BOOK REVIEW- D'zia's Dilemma An Alien Exchange Book 2 by Keri Kruspe

Description

Guardians of the Galaxy meets The Princess Bride. A woman betrayed. An alien duke faced with an impossible decision. Can two lovers who long to be together overcome those determined to keep them apart? Lora Dharma Callahan excitedly agrees to leave Earth to attend “The Exchange” and meet the alien mate of her dreams. Instead of finding true love, she’s forcibly kidnapped and held captive by an alien lunatic who plans to take over the galaxy. He’s going to use her to create a serum that will ultimately enslave every human female on Earth. But no emperor wannabe is going to keep this girl down. Lora will find a way to save not only herself, but her planet as well. Duke D’zia Yaq E’etu, cousin to the crown prince of Zerin, suspects a malicious plot to overthrow the galactic government. When the opportunity arises to insinuate himself in the suspected traitor’s stronghold, he doesn’t hesitate to use his infiltration skills. While there, he encounters Lora, whom he soon recognizes as his TrueBond. The only problem…she’s imprisoned and scheduled for experiments that will destroy her. Now D’zia has a hard choice to make. Should he stay and get the proof he needs to prevent a narcissistic megalomaniac from taking over the galactic government…or escape with the only female he can claim as his own? The second book in the trilogy, D’zia’s Dilemma features a disembodied galactic gangster, a snarky spybot, and a sentient, lovesick spaceship. If you like non-stop action, powerful emotions, and sensual aliens, you’ll love the next installment of An Alien Exchange.  AMAZON  4 STARS


Great world building. Both in the appearance of the aliens, their culture and how things work in their "country".
I loved how D'zia enjoyed human slang so much.  And he had a pretty good handle on it.  I had enjoyed his teasing, mischievous ways when I read the first book in the series.  I didn't feel like it would be hard to get into this book if someone hadn't read book 1 though.

I liked how D'zia and Aimee (his cousin, Qay's, TrueBond) interacted because of his understanding of human slang.   They had some moments of humor over that alone.  That very same human slang that D'zia has been using on Qay and Qay finds so annoying.
We do know right from the start that Chancellor U'unk is the bad guy.  Now all they had to do was prove it!  And of course, things do NOT go as planned. That is D'zia's brilliant plans don't all go his way.  Although some other interesting characters do end up helping him when he least expects it.

There is another unexpected character in the story.  The name he goes by is JR10 and he's not human or alien exactly.  He's a spybot.  A very sassy spybot.  One who has been programed to use human slang to the max giving D'zia a taste of his own medicine.  There is also another spybot that will show up and both add so much fun and charm to the story. 

Just to let you know there is kidnapping, some violence and some torture as well.

This book has great characters, several plots, humor, "alien" sex, twists and turns and some victories.  When I say some victories I mean that not ALL of what needs to be overcome is completed. Yet.   There is another book if you want to complete the adventure.
