Alana has hit another one out of the park with this book. The main characters, Emily Jane Jackson & General Arren Trevanian, are well developed & the reader gets to know them on a personal level. We see the characters grow & change as they spend time together. An alien Prince Charming & his Cinderella just like in the fairytales only with hot steamy sexual interactions & a happy ending.
From the beginning to end… I was immediately hooked on TREV & EMILY’S story. I was pulled in from the very first page.
ALANA KHAN gives you a little bit of a tease about TREV’S VERY STRICT AND BY THE LAW personality in an earlier book (ARZZ BOOK4/another good read). This is a stand alone book, but you are introduced to TREV’S character.
Briefly, TREV is a highly decorated GENERAL on his planet ZINN. He receives a distress call to check on one of their ships. There TREV finds EMILY JANE .. badly wounded and very close to death. I like Emily’s character. She has had rather traumatic issues to happen to her at this point. Emily’s a tough individual… None of that constantly whining about it… She’s a fighter…I LIKE THAT!!
This story has GREAT twists and turns, conflicting loyalties, with forbidden lust. . . oh boy…did they ever…WOOHOO!! There were a LOT of laugh out loud moments….SWEET moments…omgoodness….sniff sniff.
I REALLY enjoyed this story….LOVED THE CHARACTERS…….sadly…. I NEEDED MORE 🙁
Book Five of the Mastered by the Zinn series.
Trev is the hero who is a veteran military man who always obeys the rules.
Emily is the heroine who is rescued by Trev when her Quest goes wrong.
As soon as they meet there is mutual attraction. The book contains consensual sexual encounters but the intimacy created between them enhances their attraction and allows them to break down their emotional and mental barriers they have built up which deepens the connection between them. Trev learns to follow his heart and not just the rules that have governed him all of his life. With Emily he discovers he can have a future full of love and mutual respect. Emily learns that she can still be her own person and that she can trust Trev to love and protect her for the rest of her life. I recommend the rest of the series. I am an alpha/beta reader for Alana Khan and received a free ARC digital download of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Alana Khan has a wonderful way of weaving strong, healthy relationships despite challenges with delicious rough and smooth sexuality tied in with exciting adventure!
Trev: Book Five in the Mastered by the Zinn Alien Abduction Romance Series is SO GOOD! Trev is strongly linked to Arzz: Book Four in the Mastered by the Zinn Alien Abduction Romance Series, but can be read alone.
Zinn males can be selected to go on a Quest, which is when they abduct a woman for a 14 day period, with the blessing of Earth’s government in exchange for advanced alien technology, and can pretty much do whatever they want to her. These super dominant males are trying to keep the women they’ve chosen as mates, so usually there is respect and caring along with sexual dominance. At the end of 14 days, if she doesn’t choose to stay as the Zinn’s mate, she gets her memory wiped and returns to her life as if nothing happened. But the woman has to be in the same physical condition as when she was abducted, or the whole secret agreement of Earth and Zinn could be revealed.
Emily Jane Jackson has been forced into such a situation. An athlete on the cusp of Olympic tryouts, Em is abducted by a selfish, uncaring Zinn male and abused by him. She’s surviving until she can get home, but a fire on their tiny spaceship changes everything.
General Arrenn Trevanian was visiting his son, Arzz, when, as the closest Zinn to the endangered ship, he is asked to rescue Em. Trev snatches her just barely alive before the ship explodes, her abductor already dead. He treats her burns as best he can and takes care of her as they speed to Zinn and hope the doctors can heal her deep burns. He hopes gentleness can help heal her other hurts too.
As a high level officer in the Zinn military and well past Quest age, Trev never expected to be around a female and is enchanted by Em. He is also appalled by her abuse. Trev is kind, strong and honorable, something that is a stark contrast to Em’s abuser. Once Trev earns her cautious trust, Em finds she enjoys Trev’s company and relaxes, getting to know him.
When her scars cannot be fully healed and she is unable to return to her former life, a Zinn government bureaucrat rules that she must find a Zinn mate quickly and that she will stay with and be aided by General Trevanian while deciding. Em likes Trev and the way he treats her very much. She wants to explore the sensuality he brings out in her. Despite Trev being off limits by Zinn law, Em knows who she wants: the gorgeous, smoking hot dominant male who gives her kindness, security and respect along with deep kisses. Trev tries to resist but she is all he has ever wanted in a mate, how can he let her go?
I love the connection Em and Trev nurture. They both want relationship, treating each other with thoughtfulness, but that doesn’t diminish the HEAT that smolders between them. Trev is so focused on Em’s comfort and pleasure that she can relax into Trev’s dominance and feel safe while discovering her sexuality. It’s yummy. But they have to find a way to be together against the laws of a whole planet! Trev: Book Five in the Mastered by the Zinn Alien Abduction Romance Series is sexy, sweet, and satisfying.

First of all I really like the direction that Alana has taken with this series, especially the last two books. Trev is a continuation from the previous book in the mastered by the Zinn series – Arzz. The book starts with a first person narrative from Trev’s point of view as he is leaving Fairea after visiting his son and daughter in law.
I thought after I finished Arzz that that was my favourite book in the series, but honestly I’ve found my new favourite. The book is full of sexual content, but it’s tied so well into the story that it serves to deepen the connection with the main characters and their relationship with one another. I found Trev to be the perfect gentleman, always putting Em’s well-being and feelings before his own and I enjoyed getting lost in their story together.
After finishing the book I’m really hoping there’s more in the series, particularly focusing on Sinn – it would be nice to see him find his happily ever after after getting to know him a little and seeing what a ‘good male’ he is!
This is the fifth book in the Mastered by the Zinn series. The hero is Trev, who is the father of the hero in the previous book Arzz. I really loved Trev. He was really what the heroine, Emily, needed after being treated poorly by the Zinn she was on her Quest with. He wasn’t hard core dominant like the prior books and gave Emily a chance to go at her own speed while she recovered. I also liked Emily. She was strong and knew her own mind. She had already been introduced to the whole Quest and what was expected, by the time she meets Trev, so that was a nice change. The attraction between her and Trev was off the charts and you could feel it. I feel like each book in the series has only gotten better and better. I would recommend this book if you’re looking for a good, sexy read with a happily ending. I received an ARC for an honest review.
The action starts on the first page and doesn’t quit. General Trev, the panty melting sexy Zinn, rescues Emily a strong woman with courage and a great sense of humor. Thrown together by chance they have to fight for their love. This was a delight to read because the characters were beautifully written. You will want to read their story.
