? Are they similar to us - in some ways for sure, but still different with hierarchy? I loved getting to know their ways! That was like building something new in my head :)
Characters were full and everything was going smooth :) Nothing was strange, as their relationship was developing slowly, first from body attraction than emotional.
I can promise you great read with love, relationships, developed the world and fight for love against everything!
I really liked Rex mother - Beni!
DUKE - 3 stars
It's a very quick read - for me it was like 2 hours.
The situation is like that: Aliens invaded Earth and want to kill everyone. You are a girl that happens to see their ship land on the ground. What are you doing next?
Emily is a young woman that works in a Mystic shop as well as an artist. She was stunned by stranger Alien - Duke. He felt the same. It was like instant love. I don't like this way of developing feelings as it can cause falling this relationship to be flat. I think it happened here - I couldn't somehow feel their feeling inside me.
In book one I really liked Duke, but here he was just like - kill every human right away. Emily was nice, but I couldn't imagine killing people with no hesitation without being a soldier or being trained to do so.
I hope book 3 will show whole talent to the author.
DANE - 4 stars
This one was really a good Alien Romance with full characters that are shattered with many emotions.
Dane just became an Elder due to his brother injury and return to Albaterra with his mate. He will need to consider he believe about humans, love, and feelings.
Roxanne is an Ambassador that needs to somehow try to establish peace between races.
They will Travel to Albaterra. Will she manage to convince Elders to stop the war?
Nice AR story!
LOKOS - 4 stars
In this book, nothing happens on The Earth.
Celine is one of the colonists that come to Albaterra to live there along with Aliens.
Lokos is a War Chief in his kingdom, he is very male and dominant.
I enjoyed this one as Celine wasn't the only damsel in distress but she tried to do what she found right at the moment.
Lokos was irritating at some places but well his culture was like that.
Really nice Alien Romance.
KHREL - 5 stars
For sure this book is worth 5 stars!
In this book I saw author development - I need more parts with such beautiful descriptions like in chapter 1 (there is more!).
Lena is a life coach that came to Albaterra to find her own purpose. She accommodated in Ponteba, near to new Novai camp. These are strange creatures that wanted to settle on Albterra during Lokos's book. She was attacked by one of them. What will happen after being rescued by handsome Albaterra male - Khrel?
Khrel is a War Chief in Ponteba. He has only one purpose in his life - serve his elder and community. What will happen when he will start to develop feelings to Lena that he is supposed to protect?
This read was so nice, so deep in some parts (descriptions of Lena and Khrel saw), events were intense and very emotional! I need more Alien Romances like that!
ZURAN - 5 stars
Zuran - an Interplanetary Affair Officer in one land in Albaterra. He is masculine and he is high in the hierarchy. He also has past, and this past will knock on his door during this book. What will happen when it will also endanger a woman that he started developing feelings for? He was not a di*k in his way of treating Phoebe - like it sometimes had happened in previous books.
Phoebe - a nurse that works in the infirmary. One day an Alien came to the infirmary to take her and others nurses and doctor to Elder Palace in order to find a treat for Novai disease. Add to it current Eder death and a lot of misunderstandings and judgments. And what is with her that she started to feel something to that Alien?
What will happen during their way in this book? I can promise some shocking news about Zuran!
VENAN - 5 starts
Venan is the newest Elder on Albaterra. He was accused of murdering the previous Elder. His life is not easy due to it.
Octavia - a hairdresser, they met by accident on Zuran and Phoebe's wedding. Something Small started between them. Fascination. Being intrigued. Will it bloom into something more?
Each character was great Great and full. I can Tell I hated Venan in some parts! And that made this read even better! Join them on their journey find each other inner truth.
Add to it sisters that look for redemption from her family. Will he accept her?
This read was exciting!

