Praesidio Corp #2
Mating Sight
So...Earth was invaded by Aliens. That happened. I’m not joking. Fortunately for us, Humans developed latent abilities that enabled us to defend and protect our planet. We call ourselves the Praesidio. Years later the world is not the same. We know we are not alone in the universe. There are dangerous things lingering in the darkness.
Anabel
Kidnapped by an Alien after getting attacked by Space Pirates on her way to a new Planet. Yeah...Anabel wasn’t having a good day. Fortunately for her she was a glass half-filled, spunky kinda-girl and she ends up roaming free on a trading planet where things get weird. Poop-Aliens, Snake-babies and a sexy Laren Admiral ensure she never gets a moments peace. Oh...and did she mention she’s now mated to that sexy Admiral.
Warning: This book is a science-fiction alien romance. It contains swearing, violence, sensual sex scenes. It's definitely recommended for readers aged 18 and over.

Empaths are not to be trifled with
Anabel climbed into that horrible travel goop but woke up in a cell. Still groggy when her captor brings in the meal tray and clothes, she doesn't get to ask why she's there. Or who he is. Next time, though, she gets his attention, leaves him howling on the floor and runs out to lock him in. The ship is friendly but without codes can only go to preset destinations. So, she picks a planet and prepares for an adventure. Tiger-bears, and toxic fairies, and demon aliens, oh, my.
Spoilers ahead.
I loved that while Anabel was a cheerful, softer personality, she was not weak. And that her ability had offensive as well as defensive methods. Empaths are not to be trifled with. And, as an added bonus, she handled the entire stranded on a strange planet deal on her own. She learned what she needed to, made plans, protected herself and made friends. In fact, the Laren admiral didn't show up until almost 40%. Then we start back with the dissenters among the Laren, the traitors, the visions of another Kraith attack. Feeling the less than warm welcome by the purists puts a damper on an empath's mood. Although, the ones who want to get too close aren't much better. Lab rat isn't a good look for anyone. We discover one of the traitors, but the book stops there. We haven't found the whole web, just a couple anchor points. I'm curious to see where book 3 leads us. One, 1.5 and 2 are all connected characters. Book 3 introduces all new. We still experience time skips. Book 1 could have been an anomaly, 1.5 was a behind the scenes filler so I forgave it, but book 3 operated the same way. Skipping through bonding moments puts a spotlight on the main plot. Something that is moving very slowly. And we aren't seeing that investigation, either. The first half of the book was fun, though.
The editing is still slippery. Not all possessives need apostrophes, of/off style oopsies abound, and tenses are still back and forth.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! 5 STARS!!!
This is a great addition to the series. I loved Anabel - she is quirky and fun, her ability is Empathy and she embraces it. Her personality is softer but not weak-willed or damsel in distress. I liked that this was a more humorous book and had to fight not to laugh out loud when reading in public.
The story picks up right where Anabel is kidnapped. We go on a harrowing adventure to a trading planet where Anabel realizes just how big the universe is and how not-alone humans are. We meet some interesting species and Anabel makes unlikely friends.
Her mate is the Admiral that was sent after her - Cassian - he is all alpha male hotness but is not overbearing. I liked the hidden sweetness underneath his exterior.
There is much more subtle hidden drama to this where we get glimpses of the problems to come in the series. I really hope the next book is the one about the spy going to earth!

Lots of Fun
Smartly written, immensely engrossing and such wicked fun. I seriously doubt the Laren males realize exactly what they are getting when they experience the Mating Spark with the human women. Trouble seems to follow the women wherever they go through no fault of their own. It's up to their alpha mates to see to their safety and their well-being, even if the women and their extraordinary abilities make them more than capable of defending themselves. The author has a wonderful ability to make you feel as if you are totally immersed into each alien world. I especially love the banter between the humans as they consider themselves not only siblings but friends.

Can't wait!!!!
Not sure if I left a review for the first book, but both books and the novella are amazing! Ava has done a great job with world building and structure that one really feels like they are watching a movie. Some areas did have duplicates of words here and there but not much. Editing was pure perfection other wise. I can't wait to read more from this series. And based off of the epilogue I know who might be next ;)

Are you bored with what your reading???????
If u are, and u like Scifi u will really like this book. It is great, has romance, action, and is even funny at times. It is not my usual type of READing, but it was really good. It is a lot different th a n a regular romance, it never is slow or boring, lots of action. The characters are great a t, the author added different animals to make it even more interesting. If u need to read a entertaing book this is it.

I liked all the pages about Anabel and her skills with animals, even alien animals. All the beginning was very interesting. Her relation with the admiral was great too.
The writing is good, but in my opinion, the story could have been shorter. But I liked that not all Laren are happy with the arrival of humans, even if they know that they are in trouble (extinction is a real possibility).

Really liked it
This book is a wonderful blend of humor, suspense, empathy and steamy times. I really loved all the different creatures Anabel interacts with. My one regret is I read this one first. I should have started with the first book. Still, a wonderful read. Bring on the next.

Strength and sweetness rolled into one sassy heroine!
Great continuation of the storyline with increasing depth to the series. Loved the heroine whose unique gifts gain a motley crew of loyal (as well as dangerous) friends while leading to unexpected places.

Loved this book
From the first chapter to the last this is one of my favorite books. I loved the "beasties" and the subplot that connects to the other books. I cannot wait to read more in this series.

Mating Sight
Loved the heroine. She is hilarious. Smart, empathic and loyal. And I loved her beasties and fairy. Her mate is a great character also.

I was in the mood for a little sci-fi, paranormal story and this fit the bill. The story was cute and engaging.
