Book Description
Cloning myself is crucial to my survival…
Because who else can I trust to distract the human commander while I’m mating his daughter?
Her work is hard, the days are long, and her father — the only family she has in this entire universe — spends his days avoiding her.
She says it’s fine.
He’s busy. His job is important. He has a responsibility to his men, and to the Alliance. His rank means he has to uphold a certain image — one her attention-seeking behaviors could easily tarnish if he’d even look her way to notice, but he never does — and his constant rejection makes the brightness in her eyes fade a little more each time.
I can’t take it.
All she wants is to feel loved.
And once I’ve made her mine...
That’s all she’ll ever feel.
My Review
Eden is a doctor working in a medical ward during the war with alien species. Not all aliens are bad though even though humans aren't allowed to mate with aliens. If they do they get sent away to a camp with other aliens and humans who are mated. Eden meets Vin when he brings in wounded soldiers after a mission but something strange is going on because some of the soldiers look just like him. Twin brothers, triplets?
Vin works with Eden's father, his commander so even though he starts falling for her right away and tells her his secret, they know they can't be together because of the rules and who her father is. Her father is aloof and though she loves him, he seems to keep his distance as well as keeping an emotional distance from her. I definitely didn't care for her father at times.
Once Vin's secret is revealed, I wasn't sure how she or her father were going to take it especially once the two get together and become mates. The world building, and the prejudice against the aliens who are fighting with the humans to beat back the bad aliens was unjust at the very least. Our government seemed to think the aliens were good enough to fight along side us but not good enough to mate with our human people. It really gave the reader something to think about.
I loved this book and will definitely be reading more.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
