Publisher's Summary

Abducted by alien slavers and taken to a lawless desert world, the last thing starship pilot Mia expects is to find herself in the protective, brawny arms of a wild, blue-skinned alien.

Rescued by gladiators on the alien world of Carthago, Mia is working to find other abducted humans who are still lost. But someone else also needs her help - the untamed alien who's saved her twice. Rescued from vicious fight rings he's fought in since he was a child, Vek is prone to losing control in aggressive fits of rage...and Mia discovers that she is the only who can calm him. As she finds herself drawn to the man beneath the beast, she knows that with his enhanced senses, Vek can help her find her friends.

For years, all Vek'ker has known is death, darkness, and killing. Despite his newfound freedom, he is struggling to control his rages and withdrawal from the drugs his captors used on him. Only one scent soothes him, one voice calms him, and one woman is his light in the dark. Vek will do anything to protect Mia and make her happy...including vowing to find her friends.

With the gladiators from the House of Galen, Vek, and Mia follow mysterious clues into a dangerous part of the desert on the trail of the missing humans. They are drawn closer together but as they enter the deadly Illusion Mountains, they have no idea of the dangers lying in wait for them, or how far they will both be pushed to their limits in order to survive.

I wasn’t sure, but now I am...I like it.

A decent story’s audiobook version can be made or broken by the reader. In the beginning, because her male voices were all rather forced and static, I didn’t think that I was going to like this book. But, I found, to my surprise, that the reader just needed to “get going.” By the end, because the story was thoroughly entertaining (and I’ve never read any of this author’s books before,) and the reader had a genuine amount of feeling for these characters (and was able to project that feeling appropriately in her reading), I really liked this audiobook. I am the first to admit that, because I have a very short attention span, that I am somewhat of an audiobook snob, but, between having a less used and honest reader, and having an enjoyable storyline, I would suggest this to any 18+, grew up on Sci-Fi, dyed in the wool romantic who is just looking for good, old-fashioned escapism entertainment. As is true of most romances these days, the sex is unapologetically blunt but in relatively good taste. I will read another of this series because of all of the above.

yummy and fun

this was a very fun story for character who's been through so much it was nice to go through that healing process and enjoy a human who's not freaked out by their attractions so to speak I would definitely recommend this book I'm addicted to the series can't seem to stop
