Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order. This series also coincides with events happening in the Paranormal Wars: Juarez series.

Ok, this book was a little disappointing to me. I was pretty sure Diallo was described as a blue-eyed blond in “Mating in Stormy Waters” and he was. So when he was introduced as a slim-black man we copper eyes I was confused. So my OCD made me go back and look it up. And yes he has been completely changed since he was introduced. So from the start things we getting a little off course.

Next up is way would Dugan be chosen to lead the hunt for the children? Nothing was ever said about why he and Diallo for that matter were selected. Also what the hell was the deal with the Death Valley scene? Why were they dropped there? That all deal made no sense to me.

OK, looking past all the things they left me with questions. The romance between Diallo and Dugan was nice and sweet. Both men have deep scars. Dugan from the bombing that left him without a leg, and Diallo with his years of physical and sexual abuse.

The fact that Diallo was able to let Dugan in and find happiness was good. Dugan was so gentle with Diallo since he has heard the stories of what happened to Diallo. There were also some really sweet and cute moments between them. I really liked the scene with the wild dolphins.

Overall, not as good as some of the other books in the series. But, if you can look beyond some of the inconsistencies, a good romance.

The war on Mars is almost over. A small band of peacekeepers are hiding from the Outlaw MC. Grim has hidden his past from the club since he joined. He punishes himself for his old sins—no relationships, no friends, nothing but taking the government down. Then he meets a member’s brother.

Valentine just escaped from the prison on Earth. He’s too young for Grim but that doesn’t stop the pull between them. As the club hunts down the last of the peacekeepers, Grim and Valentine give in to their passion. It isn’t until after that the truth about Grim’s past comes out.

Can lies be forgiven as the peace of Mars is shattered?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the seventh book in the Outlaw MC series. It’s a fantastic addition to the series as we learn about Valentine, Romeo’s brother, and Grim. Valentine has been in prison on earth since he was 16 years old. He has learned the hard way not to trust anyone until he meets Grim.

Grim is an Outlaw MC who used to be on the other side of the law. He feels guilty about those years but in my opinion he couldn’t help what others did. But he most definitely should have told Valentine who he was. These two set the pages on fire with their intensity.

This book starts out with a nail-biting scene and continues the same pace throughout the entire story. There is no shortage of action packed scenes with edge of your seat fight scenes not to mention a lot of flirting and sexy action between Grim and Valentine.

My heart broke during the telling of what had happened to Liam. I so wanted to do physical harm to those guards.

I loved the entire book and can’t wait to see what else happens in this series as Outlaw prepares to go get Liam from prison.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Bad Boy Assassin’s collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

This story came off a little smoother than the first two books. You have the futuristic and science fiction part of the story which is great, then she added in characters that you wouldn’t find in many stories. I love the fact that they will protect those they love, even though sometimes you just want to smack them upside the head. I did have a bit more fun with this book.

Race had met Tucker when he was in a bit of trouble. At the time he had not known that Tucker was wanted by many planets for basically being a scientist. For the last two months he had thought his father had killed the man he loved. Now he finds out different, and must go save his man.

Tucker is a powerful scientist and the rebels either want him dead or making their weapons. He has been in hiding for a couple of months but he missed his lover. He needed help getting to safety but when Race showed up he was shocked. However he knew their love was strong and he had a plan to keep them safe.

The problem with this book is that it feels rushed which takes away from the story a bit. It is better than the first two but there was so much to the story that could have made it flow easier and made the story just a bit better.

Over all though I had a blast with it and would recommend it.

Review: Each book in the Space Warrior’s collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

I came across Sydney Lain a few months back and can honestly say that she has written probably one of my top favorite series to read. You have the futuristic and science fiction part of the story which is great, then she added in characters that you wouldn’t find in many stories. I love the fact that they will protect those they love, even though sometimes you just want to smack them upside the head.

Jace and his brother Jarred were not close in any sense. So much so that Jace hated Jarred. He hated him even more when his mate Yune always talks about his brother. Yune worked for Jarred for longer than he can remember. His mate had different colored hair every time he saw him, he talked more than anyone he could remember and he loved his brother. However Yune was his mate.

Yune had been dumped in a dumpster right after he was born. He had been taken in by a doctor until he was eight years old, when the old man died. Then he became a slave. His master had been cruel and had basically tortured him. On a night he escaped, he saved a man’s life. Jarred had saved him, sent him to school and basically became his father. Although in the eyes of all, he was still a slave.

