From their first encounter, she knew he was trouble.

A top operative in her field, Elise was trained since youth to be one of Earth's most elite soldiers. But nothing could prepare her for Tyrminus and the deadly aliens taking over the city. She is given one job: Find the Grayhart team of explorers that have disappeared within the undercity and bring them back alive, a seemingly impossible mission. There is one rule: Stay away from the alien bounty hunters, especially their terrifying and hypnotic leader, Nezka, who has been assigned to hunt down the mysterious criminal overlord now ruling the undercity. As much as Elise would gladly abide by that rule, fate had other plans.

Now, Nezka is her only hope of surviving. Despite how wicked and dangerous he may seem, the ruthless hunter claims he will aid her in the fight to save the others and escape the city. Because protecting her suddenly seems his top priority. But Nezka carries dark secrets, including a separate mission that could destroy the growing bond between them.

Can she trust him? Or will he be her end?

interesting storyline if a bit predictable. Unfortunately the heroines tend to be consistently and frustratingly stupid, but it all turns out in the end.

fun world building

Just plan fun. The Dark World Mates books are all listed as romances, but they are much heavier on hard sci-fi and horror that most in this genre. I’ve enjoyed them all.

Excellent SciFi Adventure

This book is almost as good as book nr 1 in this series witch was one of the best sci-fi romance I have ever read. I can not believe that they are not more popular. The narrators are excellent as well. Will start the next book at once....

Sci-fi at its best

Well written and executed book. Everything to keep you engaged….action…drama…romance…adventure…and tugs at the heart strings. Both narrators did an excellent job…very talented artists who bring many authors books even more to life, especially for those of us who like to listen instead of reading. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it for those who love the sci-fi romances that are meaty and have lots of substance and a bit of all of the above mentioned to round it out.

Excellent Book and Expertly Narrated

Olivia Riley is getting better at the smexy scenes, keep up the good work! This story line was pretty good and I’m looking forward to the next installment in this series. These narrators are awesome, too!

Liked!

I loved that this story was full of action and the building of the story. This is not an instant love story which is refreshing! This story grabbed me from the beginning and kept to me to the end! This story may contain triggers with some of the more intense scenes.

Action Packed

The story started off a little slow but once you hit that 51% mark, it ramps up! This was at another great book In this series.

Grumpy MMC who is suppose to bring humans back to his leader.
Military Solider FMC who gets trapped with him on a mission and is unaware of his alternative mission. Along the way, he teaches her to fight and they have to go on a secret mission of their own. They are forced to behave and do some questionable things to survive and in the end she finds out his betrayal. But the the way it wrapped up was fantastic. I’m so glad I found this series. Narration was superb!

Nezka and Elise

I really enjoyed this series so far but not so much with this book. It just seem to be a lot of fighting and Elise getting hurt. And, to be honest I could not develop any empathy for our hero Nezka. I’m not a big fan of romances in which one of the partners is keeping dangerous, damaging secrets from the other. I know that it’ll all work out in the end but while it’s happening, I hate the feeling or sense of betrayal. I don’t know why they keep changing the narrators but these two did an excellent job.

Good, but…
