Cassidy has been in a convent on Europa for three years.  As her grandfather comes to get her to go back to Earth, the convent is taken captive by the Kalquorians.  Cassidy becomes the chosen one for Captain Tranis and his clan.

Alien Conquest is the third book in the Clans of Kalquor series.  This book goes into more detail about how the Kalquorians try to re-educate the women, although the medic in the clan determines that it is the wrong approach to take.  I will warn readers that there is more sex in this book compared to the others I read previously, and there are some things that could cause some triggers. 

One of the reasons the Captain was following Cassidy’s grandfather was because of his position in the military on Earth, as the Kalquorians want to end the war by an invasion. There is a major surprise for everyone in the Galaxy that I did not see coming.  This will affect all the rest of the stories in the series for sure.

I really liked Cassidy.  She was extremely smart and wanted to learn as much as she wanted, but her education had been cut short.  As Tranis, Lidon and Degorsk were trying to break her repressive training regarding pleasure, they discovered this fact and offered to provide tutors so she could study anything she wanted once they returned to Kalquor.  It was clear the chemistry between the four was hot, but Cassidy kept going back and forth about enjoying it, or thinking she was terrible for enjoying herself.  Things do work out in the end. 

I have enjoyed reading this series so far and am looking forward to reading more. As with previous books in this series, Alien Conquest is available through this publisher if you reside outside the U.S., otherwise the book can be purchased at Amazon (hyperlink for title), which is where the author’s website sends readers in the U.S.  Readers also need to be aware that this series was published previously and has been revised for Totally Bound.

Tasha is kidnapped along with her niece, Princess Noelle of Kalquor, to be used as a pawn in a civil war between the factions that want only purebloods on Kalquor.  Tasha is one of the Earth women that is supposed to mate with one of the clans to help with the repopulation of Kalquor.  Unexpected help comes from Clan Falinset.

Alien Hostage is the tenth book in the Clans of Kalquor series.  Kalquor has basically split into two factions, the purebloods that don’t mind being extinct within 300 years and those that want their people to survive by clanning with women from Earth.  I love the world the author has created as it is interesting, especially the reason for having clans.  Each clan consists of a Dramok or leader, the Imdiko or caretaker, and the Nobek or protector. 

The Basma, leader of the pureblood group, has resorted to kidnapping and blackmail to get his way. Clan Falinset, whose Dramok is actually the biological son of the Basma, does everything he can to keep his father out of his life.  Unfortunately, it is difficult as the other two members, Nur and Wekniz, have been recipients of the Basma’s shenanigans.  Clan Falinset hides Tasha and the Noelle once they escape the camp they had been taken to.

As the four adults learn more about each other and start learning to trust each other, they wonder if Tasha will be able to clan with the men since Falinset, Nur and Wekniz will come under suspicion, once their family ties are revealed.  That doesn’t stop them from having some very intense sex scenes during their time together.

Several characters from the previous books show up as secondary characters, including Norpak. Norpak is fascinating, especially with the act she does, and ends up being a big part of getting Noelle back home.  The resolution of the civil war was still up in the air by the end of the story and I am looking forward to reading the next story in the Clans of Kalquor book. 

As with Alien Embrace, Alien Hostage is available through this publisher if you reside outside the U.S., otherwise the book can be purchased at Amazon (hyperlink for title), which is where the author’s website sends readers in the U.S.  Readers also need to be aware that this series was published previously and has been revised for Totally Bound.

Earth is now run by a fanatical religious government that will do anything to keep its citizens “pure”.  Amelia is an invited resident artist on Plasius but comes to the attention of the Kalquorians. What happens when cultures collide?

Alien Embrace is the first book in the Clans of Kalquor.  This is the first book by author Tracy St. John I have read and really enjoyed this book.  A couple of things need to be said about purchasing this book though.  The book is available through this publisher if you reside outside the U.S., otherwise the book can be purchased at Smashwords*, which is where the author’s website sends readers in the U.S.  Readers also need to be aware that this series was published previously and has been revised for Totally Bound. I also caution readers that the abduction scenario can cause some triggers as there are some scenes that may be construed as dubious consent.  That being said, I really enjoyed reading this book as the author created an interesting world.

Because of the problems regarding the population of the Kalquor, they have come up with an interesting social structure of three men creating a clan or family unit, which needs to find their Matara.  Amelia’s clan consists of a Council member, a medical officer and a soldier.  The Kalquor have some unique physical characteristics that make for some very intense sex scenes. 

Amelia has to overcome some major hang ups due to her upbringing on earth.  Most of her resistance to becoming the beloved of the clan is mental.  Even though Plasius’s people are very open about sex, even in public, Amelia has learned to ignore it as much as possible, even though her friends among them can’t quite understand. 

