Synopsis (Goodreads):
Our planet, Mortuus, is lost and dying.
A desolate place where a few lone survivors dwell.
My men have lost hope. Our future is bleak.
Longevity is a luxury we can’t afford.
The most we can hope for is survival.
We’ve all but given up when an opportunity presents itself.

Five females—a chance at a future.
Procuring these women went against everything I’d been taught, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
They’re ours now.
Asleep and made ready for breeding.
We won’t die out—lost and forgotten.
It’s our destiny to grow and once again inhabit our lonely planet.

I am Breccan Aloisius, the forgotten commander.
My people will have the future they deserve.
I’ll make sure of it.

My mind is made up…until she wakes and nothing goes as planned.
Thoughts on The Forgotten Commander: Yesssss. A dangerous planet with a dying people whose only hope is a group of stolen women who could mean a future if the commander has anything to say about it. I am SO here for this.

To be fair, I wasn't sure I would be okay with the forced impregnation scenario, but.... BUT BUT BUT it totally worked for this story. While I'm not a big fan of the idea of something like that being done to women without their consent, I do understand where Breccan and the surviving morts were coming from when Breccan made the decision. I think it was how Breccan reacted once Aria was awake and able to make her voice heard that turned the tide for me.

Well, that and how utterly sweet (while somehow also being kind of vicious and survival-minded) the morts were when all was said and done.

As for Aria, her muddled memory complicates things. She's completely confused by how she ended up on a transport ship to be stolen and brought to the planet. (and when we do find out the circumstances...heh! Yessssss. You do what you have to do, Aria.) But, she's also smart enough to realize her well-being currently rests in the hands of the aliens who awakened her. So she plays her part and ends up falling for Breccan as she gets to know him.

A dangerous, doomed, messed-up planet with a group of dangerous, doomed, sexy space vampire aliens. I'm totally down with this world and all the crazy in it.
