Owned By The Alien Rogue 

by Krista Luna 

5/5 stars

Krista and her alien romances are easily becoming one of my favs. Frankie and Zol, are beyond adorable. And the way that Zol will do anything to love, and protect Frankie is just.. Chef’s kiss. I am so glad that we get to see more about the grey aliens, and Frankie finding and saving her fellow human ladies, from being slaves. 

This is fast paced, spicy, and fills my alien come and abduct me now wants.

I highly recommend.

The Stone And The Star 

A Gargoyle Novelette

By Jillian Graves 

5/5 stars

This is yet another 5/5 stars story by Jillian. This one is fast paced, and spicy!

We follow Colossus, who is a Gargoyle of course, and Astra, the human he is obsessed with. 

I loved the bit of Colossus's history that we got, even though it was a bit sad. I fell head over heels for him the moment he was on the page. And truthfully, who wouldn't!? He is strong, protective, and hung.. I mean, loving.

Astra, who is an art professor, is just so damn adorable. She is tall, strong, kinky and knows what she wants. It felt a bit fated mates, but it was never really said. I loved how she took matters into her own hands, and showed Colossus what he was missing.

Highly recommend.
