Rhal by Erin Tate by Celia Kyle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cara Marte thinks that the Ujal are just normal folks that sometimes grow fins and scales. She knows that she wants Rhal fa Adar with his dark scales and dark eyes but he always keeps her at arms-length sharing pleasure with her but nothing more - it is obvious he wants her but he refuses to mate with her. When she discovers that his reasons were actually a lie, she takes her battered heart to the Intergalactic Mating Agency office to try and find her match but all she can think of is Rhal. Rhal fa Adar is not an ideal mate as he sacrificed his soul as the king's secret assassin and so he feels he cannot have Cara. However, when he discovers that she has gone to try and find a mate he realises that he just cannot lose her to another male and vows to be with her in some way whilst Cara is realising that she cannot have another and just hopes that he realises his mistake and comes around. The only problem with Rhal’s plan? An evil from his past appears on Earth and shatters the tenuous bond they share. Now he prepares for the hardest battle of his life—the one for Cara.

This was a lovely story that had lots of betrayal, lies, pride and strength as it becomes more apparent exactly how the Ujal society works and who has the power. I loved the way that both of them were suffering at different points in the story and how that then meant that the other would move heaven and earth in order to stop that hurt. Deep down this is an intense love story that has some major pushes and pulls but in the end, it all goes in the right direction. There were definitely some fairly emotional moments but it was still very enjoyable. Well written and easy to read. Contains explicit sexual content.
