BLURB:
Betrayal, passion, adventure, primal sex, and a fight to the death.
Mating a 26th century Oracan Bounty Hunter with a 18th century pirate has its little glitches.
Bounty hunter Talos bows to pressure to bring his mate home for the completion of his strict warrior culture’s bonding ritual. Aidan, displaced 18th century Earth pirate— light-fingered, sly, charming and understandably naive about the new world he’s been thrust into— can’t wait. Even if it turns out someone wants him dead. The 26th century looks different, but it turns out to be a lot like his old life!
REVIEW:
I kinda expected something different I think with this one. I don’t know. It was good. I think what made this series for me was Aiden. He is the shit. Funny as hell, even in a crisis.
Aiden is feeling beside himself. He doesn’t know what’s wrong, other than he’s horny as can be and can’t get any relief without Talos. But something is making him weak and feverish and they can’t figure out what. They are assuming it’s the mating since no human has ever mated with an Oracan. Heck, no human has ever TOUCHED one. And now, on Talos’s home planet, he’s feeling even worse. But nothing would have kept him away from Talos’s side, and Talos needed to be home. Plus, Aiden needed to do the trials for the Oracan ‘people’ (beings) in order to be considered mated to Talos. But someone is out to get Aiden in order to make him lose. And Aiden is fighting with all his might not to. Even though his body is saying ‘enough’. With some help from his favorite doctor, he’s determined to finish and move on. Just when he finally thinks it’s all over, he’s kidnapped again and this time he may not survive.
Man, Aiden just can’t be left alone. Everyone seems to be out to kill him, kidnap him, or something. And this mating thing he can’t decide whether to love or hate. He doesn’t mind the hours of sex, but it never seems like enough and he can’t even pleasure himself. His body isn’t sated or can’t finish without Talos. And boy, is he cussing about all of it lol. Plus, being stuck in these trials while sick as a dog, while the competition is trying to rape or murder him. When does it end? And Talos. He’s often mistaken, especially by Dr. Jaclyn, as a brute, among other things. But all he wants is to take care of Aiden. To love him and mate him and claim him. He’s overwrought with anxiety and anger trying to figure out what’s wrong with Aiden. And everyone seems to be against him. When he’s to the point of almost losing Aiden, enough is enough. He will do all he can to save him. *Sigh* so sweet. These two made this book. They have a lot of obstacles to overcome but they are warriors and will fight with all they have to survive.
