An alien warrior, a kidnapped mate, and a traitor waiting to take everything from them both…

Wesley: I’ve always loved space. Give me Star Trek over Lord of the Rings any day. Since I was a kid, all I’ve wanted is to explore the great beyond, to boldly go and all that jazz. And with my feet firmly stuck on Earth, the way I reach for the stars is through developing video games. The biggest issue there? Well, I can’t keep a job beyond one project.

But all that staring at the night sky finally gets me somewhere when a tractor beam drops down from the sky in the Appalachian mountains and drags me up into an incredible spaceship full of big, scary, delicious-looking alien warriors. I’ve always fantasized about seeing the universe, but the reality—a handsy, grinning warrior—is so much more than I bargained for.

Jax: I have a problem—I am the son of Zul the Proeliator, greatest Thorzi warrior, and I have had no chance to honor my legacy on the battlefield. When our people were dying out, they took human mates and produced a generation of hybrid children. But the hybrid sons of the planet Thorzan are protected, privileged, and wasted. All my life, I have been companion and protector to Prince Kaelum instead of a proper warrior.

And now my enemies have come to believe that a younger generation of spoiled hybrids makes Thorzan ripe for invasion. When attack comes, it’s closer to home than expected, and I may be forced to choose between duty and protecting the beautiful man whose bright mind has caught my heart.

By popular cowriting duo Sam Burns & W.M. Fawkes, Declared is an M/M SciFi alien romance with a hybrid warrior trying to prove his worth, a lost human looking for stable ground, and battles that will prove sometimes, the only thing a warrior can do when tested is survive.

    Sam lives in North Carolina with husband and cat, which is even less exciting than it sounds, so she's not sure why you're still reading this.

    She specializes in LGBTQIA+ fiction, usually with a romantic element. There's sometimes intrigue and violence, usually a little sex, and almost always some swearing in her work. Her writing is light and happy, though, so if you're looking for a dark gritty reality, you've come to the wrong author.

I really loved the personalities of Jax and Wesley. These two are both characters that drew me into feeling connected to their story and invested in its outcome. I also thought the plot itself was well scripted; It kept me enthralled to the extent that I had trouble convincing myself to adhere to my bedtime and body-clock.

Wesley is a talented software developer, working on video games. But his work is mostly on short term contracts that never turn into full time jobs, so he lives from contract to contract with hardly anything saved up and no idea how he's going to pay the mortgage on the house he inherited from his parents. In a way, getting kidnapped by big blue aliens may be the best thing to happen to the young man who has always dreamed of exploring the stars. The reality is less appealing when Wes finds himself locked in a cell in a lab most of the time. But when he helps engineer an escape for himself and the other humans from Earth, going home doesn't appeal. Instead, helping prince Kaelum's guardian Jax act as a decoy so the rest of the humans can escape sounds more interesting.

“Declared” roughly parallels the events of the first book of the series, Captured, but the events that lead up to Jax and Wes taking off to act as decoys are just skimmed over, so you really should read the first book before taking on this one.

Wesley appeared in the previous volume, but we didn't get to know much about him. In this book, we get half the story from his point of view, so we get to know more about his background and why a life with the Thorzen is so appealing to him. Having spent most of my working career in technology, I found Wes a very relatable character. He may be a bit of a chiché geek-type, but in this case the stereotype is not without a pretty solid foundation.

Jax played a bit bigger role in the first book, where we got to know him as a bit of a joker, but clearly protective of his friend the prince. We get to know him a lot better in this book, where we find he has a serious side, especially where Wesley is concerned. Jax doesn't quite have the same doubts about his capabilities that Kaelum demonstrated in the previous volume, but he is still very aware of the expectations society has of him and what that may mean for any romantic possibilities.

If you've read the first book, then the “big surprise” in this story probably won't be much of a surprise. We do get some more details when the revelation about the special nature of humans and mixed Thorzen happens.

In the first book we learn that the Thorzan and the Zathki have been at war with each other for a long time. While creating a diversion so the prince could take the humans back to Earth, Jax and Wesley are fired upon and have to crash land on a nearby icy moon and the home of the Zathki. All his life Jax was taught that the Zathki are the enemy. What will happen if they find him on their turf and how will he protect Wesley? Wesley was drawn to Jax since he was abducted from Earth. He wants to help with the diversion but didn't realize he would get marooned on an icy wasteland. I really enjoyed Jax and Wesley's story. I liked how their relationship developed from just trying to survive to love. I also liked how Wesley kept surprising Jax by proving humans aren't weak and soft. Truths are also revealed as we learn that the Zathki aren't who the Thorzan think they are.

