About this ebook

I’ll die without her, but convincing her to stay might kill me faster

NeonValkyrie

I’m an analyst… and sometimes hacker, not a babysitter for lovesick aliens. But uncovering a galaxy-shattering conspiracy means hitching a ride on a Kyvernian ship with a captain who swears I’m his fated mate and he’ll die without me. But I have bigger problems. I stumbled onto a secret, now rival hacker IonSpecter is out for my blood. I don’t do relationships, but with Cirdox’s time running out—and the pull between us impossible to ignore—we might solve both our problems... if we survive.

Cirdox:

She was mine the second she stepped on my ship—fate or not. NeonValkyrie’s a complication I didn’t need, but now I can’t get her off my ship—or out of my head. I’m smuggling luminore, not for profit, but to keep the Black Eclipse from tightening their grip on the people who need it most. My time’s running out. I’m fighting a losing battle with my body, and she’s the only one who can help me, whether she admits it or not. She doesn’t trust me, but without her, I’m dead—and if I fall, everything I’ve fought for will fall with me.

*********

Each book in the Alien Gambits series can be read as a standalone, though the overarching conspiracy deepens with each installment. Readers who enjoy Anna Carven's Dark Planet Warriors or V.K. Ludwig's Ice Planet-style romances will find their next addictive read in this cyberpunk-meets-alien romance adventure.

4 1/4 stars - This sci-fi adventure fated mate romance story is about Neon Valkyrie a hacker and Cirdox, captain of starship Void Reaver and member of the Brotherhood. This was a very interesting and enjoyable story that's full of action, drama and action. Our characters were very likable and well detailed. Escaping for her life, Neon sneaks onboard the starship and an intruder alert blares while Cirdox goes to investigate. This is how they meet. What occurs was an engaging story to read. ARC

3.25 stars. This story is dual POV, and a clever, interesting premise of a sci fi romance, with a human cyborg hacker and a winged humanoid alien pirate. I enjoyed Neon Valkyrie’s strength and the justice focus of her efforts. I enjoyed Cirdox’s joy in finding his fated mate, and adored his consent focus that saw him willing to die rather than force Neon Valkyrie’s acceptance of their bond. I enjoyed the non-romance plot premise, and the character development associated with it.

The Orion universe is huge, but it only takes a few villains to create a battle between politics, pirates, police, and an intense cybernetic force bent on controlling it all. The imagination is intriguing, but there were parts where I wanted to smack the lead female for the choices she made. It needs to be read to understand. This is part of a series but wad a good standalone also. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
