Synopsis (Goodreads):

You can’t trust an alien.

Penny is having the worst year. First the pretty lizard aliens show up and start murdering people. Then the “good aliens” arrive and claim they’ll defend Earth and save humanity … for a price. She knows a protection racket when she sees one. And the price? Married to an alien? No thank you.

Kol has one mission: destroy the Suhlik. He’s not interested in this new planet, Earth, or the strange soft-skinned inhabitants. On a scouting mission, he catches the luscious scent of his mate and must find her in the rubble of a ruined city and bring her to the safe zone.

When Kol is wounded protecting Penny, she just can’t leave him to freeze to death in a blizzard. Besides, no one is asking her to marry him, just keep him from becoming a popsicle. She doesn’t trust him and all this nonsense about being his mate could be hypothermia talking. The more time she spends with the brawny alien warrior, the more she can’t deny the heat between them.

Once she is safe in his powerful embrace, being married to an alien is looking better by the minute.

Thoughts on Snowed in with the Alien Warlord: I have a particular soft spot for two people being snowed in and forced to get to know one another (and share body heat!), so Penny and Kol's situation was already hitting a high note for me. Throw in a devastated planet (alien invasion!), some VERY bad aliens putting our couple in a few desperate situations, and a miscommunication or two when it comes to translating human idioms (ALWAYS amusing) and I was one happy reader.

As for Penny and Kol...well, she's hiding out in the ruins of her broken city and he's got the hots for her as soon as he catches her scent. To say she wasn't interested in hooking up with an alien at first would be putting it lightly. Then they start communicating and she learns more about him and his people and, I dunno, all the things she didn't learn because she was out in the wilds instead of in the safe zone and THINGS HAPPEN.

As for Kol, he's smitten with his potential mate from the first, but gives her time to grow accustomed to the idea of them. After all, he KNOWS she's the one for him, but she doesn't have that same instincts he does and he refuses to force her into anything she's not interested in.

Good thing for both of them, Penny gets over her hangups about aliens fairly quickly and MAGIC HAPPENS. Or at least sexy times.

Aliens of both the good and bad variety, dangerous situations, and a battered world. GOOD STUFF!
