New World: Made for Me
Torn between survival and fate, two women fight their destinies in this second in a sexy new sci-fi romance series from Lily X.
Kit: Oh Goddess, I’m so, so tired of running. But I can’t stop. Not when a mad scientist thinks my genes are the key to a new race of superbeings.
I made it six weeks before a hunter tracked me down—a woman who all but ignores my pleas for mercy.
I should be frightened of her, but my body quakes from something else whenever she’s around. And when she’s not, I long to press her lips to mine and wrap my fingers around her horns.
If only she weren’t luring me back to a living nightmare…
Ana: All my life, I’ve fought to protect the helpless, but I never thought I would have to sacrifice my morals to save my little brother. Yet here I am, hunting the most fiery woman I’ve ever met for the most despicable man in the universe.
What should be a simple mission to retrieve and transport becomes complicated when I learn the taste of her lips and the touch of her fingertips. Is there a way to save my brother and Kit?
Gods damn it, my bleeding heart may just be the death of us all.

Running away from a scientist who wants to harness the powers of her tribe to create superbeings, Kit gets caught by Ana, who would rather do anything than kidnap pretty women. A retired Commander in the peacekeeping corps, the beast hybrid only accepted the job in the hopes of saving her brother’s life. Pretty soon, on the ship flying them to Sentinel 5, Kit comes to the realization that Ana is meant to be hers.
Even more than Stay With Me, this second book in the New World series is erotica with a sci-fi plot, with the accent clearly on erotica. What could have been a thrilling action scene is over in the blink of an eye, for example. Clearly, the author cares more about the relationship between the MCs than about the plot. And let’s be honest, said relationship – enemies to lovers who become lovers real quick – is hot, despite a definite element of omegaverse, which isn’t really my thing.
New World: Made for Me is fun to read but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did the previous book, which set the universe and had a more intriguing premise. Lily X insists a lot on the size difference and with Ana calling Kit kitten and always thinking of her or talking to her as small or little, I got an uncomfortable feeling of a very young girl. Which Kit isn’t. She’s 28 and a schoolteacher. And an extremely powerful being. I was also surprised that the author named Kit’s tribe Maga, which I guess was chosen in relation to magic but still feels strange, as does the use of the word chakra. I think I understand what Lily X meant but one of the best things with sci-fi is the possibility to create new words and I wish she’d taken the opportunity instead of using one that means so much to an existing culture.
This story can be read as a standalone but knowing the world it’s set in will help. And there’s a cameo from the couple from Stay With Me that will add to the enjoyment. The third book, Own Me, will be released on October 18th.

Yet another lovely sapphic romance with a sci-fi backdrop by Lily X. This could be read as a standalone, but I think reading book one first would only benefit the reader by having background on the world these stories take place; plus the cameo of our book one couple makes this book all the sweeter.
This book follows the relationship of Ana (who we met in book one) and Kit. Kit is on the run, having escaped a mad scientist trying to harvest her powers. Ana, due to unfortunate circumstances, is tasked with hunting down Kit and returning her to said scientist. Ana tracks down Kit, plops her onto the ship, and sets off on the two week trip to their destination. Over the course of the journey, Kit realizes some truths about Ana, Ana is undeniably attracted to Kit, and the two come to navigate their feelings for each other. And there's a cat.
Overall, this was a quick, fun read. There's some paranormal elements mixed into the sci-fi that I thought were quite neat. Ana gives big Domme energy and Kit is her accompanying brat. The forced proximity was great, I'm not big on fated mates but I thought it was done well, and I didn't know I would end up crying when I read "I see you".
I would recommend this for anyone itching for a light spicy, yet charming, sci-fi romance read. :)

