Kayleb: Alien Romance

Kayleb is book 6 in this series, and though it would definitely be more enjoyable overall to be read in order, it can be read in any order. I actually read book 5, Krayter, first. Seeing as the two are so closely entwined, I'd say they are the worst to read out of order. So read Krayter first. ;) Kaleb is much more serious than his little brother Krayter, and his book reflects that. Though he has a serious personality and is much less 'personable' than his younger brother, we still get to see the playfulness that is apparently a family trait. I really like Kaleb's overall character as he felt very fleshed out and balanced. Tessa was an interesting mix of knowledgeable, spunky, and impulsive. I liked her too, honestly. When I say spunky, I don't mean perky and bubbly, just so we're clear. The story is an interesting addition to the series in that Kayleb has found and bonded with his mate prior to his book beginning. The catch being, due to a massive head injury that almost killed him in the time just before he and Krayter arrive on earth, he doesn't remember an entire week or his mate or being bonded. Obviously, this lends to a whole slew of problems all on it's own both with his mate and his life (he doesn't die at 30, which is a major shock to all involved). Roll in Tessa's boatload of problems and you've got a book full of action, redemption, muddled memories, steamy romance, and a smattering of appearances from previous acquaintances. I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the series, I have to say. Lighter than Cyborg, but darker than Krayter, so a nice balance. If you like alien romance with action adventure, this is totally a read for you. I look forward to more books from Mrs. Rudolph.

Kayleb and Tessa aren't my fave mated couple in this series but I still really enjoyed it. These Detyens make many other alien species feel a bit lacking :) Kayleb is the first amnesiac Detyen we've met and it def. puts a twist on everything as he tries to figure it out. The writing is great and it is worth remembering that though part of a series they can be read alone, albiet there is more enjoyment and understanding if you start with book one.

Kaleb failed his mission to find his mate before he dies at age 30 and has resigned himself to dying but when he wakes up the next day he knows something is not right. He meets his mate Tessa and he needs to figure out why she is so upset with him. The story line was interesting and had action, kidnappings, pirates, amnesia and amazing chemistry between Tessa and Kayleb. I did find the story line was a bit choppy with some unanswered questions but it was still a good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