Jace turned him on, but he was frightened. Things do not go as they expect but so much better. These two definitely don’t know how to communicate. I got a kick out of it all. However I wasn’t much for Jace, but after reading this story he became a favorite hero of mine. He might have taken the long way around. He proved that he would become a good mate.

This book gave me everything I could ask for in a story and so much more. I just wished that there were more to read, I absolutely hate having to wait for the next story. The only problem I had with it, was the fact that it ends too fast. I want more after he convinces him. I want to see how well they start acting towards each other. I loved this one and cannot wait for the next amazing story.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story.

It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. When Sydney puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Blurb: Unlikely mates Brale and Dyos are space bounty hunters who exist outside the intergalactic planetary laws. Their two races might hold a centuries-old grudge against each other, but war is far from their agenda. They simply go where the space credits goes.

When a wealthy client hires them to acquire rare merchandise from a cargo ship, Brale and Dyos leap at the opportunity for easy cash.
The hunters get more than they’ve bargained for when they discover the merchandise is a rare human female breeder.

For Brale and Dyos, J is the perfect woman, but when certain politics come into play, J comes with a hefty price tag the two outlaws might not be able to pay.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I have read many books by Angelique and she always gives me an entertaining story. Mostly because the title is just as funny as the story she gives. Now most of her books have been man on man story, but this one has J in it. That was a major downfall for me. She didn’t really make the story better but to me a big disappointment.

So even though it is a good book that was my down point. To be honest I had to skip over the sex scenes when she was involved.

The whole story is a bit different from the others that she has written, with this one involving outer space. Brale and Dyos are mates and they are not exactly on the right side of the law most of the time. Their families pretty much hate each other or I should say their races. So off they go to grab something for a wealthy client. What they got was a big surprise.

J is human and what they call a rare breeder. She has a feisty attitude and is kind of quirky to me. The guys want her big time, but to acquire her might be more than they bargained for.

The guys come off as a bit strange to me. They are extremely hot together though. The whole book itself is full of heat and the sex is downright hot. Now if you can get past the female in the story, the book is damn good. A little on the odd side though. Now to stop all my bitching about the female, the story itself is fantastic. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story.

I would recommend reading it.

Scarred and reeling from having been left by his spouse, he takes a mission that he knows from the start he will hate: acting as the bodyguard for a cybernetically enhanced, quasi-telepathic ambassador.

Ambassador Najee is a man overly inquisitive about the pasts of others and unwilling to share his own. But while his motives may be mysterious, who he wants isn’t: Leviss. Soon it’s Leviss’s hatred of ambassadors and his determination to not be distracted from his mission pitted against a lust that will not be denied.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I must admit I had a lot of trouble with this story. I was continuously struggling trying to figure out what certain terms meant not to mention a few things about Leviss and his so-called psychic voice. Why would Leviss take an assignment to be the bodyguard of an ambassador when he did not like them due to his ex? It made absolutely no sense to me.

The voice or visions were annoying a little as they happened frequently at the beginning. Najee annoyed me when he seemed to know things before Levissa and never told him. The sex was hot.

While I love science fiction stories this one had me scratching my head as to what was happening. I think it would have been better if there had been more details and the story was longer. As it was, it seemed like it was written without the much-needed details that would help the reader understand things more clearly.

Blurb: Anemone Zerr had been imprisoned, used by the Cadre for his Earth Mystic abilities. He’d been locked away so long, he’d started fantasizing that a cat shifter would come and rescue him. When Hunter Keif showed up, a cheetah shifter, Anemone was convinced the man couldn’t be real.

Hunter Keif couldn’t believe the man he was staring at, curled up on the floor, nearly dead, was his mate. His heart broke with the knowledge that Anemone had been through so much pain at the hands of the Vlad Kempf, leader of the Cadre. It would take time, but Hunter would do whatever it took to help his mate heal.

But with Vlad intent on getting Anemone back, will the two be able to find a way to let their love grow or it will be trampled into the ground by the enemy?

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order. This series also coincides with events happening in the Paranormal Wars: Stone Haven series.

This book has become my new favorite in the Paranormal Wars world. From the minute I started reading I could not put it down.

