Publisher's summary
Find the strongest man there. Give yourself to him in return for protection. It's the only way you'll ever survive. Convicted of a minor crime, Riana is sentenced to a prison planet - a dark primitive hold filled with convicts vying for power. Her only chance of survival is with Cain, a mysterious loner who has won his territory in the prison through intelligence and brute strength. Sex is all she has to offer, so she uses it. She's under no delusions here. No one is ever released, and no one ever escapes. Survival is all she can hope for - until Cain.
An earlier version of this book was published under the same title and a different penname. It has since been substantially revised and expanded.

Story
Now the last member of my family has died, and I'm forced to travel across what's left of three states to find the only people I know left alive. To survive, I'll have to salvage food and supplies and try to avoid violent men who've learned they can take what they want by force. The only way I'm going to make it is by trusting Travis. Travis used to fix my car, and now he's all I have left in the world. He's gruff and stoic and unfriendly, and I don't really know or like him. But he's all I have left. He'll keep me safe.

I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Except Ophelia always found the idea of monsters kind of intriguing. She even made the grave sin of committing some X-rated monster thoughts to paper—which in hindsight may not have been the best idea because her parents were mortified—but you live and learn.

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.

She hadn't really sold herself to a brooding stranger to save her father's life, right? Then she wakes, and her father is fully recovered, and a mysterious letter arrives from the tall, dark, handsome - um, devil? Yep, it was right there on the contract, Lucien Star, aka Lucifer Morningstar, that had been his name in the dream.... Gulp. What would the devil himself want with her? Sex. Three months of it, every Friday night.

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks click on a level that defies logic. There are only two problems. One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract. When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves.

Maybe Jackson would be different if he were in love. If he were in a relationship. Or, if the world outside this room hadn't fallen into violent chaos, hadn't become a constant war we have no choice but to fight. Maybe he would take his time. Be softer. Gentler. Maybe he would smile or even laugh. Maybe I would be different too. Maybe I wouldn't need his hungry eyes and demanding hands in the dark. But this is how we are together every time. He's not my friend or my boyfriend, but sometimes I go to his room after the sun goes down. I need to.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Okay
This story was just okay. I thought we would see more of the world they lived in but not really. They didn't enact with the other prisoners as I would have thought. I know it was dangerous but being in a place like that for so long you would need to communicate more with others.
I wanted to know more about the characters and their background. So yeah it was okay

Solid story for the length
This is a prison novella. There's some ?dub-con? Actually, it's a consent or die scenario. Cain (H) takes Riana's (h) body in exchange for securing her life. Even with that edgy premise, this was pretty mild. I had hoped for complete non-con and way more ruthlessness. Even worse, later in the book (when they grow close) the heroine tries to assuage the H's guilt for raping her by insisting that she chose him. Suuuuuuure, you 'chose' him over being the prison fleshlight. They basically dropped that woman into "The Purge" and said: good luck. Any notion of choice was an illusion. Idk why the author tried to neutralize her own setup with a cope.
I'd call the writing style 'surreal moment in time'. We don't get to know the players deeply, they don't express any emotion unless it's about what's happening right now, there's forced proximity because the couple share a cell, and there's exhibitionism because the cell offers absolutely no privacy for them, or from the general population of the prison.

So much better than I expected!
The one thing I absolutely cannot stand in any story is a weak heroine and asshole hero. I didn't think it was possible for that dynamic not to exist here when reading the blurb. I was wrong. Somehow this author managed to weave a story with a strong heroine and compassionate hero which was based on a complete imbalance of power and a powerless heroine.
If you're concerned this has some weak ass heroine with a pet/slave dynamic...it doesn't.

Raw and primal
I have read this story, in one version or another at least 10 times. When I saw that it was released in audiobook format I had to get it. The audiobook is becoming my favorite way to enjoy books. I think it’s because I can listen while driving, or at work, unlike a book.
The Audiobook version of Hold was excellent, Kirsten Leigh was fantastic, and I am thrilled that Kent acquired such a brilliant narrator to do her book justice. I will reiterate from my previous review that I love the original story better before Hall was introduced. Yet I understand that he is intricate in continuing the series. After going through the story a second time with Hall, this time in audiobook format, I was ok with his inclusion.
I really hope Kent release the other two books in the series in audiobook format, but if she doesn’t Hold will continue to be that book that I read over and over. It is just so raw and primal. I love it.

Perfect
Delivers on big emotions and some hot scenes while somehow managing to balance a brutal word with a sweet relationship. Exactly what I was looking for. Someone recommended this one as a good option if you liked Victoria Aveline’s “Choosing Theo,” and that rec was spot-on. I actually liked this one a bit better. Not a lot of fluff here. The plot moves quick and all the scenes feel necessary.

Find the strongest man & give yourself to him -!
Any additional comments?
I was so intrigued by the premise that, even though at the time (when the ebook first came out) I didn't think Sci Fi was my thing.
This is the book that changed my mind.
I loved it.
(And in fact, sci fi dark romance books are now my main reads)
I could talk about the bones of the book, but you have the blurb up there.
I'd love to dissect the unique mechanics of this couple's relationship, but I can't do that without spoilers.
Here's what I can tell you:
I WAS SO EXCITED to find this come out in audio!! And Kirsten Leigh is FABULOUS --- I was already familiar with her work (Preppy with Lance Greenfield anybody? *happy swooon* and Leigh has read Listed under this author's penname) and her voice talents shine beautifully with Hold too. It's funny; I prefer to read when I can, I just don't have the time anymore. But when I love the book, and the narrator is amazing, it can rival the experience of curling up and physically reading a book now - and Kirsten pulled that off with Hold. There is a line in this story where the heroine's voice is supposed to break in an emotional moment, and Kirsten did it *perfectly* --- I clapped. Seriously. I love great audiobooks, and this one was such a treat; I am beyond thrilled that I can listen to it whenever I want now --- and, it's worth noting, this book made it to my All Time Favorites list. The list of books that I'd want with me if I was stranded on a deserted, primitive island.
(A primitive island with electricity so that I can charge my kindle & phone of course or I'm gonna need everything in paperback...)
THAT'S how much I love this book.

Good narration and story line. Would have like for a longer story that focused more on the two main characters. Epilogue could have been a better happy ending.

Needs lighter (or pulpy) cover art
From the dark cover and summary, I was thinking this was going to be gritty, rough sci-fi erotica. Instead, it’s more like a romance set in Crematoria in the movie Riddick. While there were a handful of sex scenes, they’re rather quick, almost perfunctory, and consensual. I actually would have liked a bit more fire, and maybe some dirty talk or some juicier descriptions.
Thankfully, however, the decent naughty parts were paired with a surprisingly sweet romance and an entertaining prison adventure with some good sci-fi features.
If you are craving a prison sci-fi with hardcore MMMMFsmut, try Ferocious by Aurora Caine. It’s all scorch and burn and minimal story. Personally, I prefer a novella with more story, even if the naughty bits are just good, and not great.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
