I've become a big fan of O'Connor's and was really excited to see a new book out.  Like some of the other reviewers I particularly  enjoyed her Cyborg and Emslaved series.I was not disappointed! I found that this book had all the elements I love about her other series; a fun sci-fi romance, an intelligent heroine and non- human heroes.  For me the strength of O'Connor's writing is the laugh out loud dialogue between her heroines and non-human heroes. This book delivered! I loved the cultural confusion as the heroes tried to adapt.  The scene where one asked if 'morning sickness was practice for feeding the youngling' still makes me chuckle.The plot: Scientist sent an unmanned mission to a planet planned for colonization to collect samples so they could test flora and fauna. They accidently collected the eggs of an intelligent species that hatch on the months long return voyage to the earth space station. Back home our heroine is put in charge of studying the new species. The three "specimens" that were taken have decided that they will make Kate their queen and mate. When the earth authorities decide that they have learned all they can from the alien life forms, they order the termination of the project. The aliens have other ideas. Kate just wants them to be returned safelly home.I would rate this as one of the better Kaitlyn O'Connor books.  It is a fun enjoyable read. Just be aware what you get with O'Connor. Light relaxing diverting reading, a fun easy romance, that is sexually explicit, does have multiple partners and ménage scenes. This is not the book if you're looking for scientifically/technically focused sci-fi, deep character development or growth.I loved this book and give it 4  stars.
