Meet The Resistance: TornRox
About
Roxy:
I walked to work on Earth; I woke up today chained to a huge alien with tusks and purple eyes, on a nearly empty planet with a sky the same color. Even more improbably? He says I’m his, and we’re both tasked with eventually building a freaking guerilla force to liberate the planet. Uh, yeah, okay, I’ll get right on that.
Torn:
I never thought I’d meet a potential mate, and I’m wondering just how badly I’m going to screw things up. At least, with these shackles, she can’t get away from me. But even if I do screw things up, I’m still on the hook for the promise I made to the Baroness, to set up a resistance force capable of taking out her husband and reclaiming the planet for her.
Chorus:
Um, good luck, I guess?
CW:
This story has strong allusions to childhood SA in the FMC’s past, but no details or direct discussion of it.
Maizy:
These stories (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) go back a few years before Mated Fates #1 & 2, so we can meet the small resistance group that will be pivotal in books 3 & 4, but they can also be read as standalones without any other prior reading. Sexually explicit content for readers 18+.
Praise for this book
This novella was a fun change from the intensive worldbuilding of the first 2 books, and I enjoyed the focus on just the couple dynamics (which is impossible to avoid, when they're chained together). Really excited for the rest of the 'resistance' books, too, so we can see those couples and find out how they integrate into the main story line.
There is a lot of sex (the epilogue is basically one long sex scene). But there is also a great story with two amazing, loveable characters.
