Synopsis (Goodreads):
Can an alien commander allow himself to choose love over duty?

Jessica’s orderly life changed forever when she became the guardian of her orphaned niece and nephew. She is still trying to learn how to be a parent when they are taken by aliens.

After a desperate attempt to escape their captors ends on a deserted planet, she faces an entirely new set of challenges. The appearance of a massive alien warrior and his crew offers a chance of rescue, but she also finds herself irresistibly drawn to the stern male with the kind eyes.

After the plague that devastated his race eliminated his hopes for a family, Commander Vadrar dedicated his life to preserving order in the Confederated Planets. When the pursuit of an enemy goes disastrously wrong, he is shocked to discover a small group of precious females and children fighting for survival.

As they work together to find a way off the uncharted planet, he grows increasingly captivated by the alluring human and her enchanting children. His duty compels him to return them to Earth, but his heart tells him that Jessica and her children belong with him. Can he ignore a lifetime of responsibility and ask them to stay?
Thoughts on A Treasure for the Alien Warrior: (I feel like I say this with every book in this series, but...) MAN, do I like these resigned alien warriors as they're given a chance to find a little happiness. Vadrar is...well, he's honorable and lonely (despite having a crew with him) and he doesn't see any end in sight to that loneliness.

Which KILLS me. So hard.

That said, when Vadrar crosses paths with Jessica and her charges (plus the two other women who were taken from Earth with her), he doesn't trust the hope he starts to feel around her. After all, only a Cire female can be a mate to a Cire male. Or so he thinks.

While Vadrar is trying his hardest not to get his hopes up, Jessica is trying to be a parental figure to her orphaned niece and nephew, which isn't a role that comes naturally to her. Throw in the two other women she's trying to be strong for and a slew of fast-moving feeeeeeelings she's developing for Vadrar and the lady is a little confused. Wait. She's not confused-confused. She's just conflicted about how something that feels so right can happen so fast.

A dangerous planet, a situation that's put everyone at risk, a few lingering looks, a lesson in kissing, and a ready-made family. *thumbs up*
