Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
Cas is the world of Athaira, which was conquered by the Trabuk. Since then the people of Athaira has been forced into a mandatory three years of service to the Trabuk military. Cas was originally been assigned as an engineer on the ship Calicos, under the General on the ship noticed him and reassigned Cas as his personal assistant. The thing that finally pushed Cas over the edge and made him seek escaping was when the General decided that Cas and all other Athaira on the ship needed their pointed ears docked.

Now Cas crash lands on a planet, Terra Nova, that is supposed to be devoid of life. But is not. There is a thriving species called the Talamachait. They are a cat-like race with fur over their entire bodies, pointed ears, teeth, and a tail. On his first night on the planet, Cas meets Zus, who claims him as his mate. Zus just happens to be one of a set of triplets, Zev and Zan, who also claim Cas. But Cas and the triplets don’t only have to worry about settling into mated life, but also fighting off the Trabuk who are determined to conquer Terra Nova.

I liked this book. I liked the new concept. With Stormy Glenn, the writing is always good, and so are the sexy moments. There just seemed to be missing a little something. Not enough that I didn’t enjoy the book, but just something I can’t name or describe. I am not sure if it was too short for all that needed to be told and things just moved t o o fast for me or what. But I honestly think I would have enjoyed it more if it was longer to draw it out a little more.

Either way, I look forward to the next book in the series. Because it is, a very interesting concept and I just enjoy Stormy Glenn in general.

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

The Talamachait have opened up a wormhole with Earth. In exchange for humans who may become mates to their warriors, the Talamachait are willing to help Earth with technology that will protect them from the world conquering Trabuk. Jake is one of the people who are brought in to help train fellow soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. When the first group of Talamachait come through the wormhole to meet the soldiers going to Terra Nova, the triplets leading the group realize Jake is their mate.

Rhada, Ruvia, and Rayed bring Jake their new mate through the wormhole to their world and proceed with the mating night. Never knowing that Jake was never informed about what the exchange was. It seems the powers that be on Earth never told the soldiers volunteering for the assignment what it truly was about. So the foursome have a bit of a learning curve to make their new relationship work. They need to blend the customs of both their worlds together to make the perfect union. During all this, they need to deal with the betrayals happening on both sides of the wormhole.

I really liked this one. The writing was fast paced. The sex scenes were steamy. And this world is getting more and more interesting. The simple misunderstanding between Jake and his mates are at times funny. The Talamachait are a very unique people. Very much a blending of cat and humanoid. They are both primitive and advanced. I like how Jake adapts to their way of life, but also blends in Earthling things, like PDA.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
