Plot: Justin “JB” Blake has never met a woman he couldn’t bed—or one he wants to keep. That changes the second he lays eyes on Princess Saia Xochis. The beautiful alien makes his body burn and his heart ache. She will be his. All JB has to do is risk life and limb at the hands of her abusive father, her protective brother, and her warmongering intended mate.
The possibilities of death and dismemberment have never stopped him before.
Inside Scoop: This book has a small taste of female/female fun—as well as scenes of abuse that are decidedly not fun.
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
Dangerously His was a good read but unfortunately hit one of my lethal no –no’s in books: insta-love. I cannot stress how much I cannot stand this in reads. It’s just unethical and doesn’t make sense.
Here, you have JB who literally sleeps with every female that comes within his radius and Saia who is a princess living under the tyrant decree of father, King Olo. Then while on leave to visit her brother, Saia sees JB (and he vice versa) and there’s this instant connection. Now cue, JB all of a sudden ready to stop his womanizing manwhore days and Saia becoming torn up between true love and duty. And hence...sprouting declarations of love taking front.
Then it’s a matter of keeping everything on the down low and trying to figure out a plan to get Saia out of her father’s abusive hold while trying to end her upending mating to a belligerent warmonger.
What will become of this two? And with everything on the line, will everything work themselves out? Or end up in the possibility of death? Read and you will find out!
##A decent read that started out great, but the moment the characters first get glimpse of each other I went…

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
JB looked
toward the door as everyone else did. Taio stood at the entrance, with Eva on
one arm and a taller female who looked just like him on the other. He waited as
everyone rose to their feet.
“That’s
his mother, Queen Fainia Xochis of Drazlan,” Lo’Ren said from the seat next to
him. “It’s customary for you to stand when she enters the room.”
“I’ve
already pissed him off today, no need to do it again if it’s not totally
necessary.” JB stood.
Taio
proceeded through the door, followed by three other females. JB immediately
found himself staring at one in particular.
Her head
was cast down slightly, her face obscured by waves and waves of jet-black hair
that brushed the swell of her round butt. She wore a pale-purple form-fitting
dress. The floor-length gown had designs made of colored crystals. Her skin was
the same color as Taio’s, but different. It seemed to glow. Her build was tall
and slender with a hint of curves where they were needed most.
She turned
her head.
He caught
his breath.
Beautiful.
As her
lavender eyes locked on Lo’Ren, he willed her to look his way. Her features
were sharp and foreign, but beautiful in every way. Her cheekbones were high
and defined. Her lips were full and pink. She had a look of longing in her eyes
and he wanted to know why.
No, he needed to know why.
Was she
upset?
Who had
taken the joy away from such a perfect female?
Look at me. I want to know you.
“Uh,
unless you’re inviting Taio to kill you, I would sit down,” Lo’Ren said,
tugging on his sleeve.
He glanced
around to find he was the only one still standing. JB sat but kept his eyes on
the female across the room. “Why would he kill me? She’s not human.”
“She’s his
younger sister, Princess Saia.” Lo’Ren popped a piece of meat in her mouth and
chewed. “Look the other way, human.”
That
information alone should have been enough to make him turn his head and focus
his attention on something else, but he couldn’t.
Princess Saia.
Rasha
grabbed Saia in a bear hug and lifted her from her feet. JB watched, waiting for
her to turn his way. His heart thumped. He wanted to go to her, meet her.
She was his.
He shook
his head, trying to dislodge the misplaced thought.
Where the hell did that come from?
Then she
turned toward him. Their eyes met.
And there
it was.
His heart
felt as though it was seized in a tight fist then dropped to the pit of his
stomach.
“This is
where you take my advice before you get into trouble.”
“She’s
looking at me,” he whispered.
Every
nerve in his body sprang to life. Her eyes were framed in the heaviest lashes
he’d ever seen. And when she blinked, they looked like wings of butterflies.
He sighed
and felt as if his body had melted into the chair.
Lo’Ren
groaned. “Taio will kill you.”
“I don’t
care.” He couldn’t drag his gaze away. A small smile graced beautiful full
lips. Lips he wanted to claim for his own. From the side, her face had appeared
long, but no, it was round and soft. Her nose was perky and petite. “Princess
Saia,” JB said breathlessly.
Lo’Ren
shook her head. “I shouldn’t have told you her name. I don’t want any part of
this.”
“I would
have found out anyway.” Nothing could have stopped him from knowing her name.
Lo’Ren
blew out a heavy breath. “Did I mention that she’s Taio’s only sister?”

Dangerously Hers
Loving Dangerously, Book #3
Jess hates aliens. After the invasion that destroyed Earth, the extraterrestrial bastards sold her to a brothel as a sex slave. She may have escaped but the old memories and fears still linger in the dark corners of her mind. Supposedly Sonis is just the place for her—somewhere safe, where she can heal and start fresh. She’s almost hopeful…until she meets Rasha, her new boss.
Rasha, Captain of the Sonis Royal Guard, is a warrior through and through. He’s huge, sinfully sexy and could have any woman on Sonis—but the woman he wants is Jess. He’s very much an alien and Jess knows she should hate him or at least be wary, but whenever he’s around, she loses control. She tells herself it’s only sex—amazing, mind-blowing sex like nothing else she’s ever experienced—but there’s something about Rasha that shakes her soul. The feel of his skin against hers, the look in his eyes as he touches her—they make her want to believe it’s possible to find love and begin again.

Thanks for your honest review! Sorry to hear that you aren't a fan of insta-love. The moment I saw my hubs I knew he was mine and 27 years later he still is. :-)
