Book Description
Nadia Volkov knew she was a political pawn, a human "gift" to secure peace with the most dangerous aliens in the quadrant.
She expected imprisonment, cruelty, and a quick death if she was lucky. She didn't expect Ravek.
The Pack Alpha is massive, terrifying, and absolutely furious that his body has chosen a fragile human as his fated mate. He should reject her. Send her back. Pretend the soul-scent doesn't hit him like a narcotic every time she's near.
But he’s obsessed.
Now Nadia is trapped between a mate who watches her like prey and a bond that's rewriting her DNA. She should be afraid, but the most dangerous alien in the universe kneels only for her.
Fated mates. Possessive alpha. One bond that changes everything.
My Review
The Keth’ari are a predatory race of aliens that have taken over worlds, when they set their sights on Earth, the politicians and government got together and agreed to send the Keth'ari a gift in the form of Nadia. She comes from a prominent political family and knew what was expected of her. She was supposed to kneel in front of the Prince to show Earth's submission to the aliens. But Nadia stood her ground, not knowing if she would anger Ravek and be killed on the spot or be kept as a slave.
But Ravek found her brave even before he caught her scent and knew she was his mate. So, she's shown to her quarters, where she has no idea what awaits for her future.
While the bond is affecting both Ravek and Nadia, she has no idea what's happening to her at first, but Ravek does. He feels the pull of the bond very strongly and wants to give Nadia time to get used to her surroundings but he's quickly becoming obsessed with her.
Ravek sees red when another male tries to talk to Nadia but after that they start spending time together getting to know one another and find they have a hard time keeping their hands off each other. The bond they share flares hot, so he has to explain what's happening to her and them.
This was a quick, fun read. I really liked how strong Nadia was in the face of being given to an alien who she had no idea how he would treat her. It was fun to watch their bond bring them closer. That book cover was what made me stop and read what this book was about. I love the cover.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
