An intergalactic romance between a Terran and a Wakanrean seems to be an interesting plot and I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Kuaron and Dina’s relationship will pan out given the difficult challenges.

I felt a little blasé about this book when first reading about Dina’s move to another world. I started to enjoy more when seeing Dina’s open-mindedness compared to others at the party but then was completely hooked by the time she left the party. One book I have to finish reading.

'Official Review: Alien Bonds' by Carmen Webster Buxton reflects on the engaging plot of the romantic fiction story for readers. It brings to our attention the bright and remarkable aspects of the author's work. The point that this is a story of an intergalactic romance between a Terran and a Wakanrean is worth mentioning in the review. Another useful point in the review is that the story's major themes include family, friendship, and traditional values. The story shows how prejudice can cause racial groups to have an agenda to cause harm. Learning that the story is interesting and picturesque was nice!

Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed the author's style of writing and also how she described everything. Another plus was the conversations for me too. I rarely like a science fiction book, especially if it is for adults, but I enjoyed the friendship, family, and romance part of the sample, which did surprise me. So, after reading your review I have decided to take a chance on it and add it to my list of books to read. Sometimes I like to broaden my horizons, too!

I'm thrilled to see such a glowing review of "Alien Bonds"! The way you describe the vivid settings and the depth added by the multiple viewpoints really highlights the author's skill in creating an immersive world. It's intriguing to hear about the novel approach to introducing alien terms and their definitions, making the Wakanrean culture accessible to readers. The themes of family, friendship, and traditional values, juxtaposed with the challenges of prejudice and societal norms, seem to resonate well within the storyline. Your review certainly makes a compelling case for giving this book a read, especially for those of us who appreciate science fiction with a strong narrative and complex characters.

In this sci-fi fantasy, the depiction of romantic aspects between two different aliens deep into intergalactic space seems captivating, and I would love to read this intriguing story.

One aspect of the book that stood out to me is the book's cover page. The colors are so well blended you'd pick up this book to read without checking its description to know what it's about. Dina goes to the doctor and learns that she may be pregnant. The unexpected turn of events makes this book a worthwhile read. Congratulations on being BOTD.

“Alien Bonds” by Carmen Webster Buxton is a fascinating “intergalactic romance between a Terran and a Wakanrean”. Dina was hired as a junior chemist and had to move to Wakahreo. She was set up for a blind date for a very important party. She attends the party when she leaves, she notices an angry Wakanrean following her. He asks her to go home with him and wakes up at Kuaron Du’s home in the morning and is told that she must stay with him during the mating process, called shahgunrah, she agrees and becomes inseparable from Kuaron. Sadly, Kuaron learns that the union is unacceptable for many Wakanreans. She goes to a doctor and learns she is pregnant and two armed guards take her for a competency hearing and to determine if she should be punished for touching a Wakanrean. This is a brief summary of a very intimate story that is hard to put down. One will need to read the book to learn the intimate details. Very good review.

I was astonished at the plot, I mean who follows an angry man home when he grabs you by the hand and commands you to go home with him. I believe even the aliens should have some form of decorum. Since I'm no fan of sci-fi and fantasy novels, I'll pass on this one but congratulations on BOTD!!

Alien Bonds by Carmen Webster Buxton is a book of two beings from desperate planets falling for each other in the Wakanrean world. I read a lot of alien romance and sometimes it can get repetitive. Alien Bonds is nothing like that! The world building is fascinating and the relationships are complex and real. This is the first book I have read from this author but it won’t be the last!

Finally, a sci-fi novel aimed at adults and not teens. You sound like you really enjoyed it, 5 out of 5 stars, and only a single error. I'm going to add this to my list based on your recommendation; thank you.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting romance novel set between two individuals from very different alien races that somehow become inseparable. It might be worth a look to see if they can overcome any struggles that they might have. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
