Alien Wanted by Julie K Cohen

3 Star

 Emily's been returned by her assigned mates. Her 2nd mate doesn't show up to pick her up and she's given the option of going to the brothel or being sold to a 3rd man who doesn't want her. She begs the 3rd man to take her to prevent her from going to the brothel. Markov doesn’t want or need a wife.  He takes her anyways to prevent her from doing something she doesn't want to do. They find a way to work together and find love?

Emily was another strong FMC and I loved her for it. She rolls with the punches and tries to get ahead when the deck is stacked against her. She ends up with grumpy Makov who I also loved. He screws up major, but he does make up for it. I think these two are my favorite couple in this series.

I liked Ivy. She's screwed over by her family but doesn't let that keep her down. Quinnov is a sweet alien who is just trying to survive the destruction of his home world and the deaths of everyone he loves but agrees to help Ivy and even walk away from her even though they are fated mates. It just was a super cute story.
