Axrel by Olivia Riley

4.0

Charlotte is a doctor working for Grayhart a neutral organisation that’s main objective is furthering relations with other worlds. When she’s coerced into working aboard a military vessel transporting otherkin to Fargis a prison planet on the ship she encounters Axrel a Vrisha criminal and supposed member of a rogue Vrisha queen's blood guard enemies of the alliance.

Charlotte's patient a Vrisha called Axrel is deadly he also hates humans and could easily rip Charlotte in two. But Axrel is in a bad way dying even and it’s Charlotte's job to make sure he lives. As she nurses him back to health and during the course of their interactions Axrel finds himself fascinated by the small female healer he thinks humans are vile creatures but with charlotte he finds himself feeling differently her kindness and the way she treats him giving him a whole new perspective on this particular human.

When the ship is attacked and crashes on Fargis Charlotte is on her own in a hostile environment but Axrel feels he owes her a debt he also feels strangely concerned with her safety. Now with a deadly protector and a vague plan Axrel and Charlotte are united and he is determined to get Charlotte to safety it’s his top priority even above that of his own personal agenda vengeance against the blood guard and brothers who initially betrayed him.

This one is slow burn and not overly explicit but don’t let that put you off Axrel and Charlotte make a fabulous team together and as they face danger and deadly threats they fall deeply despite being of different species. I definitely beloved in their bond and I found this to be a sweet love story one set amidst all of the peril where a connection is formed against all the odds and I was rooting for their HEA all the way.

It’s well-written action-packed and such an easy read if you like sci-fi romances with real deadly alien heroes you’ll definitely enjoy this one. I voluntary reviewed a copy of Axrel (Vrisha Warriors Book 2).