Mine. For me. Made for me. Blessed only for me.
3.5 stars. I liked this just as much, or perhaps even a little better than the first book in the series, but there were, sadly, a lot of gaping plot holes that I couldn't ignore, and thinking about them did sorta take away from my enjoyment. But I still really really liked this; it was just as much tropey scifi fun as I could want. Ana is a retired Peacekeeper who takes on a bounty hunting job to save her brother from a massive debt. The assignment is to retrieve a runaway from a research facility, Kit, and bring her back. Complications ensue, of course, when they start falling for one another. This is another fated mates romance, and I once again liked that aspect of it more than I would have thought. Maybe I'm just in that era where I can enjoy mystical/magical connections, and they actually feel romantic instead of forced. There's a captor/captive aspect that I really liked, and it's really steamy and fun. Ana is so dreamy; so much butch excellence. I really liked that hair was so important in this; there were a few scenes that were super touching. And it was just a great visual, how Kit's hair would keep wrapping around Ana. They were so lovely together.
I was left with so many questions though.
Still. This appealed to my lizard brain enough that I have to give it credit. And the parts that I liked, I really liked. Still looking forward to continuing the series.

This is a great crossover between sci-fi and smut (4.5). I love a bit of well-written smut set in an interesting world. The romp happens in its own little universe of friends who find their partners. And the friends are certainly diverse: beasts, mage, feline, POC, non-POC, farmer, blue-collar, highly educated. Very good. This time (2nd in the series) it is upright Ana’id who is caught between a rock and a hard place. I loved to get a glimpse into the magical world of Kit and see the inner demons of Ana’id - well done and with more depth. The author paints this „new world“ with bold strokes I would love to see some more details - I am sure that would enhance this series even more. I didn’t like that the root situation was left not quite resolved (is the other shoe gonna drop?).

"New World: Made for Me" tells the story of Kit, a woman on the run, and Ana, the bounty hunter sent to track her down. Over the course of the book the two meet, fight, and fall for each other - but Kit's still being pursued by a scientist with dark motives, and now Ana needs to figure out how to get them both out of this situation alive.
I love a good sapphic romance, and this ticks even more boxes for me - good chemistry, well-written smut, and on top of everything else the story is set in space! Although we don't learn much about the extraterrestrial world that surrounds Kit and Ana's romance, it still provides a good backdrop for the plot, and it's clear Lily X has put a fair amount of thought into her worldbuilding. The story was told through first-person POVs that alternate every chapter - one chapter will be narrated by Kit, the next by Ana, and then Kit again, and so on. Normally this type of storytelling throws me off, but Lily X uses character voice and context to easily distinguish which character is telling the story, and I was only confused about the narrator a couple of times. This was a quick, easy romance read. The conflicts are realistic in relation to the fantastical world Lily X presents, and they're tied up neatly by the end of the book in a way that was satisfying. The protagonists get their HEA - it's super sweet!
There were a couple things in "Made for Me" that didn't really click with me. After they first have sex, Ana starts to refer to Kit with the pet name "kitten". It was cute for a while, but then it started to get repetitive in a way that felt weird. Kit's also really bratty during sex, and while both characters are into it, it just felt weird to me. I'm sure it's someone else's thing - just not mine. There's also a lot of discussion of mating and finding the perfect Mate, which was a bit too Omegaverse for me. Other than those pretty nit-picky things, I still loved their romance. It didn't feel insta-love-y and watching the two characters fall for each other was sweet, especially with the alternating POV format.
Something else that felt weird was Kit's background. Kit practices a cultural, matriarchal religion that is linked to her magical abilities. I loved this idea! But as I kept reading, I was surprised that instead of making up specific in-world terms to describe aspects of Kit's religion, Lily X uses preexisting terms - including referring to Kit's magical energy source as her chakra. This felt out of place in a sci-fi book, especially because Lily X seemed to have no problem with strong worldbuilding. It also felt weird because the concept of a chakra is (as far as I know) linked to Hindu and Buddhist ideology, and the Kit is described as white. She's frequently referred to as pale and red-haired, and though I understand that none of the characters in "Made for Me" are exactly humans, it still feels strange to see Lily X using a chakra here. After I learned that the author describes herself as coming from a "brown family" I felt more comfortable with some of her choices, but reading this out of context still felt strange. Similarly, Ana is described as physically larger and more intimidating than Kit, with a military background. She "growls" her words when she's angry. Unlike Kit, Ana has more non-human features like horns. She's also described as having darker skin and her hair is always referred to as being in "locs", a term not used in relation to Kit. It feels strange that Ana, who as far as I can tell is coded as Black, is frequently more aggressive and "dominant" than her lighter-skinned counterpart. I've seen this trope played out pretty frequently in romances, and it never sits right with me. Again, it's nice knowing that the author is a woman of color, but it still felt uncomfortable enough that I took off a star for it.
All this aside, "New World: Made for Me" still holds as a solid sapphic romance, with a short enemies-to-lovers plot, chases through space, and well-written smut scenes. Although not all of it was right up my alley, I'm sure this would be the perfect read for lots of people. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a "the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one" kind of trope, characters working through their trauma together, smut with strong plot behind it, or just a sapphic space romance in general.

