Koviye
My people call me the Sex God, but I, Koviye of the Fellamana, am so much more. I read their every desire and satisfy them with a mere touch of my hands. I’m sworn to share my powers, and this thing humans call monogamy is biologically impossible for me, or so I thought until I met the human, Jenie, Lieutenant General in the rebellion against our mutual enemy determined to destroy us. Now, as though Jenie has some power over me, I cannot think of touching anyone but her.

Jenie
I’ve dreamt of Koviye every night since I landed on this sex planet where every breath I take is an aphrodisiac to my blood. I am not fully human, I am part alien, and the planet has awakened my body’s instinct to find a mate. The next person I have sex with I will form an attachment for life, which is impossible for the Sex God. I have a rebellion to lead. Mating a polyamorous alien would ruin me. I can never have him, no matter how much I burn for him.

But I need his help. My best friend was taken prisoner by our enemies, the Ten Systems, and the only person with a ship fast enough to save her is Koviye. And all those dreams I’ve been having about him aren’t just dreams, he tells me. They’re real. He can dream walk, so if I can’t have him while I’m awake, at least I can have him in my dreams—as if that will ever be enough.

Each book in the Planet of Desire series is STANDALONE:* Toxic Desire* Captive Desire* Stolen Desire

I haven’t read the first two books in the Planet of Desire series but now I think I have to put my TBR on hold to circle back right away! As with most standalone series, Stolen Desire and the other two books can be read on their own but for maximum enjoyment you will want to start with Toxic Desire. ** I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

Sexy alien romances can be hit or miss for me but when I saw this cover on NetGalley I knew I wanted to read it. Throwing caution to the wind, I settled down to sink into what I was sure would be a smutty extravaganza. Lovett certainly didn’t disappoint on the steam factor but I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent world building. I felt like I had a solid understanding of the world/universe without reading the first two books. I wish there had been a bit more movement on the rebellion front but when I see the tag for erotica, I know that plot will take the backseat most times. Even without the plot movement, I was definitely there for Koviye.

I try to point out highlights in each of my reviews. This one is tough as I thoroughly enjoyed this book but since I have to pick… the gorgeous descriptions really made this book work for me. From the environment to the sexy intimate moments, Lovett employs vivid imagery that captured my imagination and made reading Stolen Desire a true pleasure. I will definitely be watching for more of Lovett’s work in the future.

Now, she writes a series of sci-fi erotic romances and enjoys trips to alien worlds to avoid earthly things, like day jobs and housework. When not reading romance with her cat, she’s busy writing sexy books, which may or may not involve sex planets. She’s a big fan of her husband who regards writing romance as far more important than practical things, like paychecks. Her favorite surprise in the world, or the universe, was finding out by some miracle other people want to read the same kind of stories she loves to write.
