Book Review: Rescuing Red by Leann Ryans and VT Bonds
Book Description
“You’re not worthy of a single sniff of her, and I’m not in the mood to give second chances. Let her go before I annihilate each and every single one of you.” -Blaide
Liz
As a rare kitsune omega, Liz keeps her three mischievous tails out of trouble by working at a library on a beta populated planet, but when she hears of an Empyre attack on her beloved Nana’s home, she hops on a transporter, willing to put herself in danger to lure her grandmother to safety. Except, when she lands on the chaotic planet, she ignores signs of her heat until it’s too late. Surrounded by evil alphas, she prays for a savior.
When a massive, furry beast with cold eyes and sharp claws saves her, she’s captivated by his scent yet terrified of his size.
Her werewolf savior asks for only one thing in return.
To claim her.
Blaide
After years as a soldier, Blaide seeks solace on the quiet, scarcely populated planet of Jun’Gale, until the enemy he fought for years threatens his haven. Unable to ignore those in need, he leads the nearby townsfolk to safety behind city walls, except before he can return to the wilderness, an alluring scent pulls him into an alley.
His protective instincts flare like never before as he meets the gorgeous, curvy little fox’s eyes. She’s too sweet and innocent for the mongrels of the city and too perfect for a battle-hardened warrior like himself.
When her tails wrap around his, he’s a goner.
He needs her. Forever.
Rescuing Red (Sci-Fi Fairytale Fusions Book 1) is a spicy, action-packed, alien monster omegaverse retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with a possessive, protective werewolf alpha (no shifting), a headstrong, innocent female omega, touch her and die vibes, forced proximity, and grumpy/sunshine opposites attract instalust deliciousness.
This story contains adult themes and is intended for 18+ readers.
Can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.
My Review
Liz finds out that the planet that her grandmother is on is about to be invaded by bad aliens. She asks her mother for help but since her grandmother refuses to leave, there's nothing her mother will do. So Liz goes alone to try and talk her Nana into leaving.
After getting on the planet things are in chaos because everyone knows an invasion is imminent and when Liz tries to get to where her Nana lives, security forces stop her and won't let her pass. Liz has no other choice but to get a hotel room and get some rest and try again later. But she comes in contact with several Alphas who want to do her harm since she's an Omega and almost in heat.
Blaide is intrigued by Red/Liz and saves her from the Alphas before they can harm her. The problem is there's an instalust between Liz and Blaide right away. He agrees to help Liz find and get her Nana out of harm's way, but he also wants to claim her as his mate.
Blaide is retired military so the security who turned Liz away let's Blaide and Liz through when she's with him. He's made himself a den out in the woods on this planet and that's where they go to seal their mating. Then they are off to find Liz's Nana and make her leave with them.
This was a fun ride. You get a Little Red Riding Hood re-telling with this book, as well as Alpha/Omega heat, mating, and knotting all the while trying to outrun the invading alien soldiers and save Nana.
I enjoyed the journey they found themselves on.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
