Synopsis (Goodreads):
When an experimental starship test goes horribly wrong, a scientist from Earth finds herself fighting for her survival, and her only lifeline is a wild, powerful alien king.Thoughts on Emperor: I am HERE for shapeshifting alien kings, my friends. HERE. Also, that cover. My heart eyes are strong. So strong.
Waking on an alien world, wracked by pain, Dr. Poppy Ellison is confused and adrift…until his voice calls to her in the darkness. The big, wild, enthralling man reveals that she’s been infected and is turning into an alien shapeshifter. Poppy has always been smart, practical, and boring, but with her entire life turned upside down, there is no one she can trust…except for this alien wolf.
Emperor Brodin Damar Sarkany is king of Damar and its shapeshifters. As wild as the forest city they call home, the Damari can be volatile, always fighting to control the wolf inside. Brodin uses his immense strength to keep his people in check and protect them from the most dangerous evil of all—his war-mongering father. He can’t afford the distraction of a small, tantalizing woman from Earth, even when everything about Poppy sings to the instincts of both man and wolf.
As his father’s ruthless warlord attacks, innocent children are at risk, and Poppy knows she has to help by mastering her new, emerging abilities. She must also face the shocking passion that explodes between her and Brodin. But as Poppy and Brodin hunt down the enemy, they uncover a plot that could mean the destruction of all the Damari…if they don’t stop it in time.
So. Hunky shapeshifting alien Brodin and wicked smart human Poppy. He takes her to his planet to help ease her through her transition after she's held captive by the bad guys and experimented on. She's...well, she's crash-landed on an alien planet, been abducted and experimented on, and then rescued, and she's holding it together pretty well, all things considered.
It doesn't hurt that Brodin's sexy and wild and she kiiiiiinda likes that. It also doesn't hurt that she's developing abilities that are coming in very handy in the fight against Brodin's father. (Although, just to be confusing, Papa Sarkany isn't nearly the monster you'd think he'd be, all things considered.) Huh. Maybe I should say the fight against Brodin's father's warlord, instead.
Anywho. A nasty warlord with an affinity for poisons, an ability that's been lost for ages, a lot of steamy looks and even more steamy kisses, and a human woman finding her way on an alien world. Good stuff all around!
