Arthos, the Infinite City, is a place of alien wonders and indescribable beauty—and, most importantly for Samantha, it’s also halfway across the universe from her abusive ex-fiancé. She came to the city desperate for a fresh start, but she finds herself downtrodden on a world of aloof alien beings with little hope of finding her place—and a good chance of being kidnapped or killed before she can … can even settle in.
At least until she is saved by an irresistible alien with piercing eyes and a seductive smile.
Alkorin is the living embodiment of temptation, and he makes no effort to disguise his desire for her. But when his past threatens to drag her into a dangerous underworld, she discovers he isn’t who he claims to be. After enduring so much suffering, can she bear to take a leap of faith with this mysterious alien? Can she trust him with not only her life, but her heart?

I love this book. I love all of Tiffany’s books, to be fair. But this one in particular stands out to me. Arcanthus, the male lead, is witty, fun, endearing, and…well, a sexy alien. What more can you ask for?
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a romance with an alien that isn’t just some buff guy painted blue. This guy looks, acts, and…eh…functions…like an alien. 😛
Shielded heart is book 2 in the infinite city series, it’s an exciting book with amazing world building, full of action and suspenseful moments that makes me wanna close my eyes but also I love how some lighthearted moments are weave unto this story. It’s absolutely addictive and I can’t get enough. I can’t wait for Drakkal story.
I am seriously addicted to the Infinite City series. And the second book is even better than the first! I dare you to not be charmed by Arcanthus. I DARE YOU!
If I could wave a magic wand and bring any book Hero of my choosing to life it would be Arcanthus. Alien? Check. Cyborg? Check. Delicious? CHECK.
This is an amazing read! Arcanthus is an identity forger who was entranced by human females after his last job. He finds Samantha while hacking the city’s database and is immediately intrigued. He accidentally meets her and he shows her some of the city but is caught on camera by a previous enemy. He’s forceful and she is shy but proves herself to be stronger than she thought. Lots of action, steamy sex and love blossoming.
I really enjoyed and recommended the first book in this series, so I’m not surprised that I also loved the second book in this series, which is “Alkorin’s” story. The world building is still phenomenal and the characters are very engaging. Even the side characters are well developed and fleshed out, and I can’t wait to read their stories and learn more about them. Especially Drakkal!
Shielded Heart’s hero is absolutely gorgeous, and he’s also quite aware of that fact and possesses some serious arrogance, but it’s tempered by charm and a heart-breaking back story. The heroine, Sam, really comes into her own in this story, beginning as timid and uncertain because of her abused background, but developing throughout the story as the best characters do. By the end of the book, I loved them both, though I have to admit, the secondary character, Drakkal, is the one who stole my heart, and I’ll be eagerly anticipating his book! The plot is strong, the action scenes are fast-paced, and the romance is heated. I felt like I could visualize most of this book like it was a science fiction action-adventure movie with a lot of romance thrown in. My favorite! This one is very highly recommended!
Arcanthus (Alkorin) is quite possibly the most attractive (read hottest) alien I’ve ever read! Many thanks to the art of Sam Muraski and the brilliant minds of Tiffany Roberts! I won’t retell the plot for this one, but I will say that my favorite trope is alpha male saves female in danger. Shielded Heart ticked ALL of the boxes AND more. For the MORE, check out Tiffany Roberts’ website for that. Very steamy romance with a lot of good harrowing action. Make the time to read this in one sitting, if you can. It’s not short, but the story is WELL worth your time! 4.5 stars

This is a wonderful story of two people overcoming past baggage to be together. These two go down a long, winding road before Samantha is ready to trust enough to give her heart to another, even an alien she feels drawn to. Well written with action and romance.
