This is the second book I’ve read in this series. I enjoyed this one even more than the other book I read (which was The Playful Prince). Great world building. I really liked the characters. Sam and her crew really amused me in the beginning and I warmed up to them fast. They felt like family. I really liked Prince Falke as well. I was very impressed with his patience in the situation he found himself in in the beginning. Good world building. The story kept me interested from beginning to end. I enjoyed it. 4 stars.
Another hot read from a world that I love to escape to. I have to say that I love the scavenger hunt and the Prince’s reaction to his situation. This story was GREAT!!! I Loved everything about it!!!

Secrets and misconceptions drive this angsty fated mate tale. Stoic rough tough Falke gets captured by a female captain and her crew, his brothers will never let him live it down. But this female smells delicious and drives him crazy. Samantha is living her truth with the family she made for herself she can’t possibly settle down no matter how much Falke wedges himself in her heart. Besides the romance though there is so much action and fun. Great read.

Wow. I really enjoyed this book it is full of lots of adventure, romance and suspence. This book is part of a series and I would recommend you reading them in order to get the best out of it. This series is set in a well developed world with great characters. This world has many series in it and all are worth reading as they intertwine. Best to check Michelle’s website for the best reading order.

The more and more I read this series I cannot decide who’s my favourite but Prince Jerek is definitely up there.
This book is about a girl and her friends find a big ole kitty cat and brings him home. Only the next morning after waking with a hangover she finds that kitty more than she bargained for. It starts with Samantha Dorsey and some of her friends/crew getting drunk on some nasty rum they had found aboard the spacecraft. While they were drunk they decide to go to the planet of Qurilixen and hunt for the last remaining items on their Scavenger list . They find it in a form of beautiful rare white tiger. They decide to capture it and bring it back to the ship.
Sam awakes the next morning to find their prized tiger it more then what they bargained for instead in the cage where a tiger should be was the the most beautiful sexist man she had ever see….that must have been some rum. Sam finds she must face her past and who she truly is in order to find out the truth of who Jarek is to her and to get things done in order to help out the ship and crew.
Jarek is doing what is does and loves best being a warrior and running wild and free in shifted form that of a white tiger. He’s whole world is turned upside down when he is kidnapped by a beautiful drunken woman and her friends. He is drugged a carted off. When Jarek comes to on her spaceship and decides to get her back for what she has done, but things don’t go as planned. He plans escape but yet he wants to stay, he want to hate her yet he is attracted to her in a big way.
Sam finds she wants Jarek but fights her feeling for him but she and Jarek share a bed. Jarek was always good a not showing how he’s truly felt and what he felt for Sam was more than attraction but he keeps telling himself no. The more they bond the stronger their feeling grow for each other and they both lie to themselves about their feelings leading to confusion and hurt as the other wonders why the other doesn’t love them.
This is a wonderful addition to the series, thoroughly enjoyed the book
This was a simply wonderful read that I was totally drawn into and once read I had to finish in a single read so I had a very late night completing the book, Falke was a simply spectacular and I will not give too much away.
King Attor and the people that are called the Vor and I found it to be a very interesting read and I am sure that you will fee the same and I assure you that once again you will be left looking forward to future books.
I guarantee that you will love this wonderful read and like myself will look forward to future reads in this series.
Read this simply amazing addition to the series I assure you that once started it will be impossible to put the book down.
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.
Sam is looking for a rare animal for a scavenger hunt and gets a prince instead. I love how Sam and Falke try to protect each other but try to protect their feelings at the same time. Falke is embarrassed to be captured by a bunch of drunk people. Love how all of the guys try to protect Sam even from herself. She is a strong woman who feels emotions but tries to bury them. Once again Michelle M. Pillow puts a spotlight on families and how different families and cultures have different ways of looking at things. I love this whole series.
Family is everything
Kidnapped in more ways than one, Falke is taken on a ride he never thought he’d have. A drunken spree brings Sam & her crew face to face with incredible choices and brings a new chapter to all their lives. It evens brings the wandering brother home.
Prince Falke, commander of the Var Army, is in a bit of a pickle!! Whilst out for a run he was kidnapped by the sozzled crew of Samantha’s ship. They are taking part in a galaxy wide scavenger hunt and they stopped off to capture a wild beast. Tranq’d and hauled off to their ship, when he wakes up Falke is one ticked off big cat!!!!
Once Sam realises what she had done, she tries to return Falke but her motley crew sold off their extra fuel and she is forced to visit her home planet. Whilst en-route Falke endears himself with the crew and the steam between them is immense!!! But when her father tried to mould her into a mindless pawn, Falke and her crew manage to escape. Many hijinks follow before Falke can be returned home.
I loved the familt atmosphere between Sam and her all male crew. Falke is a deep well of understated passion and I’m so enjoying this entire series!!! No spoilers but Lyssa’s outburst is hilarious!
