Salvaged Hearts #1
Her Alien Alpha
He’s trouble. He’s dangerous. He’s hunted.
And now he’s got me, he won’t let go.
I'm not in space to meet a man. The crew of the Ladies’ Choice left Earth to work without distractions, so we have a rule: no men on board. That rule went out of the airlock when I found Delkor.
An alien cyborg, locked in stasis for decades since the Big War. Leader of the rebels who took down an Empire. A smoking-hot alien alpha with a robot arm and a voice that melts me every time he speaks.
But he's as valuable as he is dangerous. The local gang bosses are powerful and will do whatever it takes to control Delkor, putting me and my crew in danger as long as he's with us.
Maybe walking away would be the smart thing to do, but I don’t have that option. Delkor wants me as much as I want him, and what he wants, he takes.
Her Alien Alpha is book one of the Salvaged Hearts series. Each book is a complete science fiction romance story with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happy ending guaranteed.

Captain Carrie Ferrow of the “Ladies’ Choice” was having a wonderful dream of a handsome alien who grabbed her and wrapped his tail around her. There was no fear, just desire for him. Then her comm bracelet buzzed and woke her. The ladies had a “no men on board” rule, and now, just 3 months into the journey and she regretted that rule when a dream had her drooling over a non-existent man. Their carrier ship was approaching their destination and soon they would arrive at Nautilus Station to start their new lives. Bella (engineer), Alice (language expert), and Michaela (security expert) joined her on the bridge. Lily (pilot) and Jen – the remaining crew members -- ran in, late as usual. Before them was Nautilus Station above a flaming planet called Inferno, previously known as “Kilesh Vehn’d” before the civil war that set it on fire. For the next year, the Station was their home. Their salvage contract would show they were under Drall Syndicate’s protection and they hoped that was enough to keep them safe.
The gangs on Nautilus Station controlled the export of salvaged valuables, so making any real money meant working with one of them. They were loan sharks and would take most of their profits. But they had no choice.
Delkor, pack-alpha and a Caibar warrior for the Empire, woke in a tight dark space, unable to move anything at all, and not just because of the tight space. Nothing worked. He remembered he was in stasis but not why. His thoughts were fuzzy. Then he recalled he was not the Empire’s warrior but rather a rebel against the Empire. They had all been betrayed. Delkor is the alien cyborg leader of the rebels who took down the Empire, locked in stasis for decades since the Big War. And he thought of the mate he had not met yet but yearned for. She was smaller than a Caibar female, tailless, soft, with green eyes, red hair, and pale skin. Not at all like the Caibar. Then his eyes closed and he went back into stasis.
Michaela alerted Carrie that she saw something new on the scanners, but it was difficult to be certain with all the interference. Probably just another ghost in the sensors – but Carrie bet her $10 it was something more. And when they got to it, it was Vehn (Empire) warship tumbling end over end, hidden deep in the planet’s radiation bands. And unless it could still fly, it was too big for them to take back with them – this one was the Vehn Flagship Golden Duke Lyian! They boarded it and followed an active power source right to a fully intact and functioning escape pod! It might even contain one of their officers! Whoever was inside would have to be awakened so they could sell the valuable functioning pod and get out of debt completely! Were they in danger awakening the cyborg? Would the gangs try to steal their treasure – including the occupant of the pod? And would the odd feelings Carrie had when she looked at the handsome cyborg convince her she was his mate?
This was so good, and so much more is going on that I didn’t get to write! The characters are well-portrayed, the story line tense and intriguing. Grab your copy and enjoy every moment of excitement in this fantastic book!

This is the first book of the series and what a great start I loved it, it had it all Hot Alien check, evil villains check, women working in a mans world check, working in space check, hot chemistry between Carrie and Delkor check, lust, love and fated mates check. I loved the whole story line and all the characters had there parts to play, Carrie is the captain of the Ladies Choice spaceship and her crew are all women Michaela, Alice, Bella, Lily, Jen but are friends as well and they know and trust each other wholeheartedly. Working on Nautilus station as salvagers or scavengers to some but when they come across a abandoned spacecraft the go to check it out and what Carrie finds in an escape pod will change her life forever and that of her crew. Delkor has been in statis for far to long because he is dreaming of his mate but doesn’t know what kind of alien she is but he can feel her near. What happens when Carrie opens the pod in front of a group of men trying to take it away from her. I’m giving away to much, just get this book you will enjoy it.

This sci-fi romance was cleanly written and well edited, with no typos that I could discern. The world building was vibrant and exciting, the characterization of the hero and heroine was competent, and the plot was action packed and exciting. I read this novel quickly in one sitting because I wanted to find out what would happen next. The salvage ecosystem, with the syndicates and the ruins of the Empire, was super interesting to read about. I loved how alpha the hero of this novel was. This novel uses the Fated Mates trope, which is one oof my favorite tropes. The angst in this novel was pretty low and the external stakes were really high, which is one of my preferred narrative structures for romance novels. The novel ending on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus if the author continues the pattern for the rest of the series. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy space opera romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

There was just a lot I really liked about this book. It's almost a world where the entire universe is in a dystopian state. Despite the advanced technological state of most planets, there is a known planet where the location is unknown, and the facts of the relatively recent history is vague and largely unknown. This sets up a great mystery that keeps the reader at close attention. While we don't get a close view at these differing cultures the ladies interact with during this book, it is clear there is a proper wealth of cultural difference that would exist in such a vast universe; and it certainly sets up more promise for later installments.
Delkor is a great character; he's the alpha male who is well trained in violence, but he's intelligent and properly reflective and observant. He's willing to consider alternatives and treats Carrie and her crew with respect and as equals. He observes them and recognizes their talents, even though they differ greatly from his typical worldview. He's willing to give them a chance and doesn't completely dismiss them as being less than he is, just different. Carrie is also open to Delkor as a person, once he shows he's not going to kidnap and murder her or course ;) She treats the whole absurd situation of being the fated mate of a long-cryo'd individual by considering her own feelings and Delkor's behavior.

