My Review:I continue to really like this series. This is book #2 in the series and takes place just a few months after book #1 when first contact was made between humans and the Inarri. The two cultures are in the midst of working out a treaty, but that has been threatened when Sue is kidnapped and tortured and reveals the location of a base which is then attacked. She's accused of treason and everyone is trying to get to the bottom of exactly who the enemy is.The Inarri have a foolproof way of questioning suspects where there can be no subterfuge...only honesty and truth so they take over Sue's questioning. The method though requires a deep mental connection that is strengthened by how close the two people are physically. Obviously sex is the closest possible physical connection so it makes sense to use it for this kind of questioning. The Inarri accept that as a norm...the humans, not so much.Sue is in a bad place. She's been tortured and broken, but she has an incredibly strong will, although it is taking further beating by this trial. To now have everyone questioning her motives is just a further slap to who she is. Asler is an empath and he immediately senses her vulnerability and is drawn to it.  His automatic reaction is to want to shelter, heal, and protect her. How can you not fall in love with a guy like that?He's an alien, but the only thing truly different about them is their mental abilities and the nerve endings they have on the outer layer of their skin which look like tribal tattoos. For men of this race, these actually harden and raise when they become sexually stimulated. Can you say hot?? I have a thing for tattoos and these are used for sexual stimulation. That. Is. So. Sexy.Overall I am really enjoying this series. The third book, Undercover Alliance, comes out at the end of the month and I can't wait!I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
