Book Review: The Naga Hunters Lost Mate by Robin O'connor

 

Book Description

I am caught by a beast but the longer he has me, the more I lose the desire to escape.

Charlie

Everything is terrifying and strange on this alien planet I’ve crashlanded on. Especially the purple-scaled snakeman that ‘rescued’ me. When I run, he just follows me and I realize that maybe I don’t want to escape. How crazy is that?

When his Clan threatens me, we’re hunted, and there’s only one option. We run and surrender to the sizzling desire between us.

Mox

The scaleless female ignites my mating sigils. I catch her, never to let her go. She is curvy and tempting and when danger lurks I will do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means giving up all that I knew, even if it means abandoning my Clan.

For a chance at happiness in her arms? I would risk it all.

This is a standalone novella, prequel to the Serpents of Serant Series. This steamy sci-fi monster romance features one barbaric Naga, a savvy human woman, and a steamy HEA.


My Review

When Charlie wakes up on an alien planet. She has no idea how she got there. When she spots a stasis pod near her, she knows that it crash landed on this alien planet, and that's the only thing that saved her from dying when they crashed.

Mox was out hunting. When he came across Charlie, who was just trying to find a safe place. But Charlie came across another predator called a rakeworm and the rakeworm was about to eat her for dinner, So Mox did the only thing he could and saved her from it.

Mox saves her twice and at first they could not understand each other and then as long as they were touching each other they were able to understand each other and speak. Mox was some sort of alien human hybrid as he had a human torso but a snake body. Mox knew that Charlie was his mate because he was having mating signs in his body but Charlie wasn't understanding what he was talking about at first.

Mox wanted to keep Charlie safe and brought her back to his village. But then things go badly, and they ended up having to leave his village and try to live either with other outcasts or by themselves, either way was fine with them.

This was a quick read as it was only 80 pages long but it was a nice prequel to this series and I'll definitely be reading more of it.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

  1. This sounds like a wild ride—alien planets, dangerous snakemen, and instant “don’t leave me” chemistry!

  9. Sounds like a nice taste of the series to come. Interesting about how they can figure out the language issue by touching.

    1. I liked that he didn't have to transplant some device to talk to her.
