You all know I love to write the "slow burn", but did you know I love reading it too? When I agreed to have Elin Wyn guest blog here, I had no idea I'd just stumbled upon a slow-burn kindred spirit. I picked up her new book, Vrehx, and bam! Hooked.
So, welcome Elin! Will you share with us the origins of your story?

The Conquered World series started as just flashes of scenes. An alien war that spilled out of a rift in the sky. A human woman in a cave, facing off against an alien warrior. A planet of walking trees and strangling vines. And that started months of questions: who were these people and how did they get there? What would make species that hate each other form an alliance? And what happens when first contact happens in the middle of a war we don't understand? Finding out the answers has been great fun!
Vrehx
Conquered World Book 1
He shattered her world. Can she trust him with her heart?
Giant spiders, walking trees, bloodthirsty vines. For Jeneva, it's just another day trying to survive in the jungles of Ankau. Until the sky ripped open, and the true monsters came through. Now her world is under attack, and the only place of safety may
be at the side of a rock-hard, scaled alien. But he's filled with secrets - how can she trust him?
Vrehx cares for nothing other than the destruction of the Xathi hordes who burned his home and killed his family. But when a weapons test goes horribly wrong, the battle spills over to an uncharted world. The planet is filled with lethal native life...but nothing is more dangerous than the human woman who obsesses his thoughts.
When war rages around them, can they fight together, or will his burning need for her drive them apart?
Vrehx is the first book in the science fiction romance series Conquered World. Each book is a stand-alone romance with alpha male alien warriors and women who don't put up with their nonsense. No cheating, no cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed!

I’ve spent my life as a confirmed book addict. Nothing else to read? Gimme the back of a cereal box, anything. Science fiction, fantasy and mystery were always my genres of choice, until I ran out of books at hand. (This was pre-Kindle – I’m never going to run out of books now!)
A friend handed me a tattered Georgette Heyer novel. It was Venetia, and I fell head over heels for the dialogue and tension between bright, intelligent Venetia and her charming rake.
It was like the best of the old movies I adore – To Catch a Thief, Notorious, Desk Set, His Girl Friday…
And I thought of all the great science fiction and fantasy books I love, and how on many of them the tension, the slow burn between the characters is as much fun as the plot itself.
Science fiction and romance combine as naturally as peanut butter and jelly – or peanut butter and chocolate!
