I loved this book and thought it did a great job of introducing the Dakonian world as well as laying the groundwork for the series. I have already read the fourth book in the series as well as the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series so I was familiar with some things but loved backtracking to get a fuller history of where the series began and getting to know Starr and Torg in this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book and reading about Torg's brother finding his mate as well as getting to know him better since seemed likable based on what we got to see of him in this book.
Falsely convicted. Exiled. Claimed by an alien barbarian.
After she’s falsely convicted of murder, Starr Elizabeth Conner is packed on a spaceship with other female felons and exiled to Dakon, a faraway frozen planet. To make a bad situation worse, she’s supposed to become an alien’s “mail-order bride.” By the luck of the draw, she’s matched to Torg, the super tall, handsome tribe chief. She doesn’t look like the other females who are dark, beautiful, and exotic, and she can tell her new mate is disappointed to receive a pale, curvy blonde.
Females are in short supply on Torg’s planet. But with the latest shipment from Earth, he’s hopeful he’ll receive a sturdy mate who can bear him many daughters. He does get a mate, but the pale-haired, tiny Starr looks at him with anger and fear in her eyes.
Just as Starr warms to Torg, and he starts to believe things may work out between them, rumors swirl that she is guilty of a crime.
The penalty for breaking the law is banishment to the wilderness. As tribe chief, Torg must enforce Dakonian law. Will he forced to send his mate away?
