I bought this book instead of waiting for it to be acquired by my library. I enjoyed the first two books, the kidnapping, and trafficking of women made for an interesting story line between bouts of seriously spicy sessions. That said, I was not sure about this one. The duke(even in space you cannot go far without tripping over a duke) was a bad guy in the first two books. However, he was not the enemy, those involved in kidnapping, trafficking and drugging earth women were different aliens.

So, was the Duke redeemable? I liked his character by the end. It does not start well. He has stolen her travel pod in which she is frozen, and has it stashed in his closet. I imagine most will say Stockholm Syndrome, but she was his fated mate and was great for her role. Talk of refugees over taking the planet gave it a timeless appeal. <sarcasm> All in all, I enjoyed it.
