Raina was captured from her planet to be sold at auction. Niko is an alien pirate who discovers Raina during a raid and immediately falls head over heels as the mating bond snaps into place. Even though they’re fated mates, Raina refuses to acknowledge the bond with Niko and certainly doesn’t make things easy for him, giving us readers that perfect slow burn tension and some very welcomed banter.

And Niko in full mating beast mode? 😮‍💨 Sign. Me. UP! Did I mention his saliva is an aphrodisiac?

Alien From Nowhere was a fun read with likeable characters, spicy scenes, and funny moments. Will definitely be continuing the series.
