OMG. I literally stayed up to 4 am in the morning to finish this book because I couldn't put it down. I cried during parts of it, and smiled happily during others. Sometimes even both. I loved the story even when it broke my heart.

Lana was one of the Original Eight human women captured by the Primarian men. She was caught by General Trask, and then became his mate. It seemed like everything was going really well. They were happy, they were falling madly in love, but then, things started conspiring against them. Lana overheard someone telling Trask that he should get another mate, she started being very ill, and all sorts of other pressures seemed to be sabotaging their relationship. So, she did what she thought was best. She left.

That, right there, that was devastating to me. They seemed to be so happy and then boom. That was the first time I cried. They seemed like the perfect couple to me, so that happening was just so terrible. But, then things would happen that would almost make me happy and then things that were terrible and even made me mad. My emotions were honestly all over the place, and it wasn't because I was up all night reading this. Maddie Taylor really sent me on a roller coaster with this one. I thought her last Primarian book was intense, but it was nothing compared to this. I hope that Maddie doesn't keep us waiting forever for the next parts of the story, because there are so many other women and so many other men that we can see. I think I know who the next one is going to be, so I'm looking forward to seeing if I'm right. ( )

ARC BOOK REVIEW
Release Date-3/5/18

So doing my usual trick of reading things backwards I started " Defying The General".
And all-though I would probably suggest a smoother experience reading this from the start of the series.
This can be read in my opinion as a stand-alone as all the components are there and it does explain things fully.
So this runs parallel with previous instalments and right from the get-go I was hooked.
And apart from the prologue that initially confused me (until events were eventually clarified).
I found this super easy to follow and get lost in.
This had such likeable characters, great imagination and fantastic world building.
Anyone that knows me knows I'm a goner for anything alien and though these ET's were very human looking I forgave that on account of there barbarian chest beating masculinity.
You'd be like a kid in a sweet shop here with all this male yumminess and testosterone even with all the spanking and dominance shit.
I so wouldn't mind complying for the luscious General Trask, just saying.
Trask was lovely a bit archaic in his views on the opposite sex but I forgave him as this was the Primarian way.
Lana was also a sweetie, a trifle simple in her belief system and easily manipulated but she was also harmless and most importantly she was kind.
She made stupid decisions, but at heart, her reasonings were sound and were done for what she perceived as good so that made it more understandable.



Lana would definitely be the sort of girl that would do the obviously stupid crap in a horror movie that would so get her killed.



You know, the one you'd be screaming at your TV screen too.
NO DON'T DO IT!!!



I really did enjoy "Defying The General" so much more than I was initially expecting.
I was transfixed throughout.
I ummed and Awed over my rating with this, whether to give this a four or a five star.
I eventually went with a five as though I had some slight niggles this kept my attention from start to finish and was one I couldn't put down.
"Defying The General" was told In dual POV and was a fabulous addition to its genre.
If you like your sci-fi romance give this series a go, it is an action-packed sexy ride with a surprisingly deep romance (despite the initial insta-love) at its centre.
I absolutely adored "Defying The General".
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Defying The General" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
