I loved it。 It was full of super steamy moments but also had a lot of story to it。 It was a good balance between the two。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Was that an ending or Victim shaming？！？Feels like a good fantasy read if you hate women or equal rights。I had great hopes for the plot and characters。。。 But WTF WAS THAT。 This MC was traumatize over and over。。。 And made to apologize over AND OVER。 Horrible。 W。T。F。I think I'm so mad because there was such righteous potential for the MC's triumphant at every turn。。。 And every time she was treated like a criminal。。。 Even at her own epilogue wedding/mating ceremony the groom's family barely tolerate Was that an ending or Victim shaming？！？Feels like a good fantasy read if you hate women or equal rights。I had great hopes for the plot and characters。。。 But WTF WAS THAT。 This MC was traumatize over and over。。。 And made to apologize over AND OVER。 Horrible。 W。T。F。I think I'm so mad because there was such righteous potential for the MC's triumphant at every turn。。。 And every time she was treated like a criminal。。。 Even at her own epilogue wedding/mating ceremony the groom's family barely tolerated her。。 。 What was the point？ 。。。more

Also I just finished reading this last night and It。 Was。 Fantastic。 It's a super actiony romance （with a lot of hot smuttytimes）。 The heroine is an absolute badass， too。 Literally kicks ass and takes names。 The gist of the story is: heroine is working in deep space to repair a satellite， gets pulled through wormhole， and ends up on the far end of the universe。 She's captured by alien pirates， but one of them （guess which one） realizes she's a sentient being。The entire thing gave me （smutty） Ann Also I just finished reading this last night and It。 Was。 Fantastic。 It's a super actiony romance （with a lot of hot smuttytimes）。 The heroine is an absolute badass， too。 Literally kicks ass and takes names。 The gist of the story is: heroine is working in deep space to repair a satellite， gets pulled through wormhole， and ends up on the far end of the universe。 She's captured by alien pirates， but one of them （guess which one） realizes she's a sentient being。The entire thing gave me （smutty） Anne McCaffrey vibes， so if you think this is what you need in your life， run toward it！ I thought it was stellar！ 。。。more

Wow insta-hotI really enjoyed the characters。 I especially liked how fierce Sasha was。 I liked that she didn’t back down or fall insta-love with the guy。 This was definitely a layered cake of a story。 I hope there is a second book。

Not a fan of the ending。 Too many loose threads leaving it unsatisfying。

Excellent sci fi romantic adventureThe world building is fascinating， the characters are great （Sasha kicks ass）， and the story is excellent。 There are trigger warnings and graphic sex， as well as several brutal scenes， but I enjoyed Fate a lot。 I especially love Sasha and her ability to take care of herself， kicking asses and not caring about their names。

This was so great！ Thanks to Kate for convincing me to read it by saying it had New Species vibes。Sasha was the 'tough heroine' that， in my opinion， is rarely done so well。 She was kickass without being unrealistic。 She wasn't annoying， and she wasn't bitchy or mean to the H for no reason other than because she's 'strong。' When she was distrustful of him， it made perfect sense to me， and when she decided to trust him， she TRUSTED him and remained rock solid。And Ardalon was so sweet and totally w This was so great！ Thanks to Kate for convincing me to read it by saying it had New Species vibes。Sasha was the 'tough heroine' that， in my opinion， is rarely done so well。 She was kickass without being unrealistic。 She wasn't annoying， and she wasn't bitchy or mean to the H for no reason other than because she's 'strong。' When she was distrustful of him， it made perfect sense to me， and when she decided to trust him， she TRUSTED him and remained rock solid。And Ardalon was so sweet and totally worthy of being trusted！ They formed such a good bond that really held the whole plot together。 I've been addicted to romances with definitely-not-a-human heroes lately， and this one really stood out as having a unique and strong plot that was more than just about the Hs alienness。 But he was very alien， and the slow burn was HOT and when the fire lit， it was even HOTTER！There wasn't anything mentioned in the back of the book about a sequel， but I really hope there's another book coming with another Kursh/human couple！CW: （view spoiler）[ There was a pretty graphic near-rape scene that was almost too much for me， and some sensory-deprivation torture， with a pretty real take on PTSD afterward that a lot of books overlook， which was something I thought very commendable。 Hard to read at times， but realistic。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

