My alien overlord is huge, all-powerful, and determined to claim me!
Every human girl growing up on New Terrhan knows one thing… that she will be taken by one or several Xalthurian males when she turns twenty-one. The Xalthurians are rough, domineering, and huge all over. But, this is the deal our leaders struck, so that they would provide our human colony with desperately needed supplies...
If the baby born from our taking is a girl, we will be allowed to keep it. If the baby is a boy, it will be taken away, never to be seen again. That is the way it has always been, on our small planet and that is the way it will always be...
I should accept my fate, but I can’t! When they come for my sister’s baby boy, I dare to defy the alien, they call “Tel”. As it turns out, “Tel” means prince. But rather than killing me for my insolence, the future overlord vows to return to the planet. When I am twenty-one...
He’s huge, all-powerful, and determined to claim me! Can I stop him? And how will I answer when the question becomes, do I want to? FIVE BOUNDLESS STARS
Set way in the future a group of Human colonist leave overpopulated earth looking to start a new life. When their ship crash lands they are forced into a treaty with the Xalthurian's. In exchange for supplies, they will offer up their 21-year-old daughters to be used as broodmares once a year. The Xalthurian's will keep all male children, and the females will stay with the colonists. That is until one fearless human girl spits in the prince's face. I LOVED this story. I loved that Kira had so much fire and drive and wasn't going to give in. She would rather die fighting. Then there was D'Rek who is menacing but honestly would do anything for Kira. There are just so many cultural differences he doesn't know where to start. Then let's not forget his pride and arrogance. The story is scorching hot, with a bit a mystery, danger, and action thrown in. It was everything I want in a sci-fi romance. I am giving it 5 Boundless stars.
