Fun and steamy read

I enjoyed Vekron and Nina’s human-alien, friends to lovers, slow burn, fated mates romance. Nina is a human and a holographic designer who is helping to design a new space station under construction. Vekron is a Drexian Inferno Force warrior and a holographic engineer. Vekron and Nina have worked closely together for months. They are both attracted to each other but have been hiding the attraction and being just friends and coworkers. While on a brief visit to a Drexion Inferno Force ship to see about adding holographic controls in a sparring ring, they end up jumping with the ship to answer a distress call from a protected planet. Close quarters and potential danger bring their feelings to the forefront and accelerate the rocky path to their HEA. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters, and an engaging storyline as told through sweet moments, steamy scenes, fighting, dangerous situations, alien physiology and cultures, loyal friends, fated mates, coincidences, plot twists, painful pasts, and laughs. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series. 3.5 stars