I wanted to love it， but this was just annoying。I really liked the FMC but the love interest… he was weak and so naive！ What was wrong with him！ At first he was awesome and clever but then he kinda got stupid？She had to save herself all the time out of HORRIBLE situations and just so he could dismiss her wishes in the end。 But of course she forgives him。And the evil king gets rewarded？！ What？And the FMC was the ONLY character i liked！ All the others were just horrible people who i didnt care for I wanted to love it， but this was just annoying。I really liked the FMC but the love interest… he was weak and so naive！ What was wrong with him！ At first he was awesome and clever but then he kinda got stupid？She had to save herself all the time out of HORRIBLE situations and just so he could dismiss her wishes in the end。 But of course she forgives him。And the evil king gets rewarded？！ What？And the FMC was the ONLY character i liked！ All the others were just horrible people who i didnt care for。 This worlds not for me。 Ill stay with SJ Sanders for these kinda stories。 。。。more

**Slight spoilers**Honestly this book had me reading until 3 a。m。， but the ending was so 。。。 Neutering？ Power stealing？ Anti climatic？ I don't even know how to describe the "ugghhh" I felt the last 5% of the book。 She basically gets raped （not in the sexual way） and betrayed， but it's all ok。 I guess she didn't have the energy after being tortured to be mad。 **Slight spoilers**Honestly this book had me reading until 3 a。m。， but the ending was so 。。。 Neutering？ Power stealing？ Anti climatic？ I don't even know how to describe the "ugghhh" I felt the last 5% of the book。 She basically gets raped （not in the sexual way） and betrayed， but it's all ok。 I guess she didn't have the energy after being tortured to be mad。 。。。more

Do you remember the end of Disney's Beauty and the Beast， when Beast turned into the prince and you were like， ewww， I liked him better as the Beast？ This hero stays his big ‘ole fluffy self！This story was fabulous！ It has everything I enjoy in a sci-fi romance:-Fierce and strong female lead-An alien that is actually alien-like -TONS of action -A steamy slow burn with mutual respect-A woman who SAVES HERSELF -Wonderful world building-Political intrigue Sasha is an engineer from Earth， alone for Do you remember the end of Disney's Beauty and the Beast， when Beast turned into the prince and you were like， ewww， I liked him better as the Beast？ This hero stays his big ‘ole fluffy self！This story was fabulous！ It has everything I enjoy in a sci-fi romance:-Fierce and strong female lead-An alien that is actually alien-like -TONS of action -A steamy slow burn with mutual respect-A woman who SAVES HERSELF -Wonderful world building-Political intrigue Sasha is an engineer from Earth， alone for three months working to repair Earth’s satellites。 She is one of the STRONGEST and well-written female characters I’ve read in a long time。 Each and every time she got herself out of a jam， I was cheering her on！Ardalon is working for his government as an undercover agent。 He first spots Sasha after she’s been taken and caged by the smuggling group he’s infiltrated。 While he doesn’t recognize her species， there is something intelligent in her eyes and he wants to know more about her。 This isn’t insta-love or lust， it a wonderful getting-to-know-you， cross-species slow burn romance。 There is the added bonus that Ardalon is BUILT and is a soft， fuzzy cat-like dude。 My one negative thought is when she is finally able to speak with him， some of the dialogue felt。。。immature or forced， campy？ I actually liked it when they were learning each other’s language the old fashioned way and having to watch body signals to communicate。 “Ardalon help Sa-shuh，” he insisted， his voice tense。She shook her head to tell him no， he didn’t really help her like he’d promised。 “Sasha helps Sasha，” she answered。 I guess I have one more complaint。 As a grown ass woman， I’d be embarrassed to read the paperback with this cheesy cover， so thank goodness I was able to get it on KU。 Still， I appreciate the time it took to make Ardalon look exactly how he’s described in the book。 。。。more

