About The Book: One man has the unique gift of being able to read photographs, and he uses his skill to provide mates for men who pay well for the privilege. Gondar Lem is such a man. Selected to guard a secret that could destroy worlds, he secludes himself on a far away outpost in the middle of nowhere. For nine years he’s lived alone but hopes for the day the matchmaker will find him a special woman.


Sierra Madison poses nude to help raise funds that will pay for her brother’s surgery. Little does she realize what that photograph will cost her. Kidnapped by an alien who claims she was chosen for his mate, she’s whisked away to exotic planets on an adventure that brings her more pleasure than she ever dreamed possible.

The Review: Sierra and her best friend, Candy, are abducted by aliens who treat them little better than property. Luckily, neither of the young women have family ties to earth so they might as well enjoy the intergalactic ride.

Gondar, a man of few words but lots of angst, is determined that Sierra marry him—so much so that he slaps a bonding bracelet on her wrist that not only prevents her from escaping but also makes her more receptive to his advances.

At their first stop over, an alien matchmaker offers up Candy as a bride to a bartender with a knobby, vibrating head. She bulks at the idea at first but quickly jumps into bed with her new husband, leaving Sierra alone with Gondar who makes short work of seducing her with the help of his extra alien “appendage that aids sexual stimulation.”

Although I felt rushed by the author and wish that I was allowed to see more details of the alien worlds, their inhabitants and cultures, Sierra and Candy are likable and fun, and the love scenes are imaginative and unique.
