Summary
Can Mina survive the icy cold of an alien winter？ And melt the heart of the hardened alien warrior who rescues her？
Her home。 Her job。 In a few short months， Mina has lost everything， including hope。 Freezing and alone on a winter night， she isn't sure if she will make it to the next day。 Or even if it matters。
She wakes up to find herself naked and freezing， but no longer alone。 An angel appears out of the snow to save her。 An angel with fangs and claws， and a pain in his eyes which matches her own。
Betrayed by everyone he cares about， Kai-Al retreats into a solitary life of study and discipline。 When he finds himself alone on a strange planet， his only real regret is that his books did not accompany him。
Then he finds a fragile， helpless female in the snow。 Experience has taught him not to trust， but he cannot resist the appeal in her big， blue eyes。 As he thaws her frozen body， she begins to thaw his frozen heart。
But when the hidden forces behind their arrival on the planet make their presence known， will Mina be able to save him in return？ Or will they use her to destroy him？
Each book in the Exposed to the Elements series can be read as a standalone romance; however， this book contains references to previous characters and events in the series and may best be enjoyed in order。 This sweet and steamy romance is intended for mature audiences only。

An adorable love story， I adored this story！ Mina was an appealing character in so many ways。 She was the absolute underdog but still kept a loving spirit。 She rolled with the punches， but life was still kicking her butt。 My'Kel was broken and hiding away from life。 He didn't ever want to risk his heart again， not even for casual friendships。 Their pairing was perfect。 The pace of the story was steady， and it was easy to read and get lost in。 This series is full of couples who struggle but event An adorable love story， I adored this story！ Mina was an appealing character in so many ways。 She was the absolute underdog but still kept a loving spirit。 She rolled with the punches， but life was still kicking her butt。 My'Kel was broken and hiding away from life。 He didn't ever want to risk his heart again， not even for casual friendships。 Their pairing was perfect。 The pace of the story was steady， and it was easy to read and get lost in。 This series is full of couples who struggle but eventually find their way to happy， so they're a joy to read， but this one is my favorite， I think。 。。。more

WOWI found each book has everything I love in a good story。 You come to care for the characters。 You laugh， cry， and get angry with and for the characters。 You can feel the world as the characters explore the unknown planet and learn about and from each other。 They take you along on the rollercoaster of unexpected twists and turns as they are forced to face the scars in themselves to overcome unknown forces and find what they didn't think they could have。 The full reveal and ending was the cherr WOWI found each book has everything I love in a good story。 You come to care for the characters。 You laugh， cry， and get angry with and for the characters。 You can feel the world as the characters explore the unknown planet and learn about and from each other。 They take you along on the rollercoaster of unexpected twists and turns as they are forced to face the scars in themselves to overcome unknown forces and find what they didn't think they could have。 The full reveal and ending was the cherry in top！ 。。。more

Quick， well written alien romance with inter-species co-mingling。 Really need to read in order， since the series plot gets clearer and clearer with each book。While I read this via Kindle Unlimited， I still think it well worth your time and $$。

Unique & charming romance。The world， the characters， the situations， the ooo gets & even the monsters are unique。 The emotional rollercoaster seems really normal。 You are pulled in by the unique & your heart is warmed by the normal。

The book was good but did get a little frustrated with the male lead。 The story overall was good and very worth reading。

WOW！This is a wonderful series。 This is the fourth book in The Exposed To The Elements set but it is a standalone novel。 Myk-El and Mina are a couple that find exactly what they both need。 An orphan and a battled scarred warrior/scientist make for such an interesting and amazing couple。 Read this novel to find out about their story。

The Buff Beast is a well-written book 4 in The Exposed to the Elements Book Series with amazing characters who have depth， personality， and chemistry。 These characters have a good connection that makes you feel as if you know them。 This story is really interesting and I want to read more books from this author and in this series。 This must read story is a sweet， steamy， and standalone book for mature readers。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Una lectura rápida， amena y mi favorito de la serie， y parece que el último de la misma。 Tanto Mikel como Mina son los personajes más complejos de los que la han compuesto。 También me ha gustado cómo se desarrolla la historia entre ellos。 Además， por fin sabemos lo que está pasando en el planeta al que se ven arrastrados todos los personajes。Posiblemente continúe la historia con el personaje al que hace referencia al final， aunque no tengo claro si su historia continuará como parte de esta serie Una lectura rápida， amena y mi favorito de la serie， y parece que el último de la misma。 Tanto Mikel como Mina son los personajes más complejos de los que la han compuesto。 También me ha gustado cómo se desarrolla la historia entre ellos。 Además， por fin sabemos lo que está pasando en el planeta al que se ven arrastrados todos los personajes。Posiblemente continúe la historia con el personaje al que hace referencia al final， aunque no tengo claro si su historia continuará como parte de esta serie o será el inicio de otra。 。。。more

Loved the feathersI was extremely happy that our H was a feathered flying protective type。 We were given hints from the author about the extreme cold and snow conditions so I wasn't sure what type of alien Ms。 Phillips was going to give us。 Myk El was an excellent addition to the series with his constant struggle with his demons and getting his HEA with Mina。 We were also finally given more insight to the alien scientist conducting the "experiments" and their motivations。Ms。 Phillips always mana Loved the feathersI was extremely happy that our H was a feathered flying protective type。 We were given hints from the author about the extreme cold and snow conditions so I wasn't sure what type of alien Ms。 Phillips was going to give us。 Myk El was an excellent addition to the series with his constant struggle with his demons and getting his HEA with Mina。 We were also finally given more insight to the alien scientist conducting the "experiments" and their motivations。Ms。 Phillips always manages to give us a unique and tantalizing world which thankfully will continue in Book 5。 Happy reading。 。。。more

Saved by an AngelI love aliens with wings！ And the mating flight at the end was something beautiful。 When you read a story with a guaranteed HEA， the biggest experience it's the journey to that end， and this journey was as exciting and satisfying as all the others I'm this series。 I'm glad we finally got to meet the scientists arranging this social experiment， and that we get at least one more book。 Saved by an AngelI love aliens with wings！ And the mating flight at the end was something beautiful。 When you read a story with a guaranteed HEA， the biggest experience it's the journey to that end， and this journey was as exciting and satisfying as all the others I'm this series。 I'm glad we finally got to meet the scientists arranging this social experiment， and that we get at least one more book。 。。。more

YES， glad to see this stick the landing！ I really loved where the macro plot ended up and am very excited for what I assume will be a continuation in this world。 It was fun to see the series start in one place and actually go somewhere in terms of world and plotting。 If we can continue to see some deeper characterization introduced， this could be a real winner in my book

Sweet and steamy rescue romanceOnce more， a pair of innocents are kidnapped from their respective home planets and stranded together on THAT planet。 He’s got wings， and a wounded heart。 She’s a homeless gal who has never had a chance。 It’s sad and sweet， and I’ve never been so touched by an alien romance before。 HEA ending makes it al better， but grab a tissue or two first。 Watch out for the big reveal at the end！
