I would not have

forgiven him for trying her up and leaving her while he went to complete the mission. He didn’t properly ask for forgiveness, they just had sex about it until she gave up and forgave him. Even if that works for some people it icks me out. I’ve liked all the other books in the series a lot more but this one was a no from me

Bex (h) is at her wits end with Dergoz (H), her Suevan husband, who seems to want nothing to do with her. She decides to stow away on his ship, unaware that he's actually being sent on a dangerous mission. Dergoz resists Bex, even though he's attracted to her, because he wants her to see him as more than a monster, he wants her to care for him. Their actions and relationship are initially hindered because there are problems with her translator and even when it's working there are still differences for the two to overcome. They face many challenges that they have to face together to in regard to their mission, other aliens, and even other humans even as their sexual attraction grows. Dergoz learns how competent Bex is in her abilities and that she's quite capable of pulling her own alongside him. Great to see the returning characters, as well as new ones. This was an amazing third book in the series, and I am so looking forward to more of the Suevans and their mates, as well perhaps stories for Nydo/Roth and Reif/Arco. The books need to be read in series order to understand the overarching story.

Definitely read Wed to the Alien Warlord Book 1 and Wed to the Alien Prince Book2 before reading this third book in the series.

This is a fun and entertaining series that grabs your attention and keeps you guessing and laughing at what’s going to happen next. The romance has some steam and quite a bit of romance by the large muscled, green scaled aliens. And those tails!

The first book introduced the series’ plot of human women coming to Suevan on a trade mission and find themselves married off to the Suevan males in the ‘welcome ceremony’ that was actually a wedding.

This book picks up several weeks later and Rebecca/Bex’s translator isn’t working so she can’t understand any of the Suevan’s. She is extremely frustrated with her mate’s avoidance of her. She was actually excited to be married to a big, muscular green alien.

Dergoz overheard his mate call him a monster at the mass wedding and his feelings were hurt so he does whatever he can to avoid her. He is sent on a dangerous mission to steal a database from their enemy the Roth. He is shocked to find his bride asleep on his bed inside his shuttle. These two find some middle ground and are able to finally communicate. Dergoz soon learns how talented his mate is with technology. He isn’t as thrilled with the pet she adopts when she comes across a baby alien cat she insists on keeping and naming Horatio.

I am definitely interested in reading about the other women and their Warlord husbands. It looks like Michelle and the Gladiator are next up.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When Bex's fantasy of marrying a handsome alien becomes a reality, she's over the moon – until she realizes that her new husband can't stand her. Despite her excitement about being wed to a giant green warrior, Dergoz has no interest in her. Fed up with being ignored, Bex is determined to make the most of her arranged marriage. Her plan? To stow away on his ship and charm him with her sunny disposition.

However, things don't go according to plan as Dergoz's mission takes him to a secret base, and he's furious with Bex for putting herself in danger. When an enemy boards their ship, Dergoz's gruff exterior begins to crack as he fights to keep them both safe. Meanwhile, Bex must decide if she's brave enough to show Dergoz the love he craves.

"For you I would be monstrous. For you I would burn the world and everything in it, just for you to forgive me. Just for one look. One kiss."

Hi, yes. Hello. I am in love with a green, tailed alien named Dergoz. If he has a million fans, I'm one of them. If he has one fan, it's me. If he has no fans, I'm dead. There isn't a single thing I wouldn't do for him. I swear January Bell wrote this book with me in mind and conjured up Dergoz with my ideal alien in mind. I'm sorry but that quote?!?! How could you not expect me to be absolutely GONE for this man?

Bex was an icon. A relatable AF icon. A fellow alien/monster romance reader who gets essentially sold off by her government to this alien race (who don't know they came without knowledge of what was happening to them) honestly hit the jackpot with this.

I'm literally obsessed with this series and especially with this book!
