Blurb:
We are not alone. In the year 2050 mankind’s never-ending quest for proof life exists in the universe is answered—in the form of massive space ships that appear without warning above the capitals of all major nations. The name of their planet is Tah’Nar—and is dying. The United States sets up a lottery system, and each young man between the ages of twenty-three and twenty-eight is assigned a number. Once a year, for the next five years, numbers will be drawn and a new set of one thousand males will be collected. The media coined the expression ‘The Harvest’ for when the Tah’Narian’s collect these young men.
Captain Keyno Landium Shou is a Tah’Narian starship captain who has been granted the right to take a mate, any mate, he wants during the last harvest on Earth. Dale was seventeen when the aliens first appeared. His parents assumed he’d be safe since the final collection would be done before he turned twenty-three. He didn’t fall within the guidelines established, so they took for granted he had nothing to fear.
They were wrong.
Review:
I loved this book. Straight up, absolutely loved it. Told entirely from Dale’s point of view, the emotions he felt throughout the story were so real. From when he was taken, to handling with all of the changes he deals with, they were so well described. I enjoyed watching Keyno and Dale dance around each other at first, then slowly fall in love as Dale accepts his new life. The side characters add a wonderful depth to the story. I liked seeing Colt find what he needed with Ti. However that scene may not be for everyone. There’s a single scene towards the end that has some S&M and fisting. If that’s not your thing, skip those pages. The book is worth reading even if you aren’t a fan of that part. I cannot wait to read the next book and see what happens with everyone next.

About M.A.:
M.A. Church is a true Southern belle who spent many years in the elementary education sector. Now she spends her days lost in fantasy worlds, arguing with hardheaded aliens on far-off planets, herding her numerous shifters, or trying to tempt her country boys away from their fishing poles. It’s a full time job, but hey, someone’s gotta do it!
When not writing, she’s exploring the latest M/M novel to hit the market, watching her beloved Steelers, or sitting glued to HGTV. That’s if she’s not on the back porch tending to the demanding wildlife around the pond in the backyard. The ducks are very outspoken. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and they have two children.
She was a finalist in the Rainbow awards for 2013.
