Ruthless: A Mated to the Alien Novel (Detyen Warriors Book 2) Kindle Edition
Toran NaLosen has no future and no hope. His path is bleak: die at thirty or sacrifice his emotions to survive a few more years. Stranded on Earth and far from home, the last person he expects to meet is the one woman meant for him, his denya.
Iris Mason protects the Earth in her own way by investigating threats and reporting on them to the Sol Defense Agency. At work she's thriving, but personally the past year has ground her down and tested her resolve. Still recovering from the implosion of her last relationship, she doesn't want the risk that comes with a new man.
But when her job puts her on a collision course with Toran, a lightning bolt of desire hits her and has her questioning everything. These adversaries must forge an alliance if any bond between them stands a chance, but it may not just be their hearts at stake. An ancient foe of the Detyen race lurks wherever they look and he has a new target in his sights: Earth.
Each Detyen Warriors novel can be read as a standalone. You can read about the adventures of these fated mates or listen in audio!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021Ruthless is book 2 in the Detyen Warriors series, a spinoff of the Mated To The Alien series. You don't have to read that series to read this one (and the reading order gets interesting), but reading Ruwen before this series would be beneficial. As a side note, reading Soulless (book 1) before this one is almost a must. It stands alone, but only by a hair and you will miss a lot. Written in 3rd person omniscient perspective from mostly the main two leads' point of view.
Ruthless is Toran, the leader of our small contingent of Detyen Legion warriors. Unlike Raze, he still has his soul, though he's getting close to the age where he'll need to make the choice. He was raised a soldier, and his personality shows it: he's no no-nonsense, to the point, and, as the title implies, a bit ruthless. He is, however, very dedicated to his cause and his people. He cares for his soulless compatriots as best he's able, and the knowledge that he will likely have to call for their termination at some point pains him. Overall, I liked Toran's character. Iris was a good match, even if she wasn't a warrior. The softness balances him, I think.
Iris is a human investigative reporter who has something of a hyper-focus issue when it comes to work. When she's assigned to the Detyen group to discover if they're a threat to earth or not, she's excited to be helping earth. Her odd instant attraction, and trust, in their leader throws a wrench in how she saw the investigation going. Iris doesn't jump headfirst into the bond like Sierra did, but that really didn't suit her personality, so I think the gradual acceptance fit well in this. She didn't fight it like a banshee, just sort of tested the waters slowly. Her overall gentle personality meshed well with Toran's rougher one.
The story also progresses the underlying storyline of the series and we get some up close and personal with the suspicious ambassador Wreet. There's some action, a dose of drama from the rescued women, some heartwarming camaraderie, a dash of steam, and a tiny bit of comeuppance. If you like 100 year old mysteries, bright colored aliens, and some earth saving action with your romance, this is a good book for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2020I love good sci-fi. Where the story is really well crafted, written and delivered in a way that I can understand and relate to. This series is one that definitely meets those goals! Toran is the strong leader, flummoxed by his friend Raze’s behavior after finding his denya- mate (that story is in book 1, Soulless.). The Detyens have returned 11 freed slaves and three SIA spies back to earth. The complex and intriguing story unfolds, full of spies, torturers, a plot to destroy Earth, our strong and capable heroine, and Toran finding his denya. Sizzling hot action on the moon, on Earth, and in the bedroom kept me engaged and wanting to jump right into the next book!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019“Ruthless in pursuing what you want.” These words stuck with me. Toran was indeed ruthless, but in a positive way. He was never cruel, only determined and that determination earned him his denya.
I loved the story, there was danger involved and conspiracy but above all else there is that yearning for their mate, their denya, which gave them the courage to pursue their course.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2022It us amazing what person can when faced with sadistic villain. I thoroughly enjoyed this author's working of this story. Acton, danger and of course love. Can't wait to eat the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020It was ok read. It could be a little better. The ending felt little confused.I love the characters inaction with each other.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021Toran is in command of the Deytans on earth after the first book. His future is bleak until he meets Iris. Iris was sent to investigate him and his team. Romance and action ensues as the Deytans continue to try and figure out who destroyed their planet. The characters are good, some of the scenes are steamy, and the action is well laid out.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020Second in the series. Iris and Toran's story is full of action, adventure, suspense, and romance with a HEA. This book grabs you from the beginning.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020I do love this series. Only thing i can really say is that i would like to see more descriptions of everything.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two and a half stars
I don't know what it was about this book that I found boring because it it appeared to have all the ingredients to make a good story but it just didn't gel for me.
I won't rewrite the blurb but give my review as to the quality of the story.
I normally finish a good story in a few nights but this has taken me weeks Several times I put it aside and read something else but I was determined to finish it because of the price it cost me but I never really enjoyed it.
I had read the previous book in the series and enjoyed it but this one just lacked that something that makes a book a good story.
The author refers to the story from book one and if you haven't read it your bound to be confused but more annoyingly she alludes to the stories she will write and I for one dislike that.
I paid fo this book an want it concluded in full; it's not s Tv series where you watch and go to bed thinking what going to happen tomorrow night.. This is how the author writes this book… she wants us to think about the next book when she really should be concentrating on making this story so good we'll be dying for the next.
Enough said this was too expensive for what it was I don't think I will be reading the rest of the series even though it means I will never know what eventually happened to this couple or of.that matter the whole race
