When a routine mission goes wrong, a broken human and a conflicted alien have to fight an evil enemy and their hearts to be free.

Blaze Floridian knows one thing for certain: Eden Franco is trouble. Hot, tempting trouble. She makes him want something he never thought possible. Soul-consuming love. But there are two things standing in his way of bliss: Eden's resistance, and his obligation to his family.

If he pursues Eden, he'll destroy his family's trust and break a promise he always intended to keep. But after Eden fire-balled into his life, everything changed.

Never trust a nice guy. Eden learned that the hard, brutal way after her heart got crushed by 'Mr. Nice Guy.' Her partner on the Apocalypse, Blaze, is so charming he can't be for real. Sure, he's gorgeous, loyal, and protective of her, but it's an act. Once he gets her in bed, he'll walk away just like they always do. If only she could stop thinking about him, life would be sweet.

During a trip to Tiavac to deliver endangered animals to their new sanctuary, they're ambushed by the Pecket. Barely escaping, they think they're safe on the sanctuary planet. The Pecket have other ideas. Eden is captured, Blaze is injured, and the animals are in danger.

Can anything protect Blaze and Eden's hearts when they realize how much they'll lose if the enemy wins?

Owned is book three in the Apexian Warrior sci-fi alien romance series. Expect smoldering kisses, action, adventure, and cute alien creatures.

A sci-fi romance of friends to more. Eden is a biologist and is on the hunt for a specific reptile. She does this to find endangered animals and bring to a safer location where they won’t be hunted and killed. But will hopefully find a mate and help increase the population of their species. At her side is Blaze, an Apexian Warrior that would lay down his life to protect her. The story shows the depth and sometimes lack of depth in their relationship as friends. They both are hiding secrets. But doing their job always comes first. There will be plenty of space fighting, adventure, pain but also romance. Can’t wait to read more of this series.

I really enjoyed the first two books, but this one not so much. I had been anticipating Eden and Blaze's story, but I was left I little disappointed as I expected more. 3 stars are for action and the ending of the story during the video-call with Blaze's family, which was fun. I felt that this story really dragged on and on, repeating again and again how much Blaze wanted her and how much she wanted him but was afraid to admit it. I think that this book had potential but it wasn't developed very well and thought of.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Life Match

Blaize and Eden were so good together but I really couldn’t stand the way he internalized his decision about her or his family. It was a no brainer if he would have just told his parents the truth. I loved the action scenes and the world building. The job that the Apocalypse does really intrigues me.

Excellent!

This 3book series has been very good but this third one has excelled. If this had been a movie it would have kept me on the edge of my seat! Can't wait for more!
