My Rating: FIVE DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING STARS*****
Wow! Another winner from S.E. Smith! I'm a little late to the party for this release but I finally made it and so glad I did! After reading a few of the reviews, I admit I was a little hesitant about purchasing this book but I'm so glad I ignored the bad reviews. I realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion, as am I, but I failed to see any merit to the criticisms made by several reviewers. I am not a professional reviewer but I am an avid reader and have been for the last 60 years. I know what I like, what I love and most definitely, what I don't and I LOVED this book! I've read every single release in the Dragon Lords of Valdier, Dragonlings of Valdier, Curizan Warriors, Sarafin Warriors and Magic New Mexico Series and have loved them all. This is an exciting, imaginative, humorous, heartwarming, well crafted and well written book. The dialogue is well executed, flows beautifully and at times, laugh out loud funny. Yes, this book has a great plot but it's the magnificent characters that totally stole my heart. They are captivating, intriguing, endearing, well developed, larger than life, sexy as sin and outrageously funny. They literally explode from the pages and capture your heart. I snickered, snorted, giggled and guffawed throughout the majority of the book but I also shed a few tears as well. But then, all of Smith's books have that effect on me and this one was no exception. If an author can tug on my heartstrings and make me cry while simultaneously warming my heart with healing love and laughter, she has most certainly succeeded in delivering an entertaining read. Isn't that what we all look for in a great read? To be truly entertained? And this book is divinely entertaining! Sure, maybe there were a few minor editing errors but so what? We all make typos and I noticed quite a few in the reviews making the criticisms. Hey, we're all human - I hope! lol... With an author who has a standard for excellence and proven track record like S.E. Smith, a few irrelevant errors should not be used to judge the overall quality of the story. Had there been tons of them, I could understand but there were only a few very minor mistakes. So my advice, ignore the bad reviews and read this book. I sincerely believe you will never regret your decision to read this one. If you enjoy Smith's extraordinary talent, exceptional skill, unique style, incredible worlds and fascinating characters, then you will surely love this book just as much as I did. What didn't I like about this book? Not a darn thing! What did I love about this book? Everything! Would I recommend this book? You bet and I am! So, buckle up my lovelies and prepare to be entertained with this enchanting story of another Sarafin Warrior finding his mate! Handsome, totally clueless, alpha-alien feline shifter warrior hero-check! Beautiful, courageous, intelligent, somewhat reclusive human heroine trying to overcome her fears as a result of a terrifying event-check! A very pregnant sister who is marrying an alien feline shifter King on another planet-check! A totally outrageous and very outspoken grandmother who loves her two granddaughters more than life itself-check! A set of rules to live by that will make you giggle-check! Danger, drama, adventure, aliens, spaceships and evil despicable human and alien villains-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, agonizing angst, heartwarming romance and dreamy sex-you bet! That and a whole lot more! Deliciously cute, seriously sexy, completely captivating and delightfully entertaining!!!

Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

Alien shifter bad boys that turn into hot alpha cats, burn up the pages of this amazing tale created by the queen of Sci-Fi romance, S. E. Smith. In this the second book of the Sarafin Warriors series we find our hero sent on an errand by his King and older brother, Vox. He is to travel to Earth and return with his mate’s sister and grandmother. This is the story of Viper’s journey and him finding his mate, Tina.

Viper is not expecting to find his mate, he doesn’t want a mate, he is not ready for a mate, but he finds his mate in Tina St. Claire! He cannot believe that his brother has sent him on a babysitting job like this! His responsibility is to his King, family and people. Someone is trying to kill them and he needs to uncover those behind the plot, not wonder around the universe collecting women. Especially, when it is women that have no respect for those trying to protect them and keep them safe. The goddess must be extremely angry with him to send him a mate that refuses to accept him.

Tina has always been reserved. She would rather be alone and keeps everyone at arm’s length, except for her sister and grandmother. When a strange man arrives and says that her sister sent him to get them, the battle begins. Her sister disappeared six months ago and Tina had tried everything to find her and now this strange being is trying to tell her that her sister is no longer on Earth! What’s a girl to do? Taser him, tranquilize him, and do whatever until she can get some answers of course. He is kind’ a cute though, but men are not to be trusted according to my Grandma Pearl.

There are evil forces working against those fighting to protect and serve their people. Evil that if left unleashed will destroy everything in its path. Viper must keep Tina safe and at the same time find out who is behind the plot to take over his world.

Hero: Prince Viper d’Rojah 4.25 stars
Heroine: Tina St. Claire 4.25 stars
Steam: 4.25 stars
Plot: 4.25 stars
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This book is filled with sizzling heat, hilarious humor, unforgettable characters and a story that will ensnare your imagination.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! Once again the extraordinarily talented, S. E. Smith offers a book that will not only take you out of this world with her vivid imagination but will also share an unforgettable love story among the stars.