I have never had three words break me as hard as the "I see you" written in this book. This is such an emotionally charged read. From battlefield flashbacks, to a mad scientist, to desperation, to magic, to mates and mating, to alien species.... I was delectably exhausted by the end. I could NOT put this book down, it has everything from every genre beautifully written into the chapters.
It is the second book in the series... do you have to read the first book to enjoy this one? No, but the friendship Ana shares with two characters back home does hit more sentimental notes if you've read the first book. I was thrilled to see my two favorite leading ladies make some cameos in this one. It made me remember why I absolutely love all the worlds Lily X is building and these amazing women? They are each so unique and wonderful to get to know on the page. Cannot wait for the next in the series.

Excellent, only missing one piece.
I wasn't crying. You were crying.
Mostly it was an engaging, fun, wild ride, but it skimmed over what could have been some great action. Then it got emotional and actually made me cry a little, not a common occurrence, so emotional investment was definitely there.
Still, this would have been phenomenal if a few action chapters had been written about 70% of the way in.

5/5 would recommend this spicy sapphic read. It is not heavy on the sci-fi aspect (other than space travel and kidnapping), but the premise is intriguing and the characters are unique. Some scenes made me tear up, especially towards the end of the book, but I loved seeing the relationship progress. And we get to see characters from book 1 as well.
August 10, 2022
Really good book. Kept me engaged from beginning all the way to the end. The main characters were very well fleshed out and the romance was very sweet as well. I liked that this was part paranormal and romance all rolled into one story. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and family,and this will not be the only book that I read from this author.

This is the second book I read in this series which is becoming very interesting. Poignant and well developed, a story that kept me hooked till the end.
Recommended.

This book is the second one in the series, and while it could stand alone, I suggest reading them in order. I am glad I discovered this series. I couldn't stop reading the first two books in the first day. I believe I got them from kindle unlimited, then purchased them all!
July 18, 2022
What can I say? I absolutely love the dynamic between kit and ana. Throw in a kidnapping, accidental love, space travel... I had high expectations for this second book and absolutely loved it!

Another great installment to this series. Two fated beings that were meant to be together HEA. Filled with adventure and heat that keeps giving more.

quite nice…and disturbing.
We met Ana in the previous book. She is very good friends with Cedra and Twyla. She was very instrumental in them being able to stay together. She believed in them being mated pairs. She saw it in an instant of seeing them together after Cedra telling her about Twyla.
I didn’t know what to think when Ana went on this mission to secure her brothers safety from someone so ruthless. I still don’t understand how she could take such an assignment from everything that I know about her from being a Peacekeeper.
When she grabbed Kit, I felt quite icky at how she tried to separate the safety of her brother by not keeping the safety concerns of Kit. Ana knew it was wrong and bad to take someone’s freedom, freedom not to be held captive and experimented on without consent. I still hold that against her.
When Kit found out what was happening between them, I understood her need to keep this from Ana and also to deny/refuse it. I almost felt that her Maga was playing a cruel joke on her. Except, I knew Ana.
I liked the people of Star 8. I liked the concept of their soulmate. It was fascinating.
I like the adventure that they were on. I liked being part of reading their back story into who they are. It added more depth to their characters. I liked them very much as people. I wanted it to work out for them. I liked the humor and the raw passion and caring for one another. I was hoping they would have a wonderful HEA.

