Synopsis (Goodreads):
I woke from cryostasis a prisoner. My crime? I have no idea.

I was stuck with a hundred other women, all headed to who knows where. Captive in a dank, dirty cargo hold.

Then, out of the darkness, came Solair.

A handsome alien. Golden skinned. Horned. The dashing captain of a pirate ship. They rescued us--he gave my people food, shelter, and promised us safety. In exchange?

He took me for himself.

But the people who captured us, haven’t given up. They want us back. They’re powerful and will do whatever it takes to find us. The only thing stopping them?

Solair.

He wants me. And what he takes…

He keeps.
Thoughts on Rescued by the Alien Pirate: I have a particular soft spot for people who are adrift in the far reaches of space with no idea how they came to be there and no idea how they're going to get out of the situation they're in. Varia and her crew (they might have been thrown together by circumstance, but they're still her crew when all's said and done) are in EXACTLY that situation.

Waking up with no idea where they are or how they came to be there is rough. Being rescued by a ship full of handsome, honorable aliens makes things a little better. Sure, sure, Solair and Varia poke and snarl at one another and things aren't necessarily easy for the suddenly blended crew, but they are definitely better off than they would have been. Then again, pretty much anything would be better than slowly starving to death on a derelict spaceship.

That said, Varia is not the most gracious when Solair and his crew rescue them. The weight of the human women's lives and well-being hangs on her and she gets a wee bit pushy with her rescuers instead of being grateful. Which, in turn, puts Solair's back up. That doesn't stop them from getting a little physical, mind you, but they both have to work through their knee-jerk reactions before they can get to a place where they're both on the same page.

Aliens, humans, and a little danger and intrigue. Good stuff.
