Book Description
New world. New Rules. New problems.
Anna needs to find her feet before she kneels at Harkin’s.
Harkin never thought he’d find someone compatible. But tests don’t lie, even secret ones. Anna’s everything he wants — needs — but he’s supposed to be caring for her, not taking advantage. Arkians don’t even recognize mates anymore, so why can’t he stay away from her?
He needs to concentrate, he’s got a job to do — catching determinists. And they have taken an interest in the Earthling he’s starting to think of as his.
Anna left everything behind — thank goodness, it wasn’t looking good. Settling into her new home should be easy, they have a school for that.
Things never go to plan, do they?
Luckily, she knows just the guy to take her home and keep her safe. She wants Harkin — he’s big, sometimes bossy, and he’s good to her.
Unfortunately, she’s his ward, and she can’t even book a transport pod alone. What’s the difference between love and gratitude?
Each book in the Guardians of Arksis series is a standalone romance with a happy ending. Life on Arksis is different, and they are much more open about many things. Expect a whole new world with steamy scenes, light BDSM and a unique approach to relationships.
This spicy, steamy sci-fi romance is for adults only.
My Review
Anna gets approved to go to Arksis because Earth is not faring too well. Some Earthlings get approved to go to Arksis but they get transformed into Arkians and have to learn the rules, customs and they go to school after getting to the planet in order to learn things about their new world before they can take the citizenship tests and be considered citizens. Only then can they leave and live their lives.
Harkin is a Guardian and hosts Anna in his home as she studies and gets used to things. But they are compatible as mates and aren't supposed to know it yet. They spend time together in VR where they can do things that they can't anywhere else. But as they spend time together Harkin finds out that there are bad guys who want his human to experiment on before she gets her citizenship and that jolts the danger way up.
Watching these two get to know one another was fun especially because the Arkians are not shy about sex, nudity and talking about what they like and want. Anna is human and a little more reserved but she starts getting used to things and their customs as time goes on.
There is some light BDSM in this book but it's completely consensual and not at all rough or extreme. This was a fun, sexy read and I look forward to reading the next book now.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
