Razor's Traitorous Heart: The Alliance Paperback – November 20, 2015

Razor's Traitorous Heart is a great sci-fi romance. It is much, much better than Hunter's Claim (book 1). This is a stand alone book and can easily be read without reading the first book.Lately, I've been disappointed in some of Ms. Smith's books. Star's Storm, Jo's Journey, and Cosmos' Promise were boring to me due to the lack of romance. They were decent sci-fi stories but the romance was practically non-existent. Krac's Firebrand was better but still disappointing to me. The romance took forever to start and then the story ended with a cliffy. Then there was Hunter's Claim. It had started out with so much promise and then just fizzled for me (the romance). So, it was with great trepidation that I decided to purchase this book (having been so disappointed lately). I'm so glad I did! Ms. Smith, you have redeemed yourself! This was a great romance! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!*********SPOILERS**********In Razor's Traitorous Heart we actually have a romance! Yipee!!!!!!! Razor is a powerful man. He's High Chancellor of the Alliance and the Commander of the Trivator warriors. He is a huge (nearing 7 ft), muscular, warrior that other's fear. He first meets our h when his helicopter crashes and she rescues him. Now, I'm typically NOT a fan of the h rescuing the H but it was written so well that I really liked the scene. Razor is immediately attracted to the h and quickly realizes she is his "amate" or mate. I LOVED that he recognized her as his amate so quickly and she was oblivious! Due to his injuries, he loses consciousness and the h disappears after making sure he received help.Razor then spends his time searching for the h (because she's HIS!) and catching glimpses of her in his binoculars. The h "feels" him watching her and decides to confront him about it and tell him to stop. When this scene occurs, he can smell another male on her and is jealous! He doesn't like it at all, growls and proceeds to "mark" her with his scent by rubbing his nose on her jaw and neck. I loved it! It was very sexy and well done.Shortly thereafter, the h escapes him to warn her brother and she is injured. The H rescues her (yay!), takes her to command headquarters for medical care and proceeds to "mark" or tattoo her as his amate. I loved that Ms. Smith included this scene in the book rather than skipping over it like she did in Hunter's Claim. It was interesting to read about how the mark (tattoo) was done. At command headquarters, their relationship developed into an intimate relationship (about 50% into the story). Then the h overhears the H and (justifiably) decides to escape to tell her brother of his plans. Her escape seemed very logical given the circumstances. The H, of course (yay again!), had to chase after the h. (I love it when the H has to chase the h!) Yet again, the H rescues our h and then soon they head off world.**********END SPOILERS**********There was just so much that I loved about this story. I LOVED the H! (And h). I loved that the H recognized his amate right away and pursued her. I loved that the lovemaking didn't occur until 50% into the story (because it adds tension) and the "I love you's" didn't occur until 75%. I absolutely despise, DESPISE it when couples have great sex and then magically profess undying love without any relationship building and I really, really, REALLY despise it when the h becomes a simpering idiot and loses her backbone after being intimate with the H. This didn't occur here. (Thank you again, Ms. Smith!) And finally, I loved the romance. There was an actual romance here and it was terrific!

Okay, this book took me for a bit of a loop because I wasn't expecting it to be of a new character that wasn't introduced in the form of the Alien Trio from the first book. But it had my heart pounding, laughing and crying. But always on the edge wanting more. It took me less than 3 hours to read this book. It was really worth the purchase. And right now the friend who has recommended the series to me is wanting to beat the crap outta me cause I bought all the books that were out, but won't tell her a lick about any of the books 2-4. I mean if you like Aliens, Romance, and Sci-fi this is a book that covers it all, just like the others in this series. Give it a shot. Please! S.E. Smith is amazing.... Also, it is nice to see her tie the other books she has written into this series, making it really hard to not want to read those other books..... GENIUS! a way to up sell her other stories with suspense as well as a sweet, sweet plot throw.

I can not believe how drawn in to this series I am. This is the first time I have read SE Smith, and this is the second book in the series. I loved it. All the characters are amazing, from the earth people to the Warrior from another planet. I would suggest reading them in order, although this is the second, the first book gives a lot of insight into the story line. Kali is so strong, and an amazing girl, the perfect girl for Razor. How are they to come together when Razor's job is to decide if all the fighting among the humans in Chicago does not stop, he will level the city to let the humans start again .Kali's brother is head of one part of the city, can her brother work with Razor to stop the fighting, and also save Kali after she is taken by the other side? This book has everything. I had trouble putting it down, and I am going to star the next one right way.

