Wynnter
My spirit mate had eyes for another, yet her spirit called to mine. While my ancillary heart pumped andrenalyne through my veins, I warred with my instincts to pummel the male she favored, but her preference can't be forced. She must choose me.

Another battle takes precedence to mine when an unimagined conflict wages in the sky above us. The clouds burned with the battle as their ash rained down on our heads, making my role in the survival of my species paramount. It was vital that I tempered my rage, so I could work together with the male I wanted to thrash.

Rose
A nerdy girl from the inside out, I had never been faced with having two males vying for my attention. Never considered a pretty girl, it's both strange and exhilarating to feel so desired. Who should I choose? The male I've grown attached or the newcomer who called to my soul?

There was no time to savor my novel situation. With the safety of so many resting on the success of our mission, I must set aside my personal needs until later. For now, the three of us must work together as a team to penetrate the dome so the warriors can retake the city of Huren.

**2.7/5 stars**

I had purposefully put off reading this for about a couple months as I wasn't really excited by the premise. I wasn't looking forward to the fact that the main character, Rose had had a 'relationship' with one of the warriors of Valose, Zikkar (or bedmate as she called him), before meeting her Spirit mate, Wynnter. As the tribe's techs, all three are tasked to find a way to breach the dome protecting the city of Huren. Once the task achieved, the united tribes will be able to infiltrate the city, go straight to the castle to rid it from the Gretolics, and save all the Valosian warriors who are subjected to their mind control.

It was only tolerable to read, as I hated the fact that Rose was still so hung up on Zikkar. Wynnter being her Spirit mate, it would've been normal to feel a big switch in attraction. Yet, for maybe half the book, she kept saying that Wynnter wasn't her type, that she preferred a more level-headed and calm mate (like Zikkar). Had Zikkar not stepped away (because of him finding his own Spirit mate/Rowan) when Wynnter entered the picture, I'm convinced Rose would've kept sleeping with Zikkar. I just hate that idea. And when Rose realized Wynnter may be her Spirit mate, she kept trying to convince herself that she could refuse the bond and stay with her 'boyfriend', even though previously, she'd been envying the girls who'd found their mate and bonded with them. Like what?

I could fight the pull. I didn't have to give in to destiny's arranged marriage. I was a free woman. I could choose whoever I wanted to take as a mate. It didn't have to be Wynnter.-Rose

See what I mean?


Anyway, overall, Rose was okay. I couldn't stand her at the begining but she started growing on me when she decided to give Wynnter a chance. Being a tech, she was smart, a bit of a nerd. Even if I disliked her attachment to Zikkar, I have to give props where it's due, and I think her loyalty was a good thing. Was she my favorite out of the girls? Definitely not. But she wasn't the worst either. Some of the things she said made me roll my eyes but ehh she was okay.

Having two males interested in me at the same time had never been a problem. I was the nerdy girl, the ugly duckling among the swans with unruly curly reddish-brown hair, boring brown eyes, and a freckled face.-Rose 🙄

This bleeds wattpad energy


As for Wynnter, I liked that he was very possessive of Rose, even a little nervous when alone with her. His general aggressiveness towards Zikkar was normal in my eyes. It stemmed from the fact that a male was being too close to his Spirit mate who he hadn't bonded with yet. Territoriality. To be honest, I think Wynnter carried this book. I really liked him.

The relationship between Rose and Wynnter felt like it was dragging a little bit. Things could've been resolved quickly if they'd spoke to each other, and if Zikkar had told Rose about why he didn't sleep with her anymore. I just felt like the plot around the 'love triangle' was a bit boring and uneventful. They kept pushing back the discussion about their situation and there was unnecessary tension for too long.

As per usual, this book is part of a series that follows a linear plot. Each book has to be read in order, else you won't have any idea of what's happening. Silver Spice  wasn't bad but it lacked something. The love triangle wasn't my cup of tea and the main heroine got on my nerves a couple of times. Far from being my favorite book in this series, I mostly finished it out of necessity. The good thing is that they are fairly short books, so it's not that big of a deal to me, it reads pretty quickly. Hopefully the next one will be more my cuppa!

okay it’s good

Iona, please, please stop using crocodile tears. It means insincere which is not what the scene is suppose to be.

