Shaagra adores her and is very protective. Vadel is a doctor and helps rescue her from her kidnappers.

Vadel and Shaagra the original duo who knew they were going to be partners with a mutual mate. Walooth was the late addition to the harem which normally would bother me but he was such a sweetie that I couldn’t get annoyed at him. Her interactions with Walooth were well written but realistic to our world’s understanding of relationships. Reggie was considerate of others and tried to understand / adapt to the new cultural environment. I liked her and didn’t have any issues with her characterization, often in Alien romance, I’m not a fan of the heroine as a result of their ethnocentrism or they just lack any backbone. There is some discussion of their mating habits including their tails but youre reading an alien romance you should expect it. (So if you cannot handle that I skipped this book but as I loved Susan Trombley’s The Serpent's Mate, I found this variation of alien not to be too intimidating). Here the dudes are of the Vora, they are snake-like, maybe even Naga-like aliens.

The series follows different alien species in contact with humans. This is a reverse harem so if that isn’t your preference feel free to skip around the series, some of the books focus on monogamous couples and others on harems. So I am not gonna focus on the general mechanics of humans and our contact with alien worlds including the Mate Index. Review (6/3/22): 5 books in and I assume y’all know the premise. I kinda stopped logging them in the moment so… sorry but I will be adding notes about the numbers when I write the reviews for them. Pre-read (): Book #15 of my DNF or unhaul series pile for 2022.
