From the Inside Flap A walk on the wild side!”What is it?” Torak demanded.”It’s Lady River, my lord. We need your assistance, if you please,” one of the men mumbled.”Is she hurt?” Torak asked, his heart dropping to his stomach as he brushed past the two men. “Where is she? Your team was supposed to be watching her at all times.””She is well, my lord. We were trying to watch her, but she has not been cooperative,” the other man said.Torak and Manota followed the two security team members out of the North House and toward the East House. Halfway there, the men stopped as they encountered a large number of the elite force standing near one of the garden structures. All the men stood still, looking up at the sky. Frowning, Torak and Manota looked up to see what had the men’s attention. On a thin cable forty feet in the air was the small figure of his mate, just sitting there. “How in the hell did she get up there?” Torak whispered, turning pale.”What in the hell is she doing up there?” Manota asked.

⭐ I LOVEEDDD this book but why the 2 stars… the male lead! I usually have something to say about the female in books like how weak and useless they are but that wasn’t the case here. River is everything a female should be- strong, resilient, a total bad azz, and will do just about anything to save her friends. River and her friends get abducted by aliens and then after a month on a slave ship get “sort of” rescued by Torak and his gang.I could NOT STAND THE MALE, Torak. River has shown over and over again that she can take care of herself- for petes sake she survived a slave ship and even eventually destroyed it with the help of her 2 friends and even saved Torak from being tortured and what does this self, ignorant male do… take her to his planet to lock her up and uses her for sex because he claims he “loves” her and doesn’t want anything to happen to her. So pretty much she leaves one prison for another. I could NOT STAND his abusive ass and he even contemplated sleeping with other women so that he can teach her a lesson and obey him more. HECK NO that is not love and there were plenty of other things he did that made me put the book down plenty of times. Will I read book 2 hellllzzzz naw!

⭐ GREAT STORY! Unfortunately, there was way too much porn in it!!! Great authors don’t have to resort to putting all that crap in there to make it a great story and S.E. Smith is one of those authors!!! Her stories are exciting, imaginative, creative, and just plain fun, but then she ruins it by putting in all the sex!!!! I wanted to throw my tablet at the wall!! This storyline had me on the edge of my seat. As much as I have read, I have never had circus performers in a storyline before so this was a new thing! And then,,, the sex started. I have gotten used to just skipping over it because frankly, its not necessary. But when I realized I was having to skip over several pages every time these two started up – I feel cheated!!! I paid for a story not porn. If I could erase it I would. I would like to read Jo and Star’s stories, but after all the garbage in River’s, I won’t. I gave it three stars because it had an awesome story line, the three girls were awesome and I love tough talented females who can kick some major butt! However, I won’t go any further and I won’t recommend this because of the all the sex.

⭐ I just… the plot was choppy and inconsistent. It didn’t flow together, it read like a badly written fanfiction. I got about half way through the book when *spoiler* the “main” heroine (main is used loosely because honestly the point of view switched so much I couldn’t tell WHO was talking anymore) was mortally injured and “didnt want to live anymore because I love this man but he has a harem of women and doesnt live me so I hope he lives well and is happy” but there was barely any interaction between the love interests in the first place to build up to that kind of relationship. not to mention they act like teenagers but are 20 something year olds??This book could have been amazing. It had a GREAT plot idea. I dont like leaving one star reviews because I WANT to like the books I spend my money on, but I couldnt with this book. I physically could not.Do yourself a favor, dont waste your time or your money.

⭐ I really liked the storyline of this first story (and series), loved how three circus trained girls turned into amazing warriors saving the big bad alliens. They are fun, feisty, smart and absolutely no damsels in distress. These girls take care of themselves and everyone else. I wasn’t to keen on the attitude of the males in this story. Too much arrogance, women are helpless, must be protected, stick to cleaning and cooking and behave as I tell them attitude. I still gave the story 5 stars due to the way the characters of these males developed throughout the series. Still protective but slowly growing to equal partners. Overall, for me this wasn’t the best story of this series, but still a great start and good enough to keep rereading it. I love this series just as much as the Valdier and the Cosmos universe.

