Publisher Description
A space cruise with her bestie seems like the vacation of a lifetime until Holly Winter gets abducted by aliens and finds herself on a slave ship. When the ship’s AI goes haywire and accidentally releases the prisoners from their cells, she makes a break for it—only to be kidnapped again by a huge horned and furry alien. Aeon claims to be a prince, but he acts like a royal jerk and refuses to let Holly go. However, she’s determined to locate her friend and somehow get home to New Terra.
Prince Aeon of Araset is enjoying his last breath of freedom from royal duties when he’s accidentally ensnared by slavers trafficking in alien species, including the protected but despised humans. At the first opportunity, he escapes in a tiny evac pod and lands on the nearest inhabited planet. In an impulsive act of sympathy, he takes a human female with him to save her from a fate worse than death. Now he’s stuck with the talkative, conspicuous nuisance. For her own safety, he can’t release her.
At odds, at first, Holly and Aeon quickly discover that on a hostile, dangerous planet, being friends and working together offers more benefits than fighting. But when friendship turns passionate, emotions remain guarded because both know they are loving on borrowed time. Upon their rescue, Holly must return to New Terra. A human would never be accepted on Araset, and Aeon must bond with a royal of his species to inherit the throne.
Can two lovers from different worlds defeat the forces against them and find happiness together?

Alien With Benefits ( Forbidden Bonds ) By Cara Bristol
I have to say this was a very good story of Aeon and Holly . Aeon was a prince and Holly was a human and they had both been abducted by slavers .What these two found during their escape was love. They were an unusual couple but they found their HEA .
An outstanding start to a new series!
It’s fascinating to see the changes unfold as Holly and Aeon spend more time with each other. Appearances no longer seem so disturbing, prejudices no longer hold meaning. Holly certainly has the strength of will to confront Aeon with any misconceptions he has about humans. Aeon is a marvel at protecting Holly on their trek to seek rescue. I think he’s quite the teddy bear under all that princely demeanor. Friends with benefits! What they feel is SO much more than that. Such an interesting cast of characters. I can’t wait to find out more about them, especially the mystery surrounding Joule. I love this story!
Fun
Another new series begins with a bang as Holly and her friend Millie go on a star cruise. But of course things go wrong and thus begins a wild adventure for Holly and the alien that steals her from the ship to save her. Made me laugh and groan but was entertaining.
