Though still carrying the scars of his past as an intergalactic soldier, Emvor doesn’t mind the quiet of his chosen life as a farmer. He doesn’t even mind that most nights are lonely on remote Cassa, but he does need help around his farm. A mail-order bride from his homeworld seems like the perfect solution. She’ll be a tall, sturdy female to help with the chores and bear his children.Unfortunately, the person that arrives is Nicola. She’s small, delicate… and human. She also knows nothing about farming, and she's lied and deceived her way across the galaxy to get to Cassa so she can hide from those that would capture her. She's a problem, and also the most enticing thing he's ever seen.Now Emvor has to decide… can he keep the woman who’s nothing like what he asked for but is everything he needs?
This was a cute and sweet fast read that none the less felt me feeling happy and satisfied with all that happened.
After having an accident that left him fending for himself and with too much time to think, Emvor decides that he needs a wife that will help him on the farm and give him children. He is not picky, he doesn't care what she looks like. When Shaiiri (I think that her alien name) comes to him he does not imagine what secrets she's hiding.
Nicola's owner cannot fathom her been sold or enslaved and the two of them devise a plan to give Nicola a better future. They select Emvor's request for a Mail-Order Bride because it is a very remote and isolated place where she might not be found until it's too late.
I loved the interactions between these two characters and how sweetly the story developed. I also loved that even if this is a stand-alone story Emvor is of the same race as the Alien's from the Ice Planet Barbarian series by Dixon too. It gave me something familiar and an insight of what could have been for the Aliens in Not-Hoth.
