(3.75 stars, rounded down to 3.) 
 While I can honestly say that I like both the sequel and its predecessor, I have to admit that Raahosh and Liz are dearer to me than Georgie and Vektal. 
 First, Raahosh. Oh, my. Raahosh. 
 When I first encountered him in the first book, I thought he was a just a big prick. Heh. Well, though that's not entirely false, he's actually just a big wounded softie inside. His past made him really endearing to me, and it actually shed some light as to why he acts like a caveman most of the time. He's just afraid of losing Liz, since he's always been left alone in life. 
 I close my eyes and will myself to be strong. My khui throbs incessantly, full of longing. It reminds me of everything I have never had, and everything I have wanted for what feels like an eternity. 
 HOW CAN YOU NOT MELT AT THAT??? WORDS OF A POET, I TELL YOU. 
 And I like how he lets Liz take control in their relationship. 
 I swallow back a ragged groan. My khui is resonating wildly in my breast, and Liz seems determined to play. And I? I am a weak man because I am going to let her. 
 Next, let's talk about Liz. Damn. This girl is snarky, bitchy, but independent and kickass and I love her. I think she's perfect for Raahosh, because this guy needs a strong woman to curb his possessive caveman attitude. 
 Again, the heat here is blazing hot, and the writing is well-done. I really recommend this for fans of the alien smut genre.
