Synopsis (Goodreads):

Marilyn never imagined she’d have to leave Earth to find the love of her life.

From the moment Marilyn Romero wakes up on the alien ship, all she cares about is getting home to Earth. But the Atronox, the most notorious smugglers in the galaxy, have other ideas. The market for Earth women is booming, and they plan on cashing in.

There’s only one man who can help her.

General Koba, leader of the Force, has dedicated his life to stopping intergalactic criminal activity. All he cares about is maintaing law and order in the galaxy, until he boards the Atronox ship and meets an Earth women who takes his breath away.

Marilyn wants to go home, and Koba promises to take her there. The only problem? He’s never heard of Earth before. Now as their feelings grow for each other, it will be impossible for them to return to their old lives.

As they team up to stop the Atronox and save the other women, they’ll both discover that home has never been that far away.

Thoughts on General Koba: I'm down with big, blue, and tattooed. I'm especially down when said tattooed hottie is fighting the good fight against space slavers and other dangerous things.

That said, this book does move very quickly. Koba feels things for Marilyn the first time he lays eyes on her. She's attracted to him (as one would be), but figures it's just the fact that he swooped in to save her from some very bad aliens. So, you know, she isn't quite as all in as he is as quickly.

The bad guys do some despicable things. The good guys have some fairly strict space force rules they have to follow. Frankly, the baddies make them look a little foolish once or twice. But Koba and his crew step up and whoop some alien butt. Sort of.

Hunky aliens fighting the good fight. An earth woman who gets tossed in the middle of something dangerous. I'm going to admit that's a recipe for good times in my book.
