BLURB:
Evangeline
Scott was hoping for a fun night on the town after a hellish day. What she
couldn’t have imagined was getting kidnapped by alien slavers and then left to
die on an abandoned ship.
Kai Dallen and Roan Quinn were having some bad luck of their own when they found themselves set up by an old adversary and trapped in the vault of a Dhuaation Pharaoh's ship with no way out. When Khaman-Ra makes them an offer they can’t refuse, the two space pirates end up rescuing a ship full of human female cargo. All three males are immediately drawn to one of the beauties and make an agreement to satisfy everyone’s desires. The only problem is, they didn’t think to ask Eve and when she wakes up to find that she’s now married to three aliens she’s mad as hell. By the time all four of them realise their true feelings, will it be too late, as a woman from Roan’s past threatens to ruin it all?

EXCERPT:
The
door swished open as they stepped up to it, and her breath immediately caught
as she saw the golden sculpted pharaoh sitting with his bare chest behind the
desk while both Kai and Roan sat in chairs on the other side dressed in black
leather breeches and vests. Obviously the temperature of the ship was kept on
the warm side to accommodate the Dhuaatian fashion sense, but Roan and Kai must
have been used to the heat to be able to wear leather. They looked so dangerous
and sexy compared to Khaman’s golden ethereal presence, and God, why did they
have to smell so good? When the door opened and she got a rush of warm
sandalwood and male musk she began to ache and immediately all she wanted to do
was go over and rub herself all over them. Which of course was exactly the kind
of slutty alter-ego thought she needed to give her head a shake and put her
plan into the works, so she purposely looked each of the now smugly smiling men
up and down before she turned back to Mhat-Am and said, “You were right, Matty,
this place is much nicer than mine. I’ll totally move in, but where are these
guys going to stay?” she said with a thumb pointed toward the men.
It
was like watching a slow-motion playback when their smug attitude and smiles at
her hormone-struck entrance slowly turned down until all three of the huge men
were scowling at her, then in turn they looked toward Mhat-Am like they would
string him up. It was all she could do not to laugh out loud. Plan “make these
gorgeous bastards squirm” was officially off to a tremendous start. She casually
walked out back to the main sitting room, running her fingers over the
expensive furniture, pretending not to listen when the pharaoh was the first to
express his displeasure.
“Mhat-Am!
What is the meaning of this?” he asked in a steel tone, which said he was
furious, but he didn’t want Eve to overhear. “You were supposed to explain the
situation to Evangeline and then bring her to us to begin the bonding process.”
Poor
Mhat-Am looked like he was going to be sick. He kept looking back from Khaman and
the two angry Sirotians, to Eve, and then back again like he didn’t know which
situation was more dangerous. When he visibly started to sweat and stutter Eve
realized that she’d been kind of an asshole to throw him under the bus like
that, so she stepped back up to the office. Damn conscience, it just had to
ruin all her fun.
“Mhat-Am,
I think you can go now. I’ll discuss this with my husbands in private and
settle things. Will you be back tomorrow so we can begin my lessons?” she asked
with a deceptively sweet tone while still keeping eye contact with the three
seething males in front of her.
“Yes,
my lady. Pharaoh?” he asked quietly, seeking permission to leave the room as
quickly as possible.
“Go,”
was all Khaman said between clenched teeth as he watched the older man sigh in
relief and scurry out the door leaving them with their new bride.
“So,
fellas, how was the wedding? Did my new in-laws spring for the good appies?
Anyone on my side get drunk and pass out in the chocolate fountain?” Eve asked
as she placed her hands on her hips and expressed her displeasure; a look of
surprise on all three men’s faces as they suddenly realized why she was so mad
was priceless. Sure it made them even cuter, but Eve was determined to punish
them for at least a month before she gave in. As her traitorous eyes took a
slight detour down her pharaoh’s golden abs, she did a quick recalculation and
decided that two weeks was probably more appropriate. Yes, definitely two
weeks…

My review:
4.25 out of 5 stars
Eve's Rescue by Sarah Marsh is an erotic ménage science
fiction story that is part of the ‘Coalition Mates’ series. This tale centers around Evangline (Eve)
Scott, who wakes up after having been kidnapped and discovers that not only is
she surrounded by amazingly sexy aliens but she has been mated to three of
them, supposedly for her own protection.
Despite the strong alpha vibe and highhanded actions of Nomac Pharoah
Khaman-Ra (Kham) and his heads of security and personal bodyguards, Sirotians
Kai and Roan, Eve must find a way to convince these males in her life that she
isn’t a pushover. Hmm…how does one fight
against a pair of males whose culture traditionally dictates that they be
courtesans, especially with their powerful pheromones? Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and Eve
definitely has the will, or does she?
This delightfully entertaining story provides a creative
twist on the sensationalist tabloid tales of being captured by aliens for
nefarious purposes. The horrific
circumstances of Eve’s introduction to life on a space vessel is quickly
overshadowed by the sensual overload and the imaginative explanation for
certain mysteries that have plagued Earth scholars for centuries. There is a wonderful mix of tongue-in-cheek
humor and intensely spicy interludes and one is hardpressed to feel too sorry
for this woman who has three very sexy males determined to woo her. This is the first story in this series that I
have read and there is no problem reading it as a stand-alone, but wow, given
the events in this story and the glimpses of some of the characters who
evidently have had their own adventures, I am anxious to read the rest in the
series. A fun, sexy, imaginative quick
read that will undoubtedly require that one have a cold drink and/or a hot
partner nearby!
