He'd found his match at last.
Humility. It was an odd name, a name that Kave had repeated to himself over and over again. His DNA match was everything he had expected her to be when he requested her. Her survival skills made her worthy of Athen’s clan. Too bad she’d stabbed him in the chest the moment they’d met.
When the Ministry of Alien Affairs had come knocking at her door, offering her a deal she couldn’t refuse, she seized on the possibility to heal her war damaged father. Now she only had to convince her new alien husband to pull the right strings. Kave probably wasn’t going to be very cooperative with her knife stuck in his chest.
Can Kave and Humility overcome their unfortunate first encounter to start and heal the family they have always wanted to have?

Fabulously funny alien romance
Kave is Abigail Myst's third entry in her Warriors of Etlon series, and it just keeps getting better. Kave, short for Kavendish, is the second in command at the Etlon warriors outpost on tropical Noven 90. Since his warlord is still on the homeworld with his very pregnant mate, that means Kave gets to deal with the warriors, and all their human mates, and all the chaos that goes with merging Etlon and human cultures. Plus, the matings have been so successful their quiet backwater world is awash in pregnancy cravings and males who prefer satisfying those cravings - as opposed to drill and discipline. It's Camp Runamok, and in the middle of it all, Kave manages to send for a mate. Humility has been through enough chaos on her own, with being her dying father's caregiver and the de facto matriarch of her crazy dysfunctionally lovable French Canadian family. She's volunteered for the Bride Draft because alien tech can save her father's life, and because they'll pay her family millions. And because she can get away and live her own life, even if it means an alien husband. So when husband-to-be - Kave - doesn't meet her at the landing pad, things go south on the ROTFLOL express. Starting with her stabbing him - and him being impressed! It gets funnier, crazier, and more chaotic as Kave and Humility's adorably misguided attempts at bonding are complicated by everyone else's adorably misguided attempts to be good warriors and/or good mates. I was grinning from page one, but by Chapter nine I was howling with mirth and completely in love with Kave, Humility, and the entire ensemble cast, many of whom reprise their roles from books one and two. Abigail Myst's smoothly understated style and her wickedly deadpan humor form the platinum setting for this jewel of an alien SF rom-com.

I really enjoyed this story, almost as much as Athen’s (I liked Odette better than Humility, but both are endearing characters). Kave is a strong, sweet, fierce yet slightly lackadaisical warrior (yummy green alien, yes please!) with a new mate, Humility. She is a fairly self-sufficient individual whose focus is on getting help for her ill father, and I couldn’t help but both cringe and laugh when she stabbed Kave upon first meeting him. Towards the end of the book I was a little perturbed with her attitude but then things turned around again. I love this whole story world the Starr Huntress writers have created, and I have particularly enjoyed the Etlon crew so far. I can’t wait to read the next book!

He left her sitting n the jungle for 3 days? I know these are fun light reads not to be taken to serious but that went too far even for me. I’ve always said it’s fine to make the aliens act odd but humans are human and honestly she’s stuck on a planet she knows nothing about but she found water (and it was safe to drink) she found leaves (that weren’t poisonous) to eat and she even managed to know what animal to hunt and eat? (With a convenient pocket knife). Oh and then this supposed brilliant woman fell for the oldest con in the book ... if we have sex I’ll heal faster?
To be honest if this were on KU i would probably try reading another but it’s not so I won’t.

A delightful alien rom-com!
The book's humor kicks in the second Kave and Humility meet. She tries to stab him, and instead of being mad, he's completely charmed.
The humor of the story perfectly highlights the absurdity of an Etlon warrior outpost filled with pregnant human mates and their distracted partners.
A great read for anyone looking for a romance that combines a sweet and fierce MMC with a hilarious and self-sufficient FMC, and a plot that leaves you grinning until the end.

Kave
I was honestly a little disappointed in this book in the series and I love the Warlord Bride series. I don't think this book was edited at all. And it was kind of dull, rushed. Definitely not my favorite.
