A Sci-Fi Romance SHORT STORY. Warning: For adult readers only.
Review
Sally Smith is on a mission to collect weredragon DNA, so she signs up to be a mail-order bride to the alien shape-shifters that have come to Earth, now a starving, almost desolate planet. Once on the aliens’ ship bound for their home planet, she meets the ship’s captain, Zavir, and the attraction between them is instant.
Zavir’s people need human women to procreate and continue their species, so they’ve made an arrangement with the Earth’s governments for willing human women. Zavir is nothing but kind to Sally, but her secrets could ruin their relationship before it ever really gets started.
The H and h are likeable characters. Sally is strong-willed, Zavir is confident, and they make for a good couple.
I really liked this short story but wished it would’ve been longer. It’s told in third person, only from Sally’s POV. Though it ended abruptly and on a cliffhanger, there’s definitely a HEA in sight.
