Publisher's summary

The highly anticipated sequel to Close Liaisons

In Lenkarda - the main Krinar colony on Earth - Mia is completely at Korum's mercy. With no way to leave and no idea how to operate even the most basic Krinar technology, she has no choice but to trust the K who brought her there - the lover whom she had betrayed.

Will he keep his promise to bring her home, or is she destined to be his prisoner forever? Can a human become a part of Krinar society? Does Korum love her, or does he only wish to possess her?

Critic reviews

"If you're looking for some sexy summer reads, you'll want to check out the new book series, Krinar Chronicles. Author Anna Zaires brings you a kind of 50 Shades of Grey meets Star Trek tale . . ." ( Marie Claire)
"For diehard fans of the paranormal romance genre, author Anna Zaires's risqué new book could be your next guilty pleasure. Zaires's most recent read, Close Liaisons, combines a love story with science fiction in the tale of Mia, an unassuming college student whose life gets suddenly entangled in a dangerous, otherworldly affair." ( Woman's Day)

WELL I AM TRULY OBSESSED WITH THIS AWESOME SERIES

It's all been said before by my fellow Reviewers, so all I can add is the author's well described, very imaginative, mesmerising world has captured my heart, my imagination, my thoughts and my life and I don't think I'll get them back until the very end of book 3... which I'm eagerly about to listen to now.

Worth a credit? Well that's a daa HELL YEAH!! The only question left now is how will Korum and Mia finally get their HEA ending.

Narration killed it!

I am so glad I have this in book format...b/c the narration totally killed it. I thought book 1 narration was bad... NO WAY...this was just horrible in the narration department. The last book you can at least tell the diff between female and male voices a bit...This one... NOT AT ALL..

Kitty Hendrix really did should like Clarrissa Knightly... but it just can't be because Knightly is great and Hendrix bombed it... If Hendrix is another name for Knightly then I am really upset in her new narration... b/c this was just horrible...

The Krinar Chronicles are great books... if narrated properly, these books would be an instant downland... I am not a Alien romance fan, but I do like the Krinar Chronicles...and that is saying a lot...

Not a recommendation..just get the book and read yourself.. Narration will piss you off!

Great story .... narration almost ruined it!

This is a very talented author and the 2nd in the series. I would highly recommend reading or listening to book 1 before heading into this one. That being said I have to question WHY??? WHY??? change the narrator for this book when Kathleen Goodwin did such an excellent job with the first book. That being said .... Kitty Hendrix did a good job, its just that I preferred the performance of Ms. Goodwin and in fairness Ms. Goodwin's performance was fresh in my ears as I listened to book 2 immediately after finishing book 1. I generally do not care for stories that are continued on in book after book. This series is the exception. So credit worthy!!! Mia and K's romance is just part of the overall brilliant story that the authors painted!

The series keeps getting better

What does Kitty Hendrix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I found her narration to be a good listen

Any additional comments?

I'm starting to enjoy the series more and more as we learn about Mia, Korum their growing relationship and different facts about the Krinar, a series unlike anything else i've read before

Love this series!

Finished book 2 today and it was soooo good. Mia and Korum's relationship developed so well in this book. There were a few surprises along the way that shocked me, but it was a phenomenal story. Their love story is epic and, quite literally, out of this world. Mia and Korum's displays to show their feelings for one another toward the end of the book is amazing. Off to read book 3.

TERRIBLE NARRATOR!!

What did you love best about Close Obsession?

THE ROMANCE, THE TECHNOLOGY THE STORYLINE WAS VERY GOOD!!

Would you be willing to try another one of Kitty Hendrix’s performances?

NO!! KITTY HENDRIX WAS THE WORST NARRATOR I HAVE YET HEARD FROM AUDIBLE!! SHE USES THE SAME VOICE FOR ALL THE CHARACTERS. SHE IS JUST READING. VERY FLAT!!

Any additional comments?

I really like the story. A must read for paranormal romance and science fiction lovers.

Loved the story

loved the story. didn't love the speaker. She didn't even try to distinguish between the male or female characters. But the story is so good, it's definitely still worth listening to.

What a ride....

What did you love best about Close Obsession?

The growing love and suspense on the relationship between Korum and Mia.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mia is my favorite character because you can see her changing from a timid girl into a strong willed woman. Even when she is afraid of Kormur, she still test him.

Which character – as performed by Kitty Hendrix – was your favorite?

Korum, there is just something in the way that Kitty reads his parts that really "touches" you. I enjoyed the listening to Kitty throughout the entire book, and hope to hear more books narrated by her again.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, I cried, I felt happy and heart broken. There were times in which I was sitting here listening and was holding my breath. Complete emotional rollercoaster!

One of my favorite books by Anna zaires

Would you consider the audio edition of Close Obsession to be better than the print version?

I like either choice , but sometimes it was more convenient to just wear my headphones and listen .

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the entire plot!!

What does Kitty Hendrix bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like how her voice would change with the emotions in the story.
