Release Day & ARC Review: "Taken to Kor" (Xiveri Mates #5) by Elizabeth Stephens


Taken to Kor by Elizabeth Stephens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary from GoodReads

Deena
Rhork. He's a space pirate. The bad kind. But he's also been my only source of company for the past rotation that I've been held captive.

Halfway across the galaxy, I'm happy to have finally escaped and found more humans...well, I was.

But now, I'm not so sure that people are so much better than pirates. And I'm very sure that I'll need Rhork's help to get out of this. But Rhork thinks I'm a defective female because of my twisted leg. What if he's not willing to give it?

Rhork
Communicating with the human female for almost a rotation was, in retrospect, a poor choice. Now, she seems to be the ever-present voice in my head, distracting me, making me want things I shouldn't.

To make her a pirate.

To show her the universe.

And most of all, to keep her for myself.

REVIEW

I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

This series still continues to amaze me. I loved that every new couple is not just that. It's a whole new world with its own mysteries, adventures, and rules, of aliens of all shapes and sizes and of course of romance and the way to overcome trauma and find acceptance in a family of your own making.

That is what Deena does; despite her captivity, she learns how to fight, she braves to help her friends, and in the process Rhork, the space pirate we had first met in the first book, he also realizes that there are more ways to save his people than outdated practices.

The fact that more humans were introduced and also the hopes this filled with the intergalactic alliance against a common enemy drove this book to heights. I loved Elizabeth's descriptions of the planets, of the systems they had, and how different and imaginative the alien species she included looked like.

Overall this is a great sequel to the series and I seriously want more!
