Once here, you never get to leave.
Kidnapped by aliens, now her best hope is the very man who betrayed her. It was bad enough losing her tearoom in Devon, England to her thieving partner who took everything, but now Janie Roberts has been kidnapped by aliens who call her by a name she doesn’t know and say she’s been convicted of murder.
Now she’s in a cage and en route to Prison Moon One, home to some of the worst scum in the galaxy, with the very man who betrayed her. If you can call the mountain of muscle with a chip in his head and armour welded to his body a man. Janie knows she won’t survive alone. She needs to trust this man who might be her enemy, but seems so determined to protect her.
He’s big, he’s scary looking. But right now he’s her only hope of survival.
He helped betray an innocent woman, but now his obedience chip is failing and he’ll do anything to keep her safe.
His name is Gladiator Kelskar Vespasian, chipped to obey, to kill without question and with a past he can’t remember. But with his obedience chip failing, memories of a more noble man in a past life are returning. The beast they made him into betrayed an innocent woman. The man he was before wants to right that wrong and save her, even at the cost of his own freedom.

Giving 2 stars because maybe it was just me, I wanted something quick, easy, with lots of scenes between the couple, let's face it that's what these alien romances are supposed to be, but 40% of the first half of the book was only two incredibly boring scenes!
Them in the cell on the ship and them climbing the mountain. It was so boring to drag through. Even the heroine says she doesn't know why anyone would be interested in watchng that, she should try reading it, it's even more boring.
I skimmed to get to them together, but there was only one a very short scene, a couple of sentences long. Oh and I believe the vikings used iolite as a navigational stone, to polarise filter the clouds so they could find the sun and therefore find their way, not kyanite as is said here.
As well as boring and dragging, this starts on a huge problem, with Kelskar letting them both be taken to the prison moon in the first place. I mean he says he's so strong that he could take out the two hunters, take their ship and fly them to safety, where he says Janie could bake to earn them a fortune, but no.
Instead he lets them get taken to the prison, where they'll always be under the threat of rape, torture and constant death, from infections, from having to always fight the other prisoners to survive, to get medicine, and where, even if he always wins, the corporation could take her from him any time they want! So the entire story was built on a huge plothole.
I still tried to go on but gave up unfinished. It might have been better if she'd actually wrote about things happening between the characters, because I liked the hero Kelskar, but it was just too boring to drag through. There's better prison planet books out there, like those by Emily Chandler.

Ice Heart by Alexandra Marell
A Prison Moon Series Novel
Janie Roberts' life took a hard turn for the worse. Thanks to her faithless boy-friend, she was losing her business and if that wasn't bad enough...someone is pulling a prank on her and it's not very funny. Accused of being some other women who murdered someone was bad enough...but the whole alien costumes is just over the edge.
Kelskar Vespasian was a gladiator. Thanks to a chip in his brain, he knew noth-ing of his past and only knew to obey his master. Fight and couple when told. And then he was sold and ordered to do other things. Suddenly, his chip is faulty and he's feeling guilt—remorse, over what he's done.
To correct his wrong, Kelskar has vowed to protect the woman he'd betrayed. If only his chip wouldn't choose when to work and not so he could remember what he's supposed to do. A really excellent and unique story line and great characters.
Lily Graison is writing in this series as well; they are all stand-alone books.

DNF.
I started off this series reading the books in different order, and this is my third one, but oddly enough I wasn't feeling this one. The story was fine I guess, but it didn't sucked me in or held my attention for long. I guess it's the typical IT'S ME, NOT YOU problem.
I enjoyed this author's other books, so I guess it's just me.

A real love story.
Loved this book, a real love story but set on a prison planet. I found myself really routing for the two main characters. This is the first book I’ve read by these two authors, I will definitely be reading more.

Amazing
Kelskar is such an amazing well developed character. I could feel his memories so clearly. Just wow. Tragically beautiful. I hope the other books mention them. I feel like thief story was cut short

Awesome Start for a New Series
It's a story packed with adventure, action, abduction, survival, evil corporate running the prison and a couple trying to survive? You don't be disappointed in any way and a must buy

DNF
DNF @ 36%. Choppy writing and cold characters. No clue who they really are and no connection. Two stars because I like the premise. Writing just fell flat.

Not for me-DNF
I just couldn't get into this one. I didn't relate to Jackie and I just didn't like the story. Not for me.