That literally jars me out of my reading every time.

Thank you for the end of this PSA.

I picked this one up for my scavenger hunt this week. I love a steamy whirlwind alien romance and Silver Spice doesn't disappoint. I liked Rose so much she's such a great character and Wynnter complements her just right. Silver Spice is the 7th in the series and I didn't read the prior but each is a standalone and I think jumping around is fine. I love the story and ended up devouring it in just a few short hours. I plan to continue the series.

This book was amazing and I loved the characters as they tried to work there way out of this threesome and it had moments when I laughed out loud and sometimes it drove me crazy but in a good way. Rose is a tech wiz and along with Zikkar who is her bunk mate and are working on the project to penetrate the dome and when Wynnter from the Trisess clan arrives to help and when he meets Rose his hearts starts to thrum and he knows she is his spirit mate and makes it known to the other male Zikkar that she is his and to back off but all this tension must be set aside until the can break through the city dome of Huren and get it back from evil aliens Gretolic and crash landed who have taken over the planet Valose and who killed off all there females and now as it turns out the Valose men are very capable with the humans and some of the girls have spirit mate bonding with them and now I know how they all feel because I can’t stop thinking about Wynnter and his gorgeous body and feeling guilty about it because she is with Zikkar but they are not sleeping together anymore and she is not sure why but she thinks he has found his own spirit mate and is scared tell her. How does it all turn out, do they save the day and get inside the city and take down the Gretolic’s and does everything work out between the three of them once and for all. Brilliant book and a must have.

This book was written from a dual perspective, switching back-and-forth between the main male and female characters. Written in first person by Iona Strom, SILVER SPICE is the 7th book in Warriors of Valose Saga, and follows the Valosian alien Wynnter and his human mate Rose.


Valosians resembled elves in human folklore, with long white hair and pointed pronounced ears, but with fangs and camouflaged scales instead of skin.

I will no longer be giving detailed reviews on these books because it's a waste of my time. Every book is the same story told over and over again, just with different characters. And if you have the mental capacity to keep up with the war behind the scenes, you're doing better than most. Truth be told, the plot has become too convoluted, making it too confusing and difficult of a story line to follow at points. Sometimes, it feels like the author changed her mind regarding facts that had already been established in prior books, so she just changed them and wrote some half-assed excuse for the change. 🤨🙄😕

I guess this series is worth the read if this genre of books is in your wheelhouse. It has the perfect balance of adventure and romance so long as you are able to follow the confusing plot line. I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series, mainly so I can finish it and move onto the next one. 🫶

Again, the lack of competent editing is appalling. No I’m talking about the Valose words. (The author actually refers to reviewers calling her out for that in her intro to the glossary.) I’m talking about actual English grammar. Missing words, wrong verb tenses. I’m not going to bother listing them like I usually do, because the author evidently paid someone to professionally edit this work. I highlighted TWENTY. Get your money back.

That said, this would be getting a higher-star review if it were not for those errors. I really do love this series but if the people charged with making it presentable don’t care, why should anyone else?

I’ll keep reading for the imagination it took and to find out what happens next. Even though I am taken out of the story every time I stop to highlight an error and roll my eyes.

If you can overlook bad grammar, misspelled words, homophones (ex.: site for sight), give this series a go. If you can’t, keep moving because so far it’s been every book to this point.

Oh and it was ridiculous that Rose wouldn’t immediately have sex with Wynnter because of her “prudish” ways when she’s been bedmating with Zikkar for how long? And don’t get me started on the logistics of 7’ tall aliens and 5’ tall women.

The Warriors of Valose is a one-click, must read Sci-Fi Series! Silver Spice is hands down my favorite book so far, and I love them all!! I just fell madly in love with, Wynnter! There was something about him that called to my ancillary heart. He's so swoon worthy!

