Robin O'Connor (2)

This book was my first book by Robin O'Connor & it was a really good introduction to the world that the Serpents of Serant Series takes place in and I loved getting to know all the characters. Vera and Zathar made a great couple and I was glad to see them end up so happy together and how everything turned out for them. This book also has a preview for the next book in the series The Naga Brute's Warrior Mate about Zathar's friend Iave and his human mate Kalani that looks like it will be a really good read as well and I look forward to reading it as well as other books in this series in the future.… (mehr)

After being shipped out to be sold into slavery Vera ends up crash landed on the planet Serant and into the arms of her fated mate Zathar a naga (snake man) outcast of the Thunder Rock Clan. I really overall enjoyed this one! It is a insta-lust/love novel, but I think that can work, and in this case did . I liked the world building and the mystery element woven into the book regarding the Naga's decent from space traveling race to tech-less. The only thing that I personally felt was that the book was a little rushed and needed to be flushed out. I appreciated the growth of Vera and her eventual acceptance of being wanted after a lifetime of not ever being wanted on Earth/the moon. And I liked Zathar's struggle over wanting to be back in the clan but also knowing there wasn't a place for him there anymore. But I will say that all of those things were just breezed by without much conflict or true struggle to make way for all the "steamy" scenes between the main characters. And while I know I am probably in the minority in saying this, but I wish we could have had just a bit more plot and development and a little less of the main characters trying to jump each other at the weirdest of times.
Takeaway is that it is a fun romp with a lot of steam and if that is what you are looking for then you will love this book. The downside is that it is a little light on plot which is a shame because there is some really good mystery and potential conflict built in that just needs more exporation.… (mehr)
