Synopsis (Goodreads):
Can love forge a path between an alien invader and his human mate?

When the Yehrin arrive on Earth, Emily Rogers is more intrigued than scared - intrigued enough to work for them on the United Worlds project. But in a single night, everything changes. Sabotage destroys the project and kills the alien male she trusted. Now the gentle Yehrin scholars are replaced by fierce Yehrin fighters.

Frightened and alone, Emily runs home to her small North Carolina town - only to be followed by one of the massive horned warriors.

Commander T’lan is a Yehrin male of unquestioned honor. Investigating the destruction, he discovers his mate in a delicate human female. But she is pregnant by another, and her pregnancy may be the hope his species so desperately needs.

Will the need to protect his race destroy T’lan’s relationship with the one person he has spent his life searching for? After being betrayed by one alien, can Emily learn to trust another?
Thoughts on Alien Conquest: Alien invasions, a...err, romantic situation that is shrouded in mystery, and potential sabotage of a formerly peaceful mission. YES. I'm in.

Emily's situation is a little sticky. With no real memory of the night she ended up pregnant, she's confused and a little conflicted about how she ended up in this situation. When things escalate and the aliens go into lockdown of the planet, she's even more bewildered and frightened. Throw in an alien warrior who doesn't have a problem dishing out a little violence on those who don't follow the rules set down for them, and she's even more conflicted.

Although, honestly, the violence part could have been avoided if a certain subset of townsfolk had minded their own business and left Emily alone.

As for T'lan, he's got a lot on his plate. His people are supposed to avoid exactly the sort of situation that got Emily in her delicate condition in the first place and yet here they are. He has to figure out how to keep his honey-bunny safe while also safeguarding the tenants that had been put in place (and been broken once already) without causing any more unrest among the soldiers.

A little tangled, a lot sexy, and chock-full of aliens. Alien invasions, man. I LIKE 'EM!