Rex 4*
-----
Rex is the blue skinned warrior and Tribal Elder of one of the kingdoms on Albaterra. He is a fairly recent leader and his more modern ideas make them others wonder if he is really capable of his position. Tabitha is a feisty chef on the Paragon spaceship escaping Earth to start a new life exploring space. The Elders of Albaterra cause the spaceship to crash in a move to get rid of it and Rex finds Tabitha in the wreckage. They then have to work their way through secrets, prejudices, denial, duty and love. Can they work out how to prevent war, death and find a way for two people from separate species to also have love at the end too?
Lots of drama in this story of how two races can get over their prejudices to find a compromise, whilst two people (one from each race) can have a lasting love. There was a lot of passion in this story and it was nice to see the way the love crept up on Rex. Some of the trials became a little tedious but I also understand why they were needed. A lovely story of love against the odds between 2 people from different races.
Duke 4*
-------
Duke is an A’li-uud Elder just like his father was. Everything is going well because there is peace in his kingdom and his warriors are well trained and deadly. However when they travel to Earth he finds he cannot kill one human woman called Emily because he is in love with her, even if that means he has to ignore his loathing for humans as well as betray his own troops.
This is a charming story on how love can strike at the most inopportune moments between two people who should be enemies. The story covered how he tried to not feel anything for her, but in the end had to give in. The ending nicely handed over to Duke who is in the next story and I hope there will be space for the rest of the story between Duke and Emily to be told as so much more can and probably will happen when they arrive on Albaterra. So it would have been nice for this book to contain more on that.
Dane 5*
------
Dane is new as an A’li-uud Elder even though his elder brother and father were Elders before him and has responsibility for his warriors on Earth as they at at war with the humans. However when he meets Roxanne the new Ambassador to Alien Relations who is sharp witted, has a resolve of iron, is hard headed and obstinate he feels he has met his match in more ways than one. Can they work together, come to some kind of accord between their races and handle the doubts and deceptions that surround what they are trying to achieve? Can he also handle the fact that she is the woman for him and he loves her?
Lots of action in this story whether that was against humans, the A’li-uud, or within the races themselves. The love story between Dane and Roxanne was fairly quick as it was between Duke and Emily but it was nice to see they had a few issues settling into their relationship. Well written and an enjoyable read. Looking forward to reading the next story about Lokos.
Lokos 4*
-------
Celine is a nutritionist and is on the first ship of colonists travelling to to colonise Albaterra. Lokos is the War Chief of Albaterra’s mountain kingdom and a fearsome warrior. Then he meets Celine who enchants him with her defiant mood even though he tries hard to only help her with understanding the planet and it's customs but it is a battle he cannot win. Unfortunately her ship crashes as it arrives after being attacked by another race and they both become entangled in a fight to stay alive and stay together.
I liked this story where he was trying really hard to resist her but in the end the attraction was too much. There was plenty of danger and drama in the story with the Novai part of the story and I enjoyed the ending even though it was a little rushed.
Khrel 5*
-------
