This book is about Stom and Willow. Stom is an alien and his home planet had to be destroyed. His bond mate and younglings were killed. He throws himself into his job as a hunter. As a reward he was told he was going to get to go to earth and get a pet. This is the last thing Stom wants but he can’t say no, so he goes to earth. He is greeted by Brask a preyhunter. Brask is going to help him acquire his pet, Willow is to be his pet. Once Stom sees Willow he is attracted to her. He doesn’t want to be but he is. He made vows to his bond mate and even though she is dead he feels taking a pet would be breaking those vows. He does the first step of the pet/master process which is kissing her with the nano-chem on his lips. That is all he intends to do, of course what he intended to do and what he did are two different things. He is surprised by his feelings for her and is struggling between them and the vows he made to his bond mate. Stom finds out that Willow is going to die. A local thug wants her dead, if he doesn’t kill her she has a resist strain of aids that will. He tries to get her to flee the area but she doesn’t want to leave her cousin Allie. Stom proceeds to do the second step in the pet/master process. This is to drink the nano-chem and then have sex with her. There is something different about the earth women who match up with the alien men. Stom intends to explain more about himself and why she was picked then get on the warp ship the next day. Willow feels like someone is finally going to help her and be strong her instead of her always having to be the strong brave person. She fights this attraction to Stom at first. She doesn’t want to have to leave her cousin or for her life to change to drastically. She is in love with Stom and wants to be with him. They both have a past but she wants a future with him. Will they get to be together or will Stom’s sense of duty and morals stop them?This is the second book in this series. I love how this series is a different take on aliens. The characters and engaging and fantastic. I liked how Stom had to struggle with his feelings between his dead wife and what could be his future wife. I also like that is more than just a romance book, it had some action because of the other aliens they are fighting. I also like how you know there will be another book as you are reading this one. It was very well written. I can’t wait to find out about who Brask will take and more about the Queens. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for another book in this series.
