About this listen

Kira: In the blink of an eye, my whole world has collapsed around me. Headed towards my dream vacation, I was snatched right out of the air. My husband, the love of my life, was destroyed right in front of my eyes. He fought bravely trying to protect me from a horror neither one of us could have ever imagined. I find myself standing in the spotlight on a stage. Mutilated and tortured, the blood from my body flowing freely down my legs along with my will to live. Piercing yellow eyes emerge from the darkness, but even the shadows can't hide his imposing form. Gentle, but terrifying arms reach out for me, and within their embrace, can I find the will to live again?

DaR: I am a badass, known throughout the galaxy for my brutality, as a ruthless and feared commander. With that being said, somehow I still got coerced into purchasing a slave. My eyes fall upon a small female whose very essence and eternal light is leaking out of her onto the floor below her. I walk up among the beings surrounding her and pull her from the stage, daring, or should I say hoping they try to do something about it. The moment I put her in my arms, everything changes.

Contains mature themes.

I was completely surprised

This book was so much better than I expected. Tor Thom did the job expected from him (great) and I found Emily great also at the female voice. the world and the direction this story took was believable. lots of trauma but it is necessary for the effect of the relationship growing in this book. the description is no way as good as the book really is worth a credit. worth the Read

Love, loss, and love again

This book deals a lot with overcoming the loss of a loved one. It could be rough for those still processing grief of this kind (I had my moments for sure).

The story is pretty brutal at the beginning and the violence/torture was graphic, but there is no rape or sexual assault scenes. The universe that is built seems to be very dangerous for everyone, however after the initial setup, there isn't really much more in the rest of the story and none at that same intensity.

It is a really good slow romance with a mature (40+) female main character which brings a new dynamic to the typical abducted by aliens theme. This is about overcoming loss of not just a loved one, but of everything familiar and learning how to move forward and embrace the new. Solid sci-fi romance with a nod to fantasy, but not erotica. Again, this is a slow building relationship story.

I enjoyed it and was very surprised at the ending as I was expecting some of the characters to be the next stories in the series (and maybe they will), but it ties a lot of them up in a bow enough for this to be a solid stand-alone book.

My only criticism is of Tor Thom's narration. His voice is so very rich and masculine that his female and child characters sometimes sound too rough and similar. I really wish they had done a duet narration style for this book as I think it would have been more effective for the storytelling.

Loved It!

I loved this book. It was my first from this author and I will definitely be continuing this series! Great world building and wonderful characters. My heart broke for the horror, suffering, and loss Kira endured at the beginning of this book. Honestly I'm impressed she didn't break. I loved DaR. He was powerful, respected, but also caring. I loved his relationship with his sons- at least those closest to him. It was unique. I loved how different each one was and I cannot wait to read their stories. She made his dwelling a home, and he gave her family. I also loved Sage- what I wouldn't give to have a dwelling like her! And her little pet was adorable. I want one of those, too!

Emily Sutton-Smith and Tor Thom did a wonderful job with this audiobook. Tom has a perfect deep, masculine voice. While not as good at softening when he has to voice female or child characters, is perfect for our alpha. I liked Emily for Kira and loved her southern accent.

The story line was phenomenal!

I have never heard a story line like this one. What got me hooked first were the narrators. The h was a woman in here 40s. She was an empty nester with the love of her life. She grieved after she lost her husband in an aliens house. I could go on and on. Didn’t discuss the H. He was great too. They both had emotions expected from an older generation. I recommend!

very good food

This book is excellent as an alien and human relationship forms, and they bond; they genuinely join our way to love each other. After a horrifying loss in her life, she falls in love with this alien, and they kind of build a life together, a respectable life together. If you are looking for an excellent romantic book, this book is the one.

Well I’m just going to say it…. This is a damn good Book

I was never a fan of alien love stories, but this book as changed my closed mind. I love the plot, characters, and narration. Now I can’t wait for the next one to become available. If you like a good romantic reading, this is the book for you, it is really a good read and well worth the credit.