Loved this book！ got me engaged when the H was described as a feline alien species :D I adored the heroine， she is such a kick-ass girl！ It absolutely fascinated me that she rescued herself several times， not waiting （as usual in this kind of novels） for the H to come and save her。 Another thing I really liked is that it's a slow burn romance， I'm quite tired of the insta-love， insta-lust trope。I'm totally readinga second installment if there's one。 Loved this book！ got me engaged when the H was described as a feline alien species :D I adored the heroine， she is such a kick-ass girl！ It absolutely fascinated me that she rescued herself several times， not waiting （as usual in this kind of novels） for the H to come and save her。 Another thing I really liked is that it's a slow burn romance， I'm quite tired of the insta-love， insta-lust trope。I'm totally readinga second installment if there's one。 。。。more

I would’ve given her character 5 stars。 Finally a female lead that’s not a Mary Sue。 I loved how she got out of trouble by herself and the fact that she was not showing mercy to her enemies was refreshing。 I gave 3 stars tho cause I didn’t like the relationship between them。 It didn’t do it for me I don’t really know how to explain it。

no saben con quién se están metiendo。Sasha Robinson es una ingeniera de bajo nivel en la Flota Estelar de la Tierra， enviada a reparar satélites solo en el espacio profundo。 Cuando su pequeña nave es succionada por un agujero de gusano， en el otro lado hay una galaxia nueva y desconocida， y una operación de contrabando que salva su nave y la arroja a una jaula。 Capturada por hombres pájaros alienígenas， hombres gatos y hombres lagarto que no pueden entenderla， la única esperanza de Sasha es escapar。 Y cuando un hombre gato se acerca a la puerta de su jaula 。。。Ardalon Bavara es un pacificador de Kursh que trabaja encubierto en una operación ilegal de tráfico de animales。 Cuando la tripulación en la que se ha infiltrado detecta una nueva forma de vida consciente extraña， una que parece estar tratando de comunicarse con él， sus planes cambian instantáneamente。 Está decidido a ayudar a la criatura sin pelo y aún así acabar con los contrabandistas en el proceso。 Pero， ¿podrá hacerlo y seguir protegiendo a la atractiva nueva cautiva？El caos estalla cuando Sasha se escapa， y ella y Ardalon deben trabajar juntos para sobrevivir y completar su misión。 Navegando por los peligros de nuevos planetas， Sasha pronto descubre que los contrabandistas pueden haber sido la menor de sus preocupaciones 。。。¿Puede una ingeniera de bajo nivel arrastrada a una galaxia completamente nueva navegar por la intriga política que rodea a tres especies alienígenas al borde de la guerra？ Mí humilde opinión:Este era un romance de ciencia ficción que es un poco más fuerte de lo que acostumbro leer pero me intrigó mucho el argumento así que aquí voy。。。La autora construyó un mundo rodeado de intrigas políticas y duras leyes。 No es gentil precisamente con los humanos y los diferentes aliens tampoco son cordiales con ellos。 En este duro y extraño universo aterriza Sasha。 Como humana todo se reduce a sobrevivir。Sasha es una tipa ruda pero también tiene su corazón aunque bien resguardado， tiene defectos y vulnerabilidades pero si bien ella es humana tiene algo que la hizo como una súper heroína。。。No había leído nunca en este género sobre la tecnología de "nanos"， lo que me pareció tan genial y muy útil para la heroína en el espacio porque la ayudaba a curarse rápidamente o adaptar su cuerpo a distintos ambientes。 Ella tenía entrenamiento de soldado y esto la convertía en un arma。 Por los nanos corriendo por su sangre es por lo que la pone en peligro y es el conflicto en la historia lo que no me esperaba。Ardalon es de la raza Kursh， ellos tienen un aspecto de león， nació débil y con defectos por lo que en su cultura no es aceptable。 A estos kursh se los llama ashima。 Me gustó él， era un personaje agradable， el único que le tendió una mano amable a Sasha y se esforzó por comprenderla。 Me gustó inicialmente por eso。 Que fuera discriminado por su gente lo hizo más querible para mí。Sasha y Ardalon eran una pareja muy apasionada。 Pasando por alto la nalgadas por ahí， las escenas de amor fueron picantes， había dominación y posesividad por parte del héroe lo que la heroína disfrutaba。 Mientras todo sea consensuado， yo no tengo problemas。Además de la acción， había drama y tensión cuando la que la pareja enfrenta sus diferencias culturales。 Ellos viajan al hogar de Ardalon dónde tienen una no muy buena bienvenida por su numerosa familia。 