A story where Titanic meets Day After Tomorrow; two movies mashed into one new touching story. Willow was not only rescued from an unexpected disaster, she was rescued from just existing, to really live and be alive.

Luke was an alien warrior who first saved Willow, a young human from Mars Colony. She had been injured when the spaceship she was travelling crash landed. The second time he saved her was after she had recovered from her injuries, she had been attacked and was help captive with a knife to her throat, he killed the man and took her to safety on board his small ship. Willow had never felt more cared for and safe when she was in his arms, the attraction between them soon had them lovers but an old enemy caused their plans to change. This was a short, intense story of new found love and an enemy that would kill to protect his secrets. I found this story difficult to accept, the story line lacked reason and depth.

Just An Okay Space Romance Adventure
Alien Beast, by Sophie Stern, is the story of a young woman, Willow, who has been cast out by her parents because she refused to marry the man they had chosen for her. They have also blocked her and her twin sister Wilma’s attempts to speak with each other. As a result, Willow decides to spend her savings and take a month-long space cruise along with her best friend, Ashley, although Willow is flying economy and Ashley is flying first class. The cruiser is scheduled to make a stop at the planet Dreagle; however, that stop is to be skipped due to a war being fought on Dreagle. Nevertheless, the cruiser experiences problems and is forced to make a crash landing on Dreagle.
Lukanterao, from the planet Reslenoau, is a huge man, which has earned him the moniker of the Beast. Luke constantly repeats to himself that he’s not a hero, even though he is regarded as one; he’s just a man who wants to be on his ship with his best friend Lesmenterao. Luke recently rescued a number of children from Taneyemm who were being held captive on Dreagle, probably destined to become slaves or sex toys. The Taneyemm people hailed Luke as a hero and enlisted his aid in their war on Dreagle. This war has just been wrapped up when the cruise ship crash lands on Dreagle and the Taneyemm have enlisted Luke’s aid in a rescue mission. Just as he was ready to give up on finding anyone else alive on the lower decks, Luke discovers Willow, who has been injured, and carries her to safety. The remainder of the book relates their further adventures.
Although the book was okay, I was somewhat disappointed that the author glossed over so many of the subsequent events and how the people involved were able to do what they did. In addition, pages and pages were devoted to thinking about sex, masturbating and the actual sexual acts. I don’t mind a reasonable amount of sex in a book, but when it seems that over half the book is devoted to it, I don’t care for it. The final thing I was annoyed with was that the book started at 5% and ended at 82%, with the remaining 23% in the beginning and at the end devoted to all of the other books written by the author, together with a 3-chapter excerpt from another of her various series. As a result, the book was a lot shorter than I was anticipating.
This was an ARC version of the book and although I didn’t notice any typos, I did notice a number of incorrectly used words, for which I’ve made my notes available on Goodreads (or I will if I can ever figure out how to do so).

This book immediately drew me in and did not let me go. I loved the interaction between the characters and I was actually appreciative of the way that sexy times was done after they actually got to know one another. The book was very easy to follow even though it bounced around a little. I cannot wait to see where the next book leads.

The author has again given us characters we can connect with. Luke is a warrior that does not think he is worth much to anyone. Willow takes an airship cruise to visit other planets and her airship crashes onto a dark planet. Luke is the one that finds her in the wreckage and does not want to let her go.

Alien Beast by Sophie Stern is a tale of a warrior and a young woman who has been raised as a commodity for her parents. When she refuses the marriage they have planned for her she runs away and takes a trip to the stars. The ship she is in is sabotaged and goes down on a dark planet. She is rescued by a big brawny alien and it may just be the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
This is a fairly predictable tale but there are a few surprises along the way. A good escape.
This was a fairly quick read.
With an explosive beginning and a very hot middle and an even hotter end.
I enjoyed every moment of it.
Happy reading!

A fast moving story with layers of goodness – This is a story that will draw you in and keep you reading until you get to the end! I loved Wilma, i think she should have her own kick ass story. Willow and Luke were perfect for each other.The plot was twisted with some turns I did not see coming, I thought it was just going to be one way, and then the story pivoted on a pivot! When the action starts, it just doesn’t stop! The characters were believable, I felt bad for Willow at first, but was glad that she had her own back when she thought no one else did. A lot of people get lost in their own lives, and the author gave her enough self-possession to make her own way in the world. Her friend Ashley was a shallow character because you could tell that she had things going on that we weren’t told about yet. However, as a secondary character, I can imagine that her story would also be interesting to read. The story was great, but it felt rushed like there could have been more written about some of the major scenes to make the book bigger. The action scenes felt like they were the Readers Digest versions. they got the story told and gave you the bones but left out the meat. It didn’t take away from the readability of the story, it was fun to read with a lot of action. Thankfully the characters were written to get to know each other before they got intimate which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend this book.
