This is the way you write a short story! From page one I was hooked, and by page two I was invested in the characters and wanted to know what they were all about.Orphaned at a young age, Dray and Conrad are Alantens warriors, they look human, but they're not. They were rescued by Mercy Walsh's father, a bounty hunter who found them on the planet Jasper after their parents were killed while they all were fighting in a battle to free slaves. Over the years Dray was honor bound to Mercy's father and now that he's passed, this proud warrior will do anything and everything to keep Mercy safe. Mercy doesn't think she needs protecting and Dray's acts of heroism are getting on her nerves. She's been in love with him since the day she met him, and he loves her too. However, he keeps his distance, because she's human, and he feels it's best to keep their relationship strictly bounty hunter business. That is, until he receives a new treatment meant for humans for his latest injury and it triggers the mating heat!! HOLY CR*P!! You'll have to read it to find out happens!There is some sssssscorchin' hot, passionate sex, but it didn't not consume the story, it was balanced perfectly. It had a little bit of everything, funny dialogue, passion, love, and an engaging story. Kele Moon managed to write a big story with a few words. Please, please tell me that Conrad is going to have a book, he was adorable and needs to be heart bound too!!Just a side-note. Even though this is labeled as sci-fi, anyone can read this and enjoy it. It's just a setting for the story and the characters, but I think it's appeal will be broader than it's label.
