Synopsis (Goodreads):
When an experimental starship test goes horribly wrong, a test pilot from Earth is flung across the galaxy and crash lands on the planet of a powerful alien king.Thoughts on Overlord: We're back in the Galactic world and yesssssss. I'm here for it!
Pilot Mallory West is having a really bad day. She’s crashed on an alien planet, her ship is in pieces, and her best friend Poppy, the scientist monitoring the experiment, is missing. Dazed and injured, she collapses into the arms of a big, silver-eyed warrior king. But when her rescuer cuffs her to a bed and accuses her of being a spy, Mal knows she has to escape her darkly tempting captor and find her friend.
Overlord Rhain Zhalto Sarkany is in a battle to protect his planet Zhalto and his people from his evil, power-hungry father. He’ll use every one of his deadly Zhalton abilities to win the fight against his father’s lethal warlord and army of vicious creatures. Rhain suspects the tough, intriguing woman he pulls from a starship wreck is a trap, but when Mal escapes, he is compelled to track her down.
Fighting their overwhelming attraction, Mal and Rhain join forces to hunt down the warlord and find Poppy. But as Mal’s body reacts to Zhalto’s environment, it awakens dormant powers, and Rhain is the only one who can help her. As the warlord launches a brutal attack, it will take all of Mal and Rhain’s combined powers to save their friends, the planet, and themselves.
This time around, we have Mal and Rhain. She's a human flung to a distant planet (so distant) thanks to a malfunction in an experimental craft she's piloting. The good news? The planet she ends up on is ruled by a hunk and a half who likes what he sees when he looks at her. The bad news? Rhain thinks she might be in cahoots with his father and he's leery of trusting her no matter how much she revs his engine.
The even worse news? Poppy, the scientist and Mal's BFF who was with her on the test flight, has likely fallen into the hands of Rhain's enemies. Frankly, Mal's not okay with that and she's determined to help her friend no matter the cost.
On the other end of things, Rhain is fighting a battle against his father that he can't lose. Because losing means failing his people. He doesn't want to think Mal is a spy for his father, but he also can't take the chance she is. A few verbal sparring matches, a desperate escape attempt, and Mal going toe-to-toe with his father's creatures to protect him gets them all on the same page. And once they're on that page SPARKS FLY! (not literally, despite Mal's newfound abilities and the heat Rhain and Mal generate when they're together.)
A distant world, a whole lot of heat, a determined human, and an overlord who just might have met his match. Good stuff all around!
