I would like to thank CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform and Netgalley for this partnership.

I was immediately attracted to the cover of this book, where you see a mother holding her child in her arms.

Audra has a violent lover, he wants custody of the child, she will do everything to escape through the cities forbidden to foreigners. She's not going to be safe for that, so she's going to ask Tal to help them.

I immediately hooked on the story so moving, captivating, engaging, addictive, full of suspense and twists and turns. I found the character of Audra very endearing, we want her life to improve but only for the good. Looking forward to discovering the entire series.

Overall an interesting story concept. Good writing. I liked the sci-fi elements in the book. Thanks!

A first I liked this book and found its easy to get into I wanted Audra and her baby to get away from Tom and find happiness. But I just got bored with its and found its hard to finish and its took me a while to finish its.
I received this book from net gallery in exchange for a honest review.

Fun, sexy and hot!! This was a great book with plenty of romance and likable characters that had you rooting for them to get a happily ever after!

Didn't realize at first that this was part of a series - but then I remembered reading one of the earlier books. I like this series and this book didn't disappoint. Liked the characters and plot - looking for more.

Audra Verhailey has to get away where no one can find her. Set in the world where another Vancouver Island comes into our world this adds to the world building and backstory that Hoornaert has created. I loved how Audra kept her focus on saving her daughter even when she meets and travels with Tal Pelletier. Tal has faced loss and let it consume his life. Meeting Audra changes that. A fun romp filled with interesting characters and with more than one romance.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

I want to begin this book review diving right into the complaints because there are a few of them that popped up! I hate the cover and title. The reason for the hate is unclear and hard to pinpoint. Logic says it is nicely done but just as an opinion, am not a fan. I just do not like them at all.

The one thing I disliked other than the cover and title is the weird quirk the author has at the end of the chapter. He places photos of something that is supposed to resemble objects and scenery of this alien culture. It was just tacky! I felt jolted out of the story each time with those. They didn’t match the images flying around in my head, I would have rather have them left out.

They are useless and pointless.

They feel all wrong for the vibe of the book and don’t do the novel justice. Hoornaert’s book was fascinating and well done but none of this is reflected in the title, cover, or images display for the work, which was a very enthralling read that kept me hooked.

If it had not been for the synopsis, I probably would have never requested the book for review on NetGalley at all. This book would never have found a home on my kindle; however, I am very pleased that it did.

There are no regrets for the time spent reading this.

Alien Contact For Runaway Moms’ back story and the world truly sucked me in. The scene is refreshing and such a novel idea. The uniqueness and creativeness the author used to place the us where we needed to be is beyond impeccable.

The world premise is based on an alien world that was depleting and losing resources. These “Aliens” are human-like and use their superior science to world hop, leading them to modern earth on an island located on the Pacific Ocean. If I am remembering correctly. Now from my understanding, the world has accumulated and this alien island is treated as its own country filled with a king and nobility.

Readers find themselves following multiple points of view as young Audra and her daughter Roxie try to enter the secret underground hideaway, along the way the two meet Tal. He is an alien and is described as resembling someone with strong Native American ancestry in their genes. Audra is terrified of him but finds herself strangely attracted to the troubled man as they face each face their own demons. It is quite captivating and I love the characters immensely including Duchess Opsie.

Audra’s uncle is also a very nice character to have read and loved that side of the story because it really did provide readers with a more rounded view of all that is going on. The dynamic between Matt, Audra’s uncle, and the Duchess are rather cute and endearing. Honestly, I liked them as a couple more than I did Audra and Tal. They are just perfect for each other. The heartstrings were being pulled vigorously reading the fear and insecurity of the two. I am a huge sucker for this kind of romance!

The characters are just so real. The four are chalk full of messy emotions and flaws. They have past that is vivid and real. Consequences that have shaped their future. Something so tangible and easy to relate with. I loved it!

This book ranks a very high 3 out of 5 for me.!
