Synopsis (Goodreads):
Anna Elliott wanted to get away. But an alien spaceship was not on the itinerary!

All Anna needed was a calm, relaxing vacation. Instead, she finds herself enslaved aboard an alien spacecraft and forced to help an injured prisoner — a huge, golden-skinned warrior. Even wounded, he arouses her in ways she’s never known. But if he dies, so does she.

When the spaceship crashes on a strange planet, she must put her trust in him to survive. But the passion he stirs in her may cause her to lose her heart as well.

Jakkar is a Sardoran mercenary searching desperately for a new planet to replace his dying home world. He never expected to be injured, captured, and then shipwrecked. Forbidden to mate outside his species, he can’t help but be tempted by Anna’s curvy body and her caring heart.

Now he’s responsible for the small group of survivors — and the luscious little human he’s determined to claim as his own.

Can a girl and her alien find happiness on a deserted planet at the far end of the galaxy?
Thoughts on Anna and the Alien: I've read a couple of later books in this series and wanted to go back and hit up the beginning, so here we are. Seeing how it all began. (And, for the record, these books do totally work as stand alones based on me reading them all out of order.)

So. Anna and Jakkar. Frankly, Anna has a kind of crazy day/situation that puts her in Jakkar's path. She survives a plane crash only to be taken as a slave by a kind of jerky (for the most part) group of aliens who are waaaaayyyyy into being creepy. She's forced to use her admittedly minuscule medical skills to save Jakkar and a ROMANCE IS BORN.

Okay, it's not quite as easy as that. But Jakkar and Anna are both intrigued by one another and when the opportunity presents itself for them to escape (with a few others), they take it. And then they spend MORE time with one another.

On his end, Jakkar's people are a little insular (so he doesn't think a relationship with an alien female will be tolerated by the higher ups) and proud and they're desperate for a new home planet before they fall into the downward spiral of extinction (I might be being a leeeetle bit dramatic there, but just a tiny bit). Their situation forces him to unbend some of this thinking, but it's not always easy between the two of them.

Bottom line: I <3 aliens and the craziness that comes with them hooking up with human women. I'm in!
