Difficult to put down, this is a compelling and emotionally gripping story! I was so into this story that I could not put it down once I started reading it. There was so much tragic and emotional back story that I absolutely teared up a few times. Max and Sasha each had enough heavy stuff in their pasts, that you could feel the heaviness of their souls. They were surrounded by people who loved them and saved them from themselves, and by the time they found each other I was rooting for them to be ready for a new story, a new page, a new reality. Caleb, Bri, and Anna were all strong supporting characters and I am looking forward to eventually seeing their stories told too. The story builds steadily and by the time the action begins to drive the story, you’ll be invested in the people and that will make the book that much more difficult to put down. I have been gifted an advanced review copy through Booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review. I loved this book, the author’s depiction of the loss of a child and a spouse is so spot-on, the feelings are so on point, so real, that just for that reason alone, although there are obviously many reasons to read this, I recommend that you read this one just as soon as you get the chance.
Destroyed by Sophie Stern is a great story to read. This is book number one in this great start to a brand new series that I have really enjoyed reading even though I do not read much Sci-Fi. I recommend this story to everyone who likes reading about Sci-Fi and Paranormal romance.

This is a great quick and easy read. This does not in any way mean that the story is simple or plain. There is lots going on and undercurrents of things to come. I have always loved alternate POV because is kind of gives me the feeling that I know more than the characters are willing to share, little power trip going on here. Sasha is a complete hero with all she has gone through and everthing she does after that. Max tries to run from feeling but he does see his mistakes when they are pointed out to him. How could you not want these two to find each other!
When your planet and life are destroyed what do you do?
Destroyed is the first book in the Alien Chaos series which introduces the reader to the a whole new universe and characters. This story centers on Sasha and Max who do not fall in love instantly but they do fall in love along the way. The story-line has action, intrigue, suspense, mystery, romance, love, family and a number of twists. Sasha’s planet is being destroyed and the only way to survive is to leave. So she and her cousin Caleb sneak onto an alien ship and become stowaways. Things are good until they aren’t as Caleb becomes sick and needs help which forces Sasha to wander out and try to find some. She does save Caleb and and along the way she also ends up saving the ship because of what she and Caleb had overheard while they were hiding. Max is an alien who is the captain of the ship. It is not a fighter ship but a cargo ship which brings supplies to planets and people in need. He has also suffered great loss as Sasha has.
This is a nicely written and enjoyable story. The premise of the series is interesting and well thought out and the characters are likeable and have depth and emotion. There are a number of different topics touched on in this book that have been handled well and it even though this book does not end on a cliffhanger it does appear that the series will have an overarching story-line that runs through them, along with characters overlapping.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Destroyed is a sci-fi romance which has well defined primary (Sasha and Max) and secondary (Caleb, Bri, and Anna) characters who you will feel a strong attachment to as their stories evolve. The plot has realistic character backgrounds, strong emotions, and a unique storyline. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves science fiction romance.

It was a great start to a new series. I really enjoyed the read. Sasha and Max have both have major losses in their life. Sasha finds her way onto a ship as a stowaway along with a family member. When they get sick, She takes the risk and ventures out for help essentially saving both their lives. She also ends up saving some of the crews lives too. Sasha and Max did fall in love soon after they met, but it wasn’t an insta-love. It was a deep and sometimes emotional read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

This well-written 1st book in the ALIEN CHAOS Series is a good book with great characters. These books build a great world and follow the lives of a well-fleshed out couple that have depth and strength. These stories are action-packed and has twists, turns, intrigue, suspense, mystery, chemistry, romance, and love. This must read story is a good start and I have now read the first 3 stories.

Soon both Sasha and Caleb are being treated and Max is finding himself drawn to Sasha. When they are approaching his home planet, Sasha remembers the conversation she overheard and knows she has to warn Max. She and Bri arrive on the scene in time to provide some much needed help and a distraction. Arriving home, Max vows to keep Sasha safe, cared for and loved and vows to do all he can to continue to help Caleb recover from the illness that wracked his body.
