Loved Anders and Gwen! My favorite in the series so far! ANDERS is the third book (and the third brother) in Lisa Lace’s newest series, Auxem, about the five Prince’s from the planet who have come to earth in search of brides. It’s also essentially the sixteenth book in her TerraMates series, since the bride’s are found, with permission from Earth’s government officials, through TerraMates. However, this book is a stand-alone, full-length science fiction romance with no cliffhangers.

Unlike his two older brothers, Arnon and Ayries, Anders didn’t choose a wife from among the women in Earth. Anders is a pilot with exceptional skill… and the swagger to go with it, and this is where his focus lies. He has no time for love. Especially when the woman he loved most died. He refuses to go through that pain again.

Gwen was not part of the Brides program, but she is on board the Auxem’s ship as a pilot, Anders’ co-pilot and greatest temptation. They make a great team and have become close friends. When everyone on the Auxem ship is suddenly in danger it’s up to Anders and Gwen to save them all. Their great teamwork will be tested and so will Anders hope to keep from falling in love with Gwen, and Gwen’s hope to not fall for the handsome Prince she thinks would never want her. Both are burning with desire for the other, but the Auxem can mate with only one woman and it’s for life, are they ready for that commitment?

Great story! Lots of danger, adventure, excitement and all set in brilliant futuristic, alien settings. There’s also plenty of laughs, witty dialogue, and some creative sexy times for a couple who can’t quite go all the way!!

~The narration for Anders was excellent. The best so far in all of Lisa Lace’s books I’ve listened to so far. There is good pacing in the reading, real emotion and good variances demonstrated in the different characters. It made a huge difference for me.
