Synopsis (Goodreads):
A grumpy, secretive alien. A sweet, not-as-naive-as-she-seems human. A nefarious plot.

Although Mary has never had an easy life, she has always tried her best to maintain an optimistic outlook. But when she is abducted by aliens, it is difficult to find anything positive in the experience.

When she is temporarily abandoned by her kidnappers, she hopes to escape their clutches forever. Instead, she soon finds herself in even more trouble. Her only hope is a huge bull-like alien who should terrify her. Instead, her heart says to trust him.

Sendat has been working as an undercover agent for far too long. Although he believes in his mission, he fears he is becoming as heartless as those he seeks to bring to justice. And then he encounters a small, curvy female who awakens long-hidden feelings.

In order to protect her, he is forced to play a role he despises - and yet, she does not pull away from him. On the run and not sure who to trust, all Sendat knows is that he has to protect Mary. But even if he succeeds, will he have any choice except to give her up?
Thoughts on Mary and the Minotaur: It's Mary's turn to find her special someone and he's...well, Sendat doesn't seem like such an upstanding guy on the surface. It turns out, though, that he's a real marshmallow when it comes to Mary. He's sweet, strong, and willing to go whatever he needs to do to keep his human safe.

Playing the part of a heartless slaver, however, means Sendat's not able to show all that sweetness at first. Not that his gruffness stops Mary from trusting him. She feels safe with Sendat from the moment she lays eyes on him and she runs with that.

And when things go sideways, she goes on the run WITH him. Which works nicely because Sendat isn't about to leave his sweet, soft ladyfriend on her own.

More than a few questionable characters, a little case of betrayal, a few steamy encounters before our couple seals the deal, and an intriguing cleaner who's getting his own story. These aliens, man. Love 'em!
