An alien warrior and a fierce shape-shifter who drive each other crazy must work together to save an entire planet from a terrifying evil.

First Claw Annora Rahl is tough, fierce, and loyal. She stands at her emperor’s side to protect the wolf shape-shifters of the planet Damar, and she isn’t afraid to use her claws. Stopping an evil king from a neighboring planet, who’s intent on enslaving all the planets in their system, is her top priority. She won’t fail her family, her people, or her emperor. Even if it means joining forces with an infuriating rival warrior…one who she isn’t sure if she wants to kill or kiss.

Captain Thadd Naveri is strong, unyielding, and dedicated. As captain of the guard for the overlord of the planet Zhalto, he lets nothing threaten his king or his people. He’s still recovering from his capture and torture by the enemy, but he readily accepts a top-secret mission into enemy territory. He’s less than pleased to share that mission with Annora—the one woman in the galaxy who fills him with scalding hot anger…and burning desire.

To save their allies on the planet Taln, Thadd and Annora must sneak into the enemy’s most feared science labs. As they fight side by side, they are forced to face their overwhelming attraction. But as the enemy closes in, it is a race against time to save not only Taln but themselves.

Another great listen to this series! Now it’s the captain of the guard.. obviously.. good lord Stacey get.it.together. It’s refreshing to hear other actors voices and how they bring these characters to life. Well for me. Anyways, this is action pack and I enjoyed listening to the banter of these two characters.

First off, we were wondering when these two characters would get together! Yes, there was a strong clue in the previous book, but it doesn't always happen right away or in the way one expects.

The narrators did a pretty good job (we think it would have been more awesome if the story were done in dual narration) and the story had plenty of action and surprises.

We only have two complaints:
1. The whole 'human women are so tiny' thing drives us nuts. We're not all the same, so I'll never get why this author is hung up on the 'he's so huge/she's so tiny' thing, as if only tiny women deserve awesomeness *scratches head in confusion*.
2. We hope that the author keeps this series up. We've read several of her series and it seems that when she gets to a certain point, the stories become 'filler' or so much like the previous books that we don't bother finishing.

Crossing our fingers, toes, eyeballs and everything else that's cross-able that this series continues with its strong (but not boneheaded) characters and solid storyline.

Fingers crossed!

Thad and Anoura take on the most dangerous mission of their lives in order to protect the people they care about most. Anna Hackett does it once again putting together just the right amount of danger , passion , action and so much adventure. Stephen Dexter and Vivienne Leheny do an amazing job bringing not only the story to life but the characters as well. Their voice captivate and will keep you listening long into the night. Highly recommend ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️

An absolutely delicious treat ♥️

Annora Rahl is a wolf shape shifter from the planet Damari. She is Emperor Brodin Damar Sarkany’s right-hand warrior, which in the lingo of the Damari, means she is his First Claw. She has been tasked to work with Captain Thadd Naveri of the planet Zhalto, who has an equivalent leadership role on that planet. He was taken prisoner recently and his body was experimented upon by alien scientists. He is still having trouble accepting this invasion of his body, and since then, he’s been ignoring the fact that his abilities have altered. The task that Annora and Thadd must complete is to stop a warlord from mining genite (which is toxic to the people of Thadd’s planet) on Andret, one of the five planets of their solar system. They are determined to succeed, and not let any genite leave Andret.

Anyway, Thadd and Annora have to work together on this mission, and on a further mission, but Annora is used to leading, and it seems that Thadd is as well. So they clash when Thadd wants to take over, and when he seems to disrespect her abilities as a leader and a warrior. They must figure out how to see the skills of the other as a plus, and then learn how to work together. After they do all that, they naturally fall in love. Of course, there are numerous challenges, arguments, fights, dangerous situations, and stinky aliens to fight first, but they do figure it out. This leads to a highly entertaining story that is fast-paced and tense.

The narration is excellent! Vivienne Leheny and Stephen Dexter do a good job of bringing this story to life. When Dexter starts narrating, it’s almost as if he’s speaking just a bit over a whisper, and it pulls the reader in fully. Yet when he voices different characters, they are fully believable and sound full and rich. Leheny does a fantastic job voicing different characters as well. There aren’t any skips or mouth noises evident in the recording.

Get ready for an adventure!!

King Zavir is still attacking the planets and people of the system, this time by developing a weapon of destruction for planet Taln through the use of a specific crystal deadly to its people.

Captain Thad Naverri and First Claw Annora Rahl volunteer for a mission to infiltrate and destroy the threat before the weapon can be completed and sent to Taln.

These two spark strong emotions in each other from the beginning, but as they spend more time together and battle what comes their way, I love what starts to develop.

Great standalone story within a larger epic world.

The fight continues

Finally bruiting ole Thad let’s his guard down and allows love in! Despite King Zavir still playing dirty romance blossoms in the air. These 2 make a kick azz team when trying to stop the nasty machine that comes to play in this book. I love how this series has so much action and so much love all mixed into one. Crazy adventure how humans come to fall in love with people and shape shifters from different planets. I love the team work that arises to save the planets from their evil father. I hope this series continues so we can finally see the brothers be able to live peacefully with their new loves 💕Anna Hackett is amazing at writing these stories and giving you all kinds of feels through each book. Vivienne and Stephen have the perfect voices, emotions and expressions to captivate you from chapter 1 to the end. Awesome job all around

About time Thad!!!

I love all of Anna Hackett's stories. So it os no surprise that the story has an amazing balance of action and science fiction.

Vivienne Leheny was excellent in her narration. Stephen Dexter was okay. I loved his villain voice, but his narration as Thadd (Hero) was a little too nasal for me.

Overall, I would highly recommend this!

Great story! 4.5 stars overall

Thadd and Annora..FINALLY! I have been waiting for these two alphas story to see what was going to happen. I was not disappointed! They have the push/pull arguments that are so fun to watch. Then they are all about protection which is to be expected. I loved watching these two battle it out and finally succumb.

This story surprised, thrilled and is full of action! The characters have growth and determination. I did listen to this on audio. Vivienne Leheny and Stephen Dexter do an amazing job portraying these two (and others). I now am eagerly looking forward to the next in the series.

Yes..Yes..YES to this amazing story!