⭐ What could be better than a fast paced, action packed, suspense driven adventure in space? Ass some fierce circus performers and enough chemistry to overheat your ereader and you have it!I love this new race. They are so much fun and so complex. The society is well developed and you get to see a lot about the ruling family. It makes for a fantastic backdrop to the unique tale that Smith develops. The pace never lets up throughout, yet I never felt as if we were racing forward. Vibrant descriptions bring the world to life as readers get drawn into the battle of a lifetime.Fierce loyalty is a common thread among all of the major characters in this novel. Smith develops each character as an individual while also showing the clash of cultures and of classes. This was definitely a unique cast of characters. I love how River & Torak really stood out as well. They were both such vibrant individuals. Torak was strong and caring, with just enough arrogance to make life difficult at times. I fell for him from the get go. River’s strength in the face of everything that comes at her was fantastic. At the same time, her heart was so big that I simply wanted to get to know her better.This novel is the perfect start for this series. It was a brilliant read on its own and has me dying to read more.

⭐ What do you do when you and your friends are kidnap by lizard like aliens? Save the good guys (the Kassisans), disable the ship of the bad ones (the lizards) and escape.What do you do when you and your friends are mistaken for a prophesied warriors come from a far away world? You just follow their lead and laugh your head off.What do you do when the man you saved start being possessive of you? You avoid him by getting in the ship’s ventilation system.What do you do when the man you fell in love with is a chauvinist and a dominant son of a *****? You just teach him a lesson in knife performance and start training him to your liking.Torak is a Kassisan prince and next in line to rule. When he meets River he knows that she’s his mate. But their cultures clash more than once when he tries to control her the way his people are done with their women for thousands of years. He had never encountered a warrior woman before and doesn’t know what to do with her. He tries to order her around but he chews more than he can handle. When she is shot and almost died he starts changing his way with the help of her friends. Follow their story as they tried to find a common ground where they can both be happy.

⭐ Considering the large amount of positive reviews, I decided to give this a try. And sometimes you don’t find out till too late to listen to the few bad ones. 1/2 way in I gave up. If after the main female characters show you their strength, save your lives, you still act the fool, well guess what you are. Sorry the characters reactions were so incongruous to the action. Once I start the eye rolling, time to quit. It’s alien romance, I don’t expect great literary feats, it’s not meant to be deep. I don’t want deep but I do need believable.

⭐ Normally I am a fan of S.E.Smith but this book just didn’t work for me . At all. Torak was gross, he was just a perv and had no real personality to make up for it. Usually I can connect to at least one character in Smith’s books but everyone in this book annoyed me, There was nothing to any of them and the blatant disrespect shown to women in Kassian society wasn’t cute, wasn’t sexy, wasn’t anything but obnoxious and a huge turn off. I am not averse to sex scenes, but these just went on and on and on and weren’t particularly well written. Unlike some of S.E. Smith’s other series, where I was eager to find out what happened to the other characters, I have no need to read any more about anyone in this universe. And why do the girls all have to be virginal, wide eyed innocent sword swallowers? Are these adult romance stories or a thinly veiled glorificiation of pedophilia? I gave it two stars instead of one because the story started out promising but once they got off the Tearnat warship, it went downhill fast.

⭐ I have to say after reading the Valdier series and sequence books following Valdier I am a bit disappointed with this series. I don’t like the fact that there are no true mates and the mens can mate with anyone or claim anyone they want. I understand that the 3 girls being independent and hating the whole caveman men thing the men had going and wanting to hide from them, but after half the book of hiding and fighting with no real progress in the relationship i was ready to skip pages. Everyone was way to stubborn to talk or give in, which made for a long boring series with no end in sight. I do like the girls ( don’t get me wrong), but everyone could only be so stubborn for so long before the book just gets boring.

⭐ I totally enjoyed this book, actually I have read/listened to it several times. The only part I didn’t like was how T treated River when he was mad. She should have left him and made him do some serious groveling to get her back. Other than that the story was great. It kept me engaged and I don’t feel any time wasted when I got to the end. I am excited to read/listen to the next books and look forward to the bad guys getting their comeuppance. Definitely recommend this book, most definitely!!
