A Qurilixen World NovelDragon-shifter Lochlann left home to avoid a war he didn’t believe in. Now as Captain of The Conqueror, in charge of a misfit crew, all he wants is to return without the label of coward. He’s been offered one chance at redemption: Find Margot, a noblewoman’s missing sister. The only problem is, the woman disappeared years ago, and his closest lead is a stunningly beautiful … beautiful look-a-like droid crafted in her image. Alexis is programed to be everything he could ever desire, but getting her to reveal her secrets proves to be a true challenge for this alpha male.
Being a base model pleasure droid isn’t as glamour as it sounds. Alexis can’t remember a time when she wasn’t the property of others. Multiple surgeries, and endless tests, have amounted to a life not worth living. When a pirate crew visits her facility, she sneaks onto their ship. Desperate not to be returned to her owners, she strikes a deal with the alluring captain. Pretend to be Margot in exchange for freedom.

The answer to what happened to Lady Kendall’s sister from The Stubborn Lord: A Qurilixen World Novel (Dragon Lords Book 6).
Wow! Lochlann and Alexis’ story is awesome. Lochlann is trying to restore his honor and be able to return home to Qurilixen. Alexis is the companion model nine-point-seven and she wants to end her suffering. Of course with Lochlann being dragon shifter, he must protect her and is instantly drawn to her. Once Alexis’ secret is revealed and we find out that her previous owners don’t want to let her go, an epic escape commences. Alexis holds the information about Margo (Lady Kendall’s lost sister).
Somehow Alexis and Lochlann bond – she feels safe with him and she has become his everything. The whole crew gets some great page time and Rick (who in my Doctor Who addled brain has been labeled Ricky the Idiot) actually shines (I really cannot wait for his story). Alexis proves many times just how strong of a character she is despite everything she has gone through. Lots of great cameos from the Dragon Lords, Var, and Space Lords series.
It’s a fantastic page turner with a great story and a few smexy scenes. As I read mainly for story, this book is exactly what I like.
What a compelling read once started impossible to put down until the final page
As always, another wonderful story the author Michelle M. Pillow whose books I always find to be extremely well written with wonderful characters and absolutely wonderful plots that hold my attention from start to finish, I am sure that you will be as intrigued by this book as myself.
Lochlan has been not been happy since Jarek returned to Quirixen unfortunately Lochlan is not able to return until he has been able to clear his name and his reputation, both of these things are extremely important to him and his honour is simply something he could not live without.
Lochlan has been travelling through space and through numerous galaxies as he searches for the evidence, he needs to prove his honesty, with the curse that has been placed on him and his crew he feels as though he is up against a brick wall at times. Alexis is a human and not a droid and she has endured so much and at times she has actually been mistaken as part machine.
Alexis and Lochlan have been bound together, unfortunately as they try to experience their bond and explore the pleasure it could bring, they have self-doubt, questioning their every action which obviously put a dampener on the whole interlude and the brakes once on are hard to remove. This couple have been through so much and with the evil Doc Murky thrown into the mix actually succeeding in staying alive and in one piece, both physically and mentally is quite the achievement.
I do not want to spoil the whole plot and the outcome for other readers but am sure that you will ensure the read as much as myself.
I look forward to future books in this series the Space Lords certainly keep you on your toes and guessing.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
Rick finds a Droid and brings her on board Lachlann’s ship. Alexis 9.7 bleeds red not green. She’s human. I like this book, the description of the world makes it so real. The romance is really sweet. I suggest listening to this book, the narrators voice draws you in immediately. He does a lot of Michelle’s audiobooks I believe. This was a fun and fast listen.
Audiobook review: I believe that I will remember this story for quite sometime to come. A horrific tragedy turned into a budding romance many years later. The story twist was not one that I saw coming. Nice addition to the series. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Another Home Run!!
Lochlann is a Draig dragon shifter that has been exiled from his home planet of Qurilixen. He has been given a chance to end his exile if he can find Lady Kendall’s sister, Margot. It seems to be an impossible task. They haven’t found a single clue that she is still alive. When their pilot, Rick, gets a hit on a pleasure planet, everyone just assumes he made it up because he wants to go and have a good time. They find a pleasure droid that looks like Margot should look as an adult, but Lochlann dismisses it as another false lead. What he doesn’t know is that the newest model of the pleasure droid, Alexis, follows Rick back to the ship. He assumes Rick has stolen her and it is too late to return her because they don’t have enough fuel. And then the fun begins! You will laugh and cry, and what a surprise ending!!

A true sci-fi story with all of the “feels”. I so enjoyed this mixture of Qurilixen Draig mythology and deep space action adventure. But what would an exciting storyline be without the characters that grab your heart and imagination. Lachlan has the Draig’s ingrained since of honor and old fashioned manners, but better than that he is progressive in his beliefs that all species can get along, even dragons and cats. Alexis has had a sad life and as our tale goes on I was even brought to tears. But underneath the pain is a resilience few can boast. With some twists I didn’t see coming this read kept me riveted from page one!

Another successful match!
Another of the cursed five has met their love match. Of course poor pilot Rick is bound and determine to be mated to a metal element only it isn’t his time.Captain Lochlann is the one to get the metal maiden. After the distress signal the merry crew investigate a possible match for Lady Kendall’s long lost sister, Margot. However things do not turn out as expected and the crew escape with their lives. Revelations are revealed and we get our happy ending. Our journey has conquered three of the five basic elements: water, fire and metal. Moving on toward the next element.
This was a story that I had been looking forward to for what seems like a very long time and I was not disappointed. The character work and story line were well written and attention grabbing which I have come to expect from this author. The narrator did a terrific job of bringing the story to life and made this enjoyable to listen to as it was to read.
I received an ARC of this book and a copy of the audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Another chance to romp with our Dragon Lords offshoot heroes!! A wonderful mix of Sci-fi and PNR romance. We finally get to find out what has happened to Margot!!!!
Lochlann is captain of a very motley, enthusiastic and exuberant crew but he has a mission from Jarek, find Margot! When the ship finds a clue at a pleasure doll manufacturing plant the crew descends to try and find Margot but the cute but randy Rick finds a pleasure doll who seemingly wants to escape and they get her onboard. Lochlann can’t believe the uncanny likeness that Alexis has to Margot.
Alexis has been programmed, tampered with, enhanced and upgraded to become the epitome of pleasure droids. But in moments of lucidity she tries to sabotage her owners company. She makes it on board with Rick but she soon suffers from downloading too much info too quickly and gets stuck in a loop and has a hard time telling what is real and what is fantasy. When the ship is attacked she does her best to help her rescuers.
I love this crew of misfits! Rick is that little brother who is fascinated with women to the extreme, Vic and Lucien bicker as brothers do. Dev is stoic and Lochlann carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, suffering from a self imposed disconnection from his homeworld. Alexis is such a strong but equally mentally fragile character. The unfolding of her story, intertwined with snapshots of Margots life, is quite emotive and I had a tear a time or two! Mucky doesn’t quite get what he has coming to him but he does get a right good kicking (literally!!)
The Conqueror crew will steal your heart!!
