Synopsis (Goodreads):
A marriage to a Scoriah is never convenient

When Admiral Lucinda Ryan seeks a political deal for a husband, she negotiates a trade arrangement for her family and in return, secures the position of the alien Scoriah. All she wants is a marriage of convenience: a man in her bed, her ex unable to claim a hold on her family, and a trained killer to protect her daughter. If he growls while she makes him burn, all the better--as long as all that heat stays in her cabin where it belongs.

Tay Bronson sacrifices himself to keep his family safe. If he has to have intimate relations with a human who can't tell him and his brothers apart, at least he can make her beg for her pleasure. Or at least, that's the plan. But when she introduces him to his insta-daughter whose sleep is disturbed nightly by what she claims is a ghost, he gets more than he bargained for. Keeping his family safe now means facing monsters he never saw coming.
Thoughts on Breaking the Admiral: It's been a while since I dipped my toes into the world of the Scoriah and I had almost forgotten how physical they could be with one another. Heck, with their mates, too. Not that Tay was willing to call Lucie that at first. Being folded into the Bronson family takes more than a contract between two people and Lucie and Tay had a few things to work out before they could join the happily mated pairs.

One thing they didn't have to work out was how quickly Tay took to Lucie's daughter. I do love when big, brooding, oftentimes fierce warriors go all soft and mushy around kids. Tay accepts Adele as his to protect and cherish from the first moment he lays eyes on her.

It just, you know, the tension between him and Lucie that takes a while to resolve.

But resolve it they do. Along with a plot that wouldn't do any of them any good. GOOD TIMES!

A little danger, a lot of steam, and just the right amount of family. I do like these crazy, fierce aliens and the situations they find themselves in.
