About this ebook
Peri joined the Colony to see the stars…but she never expected to get stuck in a domed city where she can’t see the sky. So she makes a deal with Hercules – do him one favour, and he’ll help her escape the Colony to a planet with atmosphere.
Only she wasn’t counting on a favour this big…
Atlas the yeti knows Hercules owes him, but when he comes to collect, instead of doing his own dirty work, Hercules saddles him with a Human girl who proves to be a dangerous distraction. Especially with the winter solstice fast approaching…

Quick and cute: Peri, with the stars in her eyes?🌠 I liked this light, easy read, with a yeti-like astronomer hero and a no nonsense human female farm worker who NEEDS to see a starry sky and is ready to do what she must to achieve that. Nothing too deep, some steam, a very capable female protagonist and the requisite HEA made this a fun, entertaining read. This novella is totally fine as a standalone. I read a complimentary advance copy of the story; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

When Peri left Earth, she wanted to see the stars. Coming to the Colony and Star Farms has been a disappointment. Atlas is astronomer who also tends Hera’s apple orchards. The only observatory in the dome is at the orchards, so Atlas gets to work both. Their meeting was fortuitous for several reasons. They got to date, she helped Atlas track a comet, and Peri gets to see the stars. She also helps Atlas, who is a cave yeti, get through Solstice Fever. Cute story with likeable characters.

Atlas book 8 in the Colony: Nyx series and is a part of the Intergalactic Dating Agency series. This story is full of drama, romance, steam with a strong FMC and sexy alpha males. I enjoyed reading it immensely! I highly recommend this series! I received an ARC from the author and am freely and happily leaving my review.
About the author
Demelza Carlton is the USA Today bestselling author of more than 100 fairytale and paranormal romances, with over 4 million copies sold worldwide and readers in 30+ languages. She's best known as the queen of fairytale romance — author of the Romance a Medieval Fairytale series, a 27-book collection of steamy, meticulously-researched retellings of the stories you grew up with: Beauty and the Beast (Enchant), Cinderella (Dance), Little Mermaid (Silence), Sleeping Beauty (Awaken), Snow White (Reflect), Rapunzel (Weave), Red Riding Hood (Hunt), Rumpelstiltskin (Spin), Aladdin (Wish), Hansel and Gretel (Return)… twenty-seven and counting, all set in a single shared medieval world, all written for grown-ups who never stopped loving the happily ever after. If fairytales aren't your thing, there's plenty more on the shelf. Monster romance readers can pick up the Heart of Stone, Heart of Steel and Heart of Ice series — gargoyle shifters who protect the human women they fall for, and Norse gods (Fenrir, Thor, Loki, Odin) walking around in modern-day Perth, with all the chaos that implies. Romantasy fans should head to Fated Mates of Mirror Academy: dragon, lion, wolf, tiger and bear shifters in a steamy fated-mates shifter academy. Think enemies-to-lovers, found family, and one truly unwise dragon nerd. Sci-fi romance readers go to The Colony series — three arcs (Holiday, Aqua, Nyx), aliens with personality, cowboys (yes, really), and an interplanetary romance line-up that's gone seriously sideways. Romantic comedy lives in two places: Mel Goes to Hell (Lucifer is real, he's hot, and he's a terrible boss), and Romance Island Resort, a luxury tropical island where the staff keep falling for the guests — rock stars, billionaires and the kind of bridal parties paradise was made for. For the romantic-suspense and psychological-thriller end of Demelza's catalogue, head deeper. The Siren of War series stars predatory sirens — Homer's deadly seductresses, not Disney's Ariel — lurking in the deep off Western Australia's Indian Ocean coast, in aqua and turquoise water with currents that aren't nearly so polite. And the Nightmares Trilogy is the romantic-suspense series that started Demelza's career: a psychological thriller where a girl is kidnapped by a serial killer, survives against the odds, and turns vigilante when she fears ordinary justice will fail her. What ties everything together: funny, hopeful, sexy stories where the heroine isn't sorry about wanting what she wants, the villains absolutely get what's coming to them, and a little vigilante justice goes a long way. Meticulously researched but never bogged down in detail — bright, fast and unapologetically Australian. The personal bit: Demelza lives in Perth, Western Australia — officially the shark attack capital of the world. On her first ever snorkelling trip she discovered she was afraid of fish, then got over it; since then she's swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers, and once stood on a spray-drenched cliff as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in and shattered a shipwreck below her. (She had the camera out, naturally.) She can also assure you that sharks taste delicious.
