Viken Command

I have never been disappointed in an Interstellar Brides book. Even though the Atlans are my favorites among the different alien species in this series and the Vikens my least favorites, every single book is at least a good read with most being great. Even though this book is set on Viken, these three warriors are part of the Coalition's I.C. and once their mission is through, they will return to their post with the Zeus Battlegroup (so, it has nothing to do with the politics on Viken and the troubling VSS). And because it has nothing to do with the war against the Hive, it is truly a standalone. This book seems shorter than previous books and Whitney gets the most characterization. Alaar, Oran, and Teig are given physical descriptions and a little bit of personality traits to help distinguish them from each other. There are some hot scenes as Whitney's mates try and keep her occupied and out of harm's way. It is a fairly quick read (it only took me about 2 hours) with a small twist towards the end. While this story has a happy ending for Whitney and her Vikens, my heart was hurting for Kayson and his friends (read the book - that's all I'll say) and I honestly felt that Kayson and crew were more intriguing and compassionate than other characters in the story (all fingers crossed that Kayson and his friends are the next to hit the Interstellar lottery). Overall, another good book, just not one of my favorites, as I prefer Hive action or Colony heartaches or just a big freakin' Atlan!

Another great addition to my all time favorite series.Glade to see a return to Viken alpha males and a strong yet still femine lead. Lots going on in this book, kept you on the edge of your seat. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this new "Interstellar Brides" story! It's a fairly quick steamy read with strong characters. Alarr, Oran and Teig are on a secret mission and a bride is a perfect cover. Whitney wants to escape everything that has happened on earth. The Interstellar Bride program seems fitting for all parties. This is a nicely developed story and intriguing read.
