Once again the author created a thrilling, suspenseful science fiction love story. She’s one of the trafficked humans rescued from the pleasure ship in book 1. He’s one of the alien delegates working with the rescued human colony (in book 3 we learn there’s actually more to it than that.)

The first half is fairly light hearted with the MMCs golden retriever type personality contrasting against the FMCs more serious and brash one. He’s smitten with her but learning the truth of the trafficked humans alters his interaction.

The banter and playfulness that slowly warms up the first half of the book contrasts beautifully to the darker second half when the conflict happens and antagonists show up. Brilliant series. A must read if you like science fiction romance.
