Their Broken Vessel is just full of really sharp edges. Lizzy is really known for writing some tricksome smut but talk about triggering pRon. I can't help but say that this book has layers of angst and things that just should not be happening to people you like. But what's that saying? Bad things happen to good people, right?
Kenzie has a calling. She is determined to hack into the Galen servers. Intuition is telling her that they are up to no good. But her mission goes sideways, and she finds herself on Terramara as a guest of Galen Corp. Nothing is as it seems, and they want far more from her than they suggested to her on Earth.
Raza nearly broke my pervy heart. Orik and Atan round out Kenzie's harem, two aliens who are super easy to love.
And let me tell you, when Lizzy Bequin wasn't leveling me with the one-two punches in this story or making me fan myself from the smexy stuff, I was honestly beside myself with the machinations of the Galen Corporation. Talk about shady and long-armed? You know this is Big Brother in action, and this book made me more paranoid about drinking water and pharmaceuticals.
Thanks for that bit of neuroses, Lizzy.
All in all, this book is a roller coaster and not just for the sexy, steamy bits. Their Broken Vessel has a particular brutality about it that I felt more poignantly than her other books. Maybe Lizzy is PO'd about something, and she's self-medicating the hell out of it with this book, but this might be one of her best yet.

I was book stuffed when I was done and not even hungry for anything other than the next one.
Vail is still having boy problems, and in Heartless, they get direr. I mean, really, Simone Martin Leigh, could you give the girl a break? She must have relationship PTSD at this point. I'm not too fond of Callum, and he makes me want to puke in my shoe. He's a despicable alphason. I hope for bad things for him in the future. That isn't because of what happens in this book... that is a build-up over the series. Callum is an asshat, and I want a t-shirt that says that.
Book three in this series makes you want more of this story. I can't wait to see what happens with Vail, Jasper, Reed, Trey, and much more Marnie, please! I was a little frustrated because something that happens in Marrow hasn't lined up in HMA events yet, but I know it will be worth the wait as impatient as I am for Fearless.
Heartless is a five-star read. GO GET YOURS!

Opal Fairchild is here to hook you up. Her new book, Claimed in the Chaos, is the kinky stuff in which you seek.
When aliens invade Earth, Rowan sees her friends and neighbors captured and enslaved. Working to keep her ill father safe, she attempts to get him the medicine he needs to survive and meets up with her intergalactic destiny.
Claimed in the Chaos is a sci-fi romance romp that sizzles. Kruk is the kind of alien you want taking care of you both in and out of the nest.
If I have one complaint about this book, the slow burn became a pacing issue. I felt like it got bogged down before it got to the good stuff.
All in all, this is a solid read. I give it four stars.

Ella Kade battered my heart with First Down. I did not want to look away from this story.
First, let me say that I didn't read book one in the Willow Bay series, so I missed West and Fin's story. If Fin was the Alphahole that First Down suggests, I might be thankful for that! I loved him in this book, and all these characters come together magically.
Oz has been in love with his sister's best friend, Lo, for years. Trying to get Lo and his sister to see him as anything other than the womanizing, mistake-making kid he once was has been a challenge from which he hasn't backed down. When Lo is brutally assaulted, he finds there is one more thing he isn't willing to back down from, and that is facing her demons so she can sleep through the night.
This book will tear apart your heart and stitch it back together. It has hope and strength woven into even the most difficult parts. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The King's Omega is an RH Omegaverse novel with a touch of magic and a lot of steaminess. See Lorn and Vulkurn, the two hottest of Vali's males. Well, Axe is the sweetest, and Tarn is the most clever... Rigol is an asshat of all proportions, but there has to be one in every bunch.
Vali is introduced in the prequel novella, The Omega's Mischief, a great introduction to this Omegaverse series. I did have one tiny, 'hmmm, tell me more,' moment at the end of the novella when I wondered if the man chasing her is one of the main dudes in The King's Omega. Maybe Merri Bright could kiss and tell us if Vali has encountered a certain spymaster in the past when she writes her next book!
I loved this book, and it was one of my favorite reads of this year so far. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a Historical hot Omegaverse with lots of heroes and a heroine who can save herself.
Five mischievous stars.

Simone Leigh Martin has tantalized us now with Marrow, a book introducing us to the Marrow clan mentioned in her Hunter Moon Academy series. There is also a little peek of our HM friends in this Marrow, a pleasant surprise for sure.
Elijah Marrow is feral. He's the black sheep of the Marrow family and wild to boot. His mission is to protect the banes, the wolves who are voids or broken, those without any other pack allegiance. Elijah has a lot on his plate between the banes and his brother Lucas' refuge, but his hands aren't full until he meets someone 'other' who he must defend against an altogether different threat.
Living a double life, Stella Boone hardly knows herself. She doesn't even know where she spends her Friday nights, but it's not the book club Stella thinks she attends. Her inner beast takes over then, and that beast is a badass with an appetite until she finds one piece of meat that bites back.
I loved these two together. Stella and Elijah are something special. Sometimes you have these books where the characters only shine when they are together, but to be honest, Stella is the star her name implies and commands the scenes she's in, and I love her with both Benji and Elijah.
In this book, we are finally introduced to the entire Marrow family and finally meet Vail's grandfather and one of the threats to her life in the Half Moon Academy books. He's a doozy. Prepare for the monster to live up to his reputation.
I love the HMA books, and this Skin Walker book is a very tasty treat. I highly recommend it.

I liked Alien Meat Market more. The Raksha were just more to my liking. But Lizzy is a mistress of this particular genre, and she has a way of telling these stories that require you to take a cold shower or need a warm friend when you read them.
Maureen is an FBI agent abducted while investigating the woman's disappearance who is the heroine of the first book. When she wakes up at an auction for aliens, she knows she's in trouble. She just doesn't realize she's one of the aliens.
The Raksha, at the behest of their government, have been looking for humans who may need aid when they find Maureen. Tristn, Vaul, and Jrayk hurry to get her off the surface of the space station and to safety while a threat follows.
I liked the previous book more. This one was fine. I loved Tristn and Vaul, but there was much more real estate to appreciate during the last novel.
I do recommend the series. I recommend all of Lizzy's books. I'm a super fan of this author.

When creepy alThis review is for Eva Priest's Exiled.
Exiled is a nice introduction to the Earth 4040 series, and I didn't have many complaints at all.
When creepy aliens kidnap Ryne and her trip to a triple max prison goes sideways, she finds herself seeking refuge in an escape pod over a blue and green planet. Suspecting she will die, she radios a message saying one last goodbye--not realizing that the planet is inhabited.
Taurik is an Alpha who lives on Earth 4040. His suspicions of an invasion from those he fought against for his freedom are brought to life when he sees two unidentified objects crash near his settlement. When he investigates, he finds the unimaginable, an Omega female. His Alpha instincts are triggered, and he knows he must protect her at all costs.
Not a bad intro. I especially liked the Omegaverse aspect. I wish it were a longer offering. Taurik and Ryne are a great couple, and I think the world-building is interesting enough for me to continue to the next book.
But then again, I'm a sucker for Omegaverse books.
