Marked For Rage: An Alien Fated Mates Romance (Crashed And Claimed, #0)
Susan Hayes
It was supposed to be a delivery run… How did it turn into a prison break? All Mercy had to do was deliver her cargo and go. Now she’s got a bunch of irate aliens on her tail and a hot-as-Helios escaped prisoner in her cargo bay who insists she is his. She’s too old for this crap, and she keeps telling herself she’s too old for him, too. But his arguments and his… assets are very convincing. If they’re going to survive this intergalactic crisis, she’s going to need a plan… and her hot, horned, and handsome alien passenger is going to need some clothes. **Buckle up. This sci-fi romance contains an alien with fur, fangs, horns, and a very possessive attitude when it comes to the woman he’s claimed for his own.

These are my honest thoughts, I love the plot of this story. Rage is an alien captive who is set to be terminated and Mercy is a human woman who transports material in space. DID YOU HEAR THAT??? SHE TRANSPORTS MATERIAL IN SPACE!! SHE ISN'T KIDNAPPED FOR SEX SLAVERY. You all have no idea how happy this makes me, the sci-fi romance genre is inundated with sex slavery plot lines that when I finally find one that isn't I get so excited.
So plot, we have an alien man who is set to be killed who makes one last attempt at breaking free and winds up getting help from Mercy. As the story progresses there is more information revealed about where Rage comes from and how him and his 'brothers' wound up in this prison being experimented on. He wants to make sure he saves his brothers and does what he can with the help of Mercy who has some connections with bigger names.
Now I won't lie I wish this was longer just so it could have expanded the plot line in depth even more, it is so intriguing. I want to know everything and I wanted the nitty and gritty details that where skimmed over, like when Mercy and Rage where making their plans to help the other Fa'rels. It is skipped over so a 2nd sex scene could be included, which frankly I didn't want, I wanted the story. I have a lot of questions about how the next few books are going to work plot wise due to how this one ended, so I will pick up the next one.
Now the romance, it was terrible. It was just another insta-lust story line where they immediately fall for each other and start banging just because they can't seem to control their unhinged horny feelings for each other. There is no exploration into building their relationship and making it feel believable. They of course exchanged the 'I love you's" after two weeks, because that totally makes me believe it even more. It was also very frustrating that both Mercy and Rage could only seem to think of the other in sexual ways, it just added fuel to the insta-lust that was going on. Separately they were intriguing, MErcy was a tough girl with an attitude who liked her solitude and Rage was a ball of anger who wanted company, I wish they had been explored more separately. The length of this really does work against the overall enjoyment which is why I'm giving it 3 stars.
