To be loved is all Tina ever wanted. She never dreamed her prayers would be answered by the enemy.
Aspirant Tina Novak, living on Europa’s convent colony, has no place to call her own. First rejected by her father, now being sent away by Mother Superior, where can a young woman with no prospects go?
The question is delayed by a Kalquorian invasion that takes the aspirants and nuns prisoner. The enemy Kalquorians are teetering on the brink of an extinction disaster, and Earther women are always welcome spoils of war.
Chosen by the young and ambitious clan of Dramok Tukui, Imdiko Yorso, and Nobek Osopa, Tina can’t imagine what her shattered future might bring. When she discovers the gentler side of the fierce Kalquorians, her fear of them becomes fear of losing them.
Can it last? Or will they turn her away in the end, as everyone else has? When the war reaches its unthinkable, violent end, Earther and Kalquorian alike find their lives altered forever. With the lives of Tina’s most vulnerable family members at stake, she and Clan Tukui must set aside what they thought they wanted and embrace what’s possible.

About the author
Tracy St. John
70 books488 followersBorn in a small town on the coast of North Carolina to strict parents, Tracy St. John started out as a quiet, shy child. She was typical for her small town: studying hard for good grades, fishing with her dad on Saturdays and attending church on Sundays.
When adolescence kicked in, so did full-on rebellion. School, family and church fell by the wayside as Tracy partied too hard with the wrong people. Somehow surviving her wild-child phase, she pursued several careers before finally settling on video production and writing.
A string of failed relationships prompted her to give up on love…which of course meant fate immediately tossed Mr. Right her way. After only 4 months of dating, she eloped with the love of her life. They just celebrated 14 years of wedded bliss.
Prior to penning her first erotic novel ‘Alien Embrace’, Tracy wrote commercials, television and radio promos, and training films for various government entities.
Tracy St. John now lives in coastal Georgia with her husband and son. She still enjoys fishing, and you’ll often find her haunting train museums with her locomotive-loving son. Besides writing, she also works in video production both in front of and behind the camera. She’s usually cast as the gun-toting bad gal, getting handcuffed in the end. She has no complaints.

I just love the Kalquorians. They are always so attentive and eager to please. They are sweet yet dominate and possessive. I always enjoy when one of this series comes out. Tukui, Osopa, and Yorso did not disappoint. I loved how they grew and took care of Tina, then later how they tackled the issues with Zac and Callie.

The Kalgorian series has been an inspiration for me to write in the scifi genre!

The concept of the book is still upsetting to me but I did like the book. The clans are bullies and rapists with an over the top alpha syndrome going on but as much as you want them shot, they do make you laugh and it would be nice to read stories of the other girls. For me Osopa saved the day with this book but then I'm all about the fighters. I'd also like to know why the generals granddaughter isn't part of this series.

Surprised
I was surprised by the amount of telling in this book.
I was surprised by feeling cheated by a story I expected to read, one of a girl forced to clan and fighting all the way, which I didn’t get.
I was surprised by the strange mix of flowery sex scene language mixed with the hardcore descriptors of body parts that was jarring at best.
I was surprised to find a 19 year old living in a convent asking for hard core BDSM sex on her second sexual encounter, and barely seeming to be affected by the deep religious hated so prevalent in the early books of this series.
I was surprised at how nerfed this book felt by what must be the Me Too movement.
I expected a book where the forced claiming of a 19 year old woman would leave me wretched, but knowing that the author could still pull off making me fall for the hero’s as I had in all the series early books. Instead there is really no conflict at all. Tina just adapts as if religious self hatred hadn’t been drilled into her brain—in a CONVENT—for the last five years. It’s as if she were a modern girl and not the ones before the Earth was destroyed. Weirdly, the author puts this next to 30% of the book showing how another character totally hates the hero’s like he should.
It sadly feels like the author took the easy way out on what should have been a thought provoking and hard story to read, by just having Tina get it and not be upset about her new circumstances.
A gritty return to the earlier parts of the series was what I was hoping to get from the Europa spinoff. I’m hoping this is an outlier and instead that we’ll get the gritty tale of Mary in the next book of the spinoff series. Here’s to hoping.

Really enjoying the spin off series in the Universe. It’s crazy to see how the author has managed to show a world where earth was United by combining all the religions but how terrible it became for women as second hand citizens. She has managed to find clans that could help the women build up confidence and become their try selves.

Great continuation of the series about the novices and nuns
Glad to read the issues that still have these couples to overcome even if the outside is not pressuring their pairings, but their own insecurities and uncertainties
awesome writer

Loved visiting Europa again
I always wondered about the other women claimed by the clans on Europa. I enjoyed Time's story, but I suggest reading this series in order to fully understand what is happening.

Tina
Tina was sent to a convent by her father and even Mother Superior rejected her. Then the invasion and her abduction by three Kalquorians to be their mate.
