Temel (How the Aliens Were Won Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Honey Phillips (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (1,762)

A proud alien, a desperate widow, and a misfit family…

Temel was raised to place duty above all else. Even though the war has ended, his duty is to the warriors who need him rather than his own desires. Until he encounters a curvy, spirited female who makes him long for things he never thought to have.

After her husband’s death, Ida struggles to provide for her rebellious stepdaughter and two small children. When a huge, intimidating alien warrior rescues them from an unexpected storm, he insists on helping her. Despite her reluctance, the more time they spend together, the more she begins to care for the kind, lonely male.

But Temel has his warriors to protect and Ida has responsibilities of her own - how can he ask her to take a chance on a warrior who has nothing left to offer except his devotion?

Each book in this series features a different couple and may be read as a standalone, but the books do link together. This sweet and steamy series is intended for mature readers.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today bestselling author Honey Phillips writes steamy science fiction romance about hot alien warriors and the Earth women they can’t resist. From abductions to invasions, the ride might be rough, but the end always satisfies.

Honey wrote and illustrated her first book at the tender age of five. Her writing has improved since then. Her drawing skills, unfortunately, have not. She loves writing, reading, traveling, cooking, and drinking champagne - not necessarily in that order.

5 out of 5 stars
Loved the story
Loved the storyline and all the characters within. Neither Temel nor Ida is looking for a relationship but when he rescues her and her children after a storm, the attraction can not be ignored. Her family is in dire financial crisis and Temel and his men offer them living arrangements in exchange for housekeeping services. It’s a well written story that shows the love that develops between Temel and Ida. Her young son Tommy is a typical five-year-old and is a great addition to the story. I enjoyed the story and would highly recommend it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and are voluntarily leaving a review.

    Another visit to the old fashioned town of Wainwright, and I am Delighted !!!

    Ida is a widow with three children, and finds that her husband has left her practically penniless. Even doing sewing or alterations for some of the women in town isn't much of a help on her rent !!!
    She is going to need affordable housing soon.
    Temel and his group of former soldiers, have found themselves owning a large plot of land just outside Wainwright. He hopes that the fresh air and hard work will do them all good since the senseless war that they fought in. A fresh start for them all !

    When Ida and Temel come across each other , long awakened desires they thought long dorment give them hope for the future.
    But each of them have secrets . Will they be able to explore this new situation, or fall back into old patterns ?

    Gotta admit, I smiled through the reading of this book . I am always happy to be back in Wainwright. These stories are about ex military males who have been to war and back . And the wonderfully strong women of old fashioned Wainwright , where gossip is a state of life. Each woman in her own way , are just as wounded as the males. Each story different, yet part of the whole. I love how these stories weave together as the story moves forward. Love reading about old friends from previous books !! Already looking forward to the next in this series !!!

    I enjoyed Temel and Ida’s alien-human, fated mates, forced proximity, older MCs romance. The book had a good mix of sweet, spice, real life issues, and feels. Ida is a human widowed single mom who lives on the planet of Cresca. She is being forced out of her current housing because it is too expensive and goes to look at a local farm only to find it is not safe to live in. The farms surrounding her potential new home are being used to help alien warriors heal and move past their battle scars. Temel is an alien from Kember who was a Commander during the war and is now “in charge” of the network of farms and the warriors who will heal there. When Ida and her children are caught in a violent storm while looking at the property, Temel saves them from the rising water and brings them back to his ranch to wait until the waters recede. There is instant attraction and chemistry between Temel and Ida and he offers to allow the small family to stay. However, Ida is hesitant to make any impulsive decisions. Their relationship develops naturally as they spend time together and get to know each other. The story was well written and included characters with dimension and an engaging storyline with sweet moments, steamy scenes, alien physiology and cultures, loyal friends, painful pasts, fated mates, coincidences, light danger, and laughs. 3.5 stars.

    This was a great story showing how if you really try you can make any type of blended family work. I applaud how calm and understanding Ida was and how she protected Dora. In so many families that could have gone very badly. Temel and his responsibility to his males was also commendable. I loved how they didn't fight their very real attraction from the start. It made everything so much better. Great book!

    Ida’s life to date has been severely lacking in the love department. I am thrilled that meeting Temel gives her a chance to experience something entirely different. They each have responsibilities that cannot be ignored, but there’s no holding these two back, they are a perfect match! This is a refreshingly heated romance with a bit of mystery toward the end that piques my interest for another story. Fine entertainment!

    Temel and Ida

    Widowed Ida is looking for a new home with her son and stepdaughter, when a sudden storm leaves them stranded.
    Temel has always born responsibility for those under his care, and hearing that some travellers might need help sends him out to their rescue.
    Ida is happy to be rescued by the big, blue alien, but can they allow their attraction to go further?

    This is the second story in the series, and features the head alien of this new rescue operation!
    Temel is a male who feels responsible for the males under his command, and he is determined to try and get them enjoying life again.
    Ida has seen some tough times, but she is a loving and giving woman who might just be what Temel needs.
    Enjoy some cameo appearances from the Seven Brides series, as well as the book before this one, in this sweet and sexy alien romance. Honey Phillips fans, as well as SFR with alien hero fans will enjoy this read.

    Ida and Temel make a great couple! They both have unhappy pasts, but once they meet, the future is looking bright…and spicy! Each has responsibilities they need to juggle so they can be together, and that juggling gets complicated. Who hasn’t experienced a moment where you wonder if you can juggle all of the situations life throws at you? Found families are a constant in a Honey Phillips’ book, and no one handles them better! As Temel says, “That means you have lots of love to go around.” As someone who is part of a found family, I appreciate how authentically she treats these situations! Is everything smooth and easy? Not at all, but that makes it even more relatable. Luckily, Ida and Temel get their happily ever after, and it is worth the journey! The next book is about Naffon and Dora, and I can’t wait to see Naffon jump through hoops to win Dora’s heart!

    Ida, a widow, was left destitute by her husband. Her father, before he died, had left her very wealthy and unfortunately had chosen her husband for her.
    Ida was struggling to look after her three kids. Desperate times calls for desperate measures and so a new home had to be found as she could no longer afford to pay for the one she now lived in. Temel, an Alien, saved her sons life as well her daughters.

    And I am delighted to say how much I enjoyed watching Temel fall for his little family of waterlogged loves. The way he helped rescue them and helped them find their feet was delightful and so him. Ida takes no charity or no prisoners and loved the way she set the males right and had them eating out the palm of her hands with kindness and sweetness.
    Knew Temel would never ever judge her daughter and loved the way he kept their secret and helped show her son a good role model.
    Love all the aliens that Honey Phillips writes about....but I think Temel is my favourite so far. But that ending! I need to know what happens!!!
