 Reviewer: Dolce Amore

Audra Cantwell’s world is turned upside down when she wakes one morning to discover that everything that she thought about herself is a lie. Her mother is her aunt, her father is her uncle and her brothers are her cousins. She isn’t even human, but a princess from another planet! And the brother of her betrothed, Darius Coridian, has come to take her there, to the planet Centauri from the system Proximus. Her parents are killed moments after confirming the truth of her heritage: she is the heir to the throne. Darius whisks her away and transports her to his starship high in orbit above the planet, duty bound to bring her safely home.

Darius has found his lifemate in the Princess Dayanara.

The one person he could not deny, who made his blood boil and who only had to touch him to scald his soul.

Still, to save their planet from war, she has to marry to his brother. 

However, the one who killed her parents wants Audra dead too. Despite  their escape from Earth, he attacks them on the way to the  planet Centauri. She soon discovers that he is her uncle and he wants her dead so he can take the throne. 

We still have  plenty of twists; Audra discovers that her betrothed is ambushed and presumed dead, she is kidnapped, rescued, and she and Darius find his brother … and more. 

The storyline was interesting, the book was good, but Ms Cynthia Woolf has to add more feeling to the book. I read the  story as a spectator, without feeling any connection with the characters  of the story. It also needs a bit more reality; some of the scenes seemed a little unreal. 3.5 stars.
