Synopsis (Goodreads):

He will be lord of his own solar system, but he can’t claim the homeworld until he takes a bride. He needs the right mate to win his mating rings, but choosing one female from among the neighboring systems while slighting the others could start an interstellar incident—and this ex-mercenary starship captain has finally had enough of war. Where in the universe can a runaway cyborg prince find a naïve female willing to risk her life on the dangerous frontiers of space?

Thoughts on Alpha Star: I picked up this book as part of an anthology and loved it so much I immediately put the other three books in the series on my wishlist. Sin was...complicated. The galaxy he lived in was complex. I was already onboard with those two things and then he started...I don't know what you call it. He was fricking forming mating rings out of his body. Let's just say that was the thing that made me go from like to love with the story.

I enjoy a strong man who finds his special someone and ends up so completely smitten he can't back away no matter how much he might think he needs to. Admittedly, Sin gave it a good try. He was willing to risk his life to give Zoe her freedom. I dunno. I just liked the guy. He was surly and growly and he went all in when he needed to.

Zoe, on the other hand, was...fragile, for lack of a better word. She's recovering from a brain injury that's completely derailed the life she had planned. While she was never meant to get pulled into the weirdness of the Intergalactic Dating Agency, she's drawn to Sin. I guess I should mention that for all her fragility, Zoe's not weak. She's still trying to adjust to the injury and it's throwing her off her stride.

Bottom line, I was entertained by Zoe and Sin and was ALL OVER his random piercings that appeared. *thumbs up*
