Publisher Description
The Omega Reclamation Crew is in trouble. After the loss of their homeworld and generations spent in the cold darkness of space, fewer eggs hatch every year—and now only males. Losing hope, the ORC asteroid mining ship DeepWander has one chance to make a deal at the Luster, an astronomically infamous gathering of salvage and retrieval mercenaries. But the orcs need dates to the big bash…
Welcome to the Intergalactic Dating Agency!
Crusher Teq was hatched for one task: breaking space rocks. To save the DeepWander, he'll crush with his four bare hands, if necessary. When the Big Sky IDA sends delicate Earther females, Teq knows he's too big and rough to take a wife-mate. He vows to keep all his hands to himself—even after one soft, alien kiss threatens to ignite his i'lva: the mystical light of orc legend.
With her young son at risk, Adeline Barlow had only one thought: get as far away from their painful past as possible. She just hadn't realized quite how far that might be. As an alien mail order bride, she might finally find a happy home among the orcs—maybe with the mighty crusher with his big hands, gentle touch, and deep, dark gaze?
But weird whispers in the night warn of betrayal, and it seems dating and mating are more explosively dangerous than they ever believed. Now a fortune—along with their future—is slipping through their fingers. The orcs and their wife-mates must hold on tight or they'll lose the DeepWander and their last chance at a love brighter than the stars.

Customer Reviews
Im an ARC reader for Elsa Jade, This is my review of Crush!
I’ve gotten away from books written in third person, IE he said instead of the I said in 1st POV. But I have to say Elsa Jade wrote a great book! My only gripe was that I was taken from the story some by having to look some things up since she used large words and technical terms that went above my head, which normally doesn’t happen lol since I read about a book a day and have a wide grasp of worldly and mental things. But I digress, back to the book review!!! >_>
I love the strangeness of the hero! He’s an orc but. unlike any orc I’ve seen or read about. What a refreshing in-depth world Elsa Jade has built. The way Elsa described the ship and the things inside it was out of this world! Pin intended lol.
I especially loved Ollie! Omg he was absolutely adorable! His antics really made the book fun. I enjoyed reading about Ghost in the Graveyard, what a neat game that’s sorta like hide and seek but not. As for the female heroine Adeline, she was sweet and timid at first but fiercely protective of her son! I cracked up at the way Elsa described her shoes in the beginning. I won’t spoil the surprise but be prepared for hilarity. By the end of the book Adeline was as strong as steel and finally ready to grab life and love by the horns and never let go.
All in all a throughly enjoyable book that will keep you interested from start to finish and have you chomping at the bit for the rest of the series!!!
