An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo, #4)An Alien Storm by Calla Zae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Vanessa’s abusive marriage, she wants a quiet and peaceful life. Abducted with her sisters, they are rescued and taken to Saedo. There she works in a restaurant, while outside collecting ingredients she sees Arkon,a star being, one of her rescuers again. Arkon, has wondered about the woman since her rescue. They are attracted to each other but will that be enough to create a relationship?. All of her sisters had a rare flower bud when they met their star-mates. Would one bud for her and Arkon? Can each come to terms with their past?

This was the first book by Calla Zae for me, but it wont be the last. I really enjoyed the world and characters she built. The story is well written and easy to follow. I also had a hard time putting it down. I would recommend giving this book a read. I know I will be going back to read the rest of the series as I unintentionally started at the end.

Vanessa was a sweet girl with a beautiful spirit. Having overcome so much to get to this new life you could only root for her HEA. The story of her and Arkon is sweet and blissful knowing they are fated to be mates. While one works to overcome a dark past the other has to embrace a bright future. Their story is heartfelt and beautiful and celebrates the strength of love and moving on.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great read and totally enjoyable. I picked up this book not knowing what was in store and I am new to the author and it was such a good book. Mix in star like beings, humans, sci fi and romance I am totally game!

This book follows Vanessa and Arkon. Since living in Saedo, Vanessa and her sisters have really come to be welcomed by the Saedo since being rescued. Vanessa comes with some fears and baggage as she struggles to find herself after a failed marriage. Arkon is a Saedo soldier and all business. He is all about charts and numbers and Vanessa’s presence throws him for an unexpected attraction. Will Vanessa and Arkon find love while battling no only personal walls but lurking creatures?

I loved how these two characters really grew throughout the book, especially Vanessa. The story continued to flow so easily and really was a great read. Looking forward to reading more of this series!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I have not read the previous three books in this series, our author does a great job of bringing us up to speed on her characters and plot. Full of romance, relationships, drama, chemistry, and more I just simply couldn’t put this book down. This particular story follows Vanessa a human chef is just trying to make her new life work, but it seems that her old life comes back to haunt her. Akron is the soldier that saved her, when they say that opposites attract that was definitely the case with these two. So if your looking for a short but good story then look this one up today. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fast-paced, quick, easy science fiction romance read. I did enjoy reading this one, and it can be read as a standalone book. I have not read any of the previous books in this series and I didn’t feel like I missed much. There were a few times that I wished I had some more background information but that contribute to the ending or my feelings about this book at all. It was interesting to me see just how creative this authors mind is, especially in regards to the cuisine in this book and the edible lingerie. If you like steamy, easy sci-fi reads then this one is for you!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Soldiers of Saedo series, but it can be read as a standalone. There are references to the first books, but you do not have to read them to understand what is going on.

An Alien Storm is a quick, action-packed alien romance with some soft gooey parts. Vanessa is a creative chef who has a traumatic past and is learning to trust her gut again. Arkon is a logical, analytical person who is learning to think outside the box. It would seem they are opposites, but I love how Arkon put it – they are polarities, which isn’t a bad thing.

Overall this story is imaginative, interesting, and well-written. The 2 main characters connect instantly, and they have a whirlwind romance.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An alien romance with opposites and a tormented past to overcome? Yes. Please. I was very excited to read this book, but I will say unfortunately the romance and back story fell flat. It felt like things were resolved too quickly and made it hard for me to really feel for the characters. That being said, the world building in this story was well done, and I found myself intrigued on where this book was going and the details of the over arcing mystery. I think there is more than meets the eye with this tale. I am curious to continue!

An Alien Storm is the fourth book in the Soldiers of Saedo series. I really enjoyed this book. It is a gem! Despite reading An Alien Storm without reading the first 3 books in the series, it was very easy to follow. I really enjoyed the world-building and absolutely adored the interactions between Vanessa and Arkon. They are both intriguing and relatable characters and they have sweet, sexy chemistry. The plot is well developed and has quite a bit of action. There were a lot of great laugh-out-loud moments. I plan to go back and read the first 3 and then the fifth book.

This is my first time reading a book by author Calla Zae. I’m highly impressed by her creativity and imagination😍. The world she set her story in is very intriguing. I would never be able to come up with some of the things she does. It makes me want to see how they would pull it off in real life. I only wish it was longer because Vanessa and Arkon are so freaking cute♥️.I hope to see more of them as I continue to read the series. I’ll recommend this book to anyone willing to listen😊

I love to find new authors and new series. I am also very bad at reading books out of sequence. This is the first book by this author I am reading and I was not let down. I really like how the author has a unique and refreshing plot.

