Night of the Zandians

One moment she was a human slave and the next she was bonded to three aliens and expected to be pregnant for the price to live freely.

Riya is a human slave when the Zandian warriors are given their choice in mates to celebrate winning back their planet. Tarren, Roman, and Jax set eyes on Riya and choose her. Unfortunately for them, Riya does not want to be chosen for she has secrets of her own and fears that she cannot meet the needs of the men or of the committee ruling the Zandian planet. The main needs are to create a survivable planet and to procreate. Riya is smart and figures she can help the men create a livable environment. She is extremely attracted to all three of the men so bedding them will not be a problem. There are one or two other “minor” issues and she worries that she will not make herself invaluable enough to her new mates before they discover the truth or she loses her heart.

Renee Rose and Rebel West infuse plenty of heart and sex into Night of the Zandians (2018) the first in the “Zandian Brides” series and A Reverse Harem Romance. I was expecting a different type of book when I read the blurb and I was pleasantly surprised to find a completely enjoyable book. The tag has BDSM, but it is very light BDSM. There are three men involved in the sex, but it is still not hardcore sex or even extremely detailed sex scenes as I have read in other erotic novels. Rose and West concentrate on the story and the romance of this poly group and they make it work. There was some science that had me scratching my head, but I did not really need it to understand boy, boy, boy, and girl get to kiss and make up (laugh). If the #MFMM tag scares you, do not let it as this is your typical romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
