Publisher's summary

The Dragon has awakened, and he will claim his bride.

As the Vanguard’s top analyst, Tabitha discovers a secret message which could allow them to deal a severe blow to the Kryptids. The last thing she expects during that mission is to run into the ‘enemy’ who haunts her dreams. After getting her heart crushed years ago, Tabitha has sworn off genetically engineered warriors. Yet, she cannot resist her attraction to the dark and mysterious hybrid named Bane. As they prepare for a bloody war against the Kryptids, she realizes there can only be a future for them if she can bring Bane and his people to the Vanguard’s side.

His hearts have ached for Tabitha from the moment he set eyes on her. And yet, time after time, he has let his fierce and fearless Queen walk away. It had been both for her safety and out of duty to those under his protection. However, the tide has finally turned. He and his people may be the monstrous creations of the Kryptid General but, for the first time, freedom is within their grasp. Now that he has a chance at a future with his Queen, and at safety for his people, nothing and no one will stand in his way.

Optimism

I’ve enjoyed this series quite a bit. But I think this book might be my favorite. It’s a tale of enemies becoming allies. And leaves the listener with a huge sense of optimism. The ending could be the ending of the series but it does leave an opening for more.

love this story

The evolution of the characters and the fact that they find a home is amazing amazing. The performance is goormonds is good, and the characters are likeable. If you liked sigh if I romance I would highly recommend this book

well...

it was ok. I didn't like it as much as the other books. I was a little bored and couldn't finish. I will give this a listen again. maybe I was tired first time around.

Bane

I loved Bane’s story because I had a curiosity about him after he was mentioned in another book. I am glad that Tabitha found her true love.

I found it hard to binge listen to this story at night because the narrator’s voice creeped me out.

excellent

great action and terrific dialogue, and shows anything can be achieved with hope and not giving into tyranny......

My favorite so far

4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Bane" by Regine Abel is another engaging addition to the series, and the chemistry between Tabitha and Bane is a highlight of this story. Their relationship is a joy to follow, and the fact that they uncover the mystery behind the scarcity of pregnancies adds depth to the plot. Abel's ability to weave together romance and intrigue keeps readers entertained, leaving them eagerly anticipating the next books in the series. If you're a fan of this series, "Bane" will not disappoint, and it's a great continuation of the captivating narrative.

Needs better narration

I couldn’t finish this after listening for over 3 hours. The narrator failed to change his voice between male and female characters; everything ran together and I lost interest. The storyline was ok, the narration messed up the story; Christian is ok as male narrator and needs a second narrator for female and any other characters.
