The Naga's Mate by Celeste King
3.0

The Naga's Mate is book one in the Naga's of Protheka series by Celeste King.

This is my first taste of King and the Protheka world. I ended up enjoying this one more than I thought; thou I’m a bit confused on the legs.

The Naga are snake-men??, but the author gave them legs, so I had a hard time believing the way they moved and fought. The author would mention the sound of the dragging snake tail, but then talk about them wearing trousers. The Naga felt more like lizards than snakes. It was just weird.

The Naga’s Mate is a hot monster alien romance with a dash of suspense, a little drama, some betrayal and romance. There’s a bit of instant attraction and lust which turns into more. They feel something, but our Naga doesn’t figure it out until our human is in danger; then he knows what she is to him. Our hero was sweet. He loved our heroine as a person, which in the world of Protheka is unusual. I liked that both were willing to sacrifice for each other.

The Naga’s Mate was a quick and enjoyable read. Not something I'd read again, but still peaked my interested enough to have me picking up book two.

Rated: 3 Stars
