About this listen
I will not let this dark elf noble hurt my child!
Kerym was my dark elf overseer. I gave into his charms. But when I found out I was pregnant, I knew I had to leave and go far away.
He needed to grow up without fear. And Kerym? He didn't love me. Dark elves are monsters who view humans as animals. Who knew what he'd do when he found out I was pregnant.
Three years have passed and I've raised my son, Jasper, without worry. Until the day my new overseer takes over the town I live in.
It's Kerym. He sees me. He sees Jasper. And I know this is not a coincidence. He's been searching for us.
Does he love me? Did he ever? Or are we just inconveniences he needs to wipe out on his path to power?
Why is he here?
Contains mature themes.

Story
On a ruined world, I fell in love with a monster. And now he's back. Not that it matters. He is an orc warrior. I am a human woman. Amid a blasted Earth ruined by invasion, Yggy was always kind to me. His handsome face caused me to fall in love. Until one night, when I realized his love for me would lead to my death. Against all protests from my heart, I had to leave Yggy. But my orc never stopped searching for me. He never gave up. He always loved me. But when he found me, he found someone else that shocked him to his core. Our child.

Story
Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right? Except there's one guest at the hotel who's always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes.

When space pirates attack the exploratory spaceship I work on and I'm forced to evacuate in an escape pod, I never expected to crash land on an alien planet. I have no idea where any of my fellow crew members are or if they even got away. I'm entirely alone. Or so I think. Instead, I'm rescued from a fierce predator by a towering purple alien with a tail and color-changing tattoos who ignites strange feelings inside me.

A year ago, one of the males in my village hurt me. When he tried to do it a second time, I took care of that problem—permanently. Then I'm selected for the annual Monster Mate Hunt where two village women must enter the forest to be claimed as an orc's bride. If an orc tries to take me, I'll handle him just as I did the man in my village. To my dismay, I'm captured by a band of treacherous thieves. I'm planning my escape when an enormous, snarly orc attacks the camp. He slays the thieves and announces I'm his fated mate.

I wanted him more than anything, but he wasn’t meant for me. Life in North Border is hard, but I don’t mind as long as I can steal a few moments alone with Clay Pulley at the end of the work day. He’s not my mate. If he were, our kisses would have triggered my heat by now. I know this can’t last, but it’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever had. I’m holding on tight to every single second. But then we’re caught together, and he declares in front of everyone that I don’t belong to him.

I accidentally launched an escape pod on my miserable honeymoon—with me on it—and crash-landed in the middle of an alien jungle on a forbidden "emerging civilization" planet, breaking about a hundred Cosmic Syndicate laws. Oh, and I robbed a hot lizard guy with sexy black eyes, the most colorful scales I've ever seen, and a powerful prehensile tail that curls up like a cinnamon roll. Even though I can't understand anything he's saying, my new reptilian friend turns out to be as sweet as honey and spicier than the seasoning he used on the meat I stole from his camp.

Narration type: Dual Narration
In the shadowed depths of Protheka’s mines, where humans toil under the distant gaze of dark elves, a story of forbidden love and sacrifice unfolds. It is a slow-burning, emotionally charged tale that explores what it means to choose love—or freedom—when the two may not coexist.
Layla, orphaned by a collapse the elves chose not to prevent, survives in Camp Horizon—a mining outpost with fewer chains than most, but chains nonetheless. Her nights are lonely, her options limited, and her future uncertain. Kerym, a dark elf soldier born of nobility, harbors no illusions about duty. The moment he falls for Layla, ambition fades into silence. Yet love in a fractured world like theirs doesn’t bloom; it breaks.
One night changes everything. A kiss, a night of closeness, and then months later—pregnancy. Layla flees, not from fear, but with fierce resolve to protect her child from the cruel stigma of a mixed heritage. Kerym, left behind, is told nothing. When he learns the truth years later, what remains isn’t bitterness—it’s devotion. He risks scandal and status to find her again.
Though steeped in sensuality, this isn’t just a romance. It’s about the legacies we inherit and the ones we fight to rewrite. The world-building paints a chilling contrast between illusionary freedom and systemic power. While some plot beats—particularly the time skip—could benefit from deeper emotional unpacking, the bond between Layla and Kerym remains compelling and nuanced.
The setup is dripping with emotional depth and quiet tension. Layla’s resilience and guarded hope are especially striking given the trauma of losing her parents and the harshness of her world. And Kerym? A perfect storm of forbidden longing and rebellion against expectation. There’s so much going on beneath the surface—it is not just star-crossed romance, its legacy, shame, power imbalance, and quiet defiance.
I liked the story; the character development was terrific, and the two main characters were very likable. I loved the fact that Kerym was so nervous to find Layla when he gets to the city where she moved, that he can hardly walk off the ship. His legs are unsteady below him at the thought of what he might find. Plus, the fact that he has not stopped loving her or thinking about her in all that time. I also really enjoyed how intelligent and what a hard worker Kerym was, he wants to make things better for elf/human relations and has great ideas on improving things in the mining camps. I also loved the fact that the little boy, Jasper has magic.
This audiobook was narrated from multiple perspectives, done in dual narration by Eva Caine and Todd McClaren. Eva Caine has a nice, soft voice that is very pleasant. Though I’m not sure I like her tempo, and she is a bit monotone, there are no real highs or lows. Todd McClaren has an ok voice; he is not one of my favorites but isn’t the worst either. Though he does sound older than these characters and his voice for female characters sounds like an 80-year-old. He also speaks at a kind of slow monotone tempo that bothers me. Since both narrators have such a slow tempo, I increased the speed and it sounded much better.
Narrators talk too slowly. I upped speed to 1.2x.