The characters come with their own shall we say past and it adds to the story. I also like how the story is well balanced with romance and drama. The characters really have depth and I felt as though I was right there in the thick of it. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Vanessa is trying to live her life for herself and leave her painful past behind her. Yet it seems the past does not want to leave. As Vanessa begins to settle into her new life a storm comes to both the planet and Vanessa herself. For Vanessa, Arkon is a bright spot in all the chaos. Can he be the one to banish the past for her?

Vanessa and Arkon’s story is an interesting read. The two work well together and make a nice couple. They each have their own demons to deal with and find that by working together love has a better chance. Their story is a fast paced one that revolves around emotions. While this book immerses the reader in a fantasy world, I felt that there was a lot of constant describing of the details that pulled me out of the story. The romance between the two is good but I did not feel connected to the characters. While this may not be a perfect book for me it does a good job of moving the story arc along and keeps the reader interested.

Vanessa is recovering from an abusive relationship and finds herself wildly attracted to Arkon. She is learning to trust herself and maybe just maybe she’s open for love. If not, at least the lovemaking is hot! Meanwhile the planet she is inhabiting is being overtaken by alien worms creating a nasty storm and trying to destroy those already living there. Thankfully our heroine has sisters and a wise and insightful grandmother to the magic and the ways of the cosmos. I thoroughly enjoy this world Calla Zae has created. It reminded me of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars with its own spice and yet entirely its own. I’ll be reading more of Soldiers of Saedo!

This author and series is new to me and I have not read the previous books in this series. Jumping in at book 4 didn’t keep me from enjoying the book. Vanessa’s past experience being married was not healthy and she is determined to find peace in the new planet with her sisters were relocated to. The planet is different from Earth in ways and Vanessa is enjoying adding plants that are new to her to dishes she creates. When she meets Arkon, Vanessa finds that she’s attracted to him and has feelings for him in ways she didn’t expect after her marriage.

The author did a wonderful job describing the planet which helped set the scene well. The story has romance, some suspense, and overall kept my attention throughout the book. I’m looking forward to reading the earlier books in this series soon.

This is such a beautiful sci-fi romance. I really enjoyed this book! It’s the perfect mix of sci-fi, action and sweet romance and heat. Arkon and Vanessa feel an immediate pull to each other but Vanessa has been hurt so badly in the past that she shys away. It doesn’t take long for Arkon to start to wriggle around the walls she has in place and he begins to warm her heart. They both have to face the demons of their past and open up and trust each other if they want to have a chance of making their budding romance last. I really loved the ending of this book and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Vanessa, seemingly broken from a failed disastrous marriage on earth, her ex husband in jail; is rescued and agrees to go to Saedon with her sisters.

Saedon is full of exotic things Vanessa enjoys unfolding as a cook and despite her crazy previously life she finds some enjoyment in her cooking.

In enters Arkon and she immediately feels a connection. He was on the team that rescued her; but when they meet formally, the sparks fly… among other things going flying (haha)

.Can she let go of all the devalument she was forced to feel and see herself the way he does?

And what of the new feelings and sensations on this planet… is there more? Is there evil intentions on this planet…. why the heck are worms attacking???

This is a pretty good Romance. A little more development of these two characters Romance and it would have been 5 stars. 4.5/5

I truly and thoroughly enjoyed this book! I could not put it down!! It was a little bit of danger, mystery, and a whole lot of love! I gave this book 4 stars because I wanted more! The author did an awesome job of describing the characters, the places and emotions that the characters were feeling at the time. Vanessa and Arkon, the book’s main characters have an electrifying relationship from the very start. I won’t go into too much detail because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone! This book is definitely a must read! I look forward to reading the other books in the series.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and she has me intrigued. The plot and characters where different but in a great way.

They have both been hurt before will they let their guard down and look to the future or will they keep looking backwards to their past?
Vanessa just wants a calm life with her sisters after getting out of a bad marriage on Earth from her ex-husband Travis. Living in the Province of Saedo on planet Celeron, Vanessa is a Chef and she has found an abundance of herbs she can use in her dishes.
Arkon, is one of the soldiers that saved Vanessa from her Ex. He is a skilled soldier who prefers numbers, charts, and anything with absoluteness. He finds himself attractive to Vanessa but he isn’t sure how to handle her. He is a rule follower and Vanessa is a rule breaker….
Can these two overcome the obstacles in their way? Will they have a happily ever after?

