Gemmina Nayar is a "retrieval specialist," a fancy term for high level corporate bounty hunter, and she is one of the best. A sense-enhanced, level-seven bounty hunter, she receives an exclusive invitation to track a dangerous criminal on private property. The tropical planetoid would be the perfect place to release her inner tigress, but finds the bounty already captured.

Syan is a Kironian, one of the off-limits alien races and he is gorgeous, rugged and all male. There are many things the hunter doesn't know about this man ... even wearing an electronic silence collar he is dangerous, especially to her. The Kironian's saliva holds pheromones that can turn an indifferent woman into a willing mate. A simple kiss or a bite could be sabotage to her mission.

Then the mission turns lethal as Gemmina realizes she has been tricked into bringing in the wrong man. When they crash into the forbidding jungle they must work together to survive but can they?

FORSAKEN REALMS is a well written, action filled sci-fi romance that was really hard to put down. Gemmina and Syan start out as enemies but as the pages are turned we watch as they grow closer. Syan "forces" a mating on her but tries to be a gentleman having decided he was wrong and wants her to be his because it is her desire. Gemmina is a kick-butt bounty hunter however when it comes to love she is a novice, but when Syan backs pedals she steps up. It was captivating watching these two dance around each other. As they journey toward each other, there are many twists and turns they must face because nothing including their coming together is by chance. I found FORSAKEN REALMS a good book, easy to read and written in a way that gives the readers imagination free reign.
