Joan and the Juggernaut by Honey Phillips

He eventually helps her bathe (after Polly asks him to help her). Polly was never raped by his alien race so she is actually comfortable around him. So Njkall (the leader of the caves from Izzie's book and who helped the doctor escape the secret lab) decides that Polly is his mate.

So she frequently cries, screams, hides in corners, refuses to bathe and walks around naked and dirty. Then Polly a human slave, is having post traumatic stress disorder. So a lot of the book is them trying to escape the mines after a cave in. At one point the hero tells her all of these people aren't going to fit on my ship. Then they end up rescuing some other slaves. The hero is trying to rescue the human slave and goes undercover. This book had a really different feel than the earlier books. More humans need to be rescued and find their HEA? YOU BET I'LL BE READING! I've enjoyed this series since the first book and I'm all in for whatever the future brings. Also things that involve Varga adjusting his rescue plan to account for a few non-human slaves that need his help. Varga makes her hope there might be more for her and, well, THINGS HAPPEN. She might have a not-so-great job, but it's better than the alternative.

As much as she might dream of a different life, she tries to be realistic. I mean, he might be big and brawny and downright terrifying sometimes, but he has that mile-wide noble streak that won't let him walk away when things go bad.įrankly, Joan's not in a terrible position (which isn't saying much since she's a slave in a precarious position on an awful mining world where only her ability to cook has kept her out of the depths) when Varga saunters in. When Varga set out (at the end of the last book) to track down humans who have been enslaved, OF COURSE you knew he'd end up with his HEA.