Rose is the nerdy girl who likes to take things apart and put them back together. Don't let that fool you because she's as smart as a whip and proves it time and time again. When she has two males vying for her attention, she's flattered beyond compare. Unfortunately, one calls to her soul and the other's heart beats for another...

Wynnter knows, his ancillary heart beats only for Rose. He can feel her spirit calling to him. He's also aware that she has eyes for another. Which doesn't bode well with him. To the point where he gets into a confrontation with Zikkar. Both think it's the others responsibility to tell Rose the truth. Sometimes the most pivotal wars are not fought on the battlefield.

I highly recommend Silver Spice and this whole series for everyone who loves a thrilling Sci-Fi romance!

4&1\2 fabulous 🌟s for Silver Spice💖💖🔥🔥

I love this series and Silver Spice is an excellent addition to the line up. Rose was studying a MIT when she was taken and she is beyond talented when it comes to computers or any thing mechanical. Wynnter, is from clan Triess he too is a Tech someone who can build something out of nothing. He takes one look at Rose and his second heart begin to beat. Both are attracted to each other but Rose was in a relationship with another warrior and did not want to act on her desires. Their is a bit of back and forth and circling around their relationship but when the both give in sparks fly and passions and love strength their spirit bond! While these two sort out their feelings, a plan to attack the enemy and save the capital as well as the planet forms. Will the warriors and their human mates save the day and if so what new dangers will they face to get their stolen friends back. Stay tuned and give this book a read you won't be disappointed! Highly recommend🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖💖💖🔥🔥

Just when I think I have chosen my favourite Valosian hero, Ms Strom presents me with another delicious alien. This series is enthralling. Each book heightens the tension just enough that you're on tenterhooks, praying the central characters survive the latest disaster or obstacle, or attack. With every new release, the author's seamless blend of drama and romance has me hooked from the first line to the last word... and Silver Spice is no exception.

Against the backdrop of a looming battle between the Valosians and the Gretolics, Wynnter and Rose face numerous challenges and their fair share of personal turmoil, while striving to adapt their technology to give them the upper hand in the confrontation.

Silver Spice is certainly a roller coaster of emotions, and the fast-paced plot leaves you gasping for breath, but it's totally worth the ride!

O livro de Wynnter e Rose começa com um desnecessário triângulo amoroso, onde eles poderiam ter evitado o atrito que se arrastou pela história com uma conversa, já que eles têm a questão do espírito gêmeo. Fora isso eu amei o Wynnter e a Rose, e achei fofo eles adotarem uma criança!

Gostei da história e gosto da escrita da autora, porém acho que ela poderia desenvolver um pouco mais o romance para dar mais profundidade ao tema “alma gêmea”, porque é algo bem forte para nossos alienígenas élficos.

Todo o romance é realmente doce, mas as cenas “hot” são um pouco apressadas. Já a trama da guerra é bem desenvolvida e até onde li, mais espécies vão se envolver nessa bagunça. O que não parece um bom sinal para as humanas sequestradas, já que todo humano tirado da Terra deve ser morto por saber demais.

In a phrase: Missed Potential.

I read books 1-7 thru KU.

Overall: the series is dragging, repetitive & a hot grammar mess. There are inconsistencies between plots in books & spelling of words. A lot of alien terms are too similar to earth words in a way that's annoying-- e.g., chiksin, medicas, sweethis, adrenalyne, etc.-- because the meaning is obvious & yet it's explained ad nauseam in text & a glossary. And other words that are more creative "nula" as a term of endearment are not fully explained (maybe in the glossary it is but I didn't read it as I read every book). The series is written like a serial with one major arc and only the couplings as mini-arcs, with no one book functioning well as a stand-alone. All of which is a shame because the premise & the world the author has put forth is creative and intriguing.

Hence, 2 stars.

Seventh book in the sci-fi romance series with amazing characters and a plot that only gets more intense and dangerous with each story. I highly suggest reading in order. This one brings together the tribes to take down the alien invaders. But first they need to be able to penetrate the dome. That is where Rose comes in. She loves tech and working on it. With the help of two of the silver natives they just might figure it out. One of the males she has gotten very close to but the other is new to her and there is something there she doesn’t understand. Wynnter knows what she means to him but keeping away from her is driving him crazy. The tension only builds as the story brings more danger at them.

