Book Review: JoAquin by Charmaine Ross

 

Book Description

When my car broke down in the middle of nowhere, I knew I’d be in trouble. I just didn’t imagine it would be this kind of trouble.

I’ve been abducted by aliens. Not the hot, sexy kind those romance novels like you to believe. The aliens that abducted me are terrifying. There’s something in my blood they want, and they stop at nothing to take it from me.

Then I’m rescued by the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on only to learn he’s an alien and his rescue attempt went wrong. Very wrong. I’m not on Earth anymore and the Reptiles are after us on an alien planet. We’ve been taken prisoner by the planet’s natives and an old shaman woman tells me I’m the key to freeing thousands of mind-enslaved.

My rescuer is cold and aloof and should be off-limits but there’s something about the way he touches me that sets my skin on fire and sparks flowing through my veins. I’ve been through enough heartache to last a lifetime and now my soft heart is at risk again. I’m not the saviour everyone wants me to be and if I don’t resist his touches I’ll lose more than just my heart. The whole universe will be at risk.

My Review

Lauren's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and she thinks that's bad but then she's abducted by reptilian aliens and she knows they don't have good intentions. But commander JoAquin and his people rescue her, the only problem is they don't quite make it back to his ship before they are thrown through a wormhole and land on an unknown planet. JoAquin (Jo) is hurt and so is Lauren so they can't fight off the aliens on the planet that 'save' them. 

This planet is over run by the evil reptilian aliens so hiding is essential to stay alive. But the reptilians have done something to Lauren and it's only a matter of time before things are going to take a very bad turn. The old Shaman woman that heals them both tells Lauren she's the key to saving the others enslaved by the reptilians but it's not going to be an easy thing to do. What she has to do is hard for her and Lauren to come to grips with but in the end it was the right choice.

All the while Lauren and Jo are fighting the attraction they feel for one another as they find a way to fight the evil reptiles. This was a slow burn romance and I really liked that these two took their time getting to know one another as they dealt with everything that was going on around them. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
