2.5 starsWhat this book has going for it is imagination (nice world-building) and good writing. It is clear and to the point.While this book did deliver the promise of an alien adventure, and lovers overcoming alien boundaries, unfortunately it didn't elevate the story above that.The characters ...
I normally try and avoid books where main characters have kids by another partner I just find it off putting but for some reason I read this and I loved it so much that I can honestly say that this is my favourite book by this author! I just loved Berr you could really feel his love and devotion ...
Aku penasaran sama cerita Zorus di sini sehabis terlebih dahulu membaca Touching Ice dan Taunting Krell dimana Zorus yang terkenal anti manusia bagaimana ia sebelum dan sesudah menemukan heroine-nya di buku ini. Kontras banget. Makanya sewaktu dapat buku ini langsung semangat bacanya, hahaha. Ter...
Uhmmm...wow. This is my favorite cyborg book so far. Laurann has topped herself again. I really loved Coal, he thinks he is damaged but this makes him even more endearing. He seems more in touch with his emotions and is not always trying to dismiss his feelings for Jill.I do wonder why he shaves...
You have called for me to enter you. My penis has broken my pirate pants in response.Oh, yes, you married alien. I want you in me now. Even if only this once.I will spill and you will carry alien baby. My wife could already be carrying my baby.Fuck me now, you married beast.Jets...crushing...afte...
I listened to this book on audibles. These are erotic novels, so the sex is explicit. Do not purchase if this bothers you. Touching Ice is the fourth book in the series and my favorite so far. I loved this couple. Meagan was so sweet and loving. Ice is unique, he is claustrophobic, he has unu...
Not my favorite in series but still a good read I didn't fall in love with Cyan and I Krell like I did with previous characters in this series but I did enjoy them. The plot was fast paced but I never connected to them romantically. They rarely seemed to bond or communicate other than sexually. T...
I picked this book accidentally, as I was in need for my fix of Ms. Dohner works. Though the book is the 8th installment in the series, it could be read as stand alone. Glad I read it first before the previous installment (the first few books left me spat hateful words). I love the hero and the h...
This is another great one by Laurann Dohner! Sure the story is a little bit of a stretch, and sure it is not quite on the same level as some of her other works like the New Species series, but it is still a good solid story. What carries the story is definitely the chemistry between the two chara...
So, I've been reading these out of order, which is pretty unusual for me. I started with the first and liked it, but couldn't bring myself to read the second because of the cover. (I admit it, I do judge books - not people, but books - by their cover.) All the covers in this series are awful, but...
I could swallow the 'hero' saving the heroine from a pack of rapist werewolves, but the premise of this whole story rubbed me the wrong way. If werewolf males go into mating heat and chase down and rape women, why the fuck aren't they on leashes? We're talking sentient creatures here who appare...
Laurann Dohner continues her phenomenal Mating Heat series with the story of Brand. With stupendous characters and detailed writing Laurann Dohner entertains the reader beyond expectations.I loved the interactions between Brand and Charma, from the heartaches to the triumphs. It is amazing how e...
4 SEXY CYBORG STARS!!I really love how Laurann Dohner's series are mostly standalones. I can just pick up any and not need to read the rest of the series since they're not dependent on each other. I however, have read the first book in the series and I was disappointed in some parts of the book. ...
I don't know what to say about this one. It was ok and nothing more, just ok.The story wasn't interesting enough, nor were the characters. I actually read it in three sittings if not more, even thought it's only 80 pages.That's entirely too long for such a short story.I finished it only because I...
The previous book being so much more to my taste made me rate this one lower.CONTINUITY. ERRORS.DANGLING PLOT THREADS.on the plus side, I feel like the characters were developed pretty well... ish...Misogyny is back again OR STILL HERE yayRetrospective on the entire series: The book had what mad...
Love this series. The Raine brothers are so hot. This is the story about River Raine, a rodeo cowboy that is wild and tough. I think I almost like this story better than the first one. The heroine, Brit, is feisty, but unavailable. The Hero is fun, domineering, and a huge playboy. He never...
Nothing really to write home about in this book. It was quite short and not a great deal of character development. I enjoy her writing and wanted to read this one. The sex scene was smokin but I didn't fall in love with this book. Insta-luv takes some convincing for me. Plus, we didn't even know ...
Lynn hesitated and sniffed back at him. Maybe it’s a cultural thing with these aliens. She inhaled the scent of something musky and pleasant. He responded by making another soft growl. He stepped close again. The look in his eyes made her feel a little weak in the knees. S...
She slowly turned away from the kitchen and found him standing inside the doorway watching her. “I was exploring. I love your home.” “Ours,” he corrected. “Yours and mine.” He took a hesitant step forward. “I keep expecting to wake up and realize this is just a dream.” His hand lifted. “Come here...
