River's run is book one in an adult Alien series called Lords of Kassis. This book is about 3 sisters, River, Jo, and Star, two of which was kidnapped by Alien's, while the last saw this and sneaked her way on board their shuttlecraft then the main spacecraft by using the air ducts as a way to travel unseen.
** Slight Spoiler Alert**
While on the craft, still free, River witnesses the capture of large human-like men and decides that if she and her sisters were ever going to get home than they need to rescue them before any more of them were killed. Each of the girls was trained in a weapon as part of their circus act, River - throwing knives, Star - small handheld crossbow, Jo - a staff, using those skills the girls free the men then flee back to the air ducts to sabotage the craft.
**End Spoiler Alert **
I like how the heroine is strong and able to take care of herself, even in that situation. However, I disliked how the male lead kept on insisting that River needs to be protected because she was female. It's like he forgets he was the one who was rescued, and even when she points this out to him he conveniently forgets it or ignores the fact.
One thing about this story I did not understand was the almost instant "pull" they felt towards each other. His people do not find their mates by some kind of magical bond and neither does humans. So, without the soulmate twist why the hell would she put up with his shenanigans? Do you know? Because I don't.
I rate this Attraction – A promising Story, but nothing life-changing. You would read the sequel as more of a backup story when you run out.
Rated: 3/5 Stars