If you destined for someone but you would choose another, what would you do? This love triangle, alien romance is a great story which answers this question.
I loved that Rose doesn't immediately "switch teams" and Winner did't demanding his spirit mate when he arrived at his own personal cost. Zikkar bowed out with class and I can't wait to read his story.

"On my world, we have an annual tradition to set personal goals at the first of the new year. My New Year's resolution had been to become more adventurous. To spice up my boring life of school and work. "I had no idea where that goal would take me, or who I would meet when I got there. You're my New Year's resolution realized. You're what I needed to spice up my dull existence. My very own silver spice."

Wynnter knew that Rose was not born of Valose and knew nothing of their ways. So he is willing to take things as slow as she needs.
This series is filled with great books but I recommend reading them in order as each book has its own H and h but the story continues though the series. Looking forward to reading the next book when it comes out. I believe that each couple is matched great.

Another amazing entry in the series. This book has so much going on, while a new couple finds their love. Rose is fighting her attraction to her spirit mate because she has feelings for someone else, but knows she will fall for Wynnter. They take it slow and Rose decides when it is time it accept her mate. I enjoyed Rose, she is an educated scientist who helps the warriors get into the dome. I love how the warriors help each other and how the women support each other. Their interactions add a lot to how the story unfolds. I enjoyed their story, but this book left me wanting more. I am very interested to see what happens next.

Another fantastic book in the Warriors of Valose series! I love this sci-fi romance series! Wynnter and Rose were meant for each other, even though she was attracted to another. Silver Spice is an awesome book with the perfect amount of action, adventure, intense battles, fated mates and sizzling chemistry. The Warriors of Valose have amazing fighting skills to defeat their enemies! I can’t wait for Sliver Storm to find out what happens next!

At Last

I have been waiting on this next book for what seems like forever! I enjoyed reading about Wynnter and Rose and their rocky road to matedom. Loads of action, engaging characters , imaginative world-building and a storyline I am so invested in, it almost pains me to finish the book. I wish it was longer 😀

3 1/2 stars ( I round up ). There are a few discrepancies through out the saga that make me wish the author would have paid more attention to their craft. This last book was okay but it was lacking and redundant in places. I will have to wait and see if I want to keep reading the saga. It's NOT "I want/need to read more" at this point so...it goes back onto maybe later list.

Sexy nerds come in all sizes

It’s going to take a combined effort of many intelligent technicians to get everyone under the safety of the dome and fight off the remaining Gretolics. Wynnter, Rose and Zikkar are trying to work together, but there’s a sexual tension building. How will other aliens headed to Valose help or hinder? Enjoy the many adventures!!!

Cool perspective on a love triangle

Nothing worse than liking one guy while getting interested in another. Even if it feels like you have no control over it. Bedmates with one alien only to discover that she may be mates with another. I liked how they played it but the final explanation was too easy. Throw in even more aliens and full on war snd this dtory is action packed.

Action packed at almost ever page

Ok. So the war with they Grey's maybe over but now we have a new enemy. It seems these people can't catch a break but if you are still reading (like I am). Then you are excited to see what comes next. This is book 7 and it's a lot technically stuff going on because the main characters are introverted nerds. I love it.

This couple was boring compared to the others. Just didn’t have the chemistry. The storyline started off promising but fizzled. I kept ready to continue with the overall plot. Looking forward to the next one.

The story is now keeping me on the end of my seat. I'm scared for the characters. I can't see how this will end well for our Humans & Valosians. I will be on edge till I get the next book.

Wynnter and Rose have finally spirit mated. But Rose had her heart set on someone else so she was reluctant to bond. Somethings are beyond her control. Enjoy!

Rose is a tech nerd, and works with the other Valosian techs to break down the dome. They need to kill the grey aliens, and retake control.
