The heroine: Kat - she was taken via transport to counselor Dubois’ safe house after he found out that she knew about his and the colony’s secrets. He had been keeping her locked up in his basement. The location of his safe house was a guarded secret. The counselor and his wife were now the targets of some very angry citizens. The wife thinks that Kat is at fault for the fact that her husband had lost interest in her.

The Hero: Trsak - he found Kat weeks after she had sent her final message. He had been watching counselor Dubois’ home, and he scared the coward into moving Kat and everything else to his bunker. Trsak knew that would be his chance to rescue her. The counselor had a bunch of bio-mechanical tech and even enhanced guards to protect his bunker. He thought she was beautiful, and she thought he was a human named Zach.

The Story: Kat had no interest in the counselor; she had been his assistant and had initially had a high regard for him, thinking he was a champion of the lower classes. She was now very disillusioned after finding out how much blood is on his hands. She has since been a contact for the rebel group that was out to expose all the colony secrets and those of the leaders. Until the counselor found out that she new about him and his friends and their connection to exotech pharmaceuticals. Her main contact with the rebel group was someone named Zach, who had been a bit shy at first, but she liked him, and he was the only one who knew she was one of the good guys and not just assistant and possible mistress of the corrupt councilman.

When the Kadrixan monster flew in and attacked the guards that were bringing Kat into the bunker, she was frightened and had no idea who Trsak was. He knew that someone would be out soon to check on what was going on. He had used a program to make his features look human and filtered his voice through translation software, so Kat had no reason to go anywhere with him. She ran from him, hid and held her breath. Though he easily tracked her by scent. Trsak grabbed Kat and took to the sky.

I loved what Kat had done to those in charge of the colony. She hadn’t only been telling secrets to the rebels; she had also been doing some of her own sabotage. After reading the first three books in this series, I wanted the good guys to get back at the people controlling the world in despicable ways. I always love the adventure type of alien romance where the main characters go on a journey and this book was like that.

This story delivers such a satisfying mix of rebellion, deception, and thrilling rescues. Kat’s determination to sabotage the corrupt colony leaders is such a powerful element—she’s not just a whistleblower; she’s actively striking back. I also love the dynamic of Trsak posing as Zach, making their connection all the more complex. This adventure-driven alien romance has that exhilarating, high-stakes feel that makes every page pulse with tension.

The audiobook is told in two points of view in dual narration. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott narrated. Both of these narrators are good; they have nice voices and are expressive. Definitely voice actors, not just readers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott are such a power duo in narration—they bring real depth to those emotional moments.

The Hero: Trjun - he wakes up in a cell with two others. He was training in a mountain valley with other Kadrixan warriors, and there were human females there. He had no idea how he got from there to an electrified cell, with a Vokeiran male and a female in the males' arms. A female came to give them food and was speaking to them in Spanish, so the guards wouldn’t understand. He remembers running in the desert after a bunch of humans. He saw a female with dark hair and dark eyes; he knew right away that she was his mate. When he ran into the group, he grabbed his mate and fell to his knees and was taken captive.

The heroine: Brianna - she is one of the human women in the facility where research was taken place. She was angry and had stopped caring. Her body wasn’t hers anymore, since she went from being a worker to a test subject. Her body was owned by Novovida Military and Exotech Pharmaceuticals. She was sent to Utopia by her family and became a nurse when she first arrived.

The Story: At one point Bri was turned into test subject 0426 of the Utopian outpost. She hated what they were doing; breeding experiments with the local alien races, trying to make super-soldiers because humans die too easily. Brianna knew the only way out was to take out their tracker and make a run for it and try to avoid the robo-hounds and nano-murder bots. Though that was as dicey as it sounds.

Bri was taken to a gladiator-like arena where the demon-like male who had tried to kidnap her out in the desert was now fighting a huge dangerous beast. The male refused to kill the beast, and Doctor Kingsley ordered the guard to kill the beast. The Alien killed the guard and stole his weapon but was put out with knock out gas. The Doctor and all the researchers see guards, nurses, and test subjects as disposable. They were putting Brianna in with the alien man who looked like demons of old. They want the females to make a baby or die trying.

Like the first few books, this one had a great plot. This book went further into what was going on with the humans and how their society is set up. It really dives deep into the brutal realities of human experimentation, power struggles, and survival, making the stakes feel even higher. Brianna’s arc is especially compelling—her transition from nurse to unwilling test subject adds layers of anger and defiance that contrast well with Trjun’s honor and instinctual protectiveness.

