HOW TO TRAIN YOUR HUMAN OMEGA is the first book in the Coveted Bonds series. We start with Clay in space. He's a pilot and is currently helping a group of scientists investigate a wormhole. Arcay is an Aldar - a seven-foot-tall purple alien. As soon as Arcay sees Clay, he knows he is an omega and wants to claim him. He kidnaps Clay and takes him back to the Aldar ship. And then the fun starts...

This was a great read, easy to follow, and with a reenactment of one of my favourite scenes from Beauty and the Beast! The cultural and language misunderstandings are amusing, as well as the inner monologues. There are also some darker topics mentioned, so be warned.

There were some parts left loose, so I'm hoping there will be an ongoing arc throughout the series. A great start to a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommended by me.

Was it Murder or Suicide?
Louise Faulk’s boring Thanksgiving shift at her precinct is interrupted when she is asked to go to a death scene. A young woman has killed herself and one of her twins, or at least that’s what Louise’s fellow officers think. But Louise thinks there is more to the story. Can she find the while conducting an unofficial investigation? Or will it get her fired?

This book is definitely darker than what I normally read, so keep that in mind when you pick it up. Unfortunately, the plot wanders a bit before we reach the suspenseful and logical climax. On the other hand, I did enjoy getting to spend time with Louise and the rest of the regulars. We don’t get a nice wrap up for the ongoing storylines, but we do get some advancement on them, and there aren’t any cliffhangers. The book is set at the end of 1914, and that provided a nice backdrop to the action of the book. While not the strongest book in the series, fans will enjoy our last visit with Louise.

loved them both, together and apart!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I should say, I'm UK based, so the 1812 war between Canada and the US is not really one I know anything about. Therefore, I cannot comment on the accuracy of the details in this book.

What I can comment on, though, is the story between Zee and Jesse and their struggle to cope during this war. I loved them both, together and apart. They are both strong people, emotionally, do deal with such a difficult time, and to come out the other side.

It's beautifully written, from both Zee and Jesse's POV. There are wonderful descriptions of the scenery in that part of the world. I really enjoyed trying to picture them.

It has some lighter moments, but some darker ones too. There was much that made me cry.

I haven't read anything by this author before, A quick look shows her books seem to be about couples in settings with a war backdrop. I'd like to read more from this author.

4 very good stars
