Aliens come to earth to locate their mate that their scientist have somehow identified through genetic testing. She's on the run from rich powerful bad guy. There are a lot of gaps in this story, explanations not fully detailed. I think I would have enjoyed this story much more fleshed out. In saying that, we have two hunky, hot guys wanting to protect and see to her pleasure in bed. After getting her to accept their claim the show her who they really are, men with wings woot!

Again, if there is going to be dominance games, or spanking - both of which are part of this story, it should be listed. A serious turn off. Sadly, the dom and spanking really ruined what otherwise would be a great story.

This is the first book in the Fallon Mates series. This is a fun book that has a well-balanced mixture of smoking hot sex, suspense and the fun that can only be had in places like Las Vegas. Ms. Strong has done a nice job of world building in this first book. I will warn all those that don’t like menages that all the books in this series are just that. Finally there is some violence in this story that leads to the villain and his minions being killed.

Krista is on the run from a former boyfriend after witnessing him killing an undercover policeman. She wants to do the right thing but is tired of running and trying to stay ahead of Alexi and his goons. Krista is a mathematician and as such a good gambler. She uses her gambling skills to get enough money to keep running. Krista is tough and resourceful. She doesn’t let her fear keep her from finding ways to escape once she is captured. Krista is also very open-minded and creative. I am sure she was a wonderful math teacher. I liked Krista very much and I hope that we will get to see more of her in future books.

Adan Amato and Lyan D’Vesti are bounty hunters and law keepers on their planet. They never thought they would be matched with a mate on Earth. The bio-gene weapon that left their planet sterile has given the population to find other solutions so their races don’t die out. The Fallon, an ancient ancestor of the Vesti and the Amato, came to earth in the past and had children with the people of Earth. Those children are now the only hope for the two races. Adan is the one that follows the rules and as such has stayed in the good graces of the Council. Lyan does what he wants and as such stays in trouble with the Council most of the time. These two are yin and yang to each other but they are also close friends. They work together to find and protect their mate and in doing so fall in love with her.

I was intrigued with the concept of winged individuals that would represent angels and demons in out mythology. I am also very happy that this pair of hot male aliens can be very dominant. They show Krista how to trust to trust them in some very interesting ways. So be warned that there is some bondage and a spanking in this story and boy are those scenes hot.

The villain in this piece is a leader of the mob. He is also an abusive, delusional stalker that needs some serious help or maybe him dying was really the best solution to the problem. Hopefully with him dead his family won’t try to take things farther.

This is a quick enjoyable read that will leave you looking for a ice cold glass of tea and an air conditioner. I love this series and hope that Ms. Strong will write more soon. ( )