The way society is structured in this world—the rich exploiting the poor through terrifying experiments—is a chilling yet intriguing theme that has been gradually unfolding in the series. It’s satisfying to finally get more insight into the Utopia project, considering how much mystery surrounded it in earlier books.

The audiobook is told in two points of view in dual narration. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott narrated. Both of these narrators are good; they have nice voices and are expressive. Definitely voice actors, not just readers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. Wen Ross has a nice, deep voice that I really liked. They did a great job on this book and narrate this entire series. And dual narration. That always brings so much depth to the storytelling. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott have such strong presence, adding emotion and immersion, making the characters feel even more real.

The heroine: Lyneth - she is the younger sister of Rhoslyn from the first book in this series. Each year for the past 11, her village sends two women into the forest to be claimed by Orcs, in return for the Orc’s protection against the shades which would kill them. Lyneth is a widow, and it wasn’t her choice to be in the mate hunt, she was pushed into it. Her husband didn’t have much, and she was left with nothing, since women can’t own property. Her friend Kale wants her to try to get out of it, if possible, he thinks it is the worst thing in the world for a woman to be rutted by an Orc, though Lyneth thinks one male rutting her isn’t much different than another, though she is afraid.

The Hero: Madr - he is an Orc, half brother to Jaus from the first book, and he was in line for the throne of the Orc kingdom, but he abdicated. He was going to the mate hunt, though he would be late because his father told him he couldn’t participate, that mating a human female was beneath him, so Madr is going because he wants a mate, and he also wants to show his father that he can’t control him. His brother Jaus had mated a human, and they have a hybrid baby, though his father refuses to claim Jaus as his son.

The Story: Madr didn’t get to the hunt till late, having flown on his dragon-like beast from the mountains where he lived, but as soon as he got near, his clan pendant glowed immediately, so he knew one of the two women was his mate. He needed to get to her and claim her without attracting any shades and before any other Orcs got to her.

Lyneth was running through the forest; she was frightened of the shades since her parents were killed by them when she was thirteen. She knew one was hunting her, so she climbed a tree, just in time as a shade (huge, fanged lizard-like creatures) came beneath her. She hoped to stay in the tree till morning. Though when she turned around, she saw she was surrounded by Orcs. She was almost claimed by a leering one called Riank, but one named Madr whose lumen pendent was blazing with light, said she was his. The two were cousins that hated each other and fought for the right to claim Lyneth. Madr won the battle, but knew his cousin wouldn’t end it there and now that Madr abdicated and his father wouldn’t claim Jaus, that his cousin might someday become king.

Lyneth and Madr ended up being stranded in the forest after Riank sabotaged them by hurting Madr’s flying beast. They got to know each other as mates. I liked the fact that despite being married before, Lyneth was such an innocent. She only knew that wives were supposed to please their husbands not that they could receive pleasure as well. The two of them got to know each other intimately, though Lyneth keeps it a secret that Rhoslyn is her sister and Madr keeps it a secret that he was a prince.

The story really showcases the layered dynamics between Lyneth and Madr, not just as mates but as individuals navigating personal struggles, expectations, and hidden truths. The world-building is gripping, too—the looming threat of the shades, the tense mate hunt, and the Orc clan politics all add to the intensity.

I love how Lyneth’s perspective is shaped by her circumstances. Her view of marriage and pleasure adds an emotional depth that makes her transformation with Madr even more compelling. Madr’s defiance of his father adds another fascinating layer—it's not just about claiming Lyneth, but proving he controls his own fate.

The audiobook is told in two points of view in dual narration. Scarlett Dorian and Stephen Borne narrated this book. Scarlett has a clear and expressive voice and did a terrific job. Stephen had a deep, soft, growly voice that worked well for an Orc and I quite liked his voice and how natural he sounded. The one thing I didn’t like was both of their voices for the opposite sex. I wish more books were done in duet narration where each performer sticks to their respective character’s dialogue—it makes for a more immersive experience

The heroine: Penelope - she is a human female that has lived with the Kadrixan males for the past two years. She came to help them with the rut and decided to stay as it was a much better life than the one she led in the colony. She writes erotic romance novels and posts them online for anyone to read.

The Hero: Vostak - he was a grumpy male Kadrixan who is determined that he will never have a mate. He was so determined that he didn’t even set up a nest in the mountains which is where his fellow males take their mates. He was rejected in the past and is now convinced that he doesn’t deserve a mate. Though he watches the human female, Penelope.

