This is a very erotic book, nearly from the first few pages. Stranded by a rogue wormhole in an unknown quadrant of space, far from other humans, Tommelise and her ship's intelligence, Blue are carrying on with salvage work in an effort to get home again. To manage it they need a local crew. Then they run into a trio of three different species-- one of who looks tremendously like an extra handsome human-- running a scam in a bar. Tommi follows her instincts and recruits them. The wisest of them accepts, moments before the station authorities sound the alert.
I really enjoyed learning about the three different males and their contrasting species back-stories. I further enjoyed how Tommi decides to give in to the pheromones of the situation and physically bond with the crew member who requires it most urgently. Each of her new crew proves their worth in turn as they all put their intelligences to the task of staying alive in the daunting custody of the Bufo Empress.
There's a lot of unusual secretions and mind-boggling fight scenes including them. The cover portrait of our heroine shows her hair stiff with a gray material when she's described initially as strawberry blond, and you might not want to know exactly why. But it suits her, and shows how far she's willing to go to make this extraordinary crew function at optimum levels.
If you like your sex truly mind-blowing, this is the series for you.
Thank you, Booksprout.
