This is another sweet and steamy romance set on the Colony. There is a feisty space-worthy heroine and an intelligent swoon-worthy hero. Maia, a medic bound for the Colony, wakes from stasis to discover that not only has she been kidnapped by an alien, but is about to give birth to his “experiment.” Quick thinking rids her of half the problem, but now she needs to get help before the baby decides it’s time to come. Joost, aka Ghost, is an Emergency Services Agent from the Colony sent to answer Maia’s emergency beacon. It’s too bad he looks a lot like the bad guy alien, and is about to meet the same fate. Fortunately, for him and our story, Ghost is a djinn who is able to materialize and dematerialize when necessary. Due to another emergency, Ghost can’t get clearance to land right away, and the baby is coming. Can he handle this? What will happen when they make it to the Colony? Ghost and Maia like each other. That’s a good place to start. Good read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

l have a soft spot for colony aliens. Tis story will not disappoint. Getting over your own trouble is hard. Helping another is impossible when you want to wrap them in protective layers and keep them safe until they heal. Not everyone wants to be cared for and protected in this way. A gutsy, compelling story that lets you know all is nott normal when you add hormones and babies.

I enjoyed reading this short book. There were plenty of parts that made me laugh. The romance is sweet. The pages get a little bit steamy near the end, but it's more sweet than anything. I'm enjoying the world of the colony more with each book I read in it. I received a free advanced copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest 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.
