Blurb:I'm a scavenger. So what? With society's collapse on Earth, I do what I have to for survival. Especially after I'm kidnapped by space pirates. I have no idea why the five most powerful rulers in the universe decide that I'm the Oath Forger, the one foretold to fuse their royal houses together and bring peace. But I'm going to play along. Because, hey, it's better than probes in uncomfortable places. Now let's just hope they don't find out I'm lying.
Excerpt: My attention is glued to the man who sits straight ahead, on a platform of his own, above all others.
He's larger than the largest man I had ever seen on Earth. His shoulders are twice as wide as mine. He is wearing a body-hugging suit, a dark blue space material that absorbs light. His muscle definition is...
Clearly visible, even from as far away as where I'm standing.
Hair the color of indigo spills down to the middle of his back, the kind of hair they used to call a lion's mane on Earth. Straight nose, a jaw that looks like it had been cut from granite. But it's the eyes that render me unable to breathe. His eye color matches his hair, and his gaze is locked on mine. And-here is the weird part-I can feel him in the room. I could almost swear I can hear his heartbeat. My awareness of him is...unearthly.
Oh God, I'm cracking. The stress of the abduction has done me in. Next, I will be crying in a heap on the floor like Dee.
Krek Koah stands, a fierce expression on his face.
The buzz in the room immediately dies. Every single person falls silent. All attention is on him.
Without moving his gaze from mine, he says, "I need this room cleared."
Here is where I'm seriously glad for the translator in my neck-even with the killer headache I feel coming-because if I didn't understand what he said, I would think it was 'Off with their heads.'
And I'm pretty sure I would pee my pants.
People file for the exits, no questions, no protest.
I'm ready to go. I'm backing away already.
"Not you," Krek Koah pronounces, looking straight at me.
This is the first book since the quarantine started that I think I’ve been able to finish. I have been DNF’ing most books because I can’t concentrate and I’m not sleeping well or eating well. This one was just what I needed. Alien abduction followed by alien attraction, intrigue, phophesy-ish. I like how well thought out her rationalizing is. She is always thinking of her sister first and how she can get back to earth and get help. And she is willing to exchange certain freedoms of her own to do it. Which at first I thought was bologna but am now starting think its pretty selfless. Her love interests are highly sexual beings with a strong protective instincts and an entertaining competitive streak. And they seem genuinely interested in more than making babies. They are interested in learning her habits and her past and want to help her achieve her goals. I’ve already started the second book.
