A Monster’s Heart

I liked this book a lot. Great story line, it has plenty of adventure, excitement, fun, suspense, romance and hot scenes. The overall story is not done yet. A lot of criminal and inhuman stuff is going on at Utopia and I want to know what is going to happen.
The performances of both narrators are even better than the first book. Well done!!
I am hooked on this series!!

Alien adventure story!

The heroine: Penelope - she is a human female that has lived with the Kadrixan males for the past two years. She came to help them with the rut and decided to stay as it was a much better life than the one she led in the colony. She writes erotic romance novels and posts them online for anyone to read.

The Hero: Vostak - he was a grumpy male Kadrixan who is determined that he will never have a mate. He was so determined that he didn’t even set up a nest in the mountains which is where his fellow males take their mates. He was rejected in the past and is now convinced that he doesn’t deserve a mate. Though he watches the human female, Penelope.

The Story: Penelope and Vostak go on a mission and are forced to spend time together. Penelope had hoped to find a mate amongst the Kadrixan males, but hadn’t found one yet, though she often watched Vostak in the fighting rings where the warriors practiced each day. While on their mission, they find out more about the Utopia project which the colony ran. The colony is run by the wealthy, and they had various laws that the poor were forced to break, like if they were in debt or if they were evicted and dind’t have a place to live. The females that broke laws were given the choice to go to the Kadrixan settlement and help with the rut, or to join the Utopia project.

This was a good alien adventure romance. Forced proximity with a journey, which I love. I also loved that Vostak was a grouchy alien who had a low opinion of his own value and a strong female main character. This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. Both of these narrators are good; they have nice voices and are expressive. Definitely voice actors, not just readers, which is a must as far as I am concerned. Wen Ross has a nice, deep voice that I really liked. They did a great job on this book and narrate this entire series.

Monster’s Heart (book 2 of the KADRIXAN MATES Series by LYNNEA LEE)

This is the 2nd book of the Kadrixan Mates series by Lynnea Lee. It involves a grumpy demon warrior who doesn't want a mate because he had a very bad previous experience and has decided never again. Plus a human female who has been lusting after him for a while but knows he isn’t interested in a lifelong mate. Then they are sent on a harrowing secret spy mission to a mysterious outpost. Then things go from working together into a ton of pheromones and battling all sorts of life ending situations They wind up dealing with lot more than expected while getting back to safety.

A Mission, a Mate, and a Messy Past

This audiobook blends slow-burn romance with an undercover mission full of tension, making it a solid next step in the Kadrixan Mates series. The narration by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott is smooth and engaging throughout, and I enjoyed their performance of both leads.

Penelope is smart, and not one to compromise—her ability to stay grounded during a fake mating mission on an alien planet was impressive. Vostak takes longer to come around, but his inner struggle is understandable, and his eventual growth made their bond more rewarding.

The pacing felt well-balanced, with a good mix of slower emotional development and bursts of action. The book also added some interesting new details to the world, including Kadrixan culture, tech used by the human colony, and a few surprises from the local fauna.

It’s a well-written mix of action, emotional healing, and steamy moments—worth the listen if you’re enjoying the series so far.

love a happy ending

Story very entertaining! Love a happy ending, sometimes a little slow, but only because you know what you want to happen and it twists and turns to get there.
