I've read just about everything that K. Webster has written and a few of Nicole Blanchard's books, so I was totally jazzed for this one. And with very good reason. It was so good. I mean, just soooooo good.

Breccan and his morts are the last 10 beings left on their planet until 2 of his morts bring back 5 human women in stasis. And miracle of miracles, they are compatible. Then Aria wakes up and Breccan goes a little crazy.

I felt so bad for Breccan and his morts. I mean, they totally broke my heart. The situation that they have found themselves in, through no fault of their own, is just devastating. I couldn't do what they do. And then Breccan and his UV addiction. Oh man.

I also feel so bad for Aria. I mean, she's been stuck in stasis with no clue as to what's going on and she wakes up in pain, and then some alien wanting to be with her. It has to be so terrifying for her to try and figure out what she needs to do. I don't blame her for being sad, scared, angry, or whatever else she may be feeling. She has every right to those feelings.

A lot of the problems that go on in this book are because two cultures are trying to get together and that is never easy, but they don't even really have a common place to start from, so it's even harder than it would be for 2 humans getting together from 2 cultures. So, there's a lot of problems around that.

This story is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes incredibly joyful, and sometimes incredibly frustrating, but always incredible. ( )

So I do love a bit of alien romance and this one for me delivered a really great start to this new series.
Such a highly imaginative endeavour this was: I adored the descriptive world building and overall alienness of the Morts they for me had almost a reptile feel to them with there forked tongues and paralysing venom.
I also really liked the unique vocabulary used throughout: it really added a nice touch to the whole story, made everything seem just a tad more exotic.
So this is the story of Breccan and Aria: Breccan Aloisius, the forgotten commander of the planet Mortuus: because of a past disaster his race and planet is all but decimated in numbers, down to only ten Morts and none of these survivors are females.
Aria of earth former party girl and actress: when Breccan's Morts intercept five cryo chambers from a passing vessel they feel like there prayers for salvation have finally been answered.
So Aria awakens in a strange place with no idea of where she is and it becomes very evident she is not on earth any longer.
Aria then realises that these scary looking aliens have an agenda and she along with the other females still in cryosleep are the sole hope for this dying planet's future.
So "The Forgotten Commander" is a breeding trope alien romance and I didn't even know that was an actual thing until I embarked upon this book.
its told from dual pov Breccan and Aria.
Aria though a tad highly strung at times seemed a highly pragmatic sort: making the best of things and able to see the bigger overall picture.
She will do what's necessary for her survival and I liked the fact she wasn't really despite her situation a whiner.
Breccan for me came across as such a sweetie he really was adorable in all his interactions with Aria and I couldn't help but warm to the sweetly protective vibe he outwardly portrayed.
This was also equally amusing and scorching hot in temperature.
I really enjoyed myself here and will definitely be reading the next in this series.
An observation though before I finish up here: Aria didn't seem to know how she had ended up in cryosleep at least that's the impression I got.
I was surprised this wasn't elaborated on further, maybe I just missed something or this is one explanation for a later date it just struck me as odd.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of The Forgotten Commander (The Lost Planet, #1).
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
