Alien Warrior's Bounty by Lizzy Bequin

4 Stars

This sci-fi roman ce was well written and edited, with few typos that I caught in the ARC version of this manuscript. The world building was excellent, with the current intergalactic community built on the bones of the ancient civilization which was much more technologically advanced then the current space faring races. The characterization of the hero and heroine was great, with both of them being vibrant, sympathetic individuals. The heroine of this romance never hesitated to defend herself or pull the trigger when necessary, which is one of my favorite things about this author's writing style and voice. The development of the romantic relationship between these two characters was fairly natural and organic, especially considering the length of the novel and how much plot was happening in addition to the romance. The pacing and plot of this novel was excellent, with plenty of action and adventure elements and me the reader rapidly turning the pages, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. There was very little angst in this novel, and very high stakes, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel contains the Fated Mates trope. The world building, plot, and pacing all rated four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship also rated four stars, for a combined score of four stars. This novel has a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus for this novel. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy sci-fi romance novels with alien heroes and adventure elements. I plan to buy myself a keeper copy of this novel, for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would like to re-read it occasionally.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
