Synopsis (Goodreads):
After two years of alien captivity, Evie is free, but her captors have changed her. Now struggling to control a terrifying new power, her only hope is one formidable, dangerous alien king.

Logistics manager Evie Mason is no longer a prisoner on an alien space station, but she’s far from Earth, suffering nightmares, and fighting to ignore the growing power inside her. She just wants to be normal, but when she comes face to face with the intoxicating ruler of the planet Taln, normal isn’t an option. He speaks to the power inside her, and ignites a fierce desire she’s never felt before.

Conqueror Graylan Taln Sarkany is the king of Taln and its people, who can control the geological forces of their planet. He’s dedicated to protecting Talnians from his evil father and uses his immense power to command the rocks, soil, and earthquakes. But Gray must always keep a part of his power leashed. The part that’s too volatile, too enormous, too dangerous. Then one small, tough woman from Earth threatens all his control.

As a final, violent showdown with Graylan’s father draws closer, Gray and Evie are swept into a whirlwind of power and passion, their powers connecting them in ways neither of them understand. With Gray’s brothers, their mates, and allies by their side, they will fight, and Gray will unleash everything he has to protect his planet, his people, and Evie.
Thoughts on Conqueror: It's Graylan's turn to fall (and fall hard) for a human woman while protecting his planet and people from his father's nefarious plans. As the final book in the series, we get answers and resolutions and CLOSURE, my friends. FABULOUS.

But first, Graylan and Evie. He's the powerful ruler of Taln, she's a former captive of Graylan's father who has been experimented on and used to fuel Zavir's other terrible projects. He's 100% convinced he can never allow himself to love. She's trying to find her balance after the awful things done to her.

Look, I'm not here to spoil anything, but Graylan does, in fact, find himself catching feelings for the fierce human woman. He likes her. A lot. And he has to come to terms with that and admit they have the start of something epic before they can move forward with anything. And, yeah, maybe a little life and death situation helps spur things into motion. Because when the potential that you could lose the person you caught feelings for is staring you in the face, a person figures out what's important.

As for Evie, she's got a lot on her plate. A ability she never asked for and doesn't want (at first), the reality that she's likely never going home again, and a big, brooding hunk of a conqueror who's taking up a lot of real estate in her head and heart. Fortunately, both she and Graylan have friends and family they can lean on when things get tough.

A lot of danger, plenty of steam, answer to questions, and a very satisfying conclusion (for everyone, if you know what I mean!). *thumbs up*