Se nota el crecimiento de su relación durante el libro porque deben pasar por muchas dificultades juntos hasta llegar al final feliz。Me di cuenta al terminar de leer el libro que en todo momento no hice más que enojarme en muchas partes que me parecieron injustas。。。Sasha la pasó negras desde que desafortunadamente la absorbe el agujero de gusano y me daba mucha bronca que nadie se parara un momento para entender su situación o no fuera recibida amablemente en ningún lugar！ Si hasta la gran familia felina de Ardalon no la aceptaba y la señalaba como una cosa en lugar de una persona con sentimientos。 En ningún momento nadie se esforzó por comprenderla o le dio una oportunidad。 Entiendo que la hayan visto como un alien y recelaran de ella pero no podía creer que ninguno tuviera un poco de empatía。 Hasta sentí que eran duros con Ardalon y eso que era de la familia。Me pareció violento e innecesario la forma en que Ardalon lleva a Sasha para colocarle un traductor。。。 La pobre mujer ve un lagarto con una bata de doctor en una fría sala con objetos quirúrgicos y de pronto， él la acuesta a la fuerza en una camilla？ No había una manera de no aterrorizarla？Creo que podría haber sido de otra forma。 Por medio de señas o algo él podría haberle preguntado sobre el traductor y que le colocarían uno。 Y encima ella ya tenía un traductor lo que podría haberle hecho daño cuando le colocan otro！ No sé， fue algo innecesario y brusco。Cuando Sasha se defiende de ser abusada。 Ella mata al asqueroso alien antes de que llegue lejos y durante esa escena ella la pasa horrible。 No sabía qué pensar mientras leía， me aliviaba que pudiera detenerlo a tiempo y que el tipo no haría daño a otra mujer pero por otro lado me resultó tan increíble que no terminara destripada y desangrada porque。。。 cuántas veces el senador le desgarró el abdomen con sus filosas garras？ y ella salió ilesa， con las heridas casi cerradas pero ilesa de algún modo？ Yo me pregunto cómo se recuperó en segundos con toda la sangre que perdió， supongo que los nanos hacen maravillas。 Fue toda esa demasiado exagerada y luego ella cortando garras y arrancando un ojo para usar en su escape。También me resultó increíble que en lugar de verla como una mujer que se defendió y tuvo que matar en defensa propia， Ardalon solo piensa en los problemas que tendrá porque ella asesinó a alguien importante， la mira y la ve como una perfecta asesina， yo esperaba que él reaccionara de otra forma。Las repercusiones y las secuelas de intento de abuso nunca fue dialogado por ellos。 Me pareció que fue pasado por alto como si no hubiera sucedido y eso no fue realista para una mujer que pasa por semejante trauma。Lo que noté también es que aparte de Ardalon y su padre， la mayoría de los personajes del libro son desagradables， no me cayeron nada bien。El famoso consejo era taaan poco solidario con una humana， una raza que desconocen。 Ellos acusan a Sasha de haber causado algunos destrozos y violado la ley cuando escapó de dónde piratas la tenían enjaulada y listos para venderla a un burdel。 El consejo sabía por todo lo que ella pasó pero ninguno le preguntó nada cuando se reunieron con ella， cero empatía por alguien que está en un planeta desconocido， con aliens y sin esperanza de volver a su hogar。Me molestó tremendamente hacía el final que la metieran a prisión sin ninguna clase de juicio。 El emperador， primo del senador， que Sasha mató porque quería abusar de ella， no era mejor。 No solo disculpaba a su primo por sus abusos sino que la mató de hambre en prisión por días para que aceptara ser su amante！ Y de esto nunca se enteró ni las autoridades o Ardalon para el caso que era una especie de policía！Me pareció contradictorio， Ardalon era un agente encubierto metiendo en prisión a aliens que contrabandean esclavos， violaban las leyes， pero no me pareció que se hiciera justicia por lo que pasó a Sasha。Y qué fue eso de mentir a Ardalon para alejarlo de ella？ Odio cuando las autoras hacen esto！ Solo sirvió para poner angustia que no venía al punto。Engineering Fate contiene acción y adrenalina elevada desde la primera página。 Yo estaba mordiéndome las uñas toda nerviosa desde que Sasha cruza el agujero de gusano。 Sin embargo， pasando la mitad del libro pierde emoción para mi， quedan cosas en el aire， hay otras increíbles y para rematarla tiene un final abrupto。El mundo， la tecnología y todos los personajes estaban muy bien y ciertos detalles en el mundo me resultaron realistas para este género。 Pero también tiene situaciones duras que no es para cualquier lector。 。。。more

