Freeing Luka: The Clecanian Series Book 2

Love this story can't wait to read more into this amazing world such a easy read, I put it down one star because it wasn't as steamy as Choosing theo but still a great read will be moving on to the next one.

I really enjoyed the first book so I can’t understand why it’s taken me so long to read the next in the series.We’re straight into the action. Alice has been kidnapped by aliens and wakes up in a medical unit. The Clecanians are still desperate to repopulate their species and an insurgent element has started to experiment on humans.Luka is also being held captive as a test subject and apparently there’s a mating bond between him and Alice.Again, there’s great world building with balanced description and narrative. However, the pace lagged a bit in the middle. There’s lots of planning discussions about the insurgents etc. I wanted it to move a bit quicker and give more focus to Luka and Alice. I think after the intensity of the opening chapters, the lull was disappointing.Luka is so desperate for things to work with his mate, he comes on too strong to start with, and Alice is resistant to accept the bond. While you think she’ll make him grovel she kind of gives in at the first kiss. Then he messes up again, but he’s determined to win her over.Alice is one of those people who’s too nice for their own good, and manipulative jerks takes advantage of her kindness. Since the alien kidnapping, she doesn’t want to be seen as a pushover any more. Alice fights against the pull of the bond and doesn’t want to allow her feelings for Luka to override what’s best for her.The plot picked up again when they start to spend more time together. There were so many endearing scenes where get to know each other and the slow burn flares to hot flames.Luka is so cute. He’s smart with a quirky sense of humour, and oh so protective. He’s never had to work hard for anything before but he tries so hard to win over Alice with picnics and romantic stories.I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first book because of the lull in tension and the slower pace. However, the romantic elements still made it a nice read and I will probably finish the series.

I have read the first book and love it .the second is just as good .I look forward to reading the next in the series

This story had dark note to begin with, but I loved how the author was able to lighten the mood and maintain that almost innocent back to the future feel. Romance, adventure, new frontier and strong heroines of strength and stature. Looking forward to the next installment.

Great book i enjoyed every minute of it and would recommend this series to everyone the main characters were great i enjoyed every minute and can't wait to start the next book saving verakko i thought he was very sweet and good looking these male are all drop dead gorgeous and a girl would be lucky to have any of them

Good follow on from first book but liked Theo and Jades story better. Really hoping izzos story gets told with daisy
