Publisher's summary

A forgotten past, a tormented present, and a future in jeopardy.

She’s been abducted from Earth, experimented on in the Grutex labs, and thrown into the path of not just one massive alien mate, but two. As a Filipina nurse living in America, she isn’t a stranger to adapting to unusual situations, but nothing could have prepared her for what’s to come.

He’s hidden behind a mask of humor his entire life, but the fierce little female who holds Brin at gunpoint the very first time they meet, and the haunted Grutex scientist, can see right through it and into the depths of his soul where he keeps his darkest secrets. He never wanted to find them, but now that he has, Brin will do everything he can to protect them.

He was supposed to oversee their care, but he wasn’t ever meant to feel anything for the human test subjects. Unlike the rest of his kind, Nuzal finds himself feeling sympathy and guilt over what’s being done within the labs on the Grutex ship, but he never in his wildest dreams expected to feel love.

Will her mates ever be free of their pasts, and will they be able to escape in time to save humanity from the monsters of the universe?

This is an MMF romance with dark tones that may contain triggers.

Great story

The first was fabulous and so is this one. Humor, horror, triumph and love fill these rather in depth books. Excellent narration

2nd Deep

Although there is very little water in this story (the same as in the 1st story), the angst & suspense & storyline was enthralling. I, at first thought that I wasn’t going to like the second story, mainly bc I couldn’t see the FMC as a love interest. Which is why I waited to listen to this story. But after 20 minutes I was engrossed into the story. I carried my phone everywhere even on my walk bc the story was so entertaining. Narrators we’re wonderful. And the story entangled characters from the first story which I enjoyed. I highly recommend both this story & the first one. It definitely isn’t boring.

Suspenseful

The story took up and semi merged with first book. I enjoyed how overlapping unfolded. Very excellent read.

Eeeeiiiieeee!!!

I found this series by looking for books read by J.F. Harding. I read or listen to a book a day, and he’s easily in my top 5 narrators.

I feel like I stumbled upon a gold mine with these two (so far) books. Adventure, romance, mystery, sci-fi … I gobbled them up.

Can’t wait for book 3! Highly recommend!!!

Loved it

This was a great storyline; it was different and refreshing; nothing was easy and the struggle gave it depth. Narrator did a fabulous job with characters. Looking forward to listening to the next book in series if the author chooses to write one

Surprising, in the best way!

I am not normally a fan of male narrators, however, J.F. Harding is amazing! His voice acting is the perfect touch to a really awesome series.

LOVE JF HARDING, but struggled with this book

While I LOVE JF Harding (especially Kage Trilogy) and the production was good, I struggled to push thru to the end of this book. I enjoyed the first book in the series and liked June as a side character, but found her very aggravating and b*#@&y here. The male protagonists I loved. Just wish the female was less pigheaded. Overall the story was decent and I like the world building of the ship. Definitely recommend not skipping the first book though to understand better what is going on and the planet they travel to.