Anemone has been in hell for the past eighty years. Drugged, beaten, raped, and forced to harm the environment for selfish people’s wants. All his has are the fantasies he creates to take himself away from his hell. His favorite is the one about a cat shifter who comes and takes him away from all his has to endure.

One day the fantasies become the reality.

I loved Hunter. He is the team’s assassin, and was trained from a young age by his sadistic parents to show no emotion. He has lived that way since. That all changes when he rescues Anemone, his mate. I loved how he went out of his way to make Anemone comfortable. Serious cute factors in the things he does for Anemone.

When the two finally consummate their mating, wow, just so loving and sweet and tender. Hunter really takes into consideration all that Anemone has been through. Hunter does all he can to never make Anemone feel threatened or scared about their sexual relationship.

I really enjoyed the slow burn this two had. Anemone is definitely suffering from PTSD, and Hunter completely understands it. The sweet little things does for Anemone, loved them, especially the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference.

The best is when the chips are down, and Anemone takes back himself and fights back any way he can. This boy can do some damage and I cheered him on for it. Hunter was not bad either.
I simply loved this story. It was touching, sweet, loving, and sexy. Shea Balik really out did herself on this one.

Blurb: Wyatt Klaegar was tired of trying to keep the peace between his friends’ constant bickering and childish antics. The older he got, the less he found humor in their jokes, wishing they would just take life more seriously.

Basil Riddick had little joy in his life while growing up, yet he still managed to find a way to laugh. From the time he was little, he was pushed by his parents into being the best, including graduating at the age of eighteen with a medical degree. When he finally got away from his domineering parents, Basil swore to have as much fun as possible. Too bad when he found his mate, the man wouldn’t know fun if it had hit him in the head.

As the saying goes, opposites attract, and Wyatt was pretty sure Basil was his complete opposite when it came to being mature. But Basil was determined to show Wyatt how to lighten up and laugh.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order. This series also coincides with events happening in the Paranormal Wars: Stone Haven series.

Basil is bored, so when offered the chance to move to the Latin Territory to be the Alpha and inner circles doctor he jumps at the chance. When he gets there he meets his mate Wyatt.

Wyatt is termed as the big brother to his team, as he is a year older than all of them. Also he was the oldest of six siblings and was charged with helping to take care of them when he was younger. Now he is constantly having to mediate between his team members.

Really everything boils down to Wyatt being a stuck in the mad and Basil liking to have fun and laugh. Their two points of view do conflict through a good part of the book. Wyatt wants Basil to be more mature. While Basil wants Wyatt to have more fun and laugh more.

I loved Basil and understood his desire to enjoy life to the fullest. He is able to not only help Wyatt but also the whole team. Wyatt was a bit of a douche for part of the book. But I could also see where he was coming from. The stress the team has been under since they landed in the Latin Territory has been high. Luckily Basil came to the rescue and helped them all out.

I enjoyed this book. There were a good amount of light scenes to balance out the serious ones. The sex was pretty damn hot too. These two are perfect for each other in that regard definitely.

This was a good solid addition to the world the author has created.

Romeo ends up falling for Justice and coming to his aid when he is captured. Intense scenes and fights as well as action packed and some hot sex made for a fantastic read. Can’t wait to read more in this series. Love it so far.

Blurb: Prince Ryuu hates his father, Emperor Midian. When he’s forced to buy a slave, he defiantly chooses Drakon instead of a woman. Because he’s determined to overthrow his father’s empire, he can’t afford to show vulnerability, but Drakon is more compelling than he’d anticipated. For an Arethuza warrior, affection is a weakness that can lead to death.

Drakon isn’t really a slave—he’s a black dragon, considered cursed by everyone. Despite his people’s distrust, he will do anything to keep them safe, even submit to an Arethuza prince. He never expected to find love, and that complication could ruin his plans to sabotage the emperor’s war campaign. Though Ryuu is his fated mate, their fledgling bond is a secret too dangerous for Drakon to reveal.

Will their duty tear them apart? Can honor prevail in a war that might be too violent for even the strongest dragon warrior?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is a unique story that I wasn’t too sure about at first. It was told with a serious tone to it and I didn’t sense any humor to it. Now normally I don’t go for stories where there is no humor however this story is about dragons and wars.

