If it wasn't for editing! Ugh... Still, 4 stars :D
So much delicious fun with a twins puzzle and a murder to figure out :) Adorable!

Good luck following the story. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Skip it, don't waste your time.

Ambassador Janel is proud to have finally brokered an alliance with the powerful Haraden. What cinched the deal? The Haraden warriors want brides. Since war ravaged her planet’s male population they actually have a surplus of women looking for husbands. It seems like a win-win.

General Kordan, the austere Haraden negotiator Janel spent days wearing down, approaches her out of the blue. She’s not married—and the warrior general has his eyes on her. For some reason, she feels compelled to go to him.

Unfortunately her timing for a visit to a Haraden home world could not have been worse. Was she being courted or confiscated

Review

Sigh. Just when this romance was really going to take off and we were going to get couple time, cultural adjustments, and courting, the plot turns into betrayal on a global scale lameness.

Bummer.

Cruel alien masters have oppressed Tabitha for the last ten years. An Alliance observer discovers that she’s been experimented on and pulls her from the slave colony. She’s going to be granted the privilege of becoming an indentured bride.

Tabitha doesn’t see her new assignment as a privilege. Her duties seem pretty clear cut, and she knows what Hax-Rah aliens are like. The last thing she wants is to be stranded on a moon with one.

Hex-Lord Jaxil took an isolated mission for a reason, and he never asked for a bride.

Review

This is a dark world with little light. The heroine remains a slave as does the hero.

The heroine is a product of what has been done to her.

But there is a sweetness to this romance even if it ends too quickly and needs a lot more happy for my tastes. There is a nice bit of revenge though.
