Synopsis (Goodreads):

Savannah Gray is homesick. Her part of the mission has turned out to be a bust (nobody needs a medic when you’re dealing with giant self-healing aliens). She can’t wait to leave the ice planet Attala in her dust and head back to Earth.

Until she meets Ozmyx.

Ozmyx, the second-in-command of the elite Attalan Guard, is assigned as her alien bodyguard. The fierce warrior was raised by a severe father and is only interested in fighting. Until Savannah thaws his ice-cold heart with her sweet Southern charm. Suddenly, he’s questioning everything he’s ever known.

Things heat up when they’re forced to rely on each other for survival in the harsh winter landscape. Will she be able to break through the walls he has built up around his heart? Or will Ozmyx let his fated mate slip out of his grasp?

Thoughts on Her Alien Warrior: Big, tough aliens falling for human woman is one of those tropes I ADORE. I enjoy watching men who have no intention of falling for the women who are so unlike women on their own planet end up hopelessly tangled up in relationships with them.

Savannah and Ozmyx have their share of difficulties. Mostly in that Ozmyx is determined to NOT fall into the trap of mating one of the humans like his warrior brothers have. Which means Savannah spends most of her time on Attala with a surly, gruff warrior she's sure doesn't like her. Until, of course, Savannah's life if threatened and Ozmyx realizes he could be letting his greatest treasure go without even trying.

A few secrets are uncovered, the crew have to face that they're going to need to do something radical to get one of their own back, and a surprise announcement or two are made. Considering Earth needs the mineral the crew has found to keep from dying, I'm wondering how things are going to play out in the final book.