Like I have always said there is nothing better than a good paranormal. I don’t usually see that many involving dragons and was quite impressed. Now I must admit that there was something missing in it that was needed to make it perfect. It felt a bit like it had been rushed when it was written but it does not take away from the story itself.

Ryuu hates his father with a passion. His father kept them all prisoners to the point that even his mother wore chains. His father had decided it was time for him to take a slave and mate with her. The Emperor wanted children. Not for the reason that one would think. There was an idea that his mother’s people held the form of a dragon. Not that he believed him, but then again he hated it all. So to defy his jerk of a father, he chooses a male slave.

Now that slave had a secret of his own.

Drakon was in fact a black dragon. He was not a slave but a prince from a place that Ryuu’s father had not taken yet. He was there to kill the Emperor, but found himself mated with Ryuu. Now all he had to do is to show Ryuu, that he was in fact a dragon just as Drakon himself was. They had to stop the war that was coming.

Now anyone with a hint of knowledge about dragons would know that Drakon means dragon. Which is what made it a kick for me, even more than the story. I love Erin’s stories and this was no different. I had a blast with it and look forward to reading more like this story. I do wish that it had been longer though. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story.

I would definitely recommend this story. It has a kick to it that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Blurb: When a distant planet’s ownership is in dispute, conquering aliens turn defiant human males into pampered sex slaves.

In a not-too-distant future, a lopsided war has led to aliens invading and occupying an Earth settlement. Wid is a young colonist who has been caught harassing the aliens. He and his friends are rounded up and sent to an alien warship patrolling the disputed space. His fate is to serve as a sex slave for the ship’s imposing captain.

Wid, at first, fights against his enslavement, but soon learns that not only does he stand no chance against the much larger and stronger captain, he isn’t sure he even wants to.

Like all Travian males, Kell is bound by duty to defend his people. Having risen to the rank of captain, he nevertheless chafes against the boring and endless patrol of the space invaded by the humans. His misses his family and constantly guards against his scheming first officer. He sees his reward of a human sex slave as more of a nuisance. Yet the pretty, fair-haired human’s exotic allure is hard to resist. He finds far more pleasure in the use of his pet than he would like.

Kept naked and leashed, Wid’s days are filled with boredom, while his nights wrapped in Kell’s arms turn from fear into pleasure. Even as the humans plot their escape, Wid and Kell form a bond and their growing affection cannot be ignored. When tensions boil over among the aliens, Wid and his friends may be Kell and his crew’s only chance for survival.

Reader Advisory: This book contains sex scenes of both non-consensual and dubious consent, as well as scenes of violence, abuse and torture.

Review: This review may contain spoilers. Also the Reader Advisory is very real and very serious. So if rape is a trigger please don’t read this book.

Wid is a twenty year old human male living on an Earth colony with his family. Things were rough but the humans were making the new world work. Until the Travians came and claimed that the once uninhabited world belonged to the.

I’m not going to lie. This book starts out as straight up rape. Then moves to dubious-consent. At no point is there really a part where Wid is completely on board with everything. At least I don’t think so.

I felt bad for Wid and the situation he got himself into. For being a stupid boy he was forced into the life of a sex slave. No matter what feeling developed between him and Kell, he will always be considered a sex slave. Even as Wid comes to enjoy the forced sex, I still felt skived out a bit. When Wid started to fall for Kell, I really didn’t know what to think.

I was not very impressed with Kell. He called Wid an “it” for a good portion, besides the raping deal. The Travians are a matriarchal society, so the women are in charge and the men are the military. Kell has a female mate that he loves and misses. However in their world men are allowed to have male sex partners, or pets. He only raped Wid in the start to make sure his scent was marking him, and to keep his stature at receiving such a gift as a human pet.

Even through an almost mild emotional bond forms between Kell and Wid, there is never going to really be more. So this left me at loose ends. I read through all the rape scenes, Wid being lashed like an animal, the descriptions of what the other humans went through, and all to be left feeling let down.

I want a happy ending with my stories, and this gives maybe a happy for now deal. As this is billed as a series, I am really hoping for more in the next book.

Blurb: In a world where intellect and achievement are valued above all else, a young man risks everything to save his brother from a life of slavery. Thrown into a harsh, unyielding world where slaves are treated as less than animals, Sascha struggles to come to terms with everything he knows being ripped away from him, but a life of success could never prepare him for his life as one of the Demoted. Sinking lower and lower, Sascha begins to lose hope, but the whim of a mysterious, wealthy man has the potential to change all that.

