The Polyamorous Princess by Melodee Aaron



A passionate, spoiled princess. A brilliant intelligence officer. A tough marine.
Princess Allison, the coddled daughter of the Emperor of Mankind, is irreparably disturbed by the vicious war with the cat-like Arupians. Her social life is in shambles. Her friends are all on duty. Allie spends her days teaching old American history at the University or else hiding out in the royal Safe Room.
Then two fascinating men enter her life.
Second Lieutenant Damon Hyde is a swaggering and respected marine. Most people think he’s fearless–except for Allie, who falls for his vulnerability.
Lieutenant JG Harrison Douglas is brilliant. Most people think he’s also crazy–except for Allie, who is drawn to his eccentricity.
Brought together by fate, Allie falls in love, torn between the two men who love her and fight to win her. As new and disparate emotions blossom, Allie, Damon, and Harry are pulled into a passionate, polyamorous relationship. The three are forced to come to terms with their love for one another as they rely on their wits and skills, not only for their own survival, but also for all mankind on His Majesty’s Star Ship Boone.

            This is one of the first sci-fi romances I’ve read. But despite being out of my comfort zone this was a good read. I’d heard the term polyamorous before but this was the first time that I had actually seen/read what it was really about.
            This book is about Allison liking two guys. She had it stuck in her head that she had to like only one, despite her father loving multiple women and her sisters also being in polyamorous relationships. Allison finally decides that she likes both right about the same time that the two men decide that they actually like each other too. In the end the relationship works out perfectly.
            However getting to the end was not so simple. There was a war going on and having both men work for the ‘army/military’ did not make for an easy relationship. One of them gets captured and the other has to go rescue him. It was exciting to read because Melodee Aaron really knows how to draw the readers into caring about the characters.
            I know this is a short review but I’m going to give the book 3.25 stars and read it again at another date and probably rewrite my review.
