Review: A Family for the Alien Warrior (Treasured By The Alien Series Book 4) by Honey Phillips and Bex McLynn

A Family for the Alien Warrior by Honey Phillips and Bex McLynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet and Steamy

There’s just something so warm and comforting about this series. The Cire warriors are so loyal and gentle, whilst being ferocious in their defence of their loved ones.

This is the fourth in the series and is very loosely connected to the first three, but there is only one character from those books and he is a tangential character at most. However, the theme remains the same; a woman is kidnapped from earth by the evil slavers and rescued by a Cire warrior.

On this occasion the Cire warrior had a bit more of a mixed bag to rescue. Mganak is a salvager. He lives alone on his space ship, except for his pet/companion Sagat. Sagat is a kind of dog/cat/alien creature and is intelligent and loyal. Mganak picks up an escape pod and is surprised to find it filled with women and children.

Wanda is a librarian from earth. She is also 4 months pregnant from a sperm donor. She was picked up on Earth 3 weeks prior and held on a ship with Alicia, a widow, siblings Darla and Davey, who had no parents, and another pregnant woman, who is further along and a Vedeckian (the race of slavers). Unsurprisingly Mganak is attracted to Wanda and vice versa.

This is another story of two people coming together from different cultures and finding their previous content existence could use some improvement. I really liked the family dynamic in this book. Mganak’s relationship with Darla and Davey, who is neuro-atypical, is so sweet and loving and really added to the warm and fuzzy nature of the book.

Obviously there is a pattern to these stories that all end in a HEA, but I like that there are definite differences in the dynamics between the characters, and with this book the dynamics are definitely altered by the family nature of the rescued individuals.

I really hope that this series continues because the books are a perfect bite sized pick me up, when we are all in need of one!