Lena is a life coach and has travelled to Albaterra in order to find a new purpose in her life. Khrel is the War Chief of one of the kingdoms and is focused on his job until he meets Lena and finds himself out of his comfort zone needing to know her. The Novai colony nearby is a source of danger after some rogues attack Lena and Khrel has to babysit her. When she tries to escape the isolation to find her friend she ends up being kidnapped by the Novai. When Khrel rescues her is signals a possible end to everything he has worked for – can they both come out of this with everything they want?
I really liked this story which had a great mixture of danger, drama and love as it developed between Khrel and Lena. The story was well written and I really enjoyed the drama and danger involved in the parts involving the Novai. I could feel some of the emotions they were going through and could empathise with them.
Zuran 5*
-------
Phoebe is a human nurse based in Ka-lik’et (which is in the Albaterran kingdom of Dhal’at) and is considered as one of the best. When she loses an important patient events quickly spiral into critically important events.
As a nurse, Phoebe has spent her career helping people. She knows it’s her calling and throws herself into tending to her patients heart and soul. In the city of Ka-lik’et, she is considered one of the best attendants amongst those in the human colony. When she loses the most important patient she’s ever had, though, a fuse is ignited that sends her spiralling into a course of events she never could have imagined. Zuran is a reformed criminal and the Interplanetary Affairs Officer for the Albaterran kingdom of Dhal’at. He meets the curvy, intelligent and incredibly compassionate Phoebe and is awestruck by how amazingly good a person she is. When the Novai who have also colonised Albaterra are struck with a unknown disease they are both thrown together in a desperate battle to save the colonists, ensure it does not spread to the other planet's inhabitants. As part of that journey they discover things about each other (and themselves) that had been hidden for a long time. As part of that journey can they saves their world, themselves, and find out that they actually need each other too?
I absolutely LOVED this story. You don't need to have read the earlier books in the series (however you may well find you have to go back and read them all). The story had lots of drama, danger, romance and mystery in this tale of love and how it can creep up on you when you are not expecting nor necessarily looking for it. Everything was well written and I could feel all the thoughts, frustrations and emotions felt by the characters in this story.
Venan 5*
-------
Octavia is a hairdresser on Albaterra and part of her job is to make people feel good about themselves. Venan is the latest Elder to join the council and is finally at the head of the kingdom he has devoted his life to protecting - that would be great apart from the controversial death of his predecessor, his previous imprisonment for his murder, and subsequent clearing. However he still feels criticism and disgust from the people he now leads. All that changes when he meets Octavia with her dark hair, dark eyes and open mind. So he asks her to dance and is even more captivated. She helps him onto a journey of self discovery as he learns about the priorities in life and how to get confidence again in his worth and his abilities, even though she unwittingly ends up in the middle of a family crisis which could prove deadly.
Wow - LOVED this story. It had so much romance and tenderness, which is a lovely surprise considering the serious and boring nature of Venan in the previous book about Zunan and the start of this book. It was very enjoyable how their relationship slowly built into friendship, respect, a form of partnership before it moved to a state of love and certainty of their feelings for each other. Everything was well written and the thoughts and emotions of the characters were easy to understand and feel. I loved the ending, I'm just very sad that it is the last story.

