Book Blurb

Travel the universe, meet new people, and find some nice ass...what was wrong with that plan?

Layden had to take it one step further and fall in love with a man his complete opposite. Lavender was of the Feline clan while Layden of The Golden Wolf Clan. The sex was fantastic. It was everything else that was the challenge. Although, every big fight ended in a world-class romp.

Even with all the yelling, Layden fell in love with the lanky, finicky Lavender. Until the day their pasts came to find them and Lavender is kidnapped by his own people. Now Layden must find his problematic mate and save him before Lavender is lost forever.

Prepare for some epic failures in escape plans, frottage in a space suit, and a handsome twink that plays dirty.

 

Book Review

Two of the "handsome heroes" from the first book in the series are back, and I have to admit, the pairing of Layden of the Golden Wolf Clan and Lavender of the Feline Clan made me grin. They seemed to get in trouble all the time and to have a whole story devoted to their woes as a couple and other problems is great. I was happy to see that the humorous tone and overwhelmingly good fun everyone is having are as much a part of this book as the last. Serious romance this is not, but it’s just the ticket if you're looking for an adventure in outer space and great entertainment of the erotic sort. A true erotic space opera that gets more fun each time a new volume is added.

Layden carries the DNA of his wolf ancestors, and it shows in the way he thinks and behaves. He is also very much a man, and has fallen for Lavender, a man driven by his feline DNA. The way they behave together had me in stitches. Layden is all possessive, mine, mine, mine. Lavender is very playful and loves to tease the “stupid mutt”. In the end, it’s clear they really love each other and when Layden’s attempt at providing a home for Lavender so they can settle down goes wrong, they quickly realize it’ll take both of them actually cooperating if they want to survive.

From the teasing nicknames and not so teasing insults they throw at each other to the unlikely events that take place, this is a very entertaining story. A kidnapping is only the beginning of it all. Secrets are revealed, spaceships are stolen, and one of the best interludes, I think, is the scene where Layden and Lavender are bored while they’re hiding and decide to have frottage in space suits. Yes, I know it’s most unlikely, but hey, I had fun reading it.

If you like space opera with a good dose of humor, if the facts and reality are less important to you than having a good time, and if you’re willing to suspend your disbelief for a read that is as hot as it is outrageous, then you will probably like this novella.
