De: Lynnea Lee

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

TRJUN
When I charged the enemy to rescue a ravishing female who caught my eye, I didn’t expect the mate bond to drop me to my knees. Captured, I’m locked behind electrified bars in a genetic lab where a researcher throws the female into my cell and demands we reproduce.

I vow to do everything in my power to make my little mate happy, but I won’t claim her until I extricate us from this cruel prison. Once we’re free, she can have anything she wants from me so long as she doesn’t want me to let her go.

BRIANNA
Once, I was a golden child. The perfect accessory for my parents’ social climbing. Then their prospects soured, and they sent me to Utopia. Betrayed by everyone, I gave up on life and love. Then I was thrown in a prison cell with a red-hot alien demon, the first being to ever truly protect me. I don’t understand his growls and snarls, but inside the curve of Trjun’s wings, I do know I am safe.

Teamwork and a bit of luck help us escape the secret lab, and with the sun on my face, I swear I’ll never live for anyone but myself again. But one look at Trjun and I want to throw caution to the wind. Do I dare stay safe in his arms forever?

A Monster’s Love is a sci-fi alien romance with a growly hero, lots of action, and an HEA, guaranteed. This series has dystopian themes.

A Monster’s Love

Trjun went MIA at the end of the previous book, and is found in a cell at the beginning of this book. Then the evil Doctor throws in Brianna. Their story is everything: hilarious from time to time (some translation issues!!), exciting, action, adventure and oh so hot!! I thought it was amazing that our Hero thought “when we get out”, not “if”!! This Hero and heroine are very likable!! I liked the humor, the action, very well written and great storyline.
I really really need to know what will happen with the human settlement, Utopia and I’d like to know more about Mark, Chris and Igor!! I look forward to the rest for the series! Both narrators did a wonderful job.
I absolutely recommend this series, and all series from this author👍🏻👍🏻

Great plot and lots of action!

The Hero: Trjun - he wakes up in a cell with two others. He was training in a mountain valley with other Kadrixan warriors, and there were human females there. He had no idea how he got from there to an electrified cell, with a Vokeiran male and a female in the males' arms. A female came to give them food and was speaking to them in Spanish, so the guards wouldn’t understand. He remembers running in the desert after a bunch of humans. He saw a female with dark hair and dark eyes; he knew right away that she was his mate. When he ran into the group, he grabbed his mate and fell to his knees and was taken captive.

The heroine: Brianna - she is one of the human women in the facility where research was taken place. She was angry and had stopped caring. Her body wasn’t hers anymore, since she went from being a worker to a test subject. Her body was owned by Novovida Military and Exotech Pharmaceuticals. She was sent to Utopia by her family and became a nurse when she first arrived.

The Story: At one point Bri was turned into test subject 0426 of the Utopian outpost. She hated what they were doing; breeding experiments with the local alien races, trying to make super-soldiers because humans die too easily. Brianna knew the only way out was to take out their tracker and make a run for it and try to avoid the robo-hounds and nano-murder bots. Though that was as dicey as it sounds.

Bri was taken to a gladiator-like arena where the demon-like male who had tried to kidnap her out in the desert was now fighting a huge dangerous beast. The male refused to kill the beast, and Doctor Kingsley ordered the guard to kill the beast. The Alien killed the guard and stole his weapon but was put out with knock out gas. The Doctor and all the researchers see guards, nurses, and test subjects as disposable. They were putting Brianna in with the alien man who looked like demons of old. They want the females to make a baby or die trying.

Like the first few books, this one had a great plot. This book went further into what was going on with the humans and how their society is set up. It really dives deep into the brutal realities of human experimentation, power struggles, and survival, making the stakes feel even higher. Brianna’s arc is especially compelling—her transition from nurse to unwilling test subject adds layers of anger and defiance that contrast well with Trjun’s honor and instinctual protectiveness.

The way society is structured in this world—the rich exploiting the poor through terrifying experiments—is a chilling yet intriguing theme that has been gradually unfolding in the series. It’s satisfying to finally get more insight into the Utopia project, considering how much mystery surrounded it in earlier books.

The audiobook is told in two points of view in dual narration. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott narrated. 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. And dual narration. That always brings so much depth to the storytelling. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott have such strong presence, adding emotion and immersion, making the characters feel even more real.