Venan is the latest Elder to join the council and is finally at the head of the kingdom he has devoted his life to protecting - that would be great apart from the controversial death of his predecessor, his previous imprisonment for his murder, and subsequent clearing. However he still feels criticism and disgust from the people he now leads. All that changes when he meets Octavia with her dark hair, dark eyes and open mind. So he asks her to dance and is even more captivated. She helps him onto a journey of self discovery as he learns about the priorities in life and how to get confidence again in his worth and his abilities, even though she unwittingly ends up in the middle of a family crisis which could prove deadly.
Wow - LOVED this story. It had so much romance and tenderness, which is a lovely surprise considering the serious and boring nature of Venan in the previous book about Zunan and the start of this book. It was very enjoyable how their relationship slowly built into friendship, respect, a form of partnership before it moved to a state of love and certainty of their feelings for each other. Everything was well written and the thoughts and emotions of the characters were easy to understand and feel. I loved the ending, I'm just very sad that it is the last story.

Albaterra Mates : The Complete Box Set (Book 1-7) DONE - post 11/14
By Ashley L Hunt
This series is a collection of 7 wonderful sci-fi standalone stories. Below are three selections from this set to give you an example of the awesome stories compiled for us here!
>>> Review of “Khrel” – Book 5 <<<
Khrel, a Pentaba War Chief, was patrolling the grounds near a Novai colony encampment. His own people were restless with this colony being among them. As he talked with one of his men, a loud boom and repeated bangs erupted from within the compound. Khrel sent Xam to bring back extra help while he investigated the situation.
Lena and her roommate, Isabelle, were out in the woods as well. The explosion frightened them and the two human women ran down the path to escape. Isabelle erroneously ran toward the awful sounds and, as Lena tried to grab her to turn her away, one of the ghostly-looking Novai jumped on her and knocked her to the ground. She fought and Isabelle kicked the creature in the side. Before the Novai could leap on her again, Khrel arrived and wounded it.
As they headed out to return the Novai to camp, it turned and leaped at Lena yet again! Khrel fired his weapon and was forced to kill it. Khrel carried the body to the Capitol to report to Elder Savani. The decision was made for Khrel to take Lena to his home to protect her. It was imperative that she survive to testify to the events of her being attacked like that. The Novai could not be allowed to stay if they had begun to attack defenseless humans.
Lena was concerned that Isabella not being protected, so Lena escaped Khrel’s home and tried to get back to Isaella. However, she was captured and taken into the Novai compound, and locked in a cage! There was fresh blood on the floor of the adjoining cage! The Novai were savagely shrieking and wildly dancing around a huge bonfire! Would Khrel be able to find Lena with no clues as to what way she had gone? Would the Novai sacrifice or kill her?
>>> Review of “Zuran” – Book 6 <<<
Zuran was Interplanetary Affairs Officer, a role given to him by Elder Kharid. His twin brother, Venan, was reprimanding him for leaving the compound to go for a run! He had a more important task to complete! Elder Kharid wanted Zuran to bring the healers from the colony to the palace for an important Council debriefing. He finally disclosed to his brother that an unidentified disease had broken out and was killing the Novai. The Council wanted it diagnosed and cured before it spread uncontrollably to the humans and the A’li-uud.
Phoebe was examining her patient, a carpenter, who had accidentally shot a nail through his palm. Zuran entered and gathered the medical staff to take them to the palace, but immediately a crazed Novai who had escaped caused chaos. The warriors chased after it.
Elder Kharid entered the room to reassure the medical staff. But the Novai had circled around and attacked them. Kharid was fighting them off when the warriors arrived and Venan thrust his sword through the almost-unstoppable Novai. Unfortunately, it passed through the beast and into Kharid’s chest! Despite Phoebe’s desperate and immediate attempt to save Kharid’s life, he does not survive. What will happen now? How will this affect the medical work ahead of them all? What will happen to Venan in the accidental killing of the Elder? And what was infecting the Novai?
>>> Review of “Venan” – Book 7 <<<
After accidentally causing the death of Elder Kharid during the apprehension of a crazed Novai, Venan is still blamed and hated by many of his people. He was cleared of the charge of killing Kharid, whom he was actually protecting, and was appointed as Kharid’s replacement. But even that wasn’t enough to clear his name in the eyes of many who continued to blame him for taking Kharid away from them. Now he was attending his twin brother’s wedding. He was encouraged by one of the guests to ask her friend to dance, but when his exiled sister unexpectedly appeared, he left Octavia standing alone on the dance floor and dragged his sister outside to reprimand her for coming to the wedding uninvited.
Three days later, Venan invited Octavia to the castle for dinner. They were attracted to each other, but neither made a move beyond polite conversation.
Venan and several of the other Elders went to talk with Pentaban Elder Sevani for a Council update on the Novai situation. The Novai survivors of the sun-sickness had apparently undergone surprisingly drastic physical changes after their illness! The Elders were surprised to find that the Novai -- instead of being pale, eyeless blobs -- now had hair, scales, visible eyes, and their speech was almost pleasant-sounding instead of their usual high-pitched screeches. The changes in them were amazing. Then Sevani asked a Novai male to change into his new “other” form! Amidst a loud roar, they watched as Belor changed into a dragon before their eyes!
I thoroughly enjoyed the last book of the series! We have a mystery about whether Octavia and Venan will ever begin a lasting relationship. We are told about the shocking physical changes in the volatile Novai that could mean serious trouble in the future. And we see how hostile some of the A’li-uud people treat Venan, even vandalizing the palace with black paint to disrespect him. How will the author tie up all of these issues to give the reader the HEA that all of these characters deserve? The wonderful story line will capture the reader’s imagination and take readers on an adventure to bring everything together -- but we know things are never simple. Here’s another chance for you to grab your copy and see what happens! You’ll be very glad you did!

