Synopsis (Goodreads):

Stranded at the edge of the galaxy, I’ll do anything to return to Earth! But first, I’m stolen right before my escape plan and dragged through the alien wilderness. Now, I’m payment for a medic… who doesn’t even want me!

Vasek can’t wait to drop me off at his next destination, if we even make it there alive. The ruthless thugs after us seem to think I’m the key to untold fortunes. But I’m not! I’m just a girl who wants to go home.

The hyper-protective medic isn’t just my best bet for survival; his chiseled form sets my body ablaze, and his kindness fills my soul with hope. And the more time I spend with Vasek, the more I wonder if Earth is really where I want to be.

Thoughts on A Mate for Vasek: Vasek, the Tallean medic who will gladly patch up anyone provided they follow his rules, is up and his special someone is a human lady who is not in the best shape when she slides into his orbit. Mostly because she's been stolen from her most recent owner and her current owner is not a good guy. I mean, he doesn't see the point in having Vasek cure what ills her AND he's dragging her through the wilderness in an attempt to escape the group he stole her from.

Fortunately for Dawn, Vasek IS a good guy. Given her experiences with other Talleans, she doesn't believe that at first, but Vasek fixes her up and manages to get her out of immediate danger. Sure, they end up holed up in one of his safe houses (or safe caves/overhangs, I guess), but he keeps her safe and rescues her from what could have been a terrible situation.

As for Vasek, he has it in his head that his bloodline is cursed and things will end VERY badly for any male who forms a mate bond form his family. So he does his level best to try to keep that from happening with Dawn. Let me tell you something: it doesn't matter how hard they fight it, the mate bond always wins in the end.

A little danger, some one-on-one time in the wilds, a harsh dose of reality about the current circumstances back on Earth, complicated family ties, a male who can't fight a mate bond no matter what he thinks, and a lady who has to recalibrate her expectations once she meets a Tallean worth knowing. *thumbs up*