Cultures clash when Amelia becomes pregnant and marries into the clan.  Despite the bad guys and the way Amelia is taken from her clan, things work out.  The author has a way of describing things that will take you right into the story and got my blood pressure up with some of the intensity of the story.  I had to laugh at the way the Plasius leader took charge in one scene toward the end of the book.

I am looking forward to reading more stories in this series.

Rugged Salvation

Marina is still reeling from the disagreements and, what she perceives, the abandonment by her sister.  James, Jeremiah, and Johnny want her for their mate after meeting her, but it is going to be a very rocky road to convince Marina to stay. 

The third book in the Rugged Savage Valley, Colorado series is extremely emotional.  Rugged Salvation picks up right after the second book after Marina’s sister finds her bear-shifter mates.  Marina has a lot of baggage to work through, which was brought out in Rugged Return, so a reader needs to read it before reading this book.  It was no surprise that Marina would be one of the bear-shifter mates. 

Marina has a major attitude adjustment, once she realizes she is actually attracted to the three brothers.  There were so many times when I would have just told the brothers to forget it and move on and wanted to slap Marina silly, due to her stunts and attitude.  For most of the book, she was so close minded about even the possibility of love and still having a career that encompassed her music.  I liked the way the career issue was resolved at the end, but was actually not a surprise to me. 

The author brought one of the secondary characters in this series to front and center in dealing with the four main characters.  I really like this man and actually hope that there will be a book about him after this series is over.  Several mentions of the lion-shifters appear, as well as previous bear-shifters, in this book.   

I am looking forward to reading about the last two families in the future.  

Note: There are two different series in the Savage Valley, Colorado collection. Rugged Savage Valley by Edith Dubois is bear-shifters. The Pride of Savage Valley series by Helena Ray is mountain lion-shifters. Each book features a different romantic trio or quartet. Even though the two series take place in the same setting with crossover characters and share an external story arc, each of the series can stand alone.

Cum and Go

Because the planet Normia and Halariel are from would not let a clone be in the spotlight, Normia has been the behind the scenes singer and body double for Halariel. Nash, Lero, and Gar are Normia’s mates, though she has been careful to avoid the three together until she was ready.

Cum and Go is the best book in the For Ever More series so far. Normia is like any young woman that wants to see the world before settling down. Normia has been very careful to isolate each one of her clone mates, sleeping with them separately, and not letting them know she is their fourth. Because of threats, Nash, Lero, and Gar are hired as bodyguards for Halariel.

The agent didn’t realize that, once he hired them, Normia would no longer be able to double for her friend. The hunt to find Normia after she is kidnapped had an interesting twist that could have come out of the headlines about new technology and how it is being used. I thought the author did a beautiful job showing several functions of this technology.

I hope the author will follow up with other sets within the various clone series as she has definitely captured my interest in the For Ever More series. Each book can be read by itself, but you will get the most enjoyment reading them in order.

Asher, Ecan and Shen are the new lawmen on Hakur and end up arresting Kalli after a fight in her bar. Kalli knows she is their mate, but decides to make them come to her as punishment, once they discover that fact.

In the third book of the Four Ever More series, Cum And Get Me follows another set of clones. This time, the author showcases some of the prejudices that the clones encounter as well as, how some are accepted and embraced by the world they live in. Asher, Ecan, and Shen get off on the wrong foot with Kalli and have to make up ground. I found the punishment Kalli devised very realistic as she basically made them grovel. The book also showcased the friendship that some of the clones have. Each book can be read alone, but the first book, Cum To Me, probably should be read first to get the background regarding the clones.

Pelly has a major problem as she tends to teleport naked when she climaxes. One day she teleports to the Law Offices of Tamer, Zel, and Marn and learns she is a clone and they are her mates.

Cum To Me is the first book of the Four Ever More series about matched sets of clones. The author goes into detail about the clones in the prologue, which makes this story realistic from the standpoint of the premise. I found it interesting that in this story, special dispensation had to be granted in order for them to live on this world in a poly relationship. The author has created a realistic premise that could actually happen in the far future, based on the current cloning experiments in our society. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Raleigh is a clone and has become the object of obsession by a prince who has done everything to get her under his control. He sends Azeel, Rafael and Hector, also clones, to bring her to him. The prince doesn’t realize that he has sent Raleigh her mates.

The author has created an unusual society about a race of clones. Each trio of male clones will have one female that has a set protocol before they can reproduce and keeps them from reproducing with humans. Kingdom Cum explains the different mating ritual than those of humans and is also the story about the obsession of one man for a woman. The author has realistically captured the obsession that a stalker has when he is obsessed with a person that could be taken from news reports. Legally, Azeel, Rafael and Hector try everything in their power to remove the threat to their mate.

As I wondered how this story would be resolved, the author threw in a twist at the end that really surprised me. In a society that accepts clones, this twist would be very realistic and also explains the protection, by the emperor, of Raleigh’s family. I am looking forward to reading additional stories from this author.
