About this listen

Book 9 in the New Species series. While each New Species book is a standalone, the greatest enjoyment will come from listening to them in series order.

Beauty resents being labeled Gift Species. Everyone is way too overprotective, males aren’t even allowed to speak to her and so far, true freedom eludes her. Then a big, sexy Species officer mistakes her for the enemy and takes her down - literally. Shadow is dumbfounded. He has a Gift pinned beneath him - a big no-no. But Beauty is fascinated and wants to know Shadow a lot better. She's full of newly discovered, unrequited passion and he’s just what she needs to satisfy her curiosity.

For Shadow, sex means pain and loathing. For Beauty, enslavement and ridicule. Two lonely souls who have never known a loving touch, together in a cabin in the woods. Every caress, every discovery brings them closer to a life they never thought possible... beyond even their wildest dreams.

This was a very touching story and I am God Laurann decided to put these two characters together. Great narration. On to the next book.

Made me smile

I love how Beauty had the courage to go looking for what she wanted and showed strength when others thought her weak....otherwise she'd still be lonely and exactly where she had been....to which I can relate. This book had showed me where I need courage and that I haven't been living but existing as well.

I'm just slight disappointed there wasn't a preview for the next book at the end...lol. Besides the promise of hot sexy men in the next book, I liked hearing the teaser to spur me on to buy it.

What does Vanessa Chambers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator is the reason that I have purchased every audio book in this series. The story is good but the narrator Vanessa Chambers makes this book a thousand times better!!! A narrator can totally kill a book and this is an example where the narrator just makes this book AMAZING!!! Great Job

Huge fan of this series

I loved the interaction between these two people. They each came from such tragic pasts but learned to experience new things & fall in love together. It also had its thrills & danger.

Such a romantic but super sexy story

Very excited to finally have a Species female story although it took about half of the book for them to get their heads out of their butts. Makes sense since Beauty is a gift female but slow burns aren’t my taste. Good story overall. Loved when she wound up protecting Shadow.

This book was a little different than what we are used to.
Beauty is Species but she is also a gift female. Meaning she was made smaller almost helpless and sold to sick people who wanted to “own” a pet.

Sick right! I was glad when this one was saved in a previous book. But Beauty wants to be more like the other Females, but because she is gift all her people protect her even from themselves.

She is very attracted to Shadow and Shadow is very attracted to her but because she is labeled gift he stays away.

But the heart wants and even when they are put together. I was so saddened to see how much they both “hide” there true feelings because of there pasts.

They kind of heal each other. I enjoyed this book a lot. It was different and we get to see a different kind of love story. And how pain can heal pain.

Again the narration blows me away. Vanessa does a fabulous job as always.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

It was quite a twist using a "gift" as the heroine. Two very abused people find each other and the Homeland story line continued nicely. Narration was good.

Good One!

Any additional comments?

I just started reading this series on 4/21/16 and haven't been able to stop since. So happy to see a story devoted to a Species couple. Beauty and Shadow are my favorite! I didn't want their story to end. They were so broken and fragile but in the end were able to help each other to build a strong, loving and lasting relationship. I laughed, I cried and just rooted for them to make it. Definitely the best in the series so far!!!!

My Favorite Couple!!!!

This is another one of my favorite books. It was refreshing to hear about a new species male and female. Beauty and Shadow are quite the couple. Loving this series; now on to Moon!

Fantastic Story
