My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jade was kidnapped from Earth by some lizard-like aliens but thankfully some human-looking aliens race called Clecanians rescued her and are willing to protect her. One of their conditions for her to stay on their planet is that she has to choose a husband which she initially refuses and then agrees to play along only until she can find a way to get home. Theo is a mercenary who is scarred and considered ugly and so has learnt to prefer his solitary life, so he is stunned when Jade picks him as her husband. The only reason he can think of is that she is a spy and he is determined to break her cover in any way that he can. As they spend more time together and their chemistry is impossible to deny or ignore, falling in love together can't happen as she is determined to go home unless she decides that she can stay.
I enjoyed this story which had a good level of detail about the world she ended up in, the races found there, the customs, medical care and the relationship between Jad and Theo. Their battles and attempts to test or annoy each other were quite comical at times. I loved the way that their relationship developed as they learnt more about their lives, and each other and started treating each other with respect. I loved the ending and it was great to move on from tragedy to a great HEA. Easy to read and understand. Contains some mature content.
