Publisher's Summary

First contact changed things on Earth. It opened possibilities that were never before possible. In what started as a trip to participate in an cooperative study, Sara found herself a test subject for breeding compatibility by a species known as the Agraak. Determined that she would not submit to be bred and relocated to serve as a breeder for the rest of her life, she escaped into the wilds of a hostile subarctic planet. Not knowing who to trust, and almost dying on the ice flows, she is rescued by a male larger than life whom her body craves.

Vidok

A warrior-priest of the VaDorok, Vidok had long given up hope of finding his ulukska, his mate. When he finds a tiny female off-worlder on the ice flows of the far northern territory who brings forth his mating heat, his life changes. To keep her, he not only has to help her save her companions, but must also risk their love facing repercussions among his tribe and the intergalactic council. 

Trigger-warning: the first two chapters contain elements involving rape.

feels like the author's first book ever

the story is good but flawed it feels like it may have been the first book or it was received a new editor who wasn't ready.
I would say don't let this book deter you from checking out the rest of the author's work everything else I've read or heard has been really good it's just this one particular story that seems to be falling a touch short and to be honest I think the narrator does play a noticeable role in that.

The narrator is hard to get around but if you can bypass that which is what I've been working to do the story seems interesting.
at about a quarter of the way through I think it was very clear this was not the author's Best book despite some very strong openings the issue I ran into is the male lead when he's first introduced and discovering our female heroine everything he says is much exposition it became boring at one point it just felt like he was prattling on about the struggles of the lonely males of this species and how they will little their lives.

The pacing in this story is odd both in the way that it's written and how the narrator handles it there's a level of speed through the interesting portions and a level of slowness in the descriptions that I think we could do without to be honest.

For example there's a fight sequence that last probably 3 minutes and then within a few pages of that there's a description of travelling to a cave and what it looks like to be in the cave that lasts for almost five it's just makes the story drag.


I can't say I could recommend this book even for credit to be honest I don't intend to keep this book it wasn't good enough two ever merit a second read. (from what I can tell these books in this series well they have little nods to each other or what else and are depending on each other for example book 6 what's great and I actually read that first and wasn't lost didn't miss anything having not read this book previously.)

I'd say skip this one until the narrator's changed and go into book 2 from there on.

Good story

A fun story, very entertaining. It took a while to get used to the narrator's voice. I found his characterizations a bit too similar to each other but eventually it was fine.
