About this listen

Riley Morgan desperately needs a reset on his life. Pit fights with aliens and illegal salvage jobs are barely enough to get by—until a salvage op turns up a beautiful stranger in a stasis pod and a clear case of kidnapping. Helping her means throwing away what’s left of his life. The trouble only gets deeper when the stranger turns out to be a wildly illegal artificial intelligence built for assassination.

Like Riley, Selene has been used and abused by her bosses… and like Riley, she longs for a life of her own choosing. Riley and Selene are ready for the struggle ahead. They aren’t ready for the dangerous and sexy aliens in their way, or the glitzy parties and corporate conspiracies, and they certainly aren’t ready for the spark between one another.

Hot start to finish

Grounded SciFi fantasy meets, Spicy Romance. Add in Tess Irondale's sexy voice and it's perfect. (On my third re listen for science purposes)

I think this deserves at least a second book

The characters and story deserves a second book to make a great series. Maybe even meet up with those merc women.

Elliot Kay, Tess Irondale, and spicy adventure.

This was a fun engaging story with possibilities for return. And Tess Irondale’s narration is excellent. Hot Restart has some of the fun elements from both the Good Intentions and Poor Man’s Fight series, but is very much its own wonderful ride. If you’re already a fan of Mr. Kay’s work, you will thoroughly enjoy this. If you’re unfamiliar, this is a great place to start.

Good Intentions and Poor Man's Fight had a Baby

Tough to call this a sexier version of Poor Man's Fight, or a slightly less erotic sci-fi spin on Good Intentions, but in either case first class work by Elliott Kay. Those familiar with the work of Eliott Kay will have already snapped this audiobook by reflex. Kay really is one of Audibles underappreciated authors. Narration is by Tess Irondale, who is truly gifted as a story teller

Love Mr Kay and Ms Irondale

This author and this narrator are such a compelling combination. I have yet to encounter another male author who can make the balance between lust and love work so well. And Tess Irondale is just…perfection.

Fantastic voices. Vivid world. Great story.

This book was worth the wait to get on audible. Tess Irondale did a stellar job.

To much to unpack, read my review.

I am a huge fan of Elliot Kay! He is one of the most intelligent Authors, and his books are amazing. Natural Consequences and Poor Man's Fight book series are in my top 4 book series of all time. in addition, this books writing is equally intellectual and thought provoking.

Unfortunately, as Kyle is developing a truly wonderful relationship with Selena, I cringed as he tries to develop an equally loving relationship with another. Open relationships, and polyamory are great, fun, and exciting. However, with this series Kyle and Selena are pursuing loving relationships outside of the one they have with one another.

I felt sad and cringe about the entire situation.

That being said, Elliott Kay is the best. I just had a hard time with this one.
