He’s violent, volatile, and loves a good fight. She’s small and sweet—and everything he craves. But can he make her his without hurting her?
Thargen wanders the sprawling Undercity streets with one goal—a drink. Well, maybe a few drinks and a good old-fashioned bar fight to let off some steam. But the moment he sees Yuri working behind the bar, he’s overwhelmed by a new desire—her.
Yuri is his opposite in so many ways—delicate, soft, beautiful—and he knows the primal, uncontrollable rage in his heart makes it too dangerous for him to have her. But he wants her. He needs her.
And when an unexpected series of events sees them stranded on a hostile, unknown planet together, it becomes almost impossible for him to resist her. Lost on a mountainside teeming with ravenous skeks, Thargen must rely upon his survival skills and the ferocity burning at his core to protect Yuri until they can get back home.
But who will protect her from him?

In this book, we follow Thargen as he is captured by slavers who end up crashing on a planet inhabited by aliens that like eating people. This book is thus largely a survival scenario romance, with Thargen falling in love with a human woman who was enslaved with him. The tone of this book is thus very different than the other infinite city books, which tend to take place in the infinite city. This also means the found family aspect that makes the series so charming is largely absent from this book. I'm totally down for this overall plot, and it's really smaller plot elements and things that annoy me that take this book down a notch for me.
The main thing that annoyed me is the trope where both people really like each other, but one has some sort of issue that's all in their head and the issue is resolved when they simply choose not to care about that any more. I prefer more external barriers to the relationship. If that isn't a trope that bothers you, you will probably enjoy this book more than me.
My second issue that annoyed me is tied to the first. Part of what is holding Thargen back is an incident in the past where he accidentally hurts someone during a sexual encounter. This is a very serious issue, and he feels very guilty about it, as he should. I don't know what he should have done to make up for it, but I felt the argument the FMC gave him really was insufficient. 'Oh, you SA'd someone by accident? that's very regrettable, but don't worry, that won't happen between us because we like each other.' I understand why this background was necessary to support his mental hurdle to having a relationship, but it felt like it was too big of a strike against him to be kind of brushed aside and made me not like Thargen as much as I wanted to.
My next issue is entirely audio based. This book introduces Kier and Kayle, some of my favorite characters in the series, and I was really looking forward to meeting them. The voices for them do not disappoint - the issue appears not when the characters are speaking but rather during narration. The narrator has an accent that doesn't have hard Rs, so whenever he says Kier's name while not as a character, the name sounds like "Kia" and drove me bonkers. I read the ebooks, so I know his name is Kier, but if you only listened to the audio, you would be confused about his name.
All this to say, this book is fine, it just has a plot trope that always annoys me, and I feel Thargen's past was handled a bit to heavy handed, I wish that was done a bit differently, but it wasn't enough to make me rage quit or anything. The next book in the series is Kier and Kayle's book, so I'm very much looking forward to listening to that next.

The story was great. It was moving and had lots of action but left room for the romance. I absolutely can't wait for the nest bo l book to come out on audible!!
