Series setup- Deadly monstrous bugs (that live in symbiosis with an even deadlier fungus) invade Earth bent on its destruction. Shortly afterward, purple musclebound aliens (who def look alien-yaaas) arrive on Earth calling themselves Xarc'n Warriors and stating that their purpose is to exterminate the bugs. Yet Earth's government, too suspicious of the Xarc'n Warriors showing up right after the bugs arrived, refused their offer of help and wouldn't budge on it. Big mistake. When nothing else worked, Earth's government used nuclear warheads on entire cities. Which only hurt their own and did nothing to the bugs. Once infrastructure, power and society fell, the Xarc'n warriors stepped-in to help regardless of the naysayers. By this time it was too late for a quick extermination. The bugs had built nests deep underground, lined them with enough live food to last for year's and multiplied like rabbits. But the Xarc'n Warriors were determined to help, their entire purpose in life was to kill the scourge and they didn't want to lose another planet to them. While fighting the bugs on Earth, the Xarc'n Warriors find compatible females for the first time ever. Giving them hope for a better future and even more motivation to save Earth. These are the stories of individual warriors finding mates and more to life, in what the humans dub the bugapocalypse. The series stays positive and uplifting, never going to deep dark places of despair or ickiness. It's a fleshed out world with vibrant characters, who go on hilarious and sexy adventures. Plenty of kickbutt action and romance. Book #7 Captured by the Hunter is my favorite in the series so far-such a kickbutt female-if you have to choose one I'd pick that one. This series is firmly rooted in my top ten (all time) favorite series, up there with Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarian series, Regine Abel's Prime Mating Agency series, Johanna Lindsey's Ly-san-ter series, C.M. Owens' The Wild Ones series, and more(if you havn't read them you're missing out!). Also if you sign up for Lynnea Lee's newsletter you get free books!! Yes I said books- plural lol. I've never gotten so many free books from a talented author, it blows my mind. All books in this series are available for free through Kindle Unlimited & can be read as a standalone (complete HEA) but also has recurring characters & storylines that are best read in order. Due to hilarious shenanigans, a little bit of sailor language and entirely explicit romps (it's an oh so dirty ride) I'd suggest for adult audiences only.
This book-Is book 1 in the Xarc'n Warrior series (there's a 0.5 book if you sign up for the authors newsletter). This is Kaj'k & Alice's story. Alice and her cousin Natalie live alone and are doing pretty great compared to others in the bugapocalypse. They made it through the winter but now they need to restock on everything. Natalie's leg doesn't work right anymore (she got sliced by a bug & the toxin numbed her leg) so Alice has to go out foraging for food and supplies alone. That's how she meets Kaj'k, who's a really funny and sweet alien warrior. He's never had a friend much less a mate, the closest he's ever gotten to a companion is fighting alongside other warriors for a brief time. He's been to countless planets and there's never been compatible females or even the slightest urge for him to mate. When he scents Alice it hits him hard like a punch to the gut and he gets a tad excited (huge understatement). He's so tired of being alone with the sole purpose of destroying the scourge day in and day out. Alice doesn't know it yet but she's given him something to fight for. Kaj'k first scented Alice last winter while he was busy fighting the bugs, but she was gone by the time he finished and the snow made it so he couldn't find her afterward. Now it's spring time and luck is on his side- she finally came back to the same store (yes he kept coming back to check). He follows her home that day so he'll never lose her again -but prefers to use the word escort rather than stalk lol. Kaj'k researched "how to get a human female and keep her" by uploading their human internet to his network, and though some of the things he found were disturbing- he's more than happy to try out a few on his Alice- he especially wants to go date. Alice isn't accepting his food or gifts but he'll never give up and is just happy to be in her presence. Until cannibalistic raiders invade her home that is- then he puts away his eager puppy side and brings out the warrior- throwing her over his shoulder and putting her in his ship. Her safety comes first and they will just have to agree to disagree on this one. Summer time is quickly approaching and with it comes the swarming of the bugs. Kaj'k needs to convince Alice to move in with him before that happens. They'll need to be ready to funnel the bugs through an intricate maze of buildings and objects, that way the warriors can pick them off one by one without being overwhelmed. Will he succeed in time? His old style translator doesn't help their communication issues but it sure is funny to watch (until he can replace it.)
Quote 1: “You have fire. I like, Little Flame. But bite is foreplay. You say no funny business. Be calm.”
Quote 2: "It is dark out, and these are dangerous males. You will stay in the shuttle.”I didn’t let her argue. I left and ordered my shuttle to lock up behind me. She was probably pounding on my shuttle door from the inside right now. My female was feisty. But my shuttle was built to endure more than she could deal out. My angry Little Flame could burn all she wanted in there; she couldn’t be worse than spitter acid."
