Cosmic Castsway is the third book in Mars Quinnâs Cosmic Romance series about a family of alien brothers and the abducted human beings who end up as their fated mates.
Quinnâs been able to create very diverse characters and layered backgrounds for each of the novels even within the same framework. Every human, while having been abducted, has had a very unique experience to go along with their story. And each human has their own distinctive traits, some with accompanying disorders or others (Caleb was a ghost then had to deal with body dysfunction), that figured gradually into the narrative. As did the struggles of their alien mate counterparts.
Bartholomew is among a huge number of humans abducted and sold as slaves by illegal alien marketers. His life as a slave has been one of barely surviving amidst daily violence and terror. Until heâs seen, and kidnapped by a huge alien who says heâs saving him as heâs carted off world again.
Serlotminden aka Mindy is the middle brother and the most impulsive of the five. Heâs just gone to a shady corner of the universe and spotted humans where they shouldnât be any. So he decides to rescue one.
The result doesnât go as planned.
Quinn does a great job in creating multiple worlds, complete with detailed flora and fauna, ferocious ones. A stumbling romance, that has the characters learning about each otherâs lives and their own experiences. Which, in Bartholomewâs case, means the trauma of his recent enslavement and the survivors guilt he carries.
Mindy and Bartâs story is well worth reading. Itâs got an extra twist in it regarding another human slave Bart was living with before Mindy saved/kidnapped him.
Cosmic Soul is still my favorite but I love seeing how all the couples are doing together and progressing in their lives.
Highly recommended!

If this is a rescue, it sucks.
Bartholomew
After two years of captivity, Iâve been ârescuedâ by another alien. But the supposed rescue quickly goes south when we crash on an icy planet. Freezing and in a broken shuttle, I have to work with this alien to survive. But as Mindy keeps smiling at me and moving closer and closer, I canât help but wonder if this isnât as horrible as I thought.
Serlotminden
My plan to rescue the captive human didnât quite work, but itâll be fine. My brothers will find us. Until then, I will protect him. But the longer we spend together, the more I want to touch him and make him laugh. Itâs only natural, right? Itâs because weâre friends, though why does that thought bother me?
This is a spicy stand-alone MM romance in the Cosmic Romance series. Itâs a sci-fi romance on an icy planet with a serious human, an easy-going alien, MCs who save each other, and a happily ever after. This book is for adult audiences only and has explicit content. Content warning inside.