Shadow glared at Brass. The male watched him silently for long seconds. “Fine. The Gift Female showed an interest in you and you’re the only male she’s had contact with but I’m sure she’ll do fine with a stranger. Is that the stance you’re taking? Think about it long and hard.” “Haven’t I been us...
“They just X-rayed Tiger’s leg and it’s as we thought. He damaged the leg.” He stared at Zandy. “Tiger refused to rest until he knows you are fine. He snarled at me to bring you to him.” Dr. Allison shot Zandy a warning look. “That sounds like a man who doesn’t want to break it off. You’re free t...
“I’ll take that for a no.” “It’s bad for hair.” She wasn’t about to argue with him. There was no way she could tactfully point out that she didn’t believe that was factual. At least not without him mentioning that he wasn’t fully human or her using the argument that she’d had a dog as a child and...
She wouldn’t put it past Obsidian to start a fight with either of them. She gripped him firmly, ready to tackle him if he tried to stand. He had no idea how important both of them were to his future life at the NSO. “Please,” she whispered, leaning into him. “Let me handle this and just be quiet....
He tensed, prepared to attack, but it wasn’t the enemy crouched over him and Bat, ready to take her away from him. His father and brother were there. His first concern was for her. “Bat? Is she breathing? I don’t hear her.” “...
She finally settled on the couch, curled into a ball and used the arm of it for a pillow. She was due to contact her dad soon and she’d have to think up a new lie. He thought she was traveling through Europe and would be shocked if he knew she’d never left California. They kept in touch via her c...
Mourn didn’t look sorry when he smiled. “That’s the best sleep I’ve had in a long time.” Dana had to agree. “Me too.” “I usually wake from nightmares. I even worried I might turn in my sleep and dump you on the floor.” She grinned, fighting to get her pants on. The still-wet material clung to her...
a male voice called out, as if she were a cat. He started yanking open cupboards on the other side of the kitchen. Ellie’s entire body trembled and her hand clutched the knife hard enough for the wood handle to dig into her palm. She closed her eyes and listened as he slammed things. Suddenly som...
Insane. Nuts. This will never work. I need my head examined. Those were the thoughts that ran through Charlie’s head while she listened to Doctors Barklin and Aims argue. “The only way we’re going to figure this out is by autopsy.” “What if that doesn’t work? We don’t have a large supply of them ...
“Well?” The cyborg checked the sensors and nodded. “Pressure seems to be holding. We’ll know for certain after the engines start.” “I wonder what else can go wrong?” Hellion closed one of the electronic ports and sighed. “This has to be the worst mi...
She rolled over and stared at the clock on the nightstand, startled to see it was six o’clock. She’d slept for a few hours but it felt longer. The room was dark but faint light still shone in at the top of the curtains. She sat up and heard paper crinkle. She located the note on the pillow next t...
He was no longer capable of controlling the pain his captors inflicted. Agony streamed from almost every nerve ending in his body. He remembered all the horrific things the guards had done to him over the past days and couldn’t even wish for death. They wouldn’t allow him to die until they deemed...
He gently repositioned Dusti to lower her to her feet. She didn’t miss the sweat that sheeted his skin—every inch of it, as she could see, since he stood before her naked, but she raised her attention above his waist after a quick peek at his lower half. “Thank you for com...
Flint was gone but she was still in his room. That had to be a good sign. She used the cleaning unit and put on one of Flint’s shirts. The entire time she ate she wondered if Flint was talking to Iron. What if Iron wouldn’t sell her back? Fear hit her. It still hurt slightly that Flint had sold h...
His long legs moved fast as he crossed the room and stopped at the elevator. She had to scramble to catch up with him as the doors opened after he punched in a code on a keypad. “Aren’t we waiting for Brass and Wrath?” “They are either already upstairs or will be along shortly. This isn’t the onl...
She bolted upright, Missy’s alarmed tone waking her instantly. She grabbed for the nightstand drawer, fumbled for the knob and yanked it open. She felt for her gun and grabbed it. “Black SUVs just blocked off both ends of the street.” Missy lowered her voice. “I was people...
He was surprisingly tender. It was more of a tease than a kiss as he pulled back. She peeked at him to find him hovering above her. The dark intensity of his look made her feel hot all over. “Take off your clothes. All of them.” Moon lifted up and carefully got to his feet. “Now.” It took her a s...
The small vid player had been set up feet away, hooked to the wall beside the bed. He’d kept his word and downloaded some programs for her. She’d chosen a comedy romance since he’d wanted to experience one with her. He chuckled too. “Earthers are silly. It amazes me that t...
She tried to turn on her side but something held her firm. Her eyes opened to soft lights around her and a face hovered just over hers. “Easy,” Chase rasped. “You’re safe.” Memory returned. She was delusional, fantasizing that her sexy client had come to her rescue. His eyes were an incredible mo...
I have read most of your new species series. Oh my freaking god.... I love them. I haven't been able to locate the first four or the last but what I have read I love all of them. I thank you and my imagination thanks you
