I continue to look forward to ongoing stories in the Coletti Warlords' universe and thoroughly enjoy the light sci-fi romantic comedy style. I can definitely recommend these to others who want an easy and laugh out loud read along with an alien romance." Sophia, Goodreads

no choice but to go rogue - The Devil’s Pact (The Devil’s Revolver #3) by V. S. McGrath
