Blurb:

As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit - my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy... except me.
I need... affection. Attention. Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely.
Strangely enough, the only person that I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute that stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling.
Except... I'm not so good with the whole 'rules' thing. And he's not so great with the 'fling' thing.

My Review:

I’m so glad Maddie’s story came right after Lila’s story. Maddie has a very distinct personality. She is a bit overly dramatic at times and can be a little protective of her sister.  I think it’s what gets her on the worng foot with a lot of the tribe at first.  But I mean, come one, her first impression with them was right after one of the blue dudes kidnapped her sister.  Understandable.  These charcaters were more flawed than the others and I really liked that.  They seemed to be more in tune with themselves and really made no excuses for their behavior. They made mistakes and dealt with them.

Hassan was near unredeemable from the last book. (He was the one who kidnapped Lila in the first place)  I don’t know how RD did it but she turned two not so likable characters into one of the best romance stories in this series to date!  It was like they were better together and brought out the best in each other, so cheesy right but that’s seriously what happened!

This one is a big turning point in the world building. Their world is changing just as the tribe is evolving so it’s a very nice parallel to the overall growth in the series. I’m very excited to see how the tribe deals with all the upheaval.
