York (The Vorge Crew, #3) and Raff (The Vorge Crew, #4) by Laurann Dohner

York by Laurann Dohner

SUMMARY

Watching his crewmates fall in love has left York craving a female of his own. That’s how he ends up being matched to a Parri female through a service to find bond mates. He’s excited at the prospect when he arrives on planet Relon. Until he actually meets her. 

Betrayed by her government in a bid for alien technology, poverty-stricken human Sara is doomed to be a prince’s sex toy, until she’s rescued on a planet that doesn’t take kindly to slavers. Suddenly free, she’s an outcast on her new home, treated with distrust…by everyone except a gorgeous, kind, huge blue alien. Too bad he’s getting married the next day. His future bond mate is a horrid, abusive woman, and Sara has a way to save them both—she’ll convince York to bond with her instead.

MY REVIEW

I think that was my least favourite book of the series and that's because hardly anything happens in the book.
York is sweet and nice, Sara is even sweeter and nicer than him. York needs someone to cuddle, Sara needs a protector because she cannot go back to Earth. So they get married because it is the best solution for both of them.

The rest of the Vorge crew is happy about their happiness and they help them stay together. York's ex lover is happy for him, but also sad because he was her back-up plan. 

Bad aliens are punished and Vorge, the “Ark of the refuges, the placed out, the unwanted, the mischievous, the Earth girls” is once more full with love.

I am looking forward to Raff's story.

Raff by Laurann Dohner

SUMMARY

Lilly left Earth seeking adventure, and learning about aliens sounded cool. She just didn’t expect to meet any in person—until her ship is attacked by alien pirates. Now she’s meeting plenty of them. Scary ones who want to do very bad things to her.

Fighting for survival since childhood, Raff Vellar is more intimately familiar with knives and bloodshed than women. Then, during a trip to his home planet, a tiny human literally falls at his feet. When he learns she’s been forced into slavery, a fierce need to protect the human overcomes him. A feeling that quickly turns into a deep need to keep her forever. 

MY REVIEW

I think Raff has had the most adventurous story of the series and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

Raff is Cathian's cousin and obviously he is Tryleskian as well. Only as we realise he is not one hundred per cent Tryleskian. Taking a lot from his mother's biological race, his mating process is somehow different and his anatomy is completely different.

Moreover unlikely Cathian's childhood, he did not have an easy life as a kid. That was the reason that he visits G4, an unfriendly dangerous planet and his childhood home, to get his revenge. A revenge that he vowed to have. There he realises that the person he wanted to kill is not longer available and alive. 
Instead Raff manages to save a pretty small human girl, Lilly. 

Lilly wanted to visit space, seek adventure and meet many aliens. Unfortunately alien pirates have abducted her and she was on her way as a pleasure slave, until the cat-man saves her.
Raff and Lilly will try to stay alive at G4 until Vorge returns and rescue them. 
Perfect opportunity for some interesting mating.