This is a great box set!! I have read some of the single titles as they came out but now I can catch up with the rest.
Rex: Rex is an A’li-uud and an elder of his people. His people have been watching the humans on earth for hundreds of years and hiding their existence from them. Now four human ships have been spotted in their part of the galaxy with one very close to their planet. The elders have a meeting and decide to destroy the ships to keep their existence hidden.
Tabitha is a chef on the ship closest to Rex's planet. She is surprised when their ship suddenly gets hit by a missile and they crash on a planet. She is rescued by Rex an alien who proves there is life besides humans in the universe. Rex takes her back to his family's home after promising to rescue the other human survivors. Rex and Tabitha are drawn towards each other and she becomes friends with his family. However if news of her existence in his family's home gets out both Rex and Tabitha could be in trouble. Rex could be considered a traitor to his people.
Duke: Duke is one of the Council of Elders on Albaterra. He is angry that now the humans on Earth know of their existence and he believes that the A’li-uud should wipe them out in self-protection. He sees humans as greedy, dangerous and dishonorable. When the council votes to attack Eath, Duke goes with the troops even when being an Elder means he didn't have to go. He leads the attack fleet to Earth even after running into a military blockade in space. The A’li-uud ship destroy most of the ships and move onto Earth. Duke's ship lands in the desert.
Emily is a human and an artist. She is worried about the news of the aliens. She is spending the day in the desert painting when she sees an alien ship land. She is taken prisoner by Duke and brought back to the ship and placed in a cage. Over the month she is held there she becomes closer and closer to Duke. Duke was surprised by the feelings he has for Emily so much that he first thinks she is using magic. Will Duke be able to put aside his negative feelings for humans?
Zuran: Zuran is the Interplanetary Affairs Officer on Albaterra. One day he gets orders to collect the human healers in the colony to bring them to the head elder. There is a medical crisis and the elder wants to use the human healers as well as the Albaterran healers to find a cure for a mysterious sickness. Zuran gathers the human healers and takes them to the elder's palace. When they arrive, they hear there is a crazed Novai on the loose. Zuran and his brother leave the humans with the elder to hunt down the Novai. They finally find him attacking the elder and threatening the humans. Zuran's brother stabs the Novai with his sword but the sword continues on into the elder. The elder dies even with the human healers trying to save him and Zuran's brother is arrested.
Phoebe is a human nurse and is brought to the palace with the rest. She is confused and frightened but she is also drawn to Zuran. When the elder is killed, she does her best to save him but he is too far gone. She is later told that she and the other healers will be investigating an illness that is spreading among the Novai which makes them super aggressive and angry first, then the skin around their eyes rots, their skin changes colors and grows scales and then most die. Will they be able to find the answers to the sickness before it spreads to the other races on Albaterra?
Phoebe and Zuran because friends and then even more while they are searching for answers. Zuran is also concerned about his brother who may be executed for accidently killing the elder.
Venan: Venan is now an elder of his people which has been a dream of his for a long time. the problem is that his subjects are not happy to have him as their leader and still blame him for the death of the previous elder. Venan is heartbroken by his elder's death by his hand and is suffering from a lot of guilt. Everything in his life is wearing him down until he meets Octavia. Octavia is a human hair stylist who catches Venan's eye at his brother's wedding. Venan enjoys being with Octavia until he spots his estranged sister skulking around the wedding.
Octavia only came to the wedding and reception as a "date with her best friend" who doesn't want to go alone. Meeting the elder Venan is an honor and a temptation. She is very drawn to him but he's too important to spend time with a hair stylist. It seems like Venan has a different opinion. He keeps coming back to Octavia.
Venan is surprised how spending time with Octavia settles him down. Her tact and insight helps him to overcome paralysis due to brooding and over thinking. The self confidence he gains from talking to Octavia makes him into a better man and leader. She teaches him it is okay to please yourself sometimes. Listening to her advice helps him deal with the negative opinions others have of him

Love this series
I really loved how this series tied all the lives of Rex & Tabitha, Duke & Emily, Dane & Roxana, Lokos & Celine, Khrel & Lena, Zuran & Phoebe, and Venan & Octavia. I wish there was an epilogue that showed the birth of Rex, Duke, and Zuran's children and if the others had children too. I also wander what will happen to the Novai from the space ship. Will they come down to the planet to transform like their fellow Novai who where colonists on Albaterra before they and the Ali"uud go into space. Ms. Hunt has done another wonderful job of creating a world full of people that become real. Thank you for that. Now I'm on to your next new series about the Novai.

