Immersed

League #2

by Liz Craven, Elizabeth Craven

One would think being sister-in-law to a planetary sovereign would be an advantage. It isn't. Ilexa Dhakir hopes volunteering for a medical exchange program will allow her to use her healing gifts freely. Instead, she finds herself under the watchful eye of her brother's oldest friend, Thane Msaka. The handsome warrior no longer resembles the straight-laced soldier she's known most of her life, but his rampant effect on her libido hasn't changed. Having surrendered his military commission and returned to traditional tribal life, Thane's irritation with babysitting duty goes further than trying to protect Ilexa from the havoc she wreaks. He wants her with a ferocity he can't explain, even though he knows he shouldn't. When it becomes clear some tribe members will do anything to get rid of her, Thane has to battle people of his blood to protect the woman of his heart. Warning: Contains adult language, sexual content and a stubborn, smart-mouthed heroine. As always, reading anything by Liz Craven may be hazardous to your sanity. (This novel is a re-release.)

About the author

Hi. My name's Liz, and I'm a recovering lawyer. For as long as I can remember, I've entertained myself by creating stories in my mind. Some made me laugh. Some made me cry. All made me appear emotionally disturbed to the people around me. After practicing law for a couple of years, I returned to school to pursue yet another degree (I didn't feel I was deep enough in debt). There, I rediscovered the joy of being bored to tears in class. One day, instead of taking notes on thermohaline circulation, I jotted down some dialogue running through my head. (My mid-term results were not pretty.) I haven't stopped writing since.

Ilexa Dhakir, sister-in-law of the reigning sovreign of planet N’yota, healer, is in a medical exchange program to Dunia, where she once again meets up with Thane, best friend of her oldest brother Talon.

Ilexa has loved Thane since she was a little girl but knows he can feel nothing for her, because she is not a warrior and he comes from a fierce warrior caste.

Of course, things are not always what they seem and it takes no time for Thane to realise she is the one.

Various trials and tribulations later everyone is happy.

I love the way Liz Craven has written this series and I am looking out for her other work.

A truly enjoyable read

I was happy that Mz Craven wrote this book , especially as Ilexia and Thane had such chemistry in book one.

Is this a sci fi romance masterpiece? No....but like the previous book it is all about the characters . These books are not the usual books labeled scifi romance that emphasizes sex over character development.

It has been years since but I wish she would have written more books.
There is so much potential to explore this Interplanetary League Universe and the people who inhabit it.
It's a shame.

[Book Utopia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd rather give this 3.5 but I loved the first book in this series so much, I'll round this up. I preferred the politics and the world-building in this to the romance, but once I got past the slow start (I had the hardest time getting into this), I eventually grew to care about both the leads.

Nice, steady romance