Kali Parks rescues Razor when he crashes into some trees. Razor is the older brother of Hunter from bk1. Razor claims Kali as his Ameta wife.Kali is head of her brother Dustin's security. Her brother is in a rivalry with there old friend to claim and control Chicago.I liked Razor and Kali they have a sinuous adventurous romance. With Kali helping Razor to help Dagger whom we though was dead escape the fighting rings.Good quick read. Very good Audible narrations.

This is the second in S.E. Smith's Alliance series and has certain similarities to the first book. Like the first book the heroine is a tough smart survivor in a world that self destructed after first contact with aliens. This book takes place two years after the first book and six years after the aliens arrived. Chicago is divided between two rival gangs and is the last major city on the planet that needs to be pacified. Razor, who has leveled to the ground two other cities who failed to stop fighting, has come to Chicago to put an end to the fighting. Failing that he would level city to save it and put an end to the fighting. While flying over the city his helicopter is shot down. Kali Parks, the sister of one of the gang leaders, is in a position to save Razor before the helicopter makes its final plunge from near the top of the building where it crashed and she is hiding.Razor must somehow stop the fighting or he will be forced to destroy the city and anyone sill in it and at the same time find and save Kali for he cannot think straight without her. Kali must save the city, its inhabitants, her brother and deal with growing feelings for the alien who is the one that is threatening them.

Right OK I really confused. I honestly do not understand how this author keeps getting 5 star reviews. This is the second book of hers that I've tried, the first one I hated but thought perhaps it was just me and I didn't get on with the story. Well this is no different, how in the hell am I expected to believe that an alien who has already blown up Mexico because humans didn't meet his deadline, and has threatened to blow up Chicago with her brother in it, is actually going to get the girl in the end. I mean she hears that he's going to blow the place up and then in the next paragraph sleeps with the guy...... What?! I don't care how attracted to him u were, there's no chance he would be getting anywhere without some serious rethinking and even then it's doubtful seeing as he's just killed an entire city population of which there is bound to be women/children etc that are no part of this resistance. *huffs in frustration* thing is its not badly written it's just seriously unbelievable to the point that it's annoying that stuff like that is just written off as 'oh well so he killed a bunch of people, it's alright now that we' re getting it on'. Which brings me to the next problem, half the fun of these types of books are the steamy scenes. And this one is glaringly different in its lack of any type of steam whatsoever, I mean there's 'scenes' in the book....... They're just really bad and not at all steamy, I mean jeeze the first time they get into it he doesn't even 'prepare her' if u get my drift, he just goes straight for it and apparently that's just fine even though the girls a Virgin. Just.......... Really?! I know the guys supposed to be hot an all but unless he has magic powers I don't think that's happening I'm afraid. I stopped at around 73% and the books not that long to begin with, I've noticed alot lately that authors in general are putting more stock in the amount of books they publish on kindle rather than the substance in each one and I can't see it paying off for much longer, my list of decent authors is getting shorter and shorter.

I totally love all her books i finished it yesterday, and to give myself a refresher i read hunter's claim again first, which is the first book in the Alliance Series, which was no hardship believe me...when writing a review i never like to tell the story and spoil it for everyone else, all i will say, is that as soon as i finish one S E Smith, i'm looking online to find out when the next book in the series is coming back. i'm usually gutted that she takes a break in one series to go back to a different series or starts a completed new series, until i read it...lol...then i'm totally hooked all over again...i absolutely love her imagination, i started reading her late, but all it took was one book to take me back to her whole collection, which i now have. Susan please keep up the great writing.

Excellent second book.I have enjoyed this book. It runs great with the first and has the characters from the previous book also.The oldest brother Razor is the head of the alliance and is in need to get everything as normal as possible on earth before he goes home. One night his helicopter is followed by a missile which forces the pilot to crash. In comes Kali to rescue him from the wreckage.

Just like her other books Ms Smith delivers a strong storyline with great characters and lots of passion. This is the second book of the series and it is just as intriguing, exciting and romantic as the first one.The main protagonists are strong warriors, loyal to their causes and eventually to each other. Brilliant interactions and hot sexual chemistry make this story so captivating. Loved the humour, loved the emotional angst, just loved it!If you are into Sci-fi romance or just like a good romantic tale, you should indulge yourself..........go on you deserve a great book.

The author continues to deliver. Blitzed through the book. Have bought the others i the series and they are all as good. Will definitely be purchasing other series thatthe author has written.
