Engineer Velia Farrah always wanted to see an alien up close. Now that she’s assigned to study the top secret portal linking Earth to other worlds, she’ll get her chance. But when a fierce, gold-skinned alien from Risnar leaps from the portal and whisks her back to his home planet, “up close” takes on a whole new meaning. Believing Earthlings had killed his fellow warriors, Jape Bolep is … is determined to destroy Earth’s access to Risnar once and for all. Grabbing a curvy handful of a human wasn’t part of the plan, but he has no intention of letting her distract him from his need for vengeance–no matter how much he aches to make her his.
Both are ready to do battle over right and wrong and good and evil, and their combustible relationship burns hotter than the sun’s surface. But distrust and treachery from all sides leave Velia and Jape in a fight against their own people to keep each other alive–and to ultimately save both Earth and Risnar from total destruction.

A fascinating world!
Velia is feeling decidedly unloved when she finds herself hauled unwillingly to Risnar. Jape’s mission to close the portal did not go as planned, and he’s pretty grouchy about the whole thing.
I really enjoyed this story. Jape is not simply a protective warrior, he’s a very complex individual. It was a pleasure to get to know him better. A favorite line! “As apologies went, Jape could have won clemency for murder.” Velia was bit more challenging for a while, as her idealistic faith in her superior officer led her to make some dangerous mistakes. She makes up for it, though during a stunning rescue attempt. So much excitement!
I really enjoyed Worlds Collide (Warriors of Risnar #3).
I could have sworn I had read this author before as I recognised the name but strange I don’t seem to have: oh well no mind this was a great introduction to this particular authors work.
In my opinion, this can be read as a standalone: I managed quite nicely though in hindsight you would probably find it easier to follow along if you started at the beginning of this series.
A really imaginative take on the whole Alien storyline.
The basic premise here: our girl Velia is working as an engineer at camp Noname a secret base run by the top military brass: when she manages to get herself abducted and taken back to Risnar by a very sexy feline type extra-terrestrial through a portal that I can only describe as being very stargate in fashion.
There’s suspense, mistrust, bigotry, romance and a whole lot of action here: in fact, this really ticked a lot of my boxes.
I do so love a good alien-human romance the only thing that let this down for me was I couldn’t always get a clear idea in my own head of what these aliens looked like.
Yeh, I get the whole feline characteristics with stripes and super sexy ears but it was the whole body armour, lack of clothing, were they furry? and growing extra appendages.
I don’t think it was explained here enough to get an actual visual.
The lack of clarification on the book cover didn’t clear matters up for me either.
Maybe this was expanded on in the two previous instalments but as I haven’t read them myself I don’t really know if that’s the case.
I myself would have just liked a tad more scope to let my imagination run free here.
I also thought Velia was a bit too naive and trusting in nature and I did find that somewhat irritating: not sure why that was?
Maybe that says more about me than the book.
Jape especially when he ditched the holier than thou attitude I also adored he could be so incredibly sweet and caring.
This had a real feel-good vibe to it that I really did like.
Taken as a whole I found this to be a very positive experience.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Worlds Collide (Warriors of Risnar #3)