December 12, 2020Complete series - highly recommend
Written for mature readers only (18+ years old) primarily due to violence such as fighting, assault, kidnapping and death. There are a few semi-clean intimate scenes throughout the series, one to two per story, but nothing of an obscene or graphic nature.
The stories focus of developing the characters, background and building the story between the hero and heroine. There are a few grammatical errors, but nothing egregious or difficult to interpret. The infrequent issues are mainly word substitution such as “what” versus “with” or missing a word such as “a”, “or”, etc.

Nice Entertaining Alien Series
Good storyline, with aggresive twists and turns to the plot. We cascade from an a reactionary alien invasion of earth to a cooperative settlement of two colonizations to the said alien invaders planet. One human colony and then another alien colony, interspersed with romances between alien males and human females. There were enough action scenes, enough romantic scenarios, and interesting twists and turns to keep my attention. Enjoyed most of the way, recommended!!

twenty stars worthy
this boxed set was very, very good. all of the elders were interesting and different in outlook and way of going about taking care of their people. some were very likeable, others not so much. vi'den appears to be the kind grandfather who remains patient and kind in all situations that were come across in all of the stories. vi'den is always the deciding elder. it was interesting the younger elders were marrying the human women and the older elders seemed not to be married at all. these were all terrific stories.

For the Love of the Great Circle
Downloading this box set is a wonderful decision. All the stories within will make your heart flutter and put a smile on your face. Well, maybe not for everyone, but it did for me.
Hunt has created a new world of beings that are capable of destruction, creation and love. All the stories are tied together, but each one can stand alone. Once I started reading, I just couldn't put it down.
I highly recommend reading this series.

Great story
It's hard to get a complete picture of a world in one story but having several stories in different kingdoms gives a better view of the world and their interactions with others. Although we did get to see many places I wish we could have gotten other descriptions of areas that comprised their world.

Great series
I loved every one of the seven stories in this collection. It segues from one to the next flawlessly. My favorites were the first, third and last, mainly because I love seeing stoic men brought to their knees by love. If you love romance with a smattering of adventure, you're sure to love this.

This is an amazing series that holds you captive (after all we are human) to a race of alien warriors. Each one of these stories is so filled with captivating characters, compelling storylines and scotching chemistry that one book is just not enough reading at a time!!
November 15, 2017
All the Albaterra Mates in one great boxed set I will be re-reading this at a later date. Enjoyed this set from beginning to the end of the last bookI received a copy of this set and am voluntarily choosing to review it. .
December 17, 2017
OMG! This was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. From passion to hatred, indignation and furry,
releave and acceptance...everything I felt reading this set I felted to the extreme, no half ways I assure you. A must read, I recommend it 100 %.

Seven fantastic stories in this Complete Box Set. Bloody well worth it. Every character, every adventure, every trial will have you delving in to this book unable to put down just to dive in and lose yourself in the story.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

I didn't get very far into book 1 before I had to put this down and return it back to Amazon. Something just put me off. Not sure if it was the author's writing style or it just seemed like the characters were too flat for me. I didn't finish it.

Meh...this is ok. It really didnt hold my interest in Rex's book. I got through it but grudingly. I got a good deal on the set which is why I purchased. I might at some point read another of the set but not for now.

Snatch this set and read it.
I just finished reading this box set and I have to say you must read it. There is plenty drama, love and full of courage. I couldn't put it down and want more.

Love these books!!! Can't wait to read about the Novai.
The flow from one story to the next was great. Didn't feel like I missed anything. Wish there were more stories on Albeterra.

wow! just wow! Okay, some were better than others but altogether a five. I read them back-to-back and am so glad I did. I highly recommend although I will say the first book is rather long and not the best but hang in there....you won’t be disappointed.

I rated the previous stories in this series in my updates. Venan is 3 stars.
Don't let my rating stop you from reading this series. If you read reviews you will see that I am in the minority with this lower rating.

This is a fantastic series. I bought these as they came out and LOVED each one. From the human space craft crash to a skirmish on Earth. Each of these sexy and powerful males meet their mates during this volatile time on Albaterra. This set shows how different personalities handle the pressures of living with other species and finding their happily ever after. This is one series that I will read over and over again. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