Cashiel has a dark history that he guards carefully. Between family and business and politics, he rarely has time for a slave, much less a lover. But when he sees a young man who reminds him of the very history he is trying to escape, he makes an impulse decision that he’s not sure whether to regret or not. The slave could expose everything, or he could be the most valuable asset that Cashiel has ever acquired.

Cashiel and Sascha share desires, hopes, and a home. Each man is limited by status, hindered by history, and desperate to succeed.

The question is, will that be enough?

Reviewer: Prime

Review: This was a really interesting read, although up front I am going to say you should stay clear if you take issue to reading a main character who suffers slave-type sexual exploitation and abuse (not necessarily from the other main character, but it is borderline). It is a very specific genre but I feel in the unrecognisable world created it works well.

Sascha became a slave in order to save his brother. He became a sex slave but is badly abused at the brothel where he worked. But the knight in not so shiny armour, Cashiel, buys Sascha when he needs to find a slave for Peace Day celebrations. It’s nowhere near as sleazy as it sounds, I assure you. These characters work well together and it really helps that we get to read the story from both Sascha and Cashiel’s POV. There is more to both Cashiel and Sascha than meets the eyes and their story is definitely not at an end. The next instalment shall prove interesting.

But I am left wondering what type of world where after another two further world wars is society so severely deteriorated that the “demoted” – basically those without a high IQ – are sterilised and brutalised in order to completely recondition them to become slaves?

T.M. Smith - The Opposites Opposites

Opposites

(Opposites 01)
by

T.M. Smith

In the year 2081 our planet survived global warming of an apocalyptic scale. When the dust settled and the water receded Dr. Anthony Smith, one of only a few hundred survivors of GWI, started society anew. Having come to the conclusion that injudicious breeding played a huge role in the destruction of Earth as we knew it in the twenty first century, he worked closely with other survivors to isolate the Dionysus gene. This gene has the ability to manipulate human DNA to ensure that all male children be born gay, and all female children be born lesbians. A new society is born.

In the year 2300 Dr. Smith’s descendants are ushering in the twenty fourth century having maintained control of the government that still rules society. Twins Aiya and Aiyan are preparing to meet their matches and take control of House Gaeland, the current ruling House. But not everything is as it seems.

Love is Love.. it knows no gender and doesn’t conform to restrictions and boundaries. Aiyan has found his soul mate in Kaden, the prince of House Devi that he is matched with and eventually marries. But when the person Aiya falls in love with tests the boundaries put in place after GWI, all hell breaks loose. And in the midst of one secret unraveling, another will emerge. There is a growing anomaly that threatens to destroy over two hundred years of progression. This anomaly is known as Opposites.

Appearances

(Opposites 02

Appearances can be deceiving.

Raven and Tanis are trying very hard to merge their vastly different lifestyles, but Tanis issues with his own past could prove to be more than their fragile relationship can handle. Is their love for each other strong enough to weather the oncoming storm? 

Aiya and Sawyer have fought hard to be together in a world where Opposite relationships are generally forbidden. Yet, they are still forced to keep their relationship a secret while they are outside the walls of House Gaeland. 

Everyone assumes that the only threat lies outside their walls, the group of rebels led by Cillian. But something is happening within House Gaeland, something that hasn’t happened since GWI. And with all the attention focused on that, their guard is down. An evil that was under their nose all along strikes, and someone will make the ultimate sacrifice to save another.

T.M. Smith - The Cellar 300x450

The Cellar

(Opposites 02.5)

It’s time to learn the truth about what happened that day in The Cellar.

Taryn and Thanos are the formidable Ambassadors of House Orion. Taryn was born into power, bred from birth to lead the people of Greece along with his sister Theresa, Thanos was never a part of his mother’s plan. The son of a fisherman was not a suitable match for the son of Greece as far as their mother was concerned, but Taryn always takes what he wants. 

The Cellar is the story of how these two men met and fell in love, and what lengths Taryn went to, to ensure he kept his man. This novella also contains a more detailed accounting of what happened the night Raven and Tanis went for a walk on the beach, and the adult version of Mistletoe and Mayhem that was initially released as a free short through Goodreads.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Into the New World collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. There is something about the way that Frey tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break.

