Synopsis (Goodreads):

He’s found his mate and he’s keeping her.

Jacole is supposed to leave in the morning to start training at Quantico. Instead she’s been kidnapped by asshole space pirates who are about to sell her and the other women they’ve captured as sex slaves to the highest bidder. Oh hell, no. Jacole vows they’ll soon realize they’ve caught the wrong damn human. She organizes a mutiny to take down the f*kers who’ve kidnapped them…but the plan is interrupted when someone blows a hole in the side of the ship.

A seven foot tall lethal warrior emerges from the rubble with a weapon in each clawed hand. Jacole is speechless before this display of manly glory. This Bounty Hunter is easily the handsomest man (alien) she’s ever seen. Her panties are instantly wet. He touches her, kisses her, throws her on his ship and claims her, and vows she’s the female he’s waited all his life to find. His Bride!

What the hell?

Well, he might be a lover like no other and an aggressive and driven male she could actually…admire, but Jacole doesn’t do forever. In order to earn her love, he has to earn her trust.

Thoughts on Joyzal's Prize: Alien Bounty Hunters, man. I like these guys. Mostly because they're a little too much, but just enough all at the same time. What? It makes sense to me.

Honestly, I get a kick out of how everything goes wrong (or right, if you're Joyzal) when Jacole meets Joyzal. She ends up rescued and mated within a short frame of time and she has NO CLUE how the mating part happened. Until, you know, it's pretty much spelled out for her. Being a strong, independent earth woman, she kinda digs in her heels when things are revealed. All things considered, it makes sense. Bonding with someone for all time is something that shouldn't be done on the fly.

But here they are. Bonded.

Meanwhile, Joyzal has given up on finding his special someone and is shocked when everything falls into place. Unlike other females of his species, Jacole doesn't see his lighter colored skin as being inferior, she just sees the incredibly determined man who revs her engine.

Again, I like these aliens and their mate-claiming ways. They're straightforward and can be kind of clueless at times, but they get the job done. And that's what it's all about.
