The heroine: Allie – she is a human female from Earth, living on a planet called Bara-KitosE, the Scorps had been driven off Earth by the Aurelians, and the Earth governments got out from under Aurelian rule. Aurelians still come around, to look for their fated mates, and to increase the size of their harems, but the Aurelians that usually come are rogue, those who got deserted or are exiled from the strictly ordered Aurelian society. They travel in triads of 7-foot tall, muscular male aliens. Allie was once in a harem and she was there for three weeks before escaping, unlike many human females, she did not want to be owned by the handsome warriors, she wanted to be in control of her own life, even if it was just so she could be a dancer at a strip club.
The Heroes: Daccia, Ketos and Hadrian – they are at the Spurs bar posing as a rogue Aurelian triad. In reality they are Aurelian law enforcement officers and are one capture away from getting a promotion. They are there to capture Allie, though when they see her, they immediately feel something and wonder if she could possibly be their fated mate.
The Story: Allie is afraid of the Aurelians, even the rogue ones, because of what she had to do when before she escaped the harem in order to get enough to ransom her sister Lilac from space pirates, though the pirates never showed up for the ransom drop and she hasn’t seen Lilac since. She knows that the law enforcement officers of the Aurelian Empire are after her and she thinks any Aurelians she comes across might be undercover law enforcement. She doesn’t like the fact that she has to strip for money to live, but no legitimate place will hire her without ID.
“Objectively, Aurelians seem brutal, haughty and misogynistic. Subjectively – when you’re with one of those marble-skinned Gods – you can’t help but let your body give in to the trembling, shivering need for them. You can’t help but admire the tradition of honor that is intrinsic to their society, and the sense of duty they have in protecting the human species they view as so child-like and helpless.
It’s infuriating, yet honorable. Frustrating, yet laudable. The best and worst of both worlds; and both repellent and compelling to human females like me.”
I liked the premise of this book, and the fact that Allie was tough as nails but knew when to act meek in order to keep her skills on the down low. She grew up an orphan on the streets and wasn’t afraid of a fight. So, while acting all meek, she has some brutal thoughts going on in her head about what she could be doing.
Once the triad arrest her and get her on their ship, I had mixed feelings about what I wanted to happen. I mean there was a ton of chemistry between the triad and Allie, and whenever one or more of them was around her, the sexual frustration was high. So, on one hand, I wanted them to break down and find out if she was their fated mate. But on the other hand, since the guys were law officers, any sex between them and Allie would get them into heaps of trouble. So, she was constantly trying to get them to do it since she thought it was her only chance of getting free. It was certainly a good source of conflict and tension for the story.
