#BookReview – “Talson’s Match” by Marie Harte

Blurb 


Romec Talson is the last of his brothers to find a mate, and he’s in no hurry. So it’s a relief to check on the strange progress of one of the family’s shipping terminals on Earth, away from the manipulations of his happily mated siblings. The last thing he expects to encounter at Port Chase is the threat of drug running…or the woman of his dreams.

Tara Drake has no idea why the stranger at her door makes her hot and bothered, but if he works for the Talsons, she wants no part of him. Unfortunately, her body has a will of its own. Learning she’s not human is just the beginning of the surprises coming her way. Because love has no rhyme or reason in the face of fate. 

Review

In the fourth novella in the Talson Temptation series, Romec “Romy” Talson ‘Or Fal goes to Earth to investigate problems at his family’s shipping port. As an Otra—the race of aliens now living on Earth and elsewhere—he has special abilities and powers, but he’s different even among his own kind.

Tara Drake believes she’s human, but she can’t explain her psychic and healing abilities. She lives in the slums and hates the drug runners who are using the Talson shipping business as a means of moving drugs. Then she meets Romy, a supposed drug dealer, but she can’t deny her attraction to him.

Romy and Tara were fun characters. Despite the bit of tension between them at first, they got along great and were obviously meant for each other. The sex scenes were super hot, as always with Ms. Harte’s books.

I enjoyed this story, but I wish Tara’s mysterious origins had been explained. There were a few typos, but nothing major. Since it’s the last book in the series, the whole Talson family returns, and it was great seeing all the previous heroes and heroines again. I’m sad to see this series end.
