Publisher's summary

Half Castian and half Tonan, Doss is considered nothing more than a Tonian hybrid. A being to be feared, with the power to kill by penetrating what is supposed to be impenetrable.

Loathed by many, feared by more, Doss has spent the last 700 years alone, shunned by the Tonans on his planet. He prefers it that way until a nude female rider on a huge, black stallion, fleeing for her life, catches his eye. If left alone, both beast and human would be killed by their pursuant, an enraged Tonan warrior. When the scent of the female invades his nostrils, Doss is captivated. He must have the female human and will go to great lengths to secure her safety.

Zoe hates both Castians and Tonans. The promise of salvation from dying Earth, on planet Ulsy, had been nothing more than a lie. Human males were slaughtered, and human women were captured to lure secrets of the Castian planets, Bagron and co-planet Dargon, from enslaved warriors with the promise of sex. When met with the six-foot-six hybrid warrior who moved like an apparition in battle to save her and her beloved stallion Caveat, Zoe is unsure what to do. She has no idea of his intentions, but from the shiver that runs down her spine she is certain she's about to find out.

Great Read and Narration

Truly an enjoyable listen, the characters and story line are really great , well worth a credit ,

Favorite book in the series❣️

I like Doss, half Castian and Half Tonan he is 6.6, and glows white instead of black or gray and he has a diamond claw and super powers. Plus no tail which means he isn’t a liar.
After spending 700 years by himself he rescues her and her horse companions who have been duped by the Tonians. They are raping and torturing earth females with the out of control Castians . Zoe hates them all. In an effort to find a descent planet human women and children are now at the mercy of aliens who lied to the earth males. After some time Doss must determine if he too can trust Tonians and Castians and live with a mate for the companionship he misses so much.

Much better

Much better than the last book although the h had her TSTL moment towards the end. I enjoyed some of the changes that start occurring towards the end as well.

So Glad this Series did a Hybrid Story

Series is just OK - great way to kill time but nothing that really makes me want this book to be any longer. I love that they went the hybrid route with the story and especially the horses from earth. It just gets so mired down in the mental side sometimes that I want to shake something and remind them this is sci fi. Have to say every time though that I struggle to get through with this narrator. Some voices are great but others are so cringe worthy it's hard to continue.

Recommend passing due to poor narration.

I have listened to several of this author's books and except for the voice of Cobra I enjoyed the stories. However, in this publication ALL of the voices are so repulsive, including Cobra's, that I really can't tell if the tale is any good. It seemed very disjointed but I only made it to Chapter 8 hoping I could either adjust or the impersonations would improve but no luck. Since there is nothing sexy or attractive about any of the character's voices, this one is a DNF for me.

the storylines are good, but the narration kills

I really like the setting and characters of this serie. unfortunately the reader really kills the success of this serie. I really try to look pass his over exaggerated pauses and inappropriate punctuation, but he really take the romantic out of the romance genre. Deeply disappointed.