The Story: Penelope and Vostak go on a mission and are forced to spend time together. Penelope had hoped to find a mate amongst the Kadrixan males, but hadn’t found one yet, though she often watched Vostak in the fighting rings where the warriors practiced each day. While on their mission, they find out more about the Utopia project which the colony ran. The colony is run by the wealthy, and they had various laws that the poor were forced to break, like if they were in debt or if they were evicted and dind’t have a place to live. The females that broke laws were given the choice to go to the Kadrixan settlement and help with the rut, or to join the Utopia project.

This was a good alien adventure romance. Forced proximity with a journey, which I love. I also loved that Vostak was a grouchy alien who had a low opinion of his own value and a strong female main character. This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. Both of these narrators are good; they have nice voices and are expressive. Definitely voice actors, not just readers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. Wen Ross has a nice, deep voice that I really liked.

The heroine: Blake - her father was a wealthy governor that wanted to run for president when his term was up. Blake couldn’t stand her life; she was bullied at school and nagged by her mother at home and ignored by her father. She was counting the days till she left for Stanford in two months. When she caught her father in a compromising situation. To make sure that she wouldn’t give him away to his constituents, he had her committed to an asylum.

The Story: three years later in the asylum, Blake has erotic dreams every night where she was ravaged by monsters. It was the same four monsters every night. Though she was still a virgin and she was sure that she was actually crazy. Sleeping pills just trapped her in her dreams longer, and the other pills she was given made her a zombie. She refused to take them, though her doctor was trying to get her to take a new medicine in order to stop her dreams and prove she is better to be released. Though she knew her father would never let her leave, though when her mother came to tell her that her father died, she decided it was time to try to get better.

Blake finally made it out of the asylum and was living in a crappy apartment in the worst side of town. She was part of a program to re-integrate into society and worked the graveyard shift at the library ten blocks away. The program was by the asylum, and they gave her weekly blood tests to make sure she was still taking her meds. She took it as soon as she got home after her shift ended at 4 am and then slept through the rest of the day. When she decides to stop taking the meds, her Monster king is there waiting for her, and when she wakes up, he is still there, showing himself in human form.

The Heroes:
Creed - The monster king. He and the others have been with Blake with her in her dreams for years. He wants her to let him in so he can bring her home. He and his men are the protectors of their city; they fight the beasts try to break into their city and hunt them.
Tempest - he hides in the shadows. His eyes are slits like a serpent; he has fangs and sharp teeth and was always rough with Blake.
Ash - he and Seven are twins. He has been blind since birth and his other senses are heightened. His monster form is hideous, yet his human form is beautiful.
Seven - twin brother of Ash. He has seven demons living inside of him and drags around chains.
Dr.Steele Adams - he is a doctor at Bright Meadows Asylum. He is adamant that Blake takes her meds and stop the dreams. He tells her she can’t let them in.

This was an interesting story, and I had no idea where it was going or what was going to happen. There was a pretty detailed back story about the Shadowburn realm and the city of Wild that the monsters live in. There used to be a queen who was murdered. All the guys were damaged in some way after losing their beloved queen. I think I wasn’t really in the mood for this kind of book though, as I wasn’t fully engaged. So, I am giving it three stars. I do have the second book in this duet and I think I will wait until I am more in the mood for monster romance before getting back into this story There was plenty of steam in this but I am only giving 4 flames for this because I got a bit tired of it.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view and narrated in dual narration by Zara Hampton-Brown and Lucas Webley. Zara Hampton-Brown has a nice, soft voice and sounds fairly young, perfect for Blake. Lucas Webley has a great voice and is terrific at doing different voices for different characters, like a deep, but soft voice for Creed and a more normal sounding voice for Ash.

The heroine: Clara - she was arrested because it was illegal to be homeless in her city, and she was evicted from her apartment. In Nova Vita, it wasn’t just illegal to be homeless, basically it was illegal to be poor. Her cellmate was in because she missed three payments on a medical bill. There are two options for them, disappear into the colony’s Utopia project or being given to an alien that looks like an old earth demon for their rut. The Kadrixan’s give the colony the ore they need in exchange for female prisoners during their rut.

The Hero: Krxare - he waited for this year's females in a shuttle from Nova Vita. He is a commander, he and all the males under his command were about to go into rut. They were all exiled from their own solar system and the warriors had made a home on Vokira. They lost a bunch of warriors to the first rut on the planet, and they found the colony of humans on Nova Vita in time for the next rut. The first year of the treaty, the females were sure they were being sent to their death, there were only four dozen females which wasn’t nearly enough, and nine had found their mates. Some had formed triads.