Micah saved Erik’s life when he bonded with him to get him away from the witch that held him prisoner. He had no realized that it basically mated them. He wasn’t so sure what to think about it, even though he did want Erik. He felt like he didn’t deserve his mate. However, he was turned on all the time.

Now that his master had been killed, he was running on hope. That ended when his home’s leader wanted him back. He wanted to beat, torture and possibly rape him. He was terrified and even more so. His family was in danger from the man. Now he could only pray and hope they find a way to save his mother and father.

Erik was saved by Micah and loved the fact that he was bonded to the little man. He did love to tease him by calling him pretty, although his mate did have a feisty attitude about it. He was slowly falling in love with the man who save him and bonded with him. He would do everything in his power to keep him safe.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Frey puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a bit of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me almost everything I could want in a book.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving, and having fun.

Review: Each book in Space Warriors collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way Sydney can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Sydney Lain.

There is something about the way that Sydney tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break.

Eli had been basically sold by his family to the Axel Group. He started off making things to help people. Kill diseases and other helpful ideas were what he had wanted to create. That is until his owner had him make a weapon that would kill. If he resisted they would beat him but kept him alive no matter what.

His goal was to find a way to escape and then to destroy the weapon he had created. He lived with so much guilt that when help came in the form of his mate, he was afraid. He didn’t mind dying as long as he kept others safe. So when his mate basically saved him after his escape he was surprised and grateful.

Jonan was a warrior and hated the creations that killed. If you couldn’t kill with your own hands, then it was considered evil. That did not mean he hated his mate, in fact he wanted his mate naked and ready for him. He, at first followed to see what Eli was up to, and then when he found out that his mate was the man he had went to watch at the convention he was surprised and shocked. He knew his mate feared all and that he was leery of strangers. He decided to take matters in his own hand and protect his mate.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Sydney puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

Blurb: Rhys has spent his entire life in underground Winderport. He knew there was a whole other world above his “sky” but he wasn’t interested—until the day he chased a killer to that mystical upper world and saw Kullian, all six-foot something of perfection. So what if the man was a notorious and powerful Fey Baron? Rhys wasn’t a typical law-abiding citizen himself.The very fact the man was dangerous made him that much more attractive and had Rhys wanting things he’d never even considered before.

However, an injury causes Rhys to lose his memory and his only clues to his identity are his gun and a camera with pictures of Kullian’s silver eyes looking right into the lens. But Rhys does have a couple memories—a very strong desire for the dangerous Kullian and he was after a murderer, a killer that just might be Kullian himself…

Review: This is the second edition and there are no noticeable changes. Rhys lives in underground Winderport with his gang Fury. They all know that there is a world above them that they have heard stories about, but never do they ever expect to leave the underground. When one of his gang, Joey, is murdered, Rhys is on the trail of the killer all the way up to above Winderport, where the killer has a meeting with a mysterious man. But Rhys has an accident and forgets everything. All he has to go on is a flash of memory of fat fingers and some pictures of a sexy man. When he meets Kullian, he can’t fight the attraction but he has to regain his memories, as he knows there is something important he has to do.

This is a great story set some time in the future where the underground tunnels has its own civilization and the above world is run by powerful men. Rhys is the leader of his gang, a small group of guys who are like family, but now one of their own has been murdered and Rhys is determined to make the killer pay. Kullian is a Fey Baron, a self-made powerful man, and somebody has stolen something that should never fall into anyone’s hands and he wants it back. The two men cross paths and their worlds collide. But, can their attraction really breach the divide of above and underground Winderport?

Rhys and Kullian are both great characters who come together by chance, Rhys is looking for the murderer of his friend, and Kullian wants back what was stolen. Their paths cross and their reaction to each other is instant, but Rhys’ memory loss is hampering him and after an amazing night with Kullian he attempts to go on the hunt again. While the story is playing out above ground, we also see what is happening underground with Rhys’ gang and their desperation to find Rhys but they also have to deal with a rival gang boss who has a grudge against Rhys. The gang characters Teneff, Pylei, Nerin, Westvil and Guneal are wonderfully written and add a lot to the story. Enriching the storyline and helping to connect the threads together.

I recommend this to those who love futuristic stories, great characters, a well woven plot, a great storyline with danger, twists and tense situations, a fast developing relationship, hot sex and a great ending.
