Aleaha Love remembers her parents promising to come back for her. They didn't. Her best friend was Bride - a vampire. But Aleaha hasn't seen her in a long time. Aleaha is not human in a world where being different gets you arrested at the very least. She has the ability to change her body to mimic another's, but she must stay calm if she is to maintain the shape. She comes across a dead body. Her ID is Macy, a cop. Aleaha takes her shape and begins living as Macy. But Macy has just been admitted into the AIR organization - they are the ones who arrest Aliens. Not ideal for her, but she can't just disappear. She is on her first mission with a team waiting for a solar flare to bring a group of Aliens who are decimating other planets, their blood causes cannibalism. The Aliens who show up are Rakans. Their planet's people were infected and destroyed and they (survivors) have come to earth to live among the humans. They find themselves in a battle instead. AIR orders were to stun only, and Rakan's orders are no blood. Blood can equal death. One of the Rakars goes berserk, enters the human bodies and forces them to commit suicide by blowing their brains out. A simple mission has gone FUBAR for both AIR and the Rakans. The Rakan leader - Breean - takes one look at Macy and says "Mine". A chase and battle between them ensues. He is used to his planet's biddable females and can't believe that this human defies him. At one point she becomes him with his abilities and he can't ask for help, his own men are confused. But Macy can't hold the shape. Somehow, Breean can see her duality of Macy/Aleaha. Several AIR members are dead, others captured, Macy keeps waiting for back up that never arrives. Breean won't let her go and he is stronger. He is used to women responding to his lust fragrance, Macy/Aleaha is able to fight it to a point. He sets out to seduce her, and she is determined to free her fellow AIR team. What happened to back up? Breean claims they just want to live in peace on earth, but he refuses to release her team or to work with AIR against their common enemy. Breean moves prisoners, her, and his fellow men to the home they have prepared over many visits to this planet. They even have an abundance of water that they brought from their own planet, earth rations water, chemical showers and cleaning are the norm. Breean tries to seduce her, as she gets excited her body changes, the more excited she gets, the more she changes, which has limited her sexual experiences, the changes have always freaked out the humans. Breean is fascinated rather than appalled. Even when he finds himself seducing himself, he is still determined to have her. But she pays a big price for her constant changing, too much blood in her system and she has to bleed herself or die. Breean abhors blood as the bringer of plague that killed those on his planet. But to save her, he bleeds her. Even dealing with her blood does not turn him off. She falls in love with him, but still wants to free her men. She manages to slit Breeans throat. To save him she gives him some of her blood. Knowing he will live, but be too weak to follow her, she runs out of his room as him, gives his men the time to go into town to look for women of their own, and goes to the dungeon. There she quickly changes back to Macy, but can't figure out how to let them out. Before she can start cutting wires, Breean finds the energy to spirit walk and he enters her body, forcing her to return to his room. Even then he can't stop taking her body though he is determined to give her no pleasure, he can't keep denying her for long. Then the alarm goes off, they are under attack by AIR. Her men are released, they stun both her and Breean. What does AIR plan to do with her and the Rakans, especially Breean? AIR now knows that she is Alien. She has been lying to them from the beginning. Breean is responsible for the deaths of several of her team, even though he executed his man who did the killing. Macy/Aleaha loves Breean. Will they die together? Will the Rakans plans for a new life on earth come to nothing? For a relatively short book this had lots of action, world building, sex and romance. Read it to find out the ending. Definitely worth the eyeBAGS. HAHA. Breean Nu is so darn SWEET OMFG. A yummy, gold, seductive RAKAN that I wanna sink my fangs into (if I have one) Haha. And Aleaha's ability? Totally went gaga over it. So cool, men. Just so cool. Love the whole story and a glimpse of DEVYN babe, DALLAS baby, HECTOR and JAXON is enough to make my whole freakin' day. Plus with MIA and her devilish, blackmail-ish ways. Add KYRIN en ARR. Damn. I've died and gone to heaven. LOL.A must read novella and a great addition to this awesome series. XD
What do You think about Tempt Me Eternally (2013)?
Gena Showalter is one of my favorites, as is this series. Great story, hot, and just a good read.
