About this listen
Book 9 in the New Species series. While each New Species book is a standalone, the greatest enjoyment will come from listening to them in series order.
Beauty resents being labeled Gift Species. Everyone is way too overprotective, males aren’t even allowed to speak to her and so far, true freedom eludes her. Then a big, sexy Species officer mistakes her for the enemy and takes her down - literally. Shadow is dumbfounded. He has a Gift pinned beneath him - a big no-no. But Beauty is fascinated and wants to know Shadow a lot better. She's full of newly discovered, unrequited passion and he’s just what she needs to satisfy her curiosity.
For Shadow, sex means pain and loathing. For Beauty, enslavement and ridicule. Two lonely souls who have never known a loving touch, together in a cabin in the woods. Every caress, every discovery brings them closer to a life they never thought possible... beyond even their wildest dreams.

Story
For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it's just the beginning...Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She'd be grateful...if they hadn't turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti's grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist - and they've been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races.

It's werewolf mating season. All the males are in heat and the driving, sexual lust of their beasts is almost uncontrollable. Mika is human, in an alley, surrounded by four horny werewolves. She knows she's in deep shit. A tall, handsome werewolf rescues her then demands payment. Hot, sweaty, intimate payment. Grady is a half breed whose human mother abandoned him to his werewolf father, so he knows human women just aren't safe to fall in love with. The wolf within him wants Mika as his mate, but Grady will not give in. Never. Ever.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

I tried not to look at the men so that I could focus on keeping my movements silent. I certainly did not want to be detected. It was impossible, however, to keep my eyes completely off the terrifying drama unfolding before me. I was certain they planned to kill the man, and I had no way of helping him. The best I could do was get to safety and call the police. I had slunk my way to the left of them and was right alongside the river now. I crept along keeping a wary eye on the men.

Be brave, be yourself & be alive
I love how Beauty had the courage to go looking for what she wanted and showed strength when others thought her weak....otherwise she'd still be lonely and exactly where she had been....to which I can relate. This book had showed me where I need courage and that I haven't been living but existing as well.
I'm just slight disappointed there wasn't a preview for the next book at the end...lol. Besides the promise of hot sexy men in the next book, I liked hearing the teaser to spur me on to buy it.

Huge fan of this series
What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
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

Slow burn
Very excited to finally have a Species female story although it took about half of the book for them to get their heads out of their butts. Makes sense since Beauty is a gift female but slow burns aren’t my taste. Good story overall. Loved when she wound up protecting Shadow.

4 Shadow Stars
This book was a little different than what we are used to.
Beauty is Species but she is also a gift female. Meaning she was made smaller almost helpless and sold to sick people who wanted to “own” a pet.
Sick right! I was glad when this one was saved in a previous book. But Beauty wants to be more like the other Females, but because she is gift all her people protect her even from themselves.
She is very attracted to Shadow and Shadow is very attracted to her but because she is labeled gift he stays away.
But the heart wants and even when they are put together. I was so saddened to see how much they both “hide” there true feelings because of there pasts.
They kind of heal each other. I enjoyed this book a lot. It was different and we get to see a different kind of love story. And how pain can heal pain.
Again the narration blows me away. Vanessa does a fabulous job as always.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Good One!
It was quite a twist using a "gift" as the heroine. Two very abused people find each other and the Homeland story line continued nicely. Narration was good.

My Favorite Couple!!!!
Any additional comments?
I just started reading this series on 4/21/16 and haven't been able to stop since. So happy to see a story devoted to a Species couple. Beauty and Shadow are my favorite! I didn't want their story to end. They were so broken and fragile but in the end were able to help each other to build a strong, loving and lasting relationship. I laughed, I cried and just rooted for them to make it. Definitely the best in the series so far!!!!
