Synopsis (Goodreads):
After losing her job, apartment, and boyfriend in one afternoon, Zoey doesn’t think things can get any worse. Then an uninvited passenger — green, four-armed, and sexy as sin — proves her wrong by dragging her into his frantic escape. Helping Rendash is the right thing to do, but it means becoming a fugitive and risking the only things she has left — her life, and her heart.

Weakened by years of captivity and torture, Rendash, an elite aligarii warrior, seizes his only opportunity to escape. Alone in an alien wasteland, he seeks the aid of a human — one of the very species that imprisoned him. But he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Zoey, and his need to protect her soon wars with his mission — return to his homeworld.

With a shadowy government agency pursuing them, Zoey and Rendash must race across the country before he is recaptured, and she is thrown in a dark cell as a traitor to her kind. But their greatest obstacle may be the most unlikely — their insatiable attraction to one another.
Thoughts on Claimed by an Alien Warrior: I can honestly say my love for alien romances has only grown stronger with this book. This one just...worked for me. On so many levels. Rendash is decidedly non-human (the four arms and four eyes are only the start of their differences), but he's sweet and strong and noble. AND I LOVE THAT IN MY ALIENS.

That said, Rendash and Zoey's relationship isn't all puppies and rainbows. Given the years of abuse he's suffered at the hands of humans, Ren fights against the draw Zoey has on him. He doesn't want to be attracted to one of the same species that hurt him, but Zoey's kindness and her willingness to put herself on the line to help him starts to thaw him a bit at a time.

Frankly, Ren falls into Zoey's life when she's almost at rock bottom. She's had a rough day when he steals into her car and it takes a while for her to get used to his very alien appearance. But since she's a genuinely nice person, she soon sees that he needs her help and, well, things progress from there.

A noble alien, a kind human, a dangerous government agency led by a man with now qualms about causing a little collateral damage as long as his end goal is achieved. Yup, everything I love in my sci-fi romances plus some!
