4.5 Brawn Stars

Being as this is a reread I already knew I would enjoy the book. But I was surprised at how much I liked Brawn. I never gave his character a second thought from the other books.

Tim O’bearto I did though, I thought dang that guy needs to get laid. Hahaha so when you find out its his daughter who Brawn falls for you know it’s going to be a damn fine book to say the least.

I love Becca’s spunk, and how she doesn't back down. I love that she also feels so much but there is one thing I am not a fan of from her and that is how much she protested. I get why and all but it was a little annoying. But thank goodness for Brawn he showed her the way. Hahhahaha

Again I am a fan of the narrator! Vanessa does a freaking fantastic job with these characters…love, love, love.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Women are just annoying in the book

Ok... I put this book off for so long... and now I know why I did....

NS is one great series...however... some of the stories (2 now) are really skip worthy...

Brawn was great... absolutely loved him...but Becca... Ok...seriously, when she got taken back to Reservation after she called in to Homeland to let them know she was prego... She acted like a total idiot. Brawn literally roared the house down to get to her...then in the middle of smex, when he claims her... she stops! WTF... Then she drug Brawn through the ringer after he said over and over that she was his.

Let's not even get started on Trisha's nosy butt... I wanted Brawn to smack her...

I think this one is a skipper. It's not need to following along in the series.. I should have skipped it.

With all that said... it was decent book. So this one is a "I like it , but I don't" book.

I would save my credit and pick this up on a sale...

Great narration!

Another Great Story In New Species!

I really love this series, it full of steamy sex, romance, and lots of suspense that will have your heart racing.

Brawn and Becca really have to work together when they are captured and locked in a cage. Brawn who's been a captive before is familiar with situation and is very angry but he helps Becca coupe as she has never been subject to this kind of treatment. Their capture brings them closer together but when the are freed, Becca's father ensures Brawn stays away from Beccca that is until a big secrete is reveal that will change both their lives.

Each story has intense heart pounding suspense and steamy sex with lots of attractions between the main characters.

I loved Brawn, he is another one of my favorite characters!

Still Loving New Species!

My love for New Species continues to grow. I enjoyed Brawn all the way through until about the last two hours of the book. The story started off funny, with immediate intensity and suspense, I was in love, and then as everything was starting to come together things got really redundant and frustrating! It was like these two lovebirds couldn't get beyond their own stupidity and angst. Thankfully, by the last half hour of the book Brawn and Becca finally got their acts together and I was madly in love all over again!

This series has great narration, hot alpha men, and I like how the author has found interesting circumstances for the characters to find themselves in on their journey toward true love and an understanding of their new existence. These are not standalone books and I highly recommend starting from the beginning with fabulous Fury!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SERIES

Once again Laurann Dohner captured my mind and heart and skilfully bound me to the bitter-sweet story until the end and, as I witnessed the cruelty the numbered captives have had to endure at the hands of barbarians and all done for greed, I was blown away. But thankfully the members of the New Species are now fighting back.

Brawn and Becca are captured and they become unwilling participants of the breeding experiments which go a little too well. Packed full of drama, suspense, surprises, romance, sex, and passion this listen will hook you in as the couple struggle, through conflict, betrayal and heartache, to find their HEA ending.

Worth a credit? LD manages to write her New Species men as sexy, caring, loyal, protective, loving, yet very vulnerable purring, Alpha men - so who can resist them? Certainly not me and that's why it was another credit well spent.

Brawn can be skipped

Brawn and his female were idiots. Actually everyone was irritating in this book. Skip this because it's a waste of time.

Great Read

As usual Laurann does a fabulous job of keeping you interested in this book number 5 of her New Species series. She does such a good job of developing her characters, you feel like you are right there with them. It is getting hard to say enough good things about Laurann's New Species series because each one is just as good as the last, if not better because she brings in new, creative stories with each book. Love her writing and her creativity as well as her descriptions of each person, place and thing. Especially love how she hooks me on the next book by giving a preview of the first chapter of the next book. Has me hooked from the beginning. Love her work.

Another great one!

Have you listened to any of Vanessa Chambers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narrator is the reason that I have purchased every audio book in this series. The story is good but the narrator Vanessa Chambers makes this book a thousand times better!!! A narrator can totally kill a book and this is an example where the narrator just makes this book AMAZING!!! Great Job

Brawn & Becca's story - Another winner for Dohner

Any additional comments?

Brawns and Becca's love story is just as hot and intriguing as all the other books in this wonderful series and was once again narrated perfectly by the wonderful Vanessa Chambers....

Brawn finds himself experiencing a return to his former nightmare existence when he’s once again subjected to breeding experiments by a former Mercile scientist and her henchmen. Brawn has a choice: let Becca help him achieve orgasm and collect his sperm in a cup or be hooked up to a cold and impersonal collection machine. He'll do anything to keep them from throwing Becca in with the other male captives held with them, Species who've been tortured beyond their limits, both medically and physically, their sanity now in question. One way or another, their captors will use Becca to get what they want. Brawn knows he must protect her any way he can.

Becca realizes she and Brawn must work together if they're to survive their captivity. For her, that's no hardship. She's been attracted to the sexy Species, with his beautiful blue cat eyes, since the moment he first arrived at her house to move into her spare bedroom. But as sexually appealing as he is, it's his tender care of her during their captivity that ultimately steals her heart. Once rescue comes however, she doesn't count on Brawn turning his back on her. It takes a consequence of their captivity to bring them back together, but will the misunderstandings Becca's interfering father fostered to tear them apart be too much for their fragile relationship to endure.

Continues to be a pleasant listen!

I appreciated the characterization for Brawn and for Becca. There is a pattern with Laurann's book, each of the main characters assume how the other feels, rather than talking it out, sharing their individual thoughts and it can be quite irritating. I'd like to see less of that in her story lines for the New Species. I think LD was trying to make that attempt in this book. It still kept my interest and I do NOT regret buying it and listening to it. So, there is a predictability in LD's writing style. But, I'm still eager to listen to the remaining books in this series.
She does show diversity in the various series she's created and I find it's nice to move to the Cyborg series and then back to the New Species, just so that predictability can be broken up a bit.
The narrator for this series is superb! The story line wasn't as strongly developed as others in the series has been, but there is action, suspense, intrigue and of course as a book listed in Ellory's Cove, there's Passion.
It's worth the credit.