4 stars. I’m glad that I finally continued on with this series because I liked this one even more than the first. We got a lot more world building in this book and action in this which I loved. The writing is smooth and the pacing made this a quick and addictive read.
The characters were awesome. Kit and Ana have a bit of a rocky start. Kit is on the run from a mad scientist and she gets captured by Ana who is a hunter. I loved the bantering between them and they had really great chemistry. The spice is fantastic and I enjoyed the slight D/s elements between them. That was fun. I thought they were perfect for each other and their different personalities balanced each other out really well. I loved how once Ana learned what had happened to Kit she was determined to protect her. I swooned hard. Minus some minor plot holes I had a great time with this.

I enjoyed this fast paced steamy wlw scifi adventure even more than the first book in the series. With an interesting take on fated mates and totally lovable and relatable characters, this story hit all the right beats. The romance was equal parts hot and sweet, while the revenge fantasy on the abusive science researcher really worked for me. Ana and Kit are tortured souls, each damaged in their own way, but some how they fill each other's missing pieces and come together in the best way. Highly recommend this series for scifi romance fans looking for action and angst.

This romance begins with a hunter-prey scenario and quickly morphs into a combination of science fiction, fantasy, and intense sex. The first two themes are minimally developed leaving the reader to assume how each works based on general principles for each genre. Initially the connection between Kit and Ana is primarily physical attraction though that begins to change as the relationship develops. There is a basic supporting cast. This is an enjoyable tale with a little more sex than plot.

Yep this is one of those series that get better as one progresses. While the previous book in the series came across as a generic romance, this is more BDSM.

This one was pretty frustrating from the beginning and kinda got worse ☹️ I really liked Kit and most of Ana's character but there was this part of Ana that just didn't align with who I thought she was intended to be.
It starts out with Ana hunting, kidnapping and contributing to the further traumatization of Kit, all for a man who she knows experiments on people and she's doing it as payment for her brother who's in debt. This didn't seem at all in line with her character who was a good person the rest of the time and also because she leaned into the morals of her former position in law enforcement. I know she said she felt back into a corner but I thought maybe she'd struggle with her conscience throughout the book and would've been trying to figure out an alternative to trading a living being for a gambling debt. But she didn't until she slept with Kit and then suddenly, she couldn't follow through with her human trafficking so she came up with the idea to mortgage her home instead? Where was all that when she was hunting Kit or drugging her and tying her up?
It got even more infuriating when Kit did her fireworks show and Ana had the nerve to judge her and say she believes in right and wrong so she ditched Kit without even a conversation. I would've understood it more if the conflict was completely fear based and not from a misplaced sense of moral superiority. Just hypocritical to judge Kit for what Ana said was a federal crime while having committed multiple (also probably federal) crimes herself. I thought for sure Cedra or Twyla would've pointed something out to Ana but no one did and it made me feel a little crazy that it was never brought up.
It just left a bad feeling in my chest. Like it didn't belong there. It probably wouldn't have bothered me if Ana had just tried coming up with an alternative plan from the start or even if she had been lied to and told that Kit was a criminal so Ana acted as a bounty hunter thinking she was still on the side of justice by bringing in a criminal in exchange for her bother's debt. I would've been able to reconcile those feelings better.
I hate being so harsh because I did love the plot and the characters were so sweet and very likeable. Ana and Kit had amazing chemistry and the sex scenes had me blushing more than a few times. Lily definitely knows how to write compatible characters, entertaining story lines, beautiful worlds and the happiest of endings so of course I'm gonna keep reading. I'm enjoying this world and the series so I'll be jumping right into book 3. I have a feeling I know who's up next 😏
It starts out with Ana hunting, kidnapping and contributing to the further traumatization of Kit, all for a man who she knows experiments on people and she's doing it as payment for her brother who's in debt. This didn't seem at all in line with her character who was a good person the rest of the time and also because she leaned into the morals of her former position in law enforcement. I know she said she felt back into a corner but I thought maybe she'd struggle with her conscience throughout the book and would've been trying to figure out an alternative to trading a living being for a gambling debt. But she didn't until she slept with Kit and then suddenly, she couldn't follow through with her human trafficking so she came up with the idea to mortgage her home instead? Where was all that when she was hunting Kit or drugging her and tying her up?
It got even more infuriating when Kit did her fireworks show and Ana had the nerve to judge her and say she believes in right and wrong so she ditched Kit without even a conversation.
