I'm surprised I enjoyed this book. I'm not a big fan of romance between multiple partners and this book was one woman who was "married" to four men. It took me half the book to get used to the idea and then by the ending i LOVED their relationship(s). It wasn't just physical. All the guys have...
This book was weird. Even though there were multiple partners, it can barely be considered erotica (the love scenes were boring and common place.) The romance was really not romantic at all - how could it be when the men just latch onto Bronte (the heroine) just because she's the first woman they...
Bri's uncertain of whether she finds it more unnerving or thrilling that Kole, a warrior well over six feet in height and built like the hulk, watches her with hungry, covetous eyes, until the slavers who captured her toss her into his habitat with him for breeding. Then she knows it's both, but ...
Scientifically speaking, it made sense to send two hundred women and 'frozen pops' to establish the colony on New Georgia and insure a good gene pool. But when the colonists arrive after fifteen years of space travel, and discover that the alien compound directly across from their new city is fil...
"The announcement of our marriage."Jana's hand crept to her throat. She felt as if she were choking, as if her heart had leapt into her throat, and refused to be dislodged. She felt distinctly ill, realizing that she should never have allowed her deception to go on so long. She had not even consi...
She dismissed it again. Like a boomerang, the suspicion returned more forcefully when she met Ronan's gaze across the counter as she got up to clear away the clutter from their meal. Trying to behave nonchalantly with that thought riding her was next to impossible, but she made the attempt purely...
In a sense, it was solid. Plants carpeted the earth, more plants than she’d ever seen together in one place. There was so much green it made her dizzy. There were trees, as well, she discovered as they descended from the sky, unlike anything she’d ever seen, not scraggly stunted things barely tal...
A look of annoyance took its place as he glanced up at Violet. “Trying to work your way through the harem?” she added, gesturing to the room at large.“I see I underestimated you … partner. Clever. Any rebuttal on my part will only make me look worse.” Violet shrugged. “She was never in any danger...
“Up. Is time.” Tilly was too weak, she discovered, to get on her feet without the aid of a nano-suit. He grabbed her arm and hauled her up. She struggled to put one foot in front of the other as he half led half carried her back to the room where the others waited, but ...
It was always like that. There was always the doubt as she struggled to reach that special place that, this time, she might not reach it and she would be left with a hollow sense of defeat and disappointment. She would be left aching and miserable instead of gaining the sense of fulfillment and p...
The walk was rougher, though. As focused as Lana was on getting to the cabin as quickly as they could, it was still impossible not to notice that the forest was a beautiful place. It looked like an ancient forest and was virtually untouched—most likely because most of it belonged to Rex Pimetrius...
“Shit!” she exclaimed the moment she saw her reflection. How the hell had she managed to get black grease on herself? Her hands told the story! The damned screwdriver must have had grease all over it! Releasing an irritated huff, she scrubbed her hands and then cleaned the smears off of her nose ...
It disturbed him that she was afraid, but not enough to make him regret drawing her to him. They were always afraid. He had come to accept that they always would be … of him because he was not as they were and they feared and hated anything that was different from them. They wanted the things tha...
“What for? It’s not going to do us any good up here.”“Nothing is going to do us any good,” Raathe said shortly. “If what I’m doing works, though, I’ll be taking those fuckers with me.”“How? You plant a bomb in their main system?”Raathe didn’t look at him that time. “My, aren’t we curious?” he sai...
She had always hated physical examinations. She just wasn’t certain why. The prick of something sharp jolted Dalia into sudden, crystal clear alertness and the absolute certainty of danger. Opening her eyes, she surveyed her surroundings, searching for the threat she sense...
I thought he/it was dead at first. I also thought it was fake, not the man part, but the wing thing. From what I could see, he looked like a man. These people were crazier than I’d thought and I’d already given them credit for being some of the craziest fuckers not caged. Something blue had been ...
At last her hands fell idle and she gave up all pretense of learning the strings, mesmerized by the movement of his thumb as he rubbed it back and forth across the back of her right hand. He captured her hand in his finally and lifted it for his inspection. Almost against her will, her gaze fol...
“The object! The satellite we collided with! Follow it! I need it!” he commanded the onboard computer. Instead of responding immediately to his command, the computer continued its damage report. It was unfortunate that Aidan wasn’t technical minded enough, or familiar enough with interstellar cra...
Almost like a sleepwalker, she rose when he stood and urged her to her feet, following him as he led her from the room. He paused outside and turned to her, studying her face intently. Youre afraid? he asked harshly. Terrified, Sybil responded before she thought better of it. Som...
A large part of it—most of it—was due to his state of high arousal and the psychotic break his system had had with his mind when he broke off his pursuit of completion rather than finishing what he had started. His system was still screaming for release and threatening to explode. His brain was w...
All characters, events, and places are of the author’s imagination and not to be confused with fact. Any resemblance to living persons or events is merely coincidence. Chapter OneThe first rock caught Kiran completely off guard, missing his head by mere inches. Stunned, he looked up just in t...
The first time she tried, his hand merely tightened on her arm. The second time, he lifted his head and very causally threw one leg across her lower body, grinding his pelvis into her hip and proving beyond a shadow of doubt that, regardless of what he’d claimed to the contrary, there were parts ...
The thought that he might mean the former made her heart do a little tap dance against her chest wall. Unfortunately, she wasn’t certain that his expression supported that theory. She managed a smile. “There is that,” she responded. He rose, extending his hand. “It is not much to see, now, but I ...
Anna asked as Caleb and Joshua escorted her briskly down a short hallway and through a fairly large room that seemed to be bursting at the seams with men, desks, and equipment. “This is a sub-station. The Watch Center was too badly damaged in the blast to use until we can get someone in to repair...
“Right around …there.” He settled beside her, propping his chin in one hand. “There?” “Mmmhmm. That’s the spot alright.” Chapter Thirteen Jorell sent Audric a questioning glance as Simon stopped on the promontory and stared out to sea. Audric frowned and shook his head slightly. It had been weeks...
She couldn’t ascribe her restless night to physical discomfort with her surroundings. The temperature of the quarters where Damien had imprisoned her was constant and so finely attuned to her comfort that she couldn’t help but wonder if these beings had discovered a way to regulate such things--a...
