About The Book

Leah has one goal in life: to find a new planet for the humans ineligible to be Alphan mates. When the trading ship she purchased a berth on docks with a scout ship, her lack of ability to tell the difference between Alphans and Xyrans gets her into trouble.

Unwilling to leave the human with the vulnerable trade ship, Nalan immediately offers her a new place with them, knowing this chance to bond with a human woman might be their only one.

As captain of the Zyzan, Gelar’s primary concern is making sure Xyran pirates can’t flank Alphan space, along with enjoying the year alone with his mate Nalan. To find a human this far out should have been impossible, and yet her ability to survive on the poisonous ship just to make a living intrigues them both. Humans aren’t allowed to leave Earth without an Alphan mate. Will her dreams doom the three of them?

The Review

Jade Black writes one heck of a heroine in Isolation. Black has definitely written this story in this time of #bodypositivity and I for one was happy to read it. Leah is dealing with the cards life has handed to her, but not only that, she is trying to save mankind. Mind you this is all single-handedly in an unknown arena and in a hostile environment. Guts, perseverance, and patience is what Black has written for our Leah.

Black then provides us with some lovely entertainment in the form of Gelar and Nalan. All I can say is, “Hot.” These scenes are steamy and then Black adds Leah to the couple and “I need a fan, please!”

If this is what Black considers Isolation, I am doing it all wrong (laugh). Everyone should have to do their self-isolation this way. Luckily we can with Leah, Gelar, and Nalan.

This is a #bodypositive story.

The Reviewer

Lover, Dreamer…and I am still figuring it out. I have been writing with purpose since I was 12-years-old. I started with bad poetry that I actually still have and sadly can quote on occasion. I have lists all around my house. Lists of what I want to read. Lists of what I want to write. Lists of authors I should check out. Lists of books that people have told me about. Then there are lists about music, movies, web-series…well you get it. Too many lists (laugh). she/Her, Writer, Veteran, Activist, Peace.

Summary: Eugenia was born to privilege in the Ratna clan, nobility famed for their alchemical jewel production. Eugenia’s a talented alchemist herself—but the patriarchy insists her less able brother is the heir to the family secrets and property. As if that weren’t insult enough, an accidentally public tryst with another woman means Genie is shunned by polite society altogether. Enter the gorgeous Lord Oliver Plumtree, scion of one of the oldest alchemical families in Chrysopoeia and master of the foreboding Waldgrave Abbey. But Lord Oliver is actually Olivia, and on the lookout for a wife—one who requires an escape from the same crushing social mores that have forced Olivia to masquerade as her own long-dead brother to keep her family’s estate intact. Genie and Liv seem a perfect match from the get-go, and things heat up quickly between them. But before they can carry off their marriage of convenience, Waldgrave Abbey reveals more secrets. Jealous Plumtree relatives and Liv’s association with the Secret Society of Alchemiya, rumored to be a dark and sinister arm of the patriarchy, might just ruin Genie and Liv’s chance at their unlikely happily ever after.

Summary: Forty-five-year-old English professor Nathan Qells is very good at making people feel important. What he’s not very good at is sticking around afterward. He’s a nice guy; he just doesn’t feel things the way other people do. So even after all the time he’s spent taking care of Michael, the kid across the hall, he doesn’t realize that Michael’s mob muscle uncle and guardian, Andreo Fiore, has slowly been falling in love with him. Dreo has bigger problems than getting Nate to see him as a potential partner. He’s raising his nephew, trying to leave his unsavory job, and starting his own business, a process made infinitely more difficult when a series of hits takes out some key underworld players. Still, Dreo is determined to build a life he can be proud of—a life with Nate as a cornerstone. A life that is starting to look like exactly what Nate has been seeking. Unfortunately for Dreo—and for Nate—the last hits were just part of a major reorganization, and Dreo’s obvious love for Nate has made him a target too.
