Tribute by Tana Stone

4 Stars

This novel was cleanly written and edited, with only a few typos in the ARC version of this manuscript. The world building was excellent, just like the previous books in this series. The desert and the fortress came to life in this novel. The characterization of the hero and heroine were both excellent, with the heroine in this case being commitment shy and the hero yearning for love and commitment. The development of the romantic relationship happened organically and believably, so that I bought into these two characters' HEA. The plot was exciting and so was the pacing, with me quickly turning pages to find pout what was going to happen next! This novel contained a medium amount of angst and very high stakes. This novel used the Mars Needs Women trope and the Fated Mates trope, just like the previous novels in this series. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship rated four stars in this novel. The plot, pacing, and world building also all rated four stars. Therefore, the combined score of this novel was four stars. This novel ends on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus to this novel. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy alien sci-fi romances or readers who have enjoyed the previous books in this series. I will be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