The Story: Krxare was not happy to see that there were not enough females once again. He knew the humans thought of them at demons. The females were all sedated and dressed in a fancy gown. Krxare had no idea why, since they only came from the colony across the ocean, not from space. When one of the females woke and looked at Krxare, he was immediately attracted to her. When their eyes met, his knees felt weak.

The book was fairly good, there were some pretty steamy scenes, and the world building was terrific. There was a lot of description of what happened during the rut in general and in some past rutting seasons. The relationship between the two main characters was built up nicely and I liked the dilemma that Clara had. She was treated so well by Krxare and his people, she was given plenty of food and clothing and everything she needed, which she didn’t always have access to at home because she was so poor and the wealthy control everything and treat the poor so terribly, but staying wasn’t easy either because she had a brother at home.

One thing I thought was really awesome was when Krxare said that females of his race couldn’t conceive without orgasms. Just think how well controlled our population growth would be on Earth if that was the case. I was divorced with two kids and in my thirties before I had my first. I know from the men I have dated since that most are not like the ones we read about in romance novels, and could care less if the woman finishes or not.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view and narrated in dual narration by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. Both of these narrators are good; they have nice voices and are expressive. Definitely voice actors, not just readers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. Wen Ross has a nice, deep voice that I really liked. I definitely would listen to more from both of these narrators.

The heroine: Melinda Norris - she got fired from a job where she had done most of the work, right before her shares would have vested. She decided to become a surrogate parent to make extra money to start her own digital marketing company and put her old bosses out of business. She did not know much about the couple she was meeting but knew that they wanted to use her eggs and she would get more money for that. Though it meant that the baby would be part of her and not just because she carried it.

The Heroes:
Pierce Benning - he is a billionaire bachelor, well known in the city as a playboy and one of the youngest self-made billionaires.
Andrew Foster - he is Mr. Benning’s valet. They had been friends for years. He was laid back and had a calming demeanor.
Tristan Lowe - he is the personal assistant for Mr. Benning; he has a proper English accent and is always well put together. He has known Pierce since they were roommates in college.

The Story: Melinda goes to the address she has to meet the perspective parents and is a bit worried when she sees she is parked in front of a warehouse by the docks. She meets Andrew, who seems likable, so she follows him to the helicopter that would take them to the yacht. She had to sign a non-disclosure agreement right away after meeting Mr. Benning’s assistant. After that she finally met Pierce, and she wasn’t impressed since he reminded her of her former bosses, the two Bob’s.

Melinda reads the surrogacy contract and was pleasantly surprised at how much she would be paid but was a bit wary when Pierce let it be known that he had gotten her information from the surrogacy company before she had even finalized her enrollment. She was even more surprised when he told her about a second contract, a more unorthodox contract, in which he detailed how he wanted to make a baby the old-fashioned way.

Pierce was wary of a failed surrogacy, he said he doesn’t want his child’s life to begin artificially. Though after Pierce told her the many reasons he wanted her to be his surrogate, including the fact that she graduated from Brown, played a bunch of sports in high school, and her health background, not to mention the amount of money he was willing to pay, she reluctantly agreed.

I liked the escapism of this one. I mean who wouldn’t want to spend six months on a mega yacht, traveling to exotic places like a private island, trying to get pregnant by one of three handsome men. If only there wasn’t a contract to give up your own flesh and blood at the end of it. Though this is a romance novel so I was pretty safe in assuming that wouldn’t happen. One thing I didn’t like about this book was that when Melinda took Pierce to her sister’s wedding, she upstaged the bride quite a bit without thinking. She blamed it on the fact that being around all that money had changed her. I think that it was just a matter of doing something without thinking, not that she had changed. And what Pierce did afterwards nearly ruined the book for me. I was planning on giving this book 5 stars until then. Though of course, it still turned out all right.

I love that Cassie Cole’s books are stand-alone’s. I loved in this book where Andrew and Melinda read each other’s favorite books and Melinda’s is ACOTAR and he didn’t like it. He thought the sex was way too graphic for a book that is touted as for young adults. When Melinda says it gets better in the next book, he goes on about why everything has to be a series nowadays, why can’t a book just be a book? I say that same thing all the time, so I loved it.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view and narrated in dual narration by Ramona Radcliffe and Julio Maxwell. Ramona Radcliffe has a nice voice and is very expressive. She also sounds about the age Melinda would be. Julio Maxwell has a decent voice, though I like a deeper voice for my romantic heroes. He does an awful accent for Andrew. I was not sure if it was supposed to be an English accent or just a haughty wealthy person accent. Either way, if he had used that accent for all three men, I might have stopped listening right away, but I got used to it and it stopped bothering me after a bit.

