The Alien’s Touch by Zoey Draven
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Welcome to Luxiria, where the twin suns are hot and the alien warriors are hotter…
The Alien’s Touch
Cecelia has always rolled with life’s punches. Growing up in a broken home? Check. Cancer? Check. Getting rescued from a human trafficking ring by massive, horned alien warriors and getting transported to their planet? Triple check. But when her cancer returns, light years away from Earth, Cecelia knows that she needs her rescuers’ help—except that help comes in the form a sexy, pierced, ruthless warrior who thinks she’s his…
Ambassador Rixavox, one of the fiercest war generals on Luxiria, is no stranger to the carnal delights of females. Many, many females. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he could settle for just one…but that’s before his animalistic Instinct awakens for Cecelia, recognizing her for who she truly is: his fated mate.
As they journey to his territory in the harsh northern lands of Luxiria, his female tempts him to madness, fueling his own wicked desires, even when it is forbidden to touch her or claim her the way he craves. In his care, they must resist the mating call that runs between them…or risk everything.
The big C!

The heroine: Cecilia – she was a cancer survivor who was abducted from Earth by a cruel race of aliens and rescued by the warriors of Luxiria. She feels that her cancer has returned, she has been getting night sweats again. She is far from Earth where she can get treatment for her cancer and is a different race than the people who live on the planet, so fears she will keep getting worse.
The Hero: Rixavox – He is one of the seven Ambassadors of Luxiria, in charge of one of the outposts. He was one of the most brutal generals in the war and he had a way with the ladies since he has been an ambassador. He just returned to the golden city from a mission to retaliate against the Gitutians for their acts in abducting the human females. He can’t wait to get back to his outpost and find a pleasure mate to take away all the stress from being off planet.
The Story: Rixavox was curious about the human females, though the prime leader has kept them separate from the population since they might trigger a mating instinct in a male and a mated male could be dangerous, wanting to take the human away and never letting her go. Meanwhile Cecilia was taken away by the doctor who said he could cure her. Apparently cancer is treatable in the Luxirians. Though first she must go to an outpost in the North to bathe each day in a sacred pool to rid her body of toxins. So Rixavox is tasked with accompanying Cecilia to his home.
I liked the story and the characters. Rixavox promised the prime leader that he would take care of Cecilia when they were at his outpost, so it was a bit of a slow burn, but I liked that his playboy ways ended as soon as he saw Cecilia and knew she was his mate. Though his decision to have one of his old lovers as a companion to Cecilia was a strange one even though Cecilia knew the whole time and agreed to it.
This book was told in dual points of view via duet narration, and was narrated by Sierra Grace and Tristan Josiah. I had already read the first and last books of this series and I bought some more because I liked the stories and the fact that they are done in duet narration and both these narrators are good at doing different voices.
