Elle Embraced

Brides of the Aashi #5

by Belle Harper

I’m Elle.

I applied to a job ad and ended up on an alien planet.

It was exciting.

Aliens existed, and I was now mated to two of them. But a big blue guy came and rescued my friend Jessica. Sanza seems lost and alone… I wanted to make him smile.

Only he was harder to crack than I thought, he wanted to go home. To his home world. I wanted that for him so bad. But I also wanted to be his family, just like I had lost mine. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and tell him "everything will be okay."

But would it? A M’Mori ship flew over us and fear spread through the camp.

I expected Sanza to run. To get away from the M’Mori who enslaved him here on Aarzyn. What I didn’t expect was him to run towards them…

This book is Reverse Harem. Sexy Aliens with four-arms and tails... what more could you want?

Well, after Jessica's book ended on some kind of a cliffhanger I expected this one would kind of just attach itself there in the plot. I did not expect to have to read 20chapters, aka 75% of the whole book, which btw is ridiculously short, to get on with the whole story. Some minor glimpse back into Elle's journey to Clan Wolf would have been enough and then some more in depth relationship development and deeper character building. But no, nothing of the sort. I don't like her at all. She is superfluous, naive and well, dumb. Even the shallow descriptions of Carub and Sanza have more to them than Elle. And the plot is non existent. There is some major Migration and uprooting and background Drama going on and we don't get anything about that. But we get Tool Box Sex scenes I really could have gone without. Ugh. This feel as if Miss Harper is not in the mood for the Aashi anymore. Sad. As this world has so much to offer.

Elle's story is here and it is just as good as the others. So Elle was with the girls when the landed and went with the chosen people she was to be with. Only it did not work out the way. She decided to find the rest of the girls that came with her. Elle has chosen her own mates Marin and Zurcov, they want her to pick a warrior but while they are traveling she is taking her time. She meets Carub on the way and helps him when he is hurt. It was sweet and endearing. Then she meets Sanza when she gets to the Wolf Clan. This one is tricky because he lost everything before her. She is trying to help him move on. She is not pressing the matter but feelings do come with the amount of time spent. I gotta say that Carub takes her feelings into consideration and it was worth the wait. Oh my word does the ending worth it all as well. I mean it vibrates. Lucky girl doesn't need accessories. His is built in. Which one is that. You will need to read to find out. I hope to read more about the brides of Aashi. This is such a great series. You never know what you will get when you start reading.

2/5⭐️
2/5🌶

The racing pace from the last book has only increased, and now there’s added time skips that aren’t well-communicated. Even the editing was confusing, as there’s a moment where Elle says years have passed, but she’s still pregnant? A lot of this was also just rehashing a lot of the same stuff that happened in the last 2 books from a different perspective. I skimmed and skipped over a bit of it because it was so boring.

And sadly, the spice took a decline as well. We got one scene that was maybe a page total with her 3rd mate, and no scenes at all with the last mate (arguably my favorite). I also felt like her first two mates never really got much page-time. They were constantly just lurking in the background. I can’t even remember their names.

All in all, I was a little disappointed. Hopefully the next one will be better.

I enjoyed the book, but most of it was the story from the previous one, just from different perspectives. It would be better if we saw more of Elle, her mates and two prospective ones than rehashing of all that happened with Jessica.
Elle was fine, I liked that she was apprehensive of the biggest men, but completely overlooked that fear for Sanza and Carub. They were both huge, yet their personality made her at ease with them. All of her mates were sweet and caring, Marin and Zurcov were open to a little more kinkiness than most of the Aashi guys from previous books. I don't know if I'd like their exhibitionist way of fucking everywhere, but you do you Elle, Marin and Zurcov ;)
Carub was adorable, I was sad that he didn't get more scenes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Elle Embraced follows Elle as she comes to terms with her new life on an alien planet and the love she’s found with two mates. Her relationship with the stoic Sanza, who’s reluctant to embrace his new life, creates emotional tension and depth. The dynamic between the characters is both touching and steamy, with Elle’s desire to help Sanza overcome his fears adding a layer of vulnerability to the story. The introduction of outside threats, such as the M'Mori ship, adds an element of suspense to the romance, making for a thrilling and heartwarming read.

Enjoyable…but short

I really enjoy the characters in this series. I would actually like to have it expanded on. We don’t get caught up to the end of book 4 until we are in the last 25 pages of this one. It is more in parallel of the other stories which is frustrating. I also wish we would have seen more of Carub and more of their story but we only get a few interactions and then he’s one of her mates.

75% book is repetition of previous book ' Jessica '

I was literally skipped pages after pages as more then 75% of the book is repeated word by word from 'Jessica '. Only last quarter of the book has new twist, cliffhanger again. I guess I'm only reading it because I want to know how Aashi's going to fight with M'Mori.

mmmmmmmmmmm...
Me da bronca que la historia tenga tanto potencial y que esté mal llevada. En esta novela no se avanza nada a diferencia de la anterior. Repite escenas y diálogos. Además de que no nos cuenta cómo conoció Elle a sus primeros dos galanes (requería un buen flashback eso, no solo "pasó después de que", pero en fin).
Uno de los galanes no me gusta nada.

purple- blue- fins

Elle Embraced is book five in the series Brides of the Aashi by author Belle Harper. This one is full of lots of adventures and sexy mates. Some truths have come to light and not is all that it seems. The good guys aren’t good guys and the bad guys well let’s just say not all are bad. The spice level is high and buns are in the oven.
Enjoy!!

***I want my own aashi***

I loved all your stories but Elle is special because im like her, im always attracted to big broken men 😅 im always wanting to fix them, help them and hug them. Im glad Elle mate Carrub i think he is my favourite aww 🥰

[Mariela Medina · Rating 5 out of 5]

si bien la historia avanza lentamente debido al recuento de lo que pasó hasta ahora desde diferentes perspectivas, me gustaron las escenas con sus compañeros y cómo uno de ellos eligió avanzar y seguir con ella en lugar de concentrarse en la venganza

Great book

Why Amazon insist on 20 words for a review via kindle, I don't know. Especially when I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book.

Elle is the sweetest she love to fix broken men literally lol anyone who is sad and lonely she gravitates to them. She has two chosen aashi with her while travelling to clan wolf and met and helped an outcast aashi who got beaten up because he came too closed to the females and fix his broken tail. His name is Carrub a gentle giant. Anyway they reached clan wolf and she met Sanza a blue zaali slaves who run away from the m'mori mines. Anyway Elle was devastated when Sanza went all rambo and tried to avenged his family and his people but thanks to Carrub he realised that he loves Elle more than revenge. Thank u Belle for another beautiful story.