What do you get when you put a strong woman who has see the dark side of men together with a Sarafin Warrior Prince who never thought to find a mate and a rock salt filled shotgun toting granny with rules to live by? A fast paced fun read that you do not want to end.
SE Smith writes clever dialogue with intriguing characters. Her books pick you up and make you smile. She really is the queen of feel good sci first romance.

I don't do synopsis or spoilers in my reviews. I will give you my reading experience of the book and characters.

Book Flow: 5 stars, fast paced never a dull moment

World Building: you do need to read book 1 CHOOSING RILEY before this book it is not stand alone.

Characters

Hero: 5+ Stars for Viper ( I only wanted to shake him 1 time silly cat boy)

Heroine: 5 + Stars for Tina ( Loved her stubborn more then Riley and I loved Riley)

Secondary Characters

Grandma Pearl 10 Amazing Stars!!!! Next to the dragonlings She is my most loved character this author has ever written. I want Grandma Pearl to have her own book and HEA! Her rules to live by are so much fabulous common sense rules we should all adhesive to in this live.

We get to visit with Riley and Vox again which is always great about SE Smith books. You get to see previous characters and
how they are progressing.

I can't wait to see where we go next with the series. Thank you SE for another terrific reading experience.

When I read it first, I was not sure it could compete with Choosing Riley as it is so far my favorite book by S.E. Smith but it was a good surprise and a very great continuation in the Sarafin Warriors series.
After the incredible Riley, we meet her sister Tina and her grandma Pearl.
Just for Pearl’s rules, you have to read this book, but there is more than these rules for life and love.
Tina is not her big sister, but she is equally an awesome woman, so uses less her mouth and more her brain and fists, and she will stop to nothing until she knows where is her sister.
Viper is as first a royal @ssh0l€ at the beginning but faced with Pearl and Tina, he will have to understand rather soon than later that women are not always weak things to protect. He will learn his lesson the hard way but the more he will realize women are not some sub-human beings but amazing creatures to cherish and consider as equal.
The first part of the book was just hilarious, I can only say the aliens were not prepared to this first contact with some crazy not so damsel-in-distress women.
Then the second part was more about learning to trust and acceptance, less silly but still with laughing out loud scenes and some very tender moments.
I do love those big kitties, my inner lady-cat can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Loved Viper and Tina's story fun excitement and suspense all rolled into one, Viper has been sent to earth by his brother Vox to collect Riley's sister Tina and her Grandma Pearl so that Vox and Riley can be married the human way. Viper is strong handsome and definitely not looking for a mate especially not a human one like his brother Vox's mate Riley, that is until he and his cat lay eyes on Riley's sister Tina and they soon realise she is their mate, but claiming her isn't going to be easy, not only does he have to contend with the fact that Tina doesn't seem to fall for his charms but that Grandma Pearl is every bit as vicious as he had been warned especially when carrying her shotgun, after being shot with salt pellets and being drugged a few times he quickly learns these humans are not as easy to conquer as he once thought, he must earn their trust if he is ever going to have his mate and get them to leave Earth to return to Sarafin.
Tina was quieter and more withdrawn than her sister Riley but after what Tina went through as a young girl who wouldn't be, although afraid she found her inner strength when she needed it most, determined to find her sister Riley she travels to Righteous, New Mexico to pay a visit to her sister's ex boss Douglas Knockletter, after discovering who Tina is his attitude changes toward her and he becomes cold and aggressive he grabs Tina by the throat and pins her to the wall, Tina has learned self defence since the attack on her as a young girl and knees Douglas in the groin and knocks him out with a bag of quarters she carries in her purse she then handcuffs him to an old radiator, while looking through the drawers of his desk she discovers some evidence that might help put him behind bars where he belongs, Tina makes her escape and heads home. Tina hears the door open and thinks it's just the men her Grandma has employed to help out in the bar but she soon discovers that is the furthest thing from the truth and after seeing Viper turn into a big cat she realises he is something completely different, Tina learns that Viper is an alien and that he has been sent to take her and Grandma Pearl back to his planet where her sister Riley now lives with his brother Vox, but being an alien Viper doesn't always get the human language right and makes quite a few mistakes when trying to explain things, which earns him a few punishments in return before he earns a little trust from Tina and her Grandma. Viper tells Tina about the papers Riley has given him and goes to his ship to collect them, as he is returns he hears Douglas Knockletters men bragging about killing his mate he quickly dispenses of them and enters the bar to take care of the rest, viper finally manages to get Tina and her Grandma onto the ship and heads for Sarafin but it is not all plain sailing and there is still obstacles to overcome before he can finally have his mate. S.E. Smith you have done it again I never tire of these books and look forward to the next one.

Love the antics of the St. Clair women. They are so snarky and fun that you can't help but root for them and for whatever mayhem their presence induces. Choosing Riley is still my favourite so far but this was still a good story.
