Elgan had almost given up on finding his fated mate. Then a runaway set his heart on fire.
When Diamond escaped captivity, she did whatever it took to survive. The streets of Gael were tough, especially for a Terran female, but she had grown up tougher. There was no time for sentiment or love, and fated mates were a myth she’d long stopped believing. She’d saved herself and it was always going … herself and it was always going to be that way… no matter how hot her would-be rescuer was.
Everything about Elgan’s strong, toned body told Diamond that the whispered rumors about the big, blue beasts were true. She would never admit it, but a deep, hidden part of her wanted to explore every last inch of the warrior.
Something about her scent, the fire in her eyes, ignited a deep, primal spark within Elgan: an insatiable desire to claim her for his own. In that moment he vowed to keep her safe from the battle, to satisfy her in every way and to love her as his own forever.
The only problem? Diamond had no idea just how far he’d go to keep her safe.

Diamond is a human surviving using her wits and at times her body in an alien world. When she meets Elgan with his almost courtly airs she figures it’s a new angle towards getting her to do something exotic sexually. When he rescues her she’s definitely not certain what is required of her. As far as Diamond is concerned she knows better than to let her guard down and take what Elgan says at face value.
Elgan knows that Diamond is his mate and he patiently waits for Diamond to understand that his caring for her is genuine and she doesn’t have to do anything unless she wants to with him.
Both characters are likeable and while Diamond did have some rather impulsive, stupid moments I did begin to get somewhat connected to them. Some of the storyline did get a bit out there. For me the plot was a bit lacking and not fleshed out enough to really capture and hold my attention.

Right from the start the adventure began. Diamond and Elgan meet in a very different way. This book is an exciting read, there’s kidnapping, rescuing and danger. A fabulous book.

What a sweet story. Elgan doesn’t believe that he’s finally found his mate. She’s a Terran named Diamond and she’s surviving on the streets of Gael. She doesn’t believe in love or fated mates but the big blue rescuer has got her attention. Will Elgan be able to prove to Diamond that he can keep her safe and to love her like his very own? Will she give him a chance? Will Diamond be able to trust Elgan to deliver on what he’s telling her? I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Simple yet classic
Girl meets alien, alien says, ‘Your my mate’, culture confusion becomes love. Add in some additional confusion because she previously sold her body to survive, which results in her propositioning the ship’s mates captain, and the cringe-worthy results. Parts of this story are heart-breaking, like when she keeps believing that her mate will come rescue her. The characters could have been more developed, but all in all, a solid book.
I love this genre and this is a well-written plot and characters. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.
I enjoyed the story line, the fast paced action, suspense and the love passion between Elgan and Diamond. Diamond is an escaped slave and uses her body and wits to survive the streets of Gael, before her escape she was a sex slave to her master and she has no other skills to survive. When Elgan meets Diamond he knows she is his mate, she has learned that nothing comes for free and not to expect kindness form anyone, ensuring that she does not believe that Elgan wants to take care her her, she believes he wants a freebie. Elgan resorts to paying her to come on to the spaceship with him. With this mindset Diamond she gets herself into some sticky situations and when she tries to apologize she gets kidnapped and sold. I liked the HEA at the end and would read other books in the series.
