From the Reader's Favorite Review: "Delle's desire to train as an architect in a society that intended to use women as reproductive vessels spoke to my heart regarding equal rights. The story delivered a resounding romance enlivened with a touch of spice and resonant with human warmth."
Earner of a 5 Star Review from @magicbookcorner on IG!
From @magicbookcorner Review: "The chemistry between them [Delle and Caide] is off the roof and taking into account the fact that steamy scenes here are fade to black, one has got to admire this author's ability to make her readers literally feel it."
Earth was ripped apart during the Final War, but the alien Overlords have come down to save us.
Or have they?
Delle: Life is simple for my older sister, even under the Overlords' rule. She's happily married and a mother of four. According to our alien rulers, I should be emulating her. But I want more than to be a breeder, having some blasted alien's babies. Nope. Not the life for me. Then a cruel alien Flight Commander tries to claim me as his own. My only way out is a marriage of convenience... with an Overlord from the planet Asterion. Caide, my brother-in-law's boss. It's the last thing I want, but Overlord Caide promises he won't force anything on me. Sex. Babies. Love.
Caide: The illegitimate son of an Asterion noble, I took a spot on one of the first starships coming to Earth where I built a new life for myself. Now my half-brother, my father's heir, has died, and my father wants me to return home. In order to circumvent my father, I must marry a human female so the Asterion nobility will consider me tainted. I can't deny that Delle, my employee's sister-in-law, with her generous curves and hot temper, has caught my eye. She's also caught the eye of a harsh military ruler. She needs a way to escape him, and I need a way to escape going home. So I offer her a bargain. A marriage bargain.
One of the stipulations she sets is that we can't fall in love. But that may be the part of the bargain I can't keep. As it turns out, Delle is my mate. Whether she believes it -- likes it -- or not.
Moriah Blackwood's Bound to an Overlord series is spicy-sweet and steamy-clean. This means it's more than birthday cake, less than a ghost pepper. Your windows might fog, but the door ultimately stays shut. In other words, you get plenty of sizzle without the scorch. It is fade to black/"closed door" romance, perfect for those who want a story in-between "sweet and clean" and "spicy." Each full-length novel has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating.
If you love alien romance, sci-fi romance, dystopian, or spec fic romance in general, Moriah Blackwood is a must-read!
