Summary

A deadly rogue warrior and enemy of the alliance has been placed in her care.

Dr. Charlotte Lockley is taken aboard the military vessel Tarus, carrying high-risk inmates and ordered to treat those badly injured, including Prisoner Zero—a dangerous vrisha prisoner captured on a human trade world.

As a doctor educated in alien medicine, Charlotte is one of the few that might keep the vicious alien alive long enough for him to be contained inside the max-security prison on the planet Fargis.

Despite his supposed crimes, Charlotte slowly begins to heal the broken warrior. Axrel as she comes to know him is like a viper—sleek, beautiful, and deadly. Though she's warned of his killer instincts, he never shows her violence.

Axrel, however, has hatred in his heart. And a need for vengeance against those who have wronged him. But the delicate, strong-willed doctor, soothes his fury. Her touch brings him calm, fills him with a different sort of need that burns as strong as his long-sought revenge.

When the unthinkable happens, their fragile bond is tested. Can Charlotte change his black heart or will revenge consume him?

Contains mature themes.

From Start to finish, I enjoyed this book, almost as much as book one from the 'Dark World Mates' series about Lana and Xerus (FYI, that is a series you really should read first to fully appreciate the world these 'Vrisha Warrior' books are set in.)
You get enough world building about Charlotte's life, about Greyheart, decent action and the relationship building between her and Axrel is great.
Only once did I roll my eyes at Charlotte, when she's threatening the military commander on his own ship... a true TSTL moment. I fully expecting them to jettison her... thankfully they did not and you got a decent story after that. :)
Narration was decent, but I think she struggled a bit with some of the male voices? At least Axrel's voice was ok.
I may read the next book in the series, not so much because I care about the Blood Guard and the Mad Queen, which really have been background noise to the relationships so dar, but to hear another story about a Vrisha.

best one so far
