Ensnared by the Alien Medic - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

Ensnared by the Alien Medic
by Nessa Claugh 

What is it about:
Lissa Jones is a runaway human—not that her husbands would admit it if you asked them.

Married to two alien men from Lukrim to get off a polluted, dying Earth, Lissa found herself isolated in a culture she didn’t understand. Meeting someone through a bridal program had never been her plan, but she was dealing with it. And then her life came crashing down. Lukrim had hidden the existence of humans from the rest of the galaxy and Earth needed active assistance, not guardians who just wanted access to human women. Her marriage? A lie. Her husbands? Unwilling to let her go.

Voshan found himself ripped from his normal job as a surgeon on a planetary disaster relief ship to serve on a hospital ship. A war to free Earth loomed and there would undoubtedly be casualties. It wasn't something he had ever anticipated, but he wants to free the humans as badly as anyone else.

After the two unexpectedly meet, Lissa's backwater planet heritage becomes valuable in the operating rooms of the war. Lissa’s attention is on the operating table and Voshan, and he can't keep his mind or his sul-tentacles away from her. The only thing standing between them? Her husbands are coming and they want her back.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
I got offered a review copy of this book, and when I read the word tentacles in the above blurb I just couldn't resist. 

This is such a delightful read.

I liked Lissa from the start. I could understand why she signed up to a bridal program that made her end up with two alien husbands she's not too happy about. When it tuns out Earth was lied to about the bridal program and the Galactic situation in large Lissa flees from her husbands and ends up on a hospital ship where she meets Voshan.

And Voshan is delicious! He's kind, thoughtful, and has tentacles galore!

I loved seeing the two get to know each other and fall for each other. But Lissa's husbands don't just let her get away, especially one of them is possessive, and angry she escaped. I was eager to see how things would turn out. 

Next to a sweet romance between Lissa and Voshan there's action, danger, and steamy tentacle action. You bet I had a great time with this book.

All in all this has everything I want from an alien romance. I picked it up for the tentacles, but kept reading for the entertaining and delightful story. I think I'll investigate what other books Claugh has written.

Why should you read it:
It's got tentacles! It's a delightful Alien Romance
