Book excerpt: Enjoy this steamy science fiction romance series novel by best-selling author Charmaine Ross… The last thing Lexi remembers is a bright light flashing before her eyes before she’s thrown into a cell with an enormous blue-skinned alien with black horns, a bladed tail, mountains of muscles and told to breed. Rase can’t believe his fated mate is in his arms. He also can’t believe he crash laded on the last planet he’d ever want to be on - that of the crime lord that wants himself and his brothers dead. He also won’t bring himself to do the one thing that burns his blood to do and make love to his fated human female. Life doesn’t last long here and he won’t die and leave his mate possibly pregnant, helpless, alone and subject to the whims of the crime lord. Life hasn’t been fantastic for Lexi, but being trapped in a cell with no privacy is the pits. Add to that a strange pull of attraction that’s harder and harder to deny with an alien who tells her he is her fated mate and she’s downright screwed. Figuratively and literally. Survival is doubtful, but Rase must act. He must escape the breeding cell, survive the fighting pits, save his exotic mate and end the reign of the biggest crime lord the ten Quadrant has ever known. Rescued by the Alien Space Pirate is the third novel in the Rasidian series. Although each novel is dedicated to its own couple, it’s best to read this series in order. For fans of Ella Blake, Ava Ross and Lee Savino, this is a HOT romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. It includes some strong language, alien alpha males and oh my, steamy sexy times. Enjoy!