I liked this one more than the first, partly because I adored Wesley and Jax. Wesley is such a nerd and I loved him sitting in the captains chair with a “make it so.” And Jax made me smile the entire time.

The world building in this book was strong. We learn who the Zathki are and I was surprised because it was not as they appeared in the first book. Jax and Wes had a lot to overcome together, and in the process they are bringing two peoples together.

I look forward to the third book, though how Vorian can be redeemed I don’t know.

This book pretty much picks up were the last book left of Jax and Wesley have been shot down by Crux on a planet built of solid ice it's also the home of there enemy. At first there only concern is getting warm and trying to fix there damaged vessel then they are discovered by there enemy but not everything is as Jax believes. There is also a developing tension between Jax and Wes there chemistry is instant but Jax dosen't believe Wes is gor him hes only a hybrid but when Jax almost dies its Wes who saves him with a power he didn't know he had. So what happens when Jax people come looking for him well you have to read it to find out that part. This book was a little slower then the first the danger wasn't as intense but the plot was still good.

I was allowed to read this book threw the Kindle Unlimited program and this is my honest review.

A really great second book from this series! It is a book that must be read in order as only quick snapshots are given of the events that lead to Jax and Wesley on their doomed spaceship ride as those events happened in the first book. Almost everything else happens concurrently to the first book, during the time when the rest of the humans take their round trip to Earth. We get to find out what happened to Jax and Wesley such that they weren't in Thorzi when everyone got back what revelations they had.

It turns out that, no big surprise, the two got into more trouble than expected and actually crashed on a moon and are stranded. It has a little bit of trope things going on (stranded, sleeping together for heat) but that only kicks things off as much more is actually discovered. There has always been talk of the great enemy of the Thorzi and the description has been vague enough to make it unclear, other than constant mentions of a swarm, which evokes insect like images. As such the actuality of the enemy race is startling, and the revelations of what has changed the war even more so. Jax and Wesley find themselves at the centre of all this and it makes a big change for the Thorzi and the humans.

It was really enjoyable how the relationship dynamic was so different between these two men. Unlike in the first book there is no 'winning' Wesley, he actually is interested in Jax and chooses to go with him. Jax is equally interested and being stranded gives him the opportunity to explore that. More of the issue is the fact of how first generation hybrids aren't supposed to be with humans, followed by Jax's own fear of mage power. Jax is gallant and humorous and connects with Wesley perfectly, but he also wants to protect all the time. Wesley is no shrinking violet and while he appreciates the protection he is also willing to fight to be an equal partner and prove when he can protect himself. It is work to figure themselves out but it was a very enjoyable read!

Very curious how things will all wrap up as the revelations just keep coming in this series and it will be great to see how it all ends!

I read the first book in this series about Kaelum & Lucas and enjoyed it so much I pre-ordered the second book months before it’s release, which appeared on my kindle today. I’ve already (just) finished the book as I found it impossible to put down once I started reading it.

I can say with all honesty....I thoroughly loved the second book more than the first. Jax & Wesley’s story is somewhat different to Kaelum & Lucas one, although they do have the same protagonist...and a surprising frenemy later on. It also helps that even though this is a romance, not a lot of pages in the book (very few actually) is focused on the sexual nature of the relationship and instead the emotional bond between the main characters takes center stage, in addition to survival and building trusts. The few intimate scenes are exactly that, intimate and emotion laden ...and in my opinion perfect for this book. I would definitely recommend this as an excellent read.

I have just pre-ordered the third book and can’t wait for Vorian & Beau’s story.

Well, well, well… settle down and prepare to be transported. Vivid Sci-Fi fantasy adventure romance. By turns tense, action packed and heartwarming. Part of a series but the books can be read out of sequence and standalone. (Best in order but easy to pick up).

I really liked that this book slightly overlapped book 1, so we got the backstory for Wesley and Jax quickly before their story really kicked off. I loved getting to know them better, and seeing their chemistry, but I also loved that we got to know more about the Thorzi history, and their war with the Zathki. I was definitely not expecting the twists and reveals, so that added a great layer to the story. Can't wait for Beau and Vorian's story next!