The heroine: Rebecca (a.k.a. Bex) - she was the only one of the all-female mission to Suevan territory that wasn’t very upset when she found out that what they thought was a welcoming ceremony, was actually a wedding ceremony and she was now married to an alien. See Bex was a huge fan of alien and monster romance novels, and she was more than happy to be starring in a real-life version of one of her favorite novels. She had fantasized about falling for a monster for years. Though she wasn’t too happy about the fact that their choices were taken from them by their own government, she thought her new husband was all that and a bag of chips.

The Hero: Warlord Dergoz (a.k.a. the brute) - he chose Bex when the females first landed on his planet and was more than attracted to the curvy female. Though when he heard her refer to him as a ‘monster’, he was completely disheartened. He had always been called ‘the brute’ by his colleagues and he wasn’t fond of being thought of that way, so when his own wife called him a monster, he took it to heart. He was grouchy and broody and refused to spend time with Bex.

The Story: The human women were each implanted with a symbiont translator, but they each started working at different times, so Bex still could not understand the Suevans. Though she had Gen, to translate when she went to Dergoz’s home to give him a batch of cookies she baked. He was grumpy again and wouldn’t talk directly to her, but he mentioned that he had to go to the capital that evening, so Bex came up with a plan to stow away aboard his ship and go with him. Little did she know that the warlord commander had cancelled the trip to the capital and was instead sending the brute, who was one of the best warlords, on a dangerous mission to a databank of their enemies, the Roth.

I have enjoyed this series quite a bit so far. Each book is different, the first had an attack on the planet by the Roth, the second was an Indiana Jones-like adventure through the jungle, and this one is a space adventure. The characters are great, and the world building is also pretty good. I like that for a change; the female isn’t all butt-hurt about being on an alien planet and being mated to an alien. I like it when the females take things in stride and see their new life as a big adventure. I mean if I was in space, or on a new planet, and paired with a tall, handsome warrior that I was attracted to, I would hope that I would see it as a new adventure, though I would miss my family on earth, and probably some of the things I like about Earth, I would still try to enjoy myself.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Mason Lloyd and Hollie Jackson, both of whom I like very much. They are expressive and natural sounding; you definitely can’t tell they are reading.

The heroine: Miya - one day her mother comes into her bedroom and tells her they have to leave right away and are never coming back. She tells her that her dad, who works at the space research center, has gotten some codes for a pod. She tells her that aliens exist, and the earth is about to be destroyed by a world destroying storm which is coming in a few hours. Her parents have a way to get Miya off the planet where she will be safe. Her father had worked hard for his company and had been promised a pod, but some Senator’s kid is taking it at the last minute, so they are getting her on it anyway. They give her a communicator, put her in the pod and send her into space, alone.

The Hero: Hugo - Luna was his only friend and it was hard for him to hand her off to Tordan, who is a Darvarian, and used to be one of his biggest enemies. Hugo has fragmented memories of his past. Hugo, Evo and Vin, sons of Dar are attempting to save, Aimy, the medical AI that helped him and Luna escape the compound. Aimy sacrificed herself to try to kill Master Enak who had been holding Hugo and Luna. Enak had been torturing both of them and had made them into cyborgs so he could experiment on them to try to perfect his process.

The Story: Hugo finds men delivering a pod that the AI Enak had purchased, with a rare species he plans to use in order to breed so he can get a baby to put his own consciousness in and be a real person. When there is a power surge, Hugo gets shocked and feels light-headed, his organic body is rejecting the synthetics he has been installed with. Commander Dar tells Hugo that he is now in charge of the compound.

While this story is technically a standalone, it refers back to a lot of the storyline from the previous book, so I was glad I listened to that one first. The story was good, the characters were well developed, and I liked both of them, I also liked all the supporting characters and AI’s.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view and narrated in dual narration by Emily Sutton-Smith and Tor Thom. Tor Thom is one of my favorite male narrators, especially for alien and paranormal romance because he has an extremely deep, almost supernatural sounding voice that works perfectly for big, strong, muscled aliens and monsters. Emily Sutton-Smith has a pleasant-sounding voice which I also enjoyed quite a bit.

I enjoyed these three books more than I expected and at the end I found myself wishing more of this series was on audiobook. The first book has much more steam than story, though there is still some story. The next two books get better and better. I liked the third book the best. It had a very exciting story.
