Publisher's summary

As a former assassin in the Hunter program, Asher is one of a small group of Gen One Breed vampires who survived the horrors of a madman's laboratory and the cruelty of the training that made him one of the most lethal beings in existence. Now, 20 years after his escape from those hellish origins, Asher is a loner whose heart is as cold as his skills are merciless. But when he thwarts a killing under way in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas, Asher meets a beautiful woman who draws him into a deadly game against powerful enemies....

Orphaned as a child after her mother's murder, Naomi Fallon didn't survive 26 years on the street without using up most of her nine lives. But when her latest caper lands her in the Mojave against a Vegas gangster's henchmen, she's certain her number is up. Then he appears - immense, brutal, and far from human. Naomi's never needed anyone's help, least of all one of the Breed. But, after one risk too many, only a man with Asher's skills can keep her safe. Yet, the solitary, seductively handsome vampire has enemies of his own and a secret that will not only shatter her faith in him but her heart, proving what she's feared all along - that trust is only an illusion, and love may be the sharpest weapon of all.

Contains mature themes.

Fabulous paranormal romance

This book was a good find. I was looking for something different and this book caught my attention with the great cover. It has suspense, a tad bit of a dark them and some turns you will not see coming. You will not be disappointed if you give it a chance.

Asher & Naomi, great off-shoot of original series

Asher is one of the Gen One hunters that had been released from captivity over fifteen years ago. He has lived a quiet life off grid outside of Las Vegas in the desert. Coming home from a supply run he saves Naomi from being killed and buried.
Naomi is a breed mate who has skills with manipulating machines. So in order to get revenge on a casino owner for a past wrong, she "wins" money from his slot machines or roulette wheels. She is always disguised as a different person each time. She uses the money to help street kids with her best friend and "brother" Michael.
Get this exciting book to find out what happens when the casino owner and his thugs come after her. Will Asher and Naomi becomes mated or will he send her to the Breed group in Tuscon for her safety?
This is a great off shoot of the original Breed series!
Nice narration.

Lovely Love story!

Absolutely loved this book. I was kept engaged and did not put down, read right through. Anxiously ready to read books 2, 3 and 4. My only recommendation is to have a female voice. When I hear a male, it makes hard to imagine a female. Overall, very well written.

Great Start to New Series

Great start to a new breed series. Asher is a tragic and tough hero. Naomi is a bada$$. I love how she is so sweet under the tough exterior. Strong performance from Roger Wayne.

Narration was lacking but good story

I would have continued with the series if there was a different narrator.... I couldn’t get past him. He was awful.

Great Spin-off Series

I love hearing what happened to the Breed Hunters after their captivity ended. This story of redemption was hopeful and as steamy as all the others in the original series.

Can't get it five stars cuz I don't need all the erotica

Thoroughly enjoyable book I got through it and I think of a week cuz I only listen to it in my car and I found myself listening to it and my studio because I was enjoying the story. That being said I do not need five chapters of graphic sex. I get that's part of the vampire story I do get it's very intercool in this story I just get really bored It's just too much for me.

did not distract from the enjoyment of the book I thoroughly enjoyed it I highly recommend it this series looking forward to book two