4 Stars

 

An Alien Storm is the fourth book in the Soldiers of Saedo series by Calla Zae. I have read and enjoyed a few of Calla Zae’s books now, and I’ve noticed that she has a knack for storytelling that encompasses a lot of different tropes- but this is the first sci-fi romance of hers that I have read. As I always seem to find myself doing without realising, I have started this series a little backwards, as this is the fourth book in the series. Even though this book is well into the series, I was still able to read this as a standalone without any real issues. But having said that, I suspect there is an overarching back story that threads through the series, and maybe some recurring characters too- so I will definitely be going back to explore the rest of the series to discover what has happened previously, before continuing on with any new instalments.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Calla Zae!

This is a new author to me and I have not read the previous books, but figured out each book is dedicated to a sister! In this book, the story is around Vanessa and an alien she meets Arkon. Vanessa has a divorce after a traumatic marriage on Earth. When the soldiers rescue her and her sisters in Saedo, she decides to go to Saedo as there is nothing left on Earth. She meets Arkon, and sparks fly. But Can Vanessa get over her traumatic past and go closer to Arkon? That is the crux of the story. It is a sweet romance and sci-fi fiction. I would like to go back and read the other books.

Another great book!!!! I am a glut for good alien romance (ask my poor husband) and this did. not. disappoint! I adore Vanessa (and her family!) and Arkon is yumminess personified. I love that Vanessa is a chef and it’s so magical to read about all the treats and foods she can create. Arkon is adorable in his pursuit of Vanessa and I love his protective side. This was a fantastic book and y’all should know I’m about to read the rest of the authors work!

I was really into this book. Do I want to live on a weird alien planet with super attractive men? Yes I do. Do I care if they are green? Not at all. Vanessa and Arkon are good together, she had ended a terrible marriage, and he has trust issues with women after his last girlfriend. They are both complete opposites which makes them perfect together. I was happy to see how Arkon was willing to show Vanessa his love and patience for her, and that he would in no way be like her ex husband. Vanessa is tough, after what she went through she learned to be a fighter and when the squirmurs come she readily takes up a gun and fights. This planet is fun and I really look forward to the next book. I also really liked in the beginning, the picture of the universe and where the different planets are laid out.

An Alien Storm is the fourth book in the Soldiers of Saedo Series that I truly enjoyed reading. This is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy that is a fast paced story and once you start reading you won’t want to put it down until you’ve finished. I’ve read other books by this author and this is my favorite yet. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with the storyline that flows well . The characters are fun and relatable .This is about Akron and Vanessa. These two both have been burned in the past but can they let go of the past and have a relationship. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

If you love sci-fi & romance, you will love this one. Vanessa is from Earth and still suffers anxiety from an abusive relationship although she is now on a different planet entirely. Arkon is a star being and one of the aliens who rescued her. Their chemistry and their pasts make them so relatable. I enjoyed the plot, and now I want to read the entire series.

This was book 4 of the soldiers of Saedo series. Even though this was the fourth book, and I had not yet read the first three, I still was able to easily read the story and not feel like I was missing anything. That being said, I will definitely be going back and grabbing the first 3. The FMC is a chef that finds herself on an alien planets after a horrible break up. Her HEA is a very work driven alien who can’t seem to stay away. The shorty story is only 13 chapters but is very entertaining.

This was a most entertaining and original book. Vanessa has left an abusive relationship and ends up on Saedo. The soldiers rescued her and her sisters. Arkon, the soldier who rescued her, has been hurt in the past also. They both have to work through issues which are many and unique as this is an alien planet. I absolutely loved the detail. The description of the flowers and plants for mating; Grandma ‘s soup; Vanessa’s cooking and the relationships with her sisters and their spouses just kept you engaged through the whole story. It was fascinating with the detail. I found myself picturing the story. The characters felt like they could be from Earth. They could be neighbors. The plot ran pretty smooth. It was a great story that I would recommend.

I enjoyed this science fiction story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story about Arkon and Vanessa. They both have a past that has burned them and deserve another chance at love. One a skilled warrior and the other a great chef. Will fate cook up some romance for these two? I enjoyed these two characters. They pulled me into the story and kept me engaged to the end. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. They are connectable and have great growth throughout. I also enjoyed their chemistry and what they brought to the story. This is a fast paced shorter story that is so worth the pick up. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this story and this wonderful author. I had not read the previous books in the series, but I most certainly am going to now. It was a quick read, with a lot of emotions and action for me. The characters were impossible to love. I found there was never a dull moment.

I personally enjoyed the tender moments between Arkon and Vanessa. Both had something hidden within that needed some healing. Their moments together really brought the story to a different perspective than what I expected. I did find there was more to them than met the eyes at first glance, and I really loved that. I loved the outside factors that made this story take flight as well. I found one ting led to another and it was a good paced book. Really enjoyed it and will be reading the others as well.

Wonderful read with a engaging story line and great characters. I highly recommend this author and this book for sure. it was beyond amazing. I highly recommend! It is well worth a read!
