About this ebook

Cat-shifter Pirate Prince Jarek sails the high sky in his spaceship doing as he pleases… that is until intergalactic drug dealers take his pilot hostage. But the rescue mission goes wrong when, instead of a crewman, he liberates a woman who he believes is desperately trying to escape her captors. 

Jarek soon discovers he unwittingly kidnaped a princess.

Princess Mei has just learned her future from a psychic, and it seems fate is giving her in marriage to a neighboring ruler. She will do her duty, but first, she wants to experience an adventure. When the alien pirate comes to steal, she knows precisely which alpha male she wants that adventure to be with.

Ratings and reviews

I think this is one of my favorite stories out of the Var Princes by Ms. Pillow. It was definitely different because 'Jarek' was the only prince to actually tell Mei how he felt and try to get her to be with him, while all the other brothers tried to fight their feelings for their mate the whole time. Mei was actually the one to deny Jarek even though she did love him. The story was interesting and esciting and drew me in from the very start. It was steamy and I really liked the characters even though we had already met a lot of them before in previous 'Var' stories. I cannot wait to read the stories about Jarek's crew and what happens with their love lives as soon as i get the chance.! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This author is actually one of my favorite authors. I have found myself recently devouring every book from her that I can get. This is her Lords of the Var series. This is a side world that’s in her Qurilixen World. The lords of the Var are shifters, cat shifters. Most of them do tend to be very arrogant but when they meet their mate everything changes. This is the story of Prince Jarek Who spends most of his time being a space pirate, yes think guardians of the galaxy if you need to. The female lead is Princess Mei. She has recently learned that she was going to be forced into a marriage she wanted. She doesn’t want to disgrace her family so she is willing to go along with their plans but not until she has one last adventure before she stuck in a life that she will hate. Cat shifters don’t believe in love. But when he accidentally kidnapped her he finds that he has a bit more off than he can chew. Sparks fly because she has already decided that she wants him to be her last little adventure. The problem is can he give her up? I may have had some problems with the female lead at first but she grew on me as I read the story.

Cat-shifter Pirate Prince Jarek unwittingly kidnaped a princess when he thought he was rescuing her Whilst fate is giving her in marriage to a neighbouring ruler, Princess Mei assumed this was what was meant by the psychic prediction and despite accepting that, she feels that she must stand up against the pirates. This was a good all round story, though I found it less engrossing that others in the collection. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
