A disgraced alien king on the run. A human female detective determined to find him. A fated love neither expected.
Since the Trilyn’s made their pact with the people of Earth, Prince Akrawn has been struggling to find his genetically compatible human mate while also dealing with distrust from his own brothers.
When an apparent misunderstanding makes Prince Akrawn public enemy number one, rather than face the legal ramifications on Earth or return to his home planet, he chooses to disappear into the streets of San Francisco, but the human authorities aren’t going to let him go that easily.
Brilliant SFPD Detective Catherine “Cat” O’Shea is tasked with tracking him down with the assistance of her AI. While Cat learns more about Akrawn and starts to believe he may not be responsible for the crime he’s accused of, she has no idea he’s using the same technology to spy on her and has become fascinated with the tenuous and beautiful woman.
Forced on the run together by a nefarious entity set on destroying them and gaining control over the Trilyn, can Akrawn and Cat see past all the reasons they may wrong for each other to the truth of their destiny? AMAZON 3 STARS
The plot idea was a good one and the main characters were good ones. They were good especially in their differences. However, it seems like although there was a lot of running around. With not a whole lot being accomplished when it came to the who or what was behind all the chaos. After while I began to find that a little tedious. It did give Cat and Akrawn time to get to know each other but that didn't always work out well for them.
It didn't take long for me to be shaking my head over Akrawn's father King Zavir. Cat hit the nail on the head when she called him a dimwit. I was calling him stupid long before that. And some of the actions of the earth lawmen was right up there with people ranked as stupid. David Davon was Cat's work partner. But I wondered about him after awhile. The balance of power seemed to be somewhat skewed in his favor. I also sometimes questioned the intelligence of loud mouth Captain Brontsen who is Cat's boss. All these things and more make for misunderstanding after misunderstanding bringing things to near disaster more than once.
It did get a bit technical towards the end that I didn't enjoy quite so much. But the actual world building of the ships and homelands that I did enjoy.
I do have to say that things work out well in a H.E.A. for our main characters. And the Epilogue does give a good look at how some things ended. But it also leaves the door open for further adventures because two of the villains did escape for now. I have to say that I wasn't really surprised on who they were. Although some of their motives and maneuvers I hadn't quite figured all the way out.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
