Synopsis (Goodreads):

Willow can’t remember what it’s like to be free. She spends her days working under the watchful gaze of her alien captor and dreams of returning to Earth. She tries to keep hope alive, but part of her knows the likelihood of rescue fades with each passing day.

Respectability is everything to Raydn. The battle-hardened alien only cares about the mission at hand, the men under his command, and the rules that keep them all safe in an unpredictable world. Until his latest assignment leads him to a fragile Earth woman held captive on a distant planet. He falls for her, hard, and he’s determined to win her over.

Willow isn’t so sure. She cares for Raydn, but she’s struggling with the after-effects of captivity and can't see a future for herself in his world.

Will he be able to convince Willow that her home is by his side?

Raydn is the second book in the Force Series, featuring hunky intergalactic police officers and the Earth women they love. It's a stand-alone novel with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Thoughts on Raydn: Okay, so these books move pretty quickly. As in, it doesn't take long before our intergalactic defenders realize the lady they're looking after is someone they have feelings for. Special feelings. Naked feelings. On the lady's end, having someone actually care about their well-being goes a long way toward smoothing over any issues that might arise from their time in captivity.

Raydn and Willow fit the bill on all counts. He's magnificently socially awkward around pretty much everyone, but not in a bad way. More like, he has zero game when it comes to calming people down. Except, that works for Willow, so it's a non-issue. As for her, she's kinda clueless about the big, bad universe, but that's to be expected since she went from a citizen of earth to a slave in a heartbeat without getting to see much of what was out there in between.

They meet. They going through that awkward getting to know you stage. They get frisky when they should probably be watching their surroundings. But that happens.

I like aliens. I like surly enforcers who fall for their special someone when they least expect to. I like these guys.
