What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.Nakia may have lost a leg during the Invasion, but she’s not going to let that keep her from what she wants.And she wants Rohn. She has since the moment the alien warrior rescued her from a collapsed building. But she’s afraid he still only perceives her as a damaged, frail human. She wants him to recognize her as so much more, and she won’t rest until he … as so much more, and she won’t rest until he understands they belong together.
Rohn might be past his prime, but he’s not blind.
He sees how the other males look at his mate with envy, admiration, and want. They would tempt her away from him, take her for their own, and claim that an old, scarred warrior like him could not satisfy the appetite of a vibrant young female.
He’ll battle any threat to his mate, friend or foe, and prove himself worthy.

Mmm, there’s nothing like a Mahdfel warrior!
I really enjoy having an older guy as the love interest: “Silver Fox,” Gray Wolf” (depending on his mood). Rohn is the epitome of the honorable, protective warrior. The part he plays in Nakia’s rescue (and injury) is pivotal in how she faces her future. The wait between ‘meet’ and ‘mate’ was pretty long, but gave Nakia time to develop self assurance and inner strengths that help make her just the right woman for Rohn.
A great love story; so much excitement!
Strength wins Love. Nakia as a teenager lost part of her leg during an invasion of earth, never forgot Rohn, the alien who pulled her out of the rubble and who stayed by her side for weeks to protect her. As an adult, she tested for a match with a Mahdfel warrior and Rohn was one of her matches. She knew immediately he was hers and she was going to grab this chance for love. Rohn thought he was too old and damaged to have a mate. She showed him strength will bring them love. Loved the ending.
The after effects of war can be a terrible thing, some handle it well and others let it consume them. This tale explores both good and bad decisions. The author gives us insights into all 3 characters affected that fateful day and she shows how Rohn handled his perceived responsibility for the death of one & injury to another. I think Paax’s clan was the perfect place for Rohn to wind up, having the human mates on board was just what Nakia needed when she arrived.
I love this book! Seriously can’t recommend it enough.
An excellent story that will hold you till the end! Rohn and Nakia will make you believe in love again. The story is full of hurdles that they have to beat and emotions they have to work through. The plot is excellently executed with dips and surges, twists and misunderstandings. It was really hard to put down! I loved Nakia’s attitude, her joi de vivre, her positivity. I’m glad she went after what she wanted.
I love this series.
This is a sweet story about enduring love. It is about two people seeing each other for who they are instead of their bodily flaws. Rohn and Nakia were endearing characters with great chemistry.
superb Human-Mahdfel romance
Sixteen years ago, his impatience and irritation at a a diva female contributed to the shuttle crash that killed her, and crushed a school building. His warlord ordered him to assist survivors, and so Rohn freed teenaged Nakia from the rubble, and saw her through the amputation of her leg and her recovery and rehabilitation. She developed a crush on him, and he reminded her of a few harsh truths – the upshot being he left her heartbroken.. Now at 32, divorced lawyer Nakia has just won the Mahdfel bride lottery. Her mate? Scarred and grey-haired Rohn! You’ll love this story, as go-for-it, generous and forgiving Nakia teaches guilt-wracked Rohn that duty may be noble, but it’s no substitute for embracing love when it walks into your life. Sexy times, jealous fits, grudges, and warriors’ conflicts – not to mention the ever-present Suhlik war threat – add spice and urgent drama to this beautiful May-December alien romance.
What a enjoyable and entertaining read. This fast-paced read was so worth the wait. Filled with plenty of laughable moment and also some sad ones add in so action, intrigue, and of course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end. Overall a fantastic series can’t wait to see what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
