    About this audiobook

    The love that remains…

    Kivia Quigley never expected to be the mother-in-law to an eight-foot-tall pink alien, but she's not complaining. The widow is more than happy to have some joy in her family's life, for a change.

    And when she meets Dr. Mafer H'looder, a brilliant Veraci scientist, she realizes that, despite their drastic physiological differences, they have a lot more in common than just being able to speak each other's languages.

    Like grief, longing, and loneliness.

    And a greedy, megalomaniacal psychopath determined to get what he wants out of both of them.

    (Book 3 in the Maxim Colonies series.)

    [sci-fi/space opera romance, MF, human/alien pairing, HEA].  

    Editor's Note

    Alien Romance...

    Richardson puts her own distinct spin on the popular alien romance genre, pairing an older widow with an eight-foot-tall pink alien who’s into BDSM. Their romance is surprisingly sweet, and both behave cautiously when it comes to putting their hearts on the line. There’s an external threat that ramps up the action, and the world is obviously different than ours, but not too difficult to get absorbed into.

      For me this was the best of the 3. Not only due to the narration, but Kivia's character. She is a strong woman who likes dominance sexually, but won't be dominated.
      I hope for book 4, as I want to know Simon's sister's story too.

      The book was really good I was glued to it , but still left wanting to know if Simon and Morh has more babies and if Davie and his spouse have anymore babies. Plus there should be a book on Simons sister.
