Publisher's summary

When a renegade thief and a genetically enhanced mercenary collide, space gets a whole lot hotter!

Thief Kara Shimsi has learned three lessons well - keep her head down, her fingers light, and her tithes to the syndicate paid on time.

But now a failed heist has earned her a death sentence - a one-way ticket to the toxic waste outside the dome. Her only chance is a deal with the syndicate's most ruthless enforcer, a wolfish mountain of genetically-modified muscle named Davien.

The thought makes her body tingle with dread - or is it heat?

Mercenary Davien will do whatever it takes to get back into space. The last thing he wants is a smart-mouthed thief - even if her scent drives him wild - and she may have the clue he needs to hunt down whoever destroyed his home.

Caring is a liability. Desire is a commodity. And love could get you killed.

Given is the first science fiction romance novel in The Star Breed series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!

Pretty good story

This was a new author for me, and I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The heroine is a small time thief who is endentured to a crime Lord in the dome city she lives in on a rocky planetoids. The hero is a manufactured lab grown man who is there searching for information. They meet in the crime lords domain, and he offers to take her as his sex slave to punish her for losing something valuable. They really begin working together to regain that valuable asset and in doing somfall for each other. Then the race is on to meet the crime lordsdeadline and escape off the planet. Narration was well done.

Great Sci-Fi Romance!

Well written story with interesting characters and an actual plot. Very refreshing- not an abduction romance which I am still hoping to see done well - more of a two against the world scenario with some grit and heart. Romantic but not home over the top, sexy without letting the steam take over the story, and a very satisfying ending. Well done. This was my second time reading this several years apart and it was just as good the second time around. Oh and great world-building too!

Great Love Story

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This is the story of two people who would never meet if not for circumstances. I like that the hero is the one who is confused about the relationship. This is a love story that I would recommend especially on a rainy day when you want something different to listen to.

decent story but...

the story isnt too bad but the female narrator is terrible!! I just cringed each word that she spoke & if I didn't want to hear the end of the story - I would have stopped it just because of the female narrator!