I really enjoyed this one. Carrie and her friends leave earth to join a salvage base in an attempt to find a better life away from the cesspool that their planet had become. In a stroke of luck they find a wrecked ship and a stasis pod holding Delkor. Rather than let Delkor fall into the wrong hands, Carrie wakes him up and they make their escape. This was an interesting and fun storyline and I look forward to the next one!! Lots of action and great dialogue. My only complaint is that Delkor goes immediately from learning Carries language, with the help of his implant, to automatically knowing the words for clit and pussy. Just a little too convenient in my opinion, but still an enjoyable book. Great job!

Carrie and her all female crew have left Earth to make their way collecting, scavenging whatever they can collect and sell. They bought a salvage contract and are setting up base on Nautilus Station to make their fortune. Of course, things are not going to go as well as they had hoped. But they did find a cat. They work hard, but they aren't finding much which doesn't help pay off their debt.
Delkor of the Caibar, pack-alpha and warrior for the Empire is in stasis when the women find his stasis chamber on the Vehn flagship adrift near a gas giant. When he wakes up, will he be friend or foe?
This was a tense, exciting book that had many realistic struggles of a captain being pulled between her crew and her lover. They had set out to be independent women eschewing men, but will that work out?

A top notch crazy sci-fi romance that will having you falling in love with this book. I hope she has more coming. Because honestly it didn't sound like that was the end of this book. Well written, but would love to see a book about the warriors before they are found ♡
Carrie is the captain of the space ship called Lady's Choice. Their mission at the moment is to clear a past debt from the predecessor of the ship. So collecting valuable scrap metal or technology that hopefully still works is the big key. Then jet off into the sunset doing what they want too, instead of have a loan shark up their butt about money. If only they can find something really really valuable....
He's been sleeping for decades in a stasis pod. Having dreams of his mate and possibly returning to his home planet with his pack of warriors.

This was a fairly good, sci-fi, insta-love/fated-mates story. Things started out a bit slow, but quickly escalated. I did not like the feeling of despair and hopelessness that permeated much of the book. And I thought the ladies, especially Carrie, really gave Delkor the short end of the stick many times. Even after he repeatedly proved his good intentions to them. Things eventually resolve themselves enough that the two main characters at least get their implied happily-ever-after; and everyone else has a happy-enough-for-now vibe, while presumably waiting for more of Delkor's pack to surface.

Book one in the Salvaged Hearts a well written story that kept me turning pages. I want to read the next book. The crew of the Ladies’ Choice left Earth with a couple of rules and one of them was No Men on board. The free Delkor an alien cyborg from a stasis pod and Captain Carrie Ferrow ends up being his mate. The story has suspense, drama, danger, evil aliens, a abandon cat, a crew of Earth women who fight to stay together, and romance.

There have been some really good alien stories coming out lately and this is one of them, I love these two authors and when they write an alien romance you can be sure that there’s plenty of action, adventure, suspense, danger and of course the passion you will be hooked just like me. I love it when it’s just a ship of women and it’s Carrie’s ship called the Lady’s Choice she finds a man/ cyborg in stasis he’s very valuable so what will she do?. Loved this story it’s a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

A cool story, easy to get lost in! I loved so many things about this book. It's the start of a cool new sci-fi series. The characters are complete and feel real. The story itself is super interesting, I had trouble putting it down. The all-girl crew shows the strength of women as independent heroines, which is the coolest part of the book. There's a lot of action, the bad guys are creepy and abundant, but they persevere and don't need a man to save them, Rock on Juno Well, this book is fantastic!
February 25, 2020
Rule - No men on board. That worked well until Captain Carrie found Delkor. Poor Alien cyborg has been in stasis for decades. Nice smoking hot alien. He valuable, dangerous and powerful. The story was good, the characters even better and the story doesn't end on a cliffhanger. Wonderful adventure. I can't wait till the next book comes out.

Salvage can be hot!
This reads as a stand-alone, but this could be the start of a fun series
Nice plot, great characters, lots of bad guys which get thrashed when the ‘salvage’ and ladies crew work together
...and if you want more then download for a great read..

I was given a copy of this novel for an honest review. The premise was interesting if not new, but the characters involved are sympathetic and drag you in. Once I finished the story, I wanted the next stage of this universe to be ready - so kudos to the author!

Enjoyable and entertaining read. Plenty of intrigue and action to keep you hook from beginning to end. I also liked the chemistry between Carrie and Delkor. This reads like a standalone, but I hope not this could be a great start for a new series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

I liked this book very much. There was constant action, there was romance, the story was solid, the characters were interesting and, to be honest, I found it more original and distinct than other books of this genre. I will definitely read the rest of the series!

Awesome Start for a New Series
The book was awesome and kept you at the edge of your seat from start to finish. It's packed with adventure, action, a female crew, mobster aliens, drama, love, and sexy scenes that are hot but not over the top with awesome characters? Definitely a must buy and so ready to read the next book in the series?

Fantastic Start to a New Series
I love fated mate alien romances and have read many. This is one of the best. A strong woman, an intelligent alpha who is not in the least bit sexist, and a great plot with lots of action. Looking forward to the next book.

It was an ok read. Believable and fast paced. But did not feel the connection. Seemed like the female lead fell in lust super quick. No buildup. One minute she rescues him and a hour later...sex. Like my hero’s to work for it.

Good read
Great start can't wait for the next book! Carrie and her crew found Delkor in a stasis tube. All of them had quite an adventure that was dangerous as well as exhilarating. Enjoy