Alien RomanceThis is the first book in a series， but stands alone as a unique story。 There is no cliffhanger。Sasha is a engineer out on the edged of known space， far from her home of Alpha Centauri。 She’s taken the hazard pay to repair satellites in her tiny solitary vessel with only her plastic clock for company。 She is ripped from known space by a wormhole and dumped somewhere completely unknown to humanity。 She wakes up in a cell surrounded by strange creatures。Ardalon is Kursh， a race of lio Alien RomanceThis is the first book in a series， but stands alone as a unique story。 There is no cliffhanger。Sasha is a engineer out on the edged of known space， far from her home of Alpha Centauri。 She’s taken the hazard pay to repair satellites in her tiny solitary vessel with only her plastic clock for company。 She is ripped from known space by a wormhole and dumped somewhere completely unknown to humanity。 She wakes up in a cell surrounded by strange creatures。Ardalon is Kursh， a race of lion like aliens。 He is undercover on board the ship which holds Sasha。 Whilst he is debating with his superiors over what to do， Sasha manages to free herself， causing mayhem in her wake。This book was a bit darker than I was anticipating。 There is attempted sexual assault， murder and psychological torture。 Despite being a different experience than I was expecting I really enjoyed the book。 Being darker in places gave the book more depth than your usual alien romances。 Whilst it was still girl meets alien， girl falls for alien and has lots of hot sex， there was more meat on the bones of this romance。 It meant the warm and fuzzy romance has a side of fear alongside it。Sasha was an interesting character。 She doesn’t have much family and feels very isolated from everyone。 She’s served in the military and has the upgrades and training given to soldiers， which helped keep her alive in this new part of the universe。 She doesn’t trust anyone really and prefers rage over fear in terrible situations。Ardalon is unusual in his race as he isn’t allowed to breed for genetic reasons。 Despite being a kind of outcast to his race he has succeeded in his chosen career to the surprise of many。 He has climbed the ranks of the law enforcement organisation he works for。 He is compassionate and protective almost immediately with Sasha and he finds her fascinating。 She has no built in weaponry like his race as she has blunt teeth and no claws， but she is still fearless。I like that the author has included some history to both main characters and has built up a strange and interesting universe to set the story in。 There is politics to deal with as well as physical and emotional peril。 There is also lots of hot alien passion。This is the first book I’ve read by this author， I might be tempted to read something by her again if I come across it。 。。。more

I was not expecting much from this book， but this was a good surprise。 It had everything， a dominant but not overly dominant male lead， a strong female lead， adventure and sexy times。 The theme song for this book should be Cinderella - The Cheetah girls， the theme just fits so well and yes I chose this because it’s Cheetahs， and I know it’s not the same as lions but give me this 🙏。Was this a perfect book？ No。 Could I have done without the heavy lion features of the male lead？ Yes。 Was this a fun I was not expecting much from this book， but this was a good surprise。 It had everything， a dominant but not overly dominant male lead， a strong female lead， adventure and sexy times。 The theme song for this book should be Cinderella - The Cheetah girls， the theme just fits so well and yes I chose this because it’s Cheetahs， and I know it’s not the same as lions but give me this 🙏。Was this a perfect book？ No。 Could I have done without the heavy lion features of the male lead？ Yes。 Was this a fun read？ Definitely。 I really loved that the female lead， she was admirable and fought back。 She is easy to root for。 Often with books like these， the female leads just wait for the male lead to rescue them， but this girl was not like that at all， she rescued herself。 The male lead was the perfect balance of dominant alpha male without going too far， which is a large issue with books like this。 Would definitely recommend anyone considering it to just read it。 Forewarned though， the description of the male lead’s physical form is quite feline heavy and that was completely weird but other than that， it was great。 。。。more
