Story
On the run from ruthless killers, I take a job at a remote mountain estate tutoring a little boy. It's the ideal shelter from the storm that has engulfed my life, but there is a catch. The boy's father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I've ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is as magnetic as he is enigmatic. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises—everything about my new employer draws me in, even as my instincts warn that my safe haven just might be the devil's lair. My protector may turn out to be my captor.

Story
One of the wealthiest Russian oligarchs, Alex Volkov is as ruthless as he is magnetic. He always gets what he wants, and what he wants is me, in his bed. He’s the kind of trouble every woman should run from. The bullet his bodyguard took for him proves that. I should stay far away, but for one night, I give in to temptation. Before I know it, he’s pulling me deeper into his world of excess and violence, invading not only my life but my heart. How much trust can I place in a man so dangerous? How much do I dare risk for his love?

But so are the lies to protect the ones I love. We’re cut from the same twisted cloth. Both merciless. Both damaged. In his embrace, I find hell and heaven, his cruelly tender touch destroying and uplifting me at once. They say a cat has nine lives, but an assassin has just one. And Yan Ivanov now owns mine.

I can summon any woman with a look. They want me, but there's only one I crave. Vanessa. I shouldn't have let her slip away. She answers the door wearing next to nothing. I can't tear my eyes away from her. A short silk kimono skims her thighs. The delicate robe falls open. She's teasing me. Lace panties and a push-up bra lifts her breasts like an offering. I haven't seen her in years. I've never seen her like this. I never knew that under her clothes she had the body of a goddess.

Massimo D’Agostino is the heir to his father’s empire. Don’t be fooled by his handsome face or that piercing blue gaze. He’s no prince charming. He’s dangerous and feared, possessive and fierce. Our first meeting began with a contract that forced me to marry him and sign my life away. I was a debt repayment and a pawn in his game to exact revenge against my father. The only way out is death. I belong to him now. Me, the Balesteri Mafia princess. Pure and untouched. Owned by the devil who placed me in a gilded cage.

How did I end up playing fake fiancée to a runaway criminal? Well, I was supposed to get married today—but that’s a whole other story.The part that matters is that I took the car and ran, still in my wedding dress. I promptly crash said car into a bridge, and when I get out to check the damage… I'm disoriented and fall right into the river below. That should’ve been it for little old me. Goodnight. Close the curtains. Roll the credits. Drowned by my own wedding dress—how morbidly appropriate. But then someone saves me.

Even though Khiann is the son of a merchant and not a member of the leading circle, the handsome young god is a much more appealing choice. Now all she has to do is convince him that she is worth chancing an all-out civil war over succession and, possibly, his very life.

PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THERE'S MORE BEING WRITTEN
Well a HEA ending to beat all other HEA endings but what Korum and Mia had to endure in order to finally get there is out of this world - literally.
At last we hear Korum's POV and what an amazing, gifted, loveable, drool-worthy, sexy, sweetie he has turned out to be as everything he does, he does for his love of Mia. They have truly grown as a couple who are deeply in love despite the obstacles of memory loss, a K traitor, the battle in the arena and meeting the all powerful Elders for a life changing decision. As they travel from NYC, Costa Rica and eventually the Krinard home planet the gifted author infuses the action-packed storyline with plot twists, genius inventions, paints a new world which is richly described in great detail and entwines it all in a very hot, romantic, passionate and truly exceptional love story that has overcome so much, including attitude and species differences, and I'm sure it's a love that will stand the test of time.
My one slight complaint is that the whole series would have been even better if it had been spoken by the same narrator and a more competent one too.
Worth a credit? I have lived with this series for some time now loving all it's many good and bad characters together with their highs and lows so I've been truly emotionally thrilled, chilled, captivated, enthralled and The Krinar Chronicles have deeply moved me so I am very sorry to have to say goodbye.

Can I have a side dish of plot with the Sex?
Good Grief! I don't think I would ever come across a series that has too much sex it in, but this trilogy sure does. There is so much sex I feel like I need to take a pregnancy test! Too much sex can be a bad thing, if there is too much fornication it loses its appeal and it becomes nothing special and a very mundane act. The over abundance of sex was just too distracting for the minimal plot, this really only should have been one book instead of 3....but there is so much sex that it became a trilogy ( TA-DA). This last book was also a recap of Korum and Mia's differences from the first book. So if you are just in the mood to watch mindless Lorno on HBO or late night Skinamax on TV then this series is for you. For me I like the plot to be the main dish and the sex a side dish or dessert....and this stew needs more meat in it.

Can't wait to read more from this Author!
Loved, loved, this book and the narrator! Can't wait to read more from this author. I don't even know how I got caught up in the series. After the first book I just had to know what happened next. So worth the credit. Go ahead get the book if you like vampire/not vampire/alien/ romance/ alpha male, etc.

Great Ending to a Great Story!
This narrator was much better than Kitty in book two. This was a happy ending to a great series. I can't wait for Anna Zaires new stuff to come out. This is an author that I will buy her books without even listening to the samples because I know they won't disappoint.

Great ending to a fabulous story.
If you could sum up Close Remembrance in three words, what would they be?
Love, betrayal, and future.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Korum, because he loves Mia above all things.
What does Emily Durante bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She brings life to the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ceremonies were beautiful!
Any additional comments?
Anna Zaire's last installment in the Krinar Series brings an end to a fabulous story about love, loss and moving forward despite the struggles that present themselves. Long descriptions of events, and a host of new characters make you want more in the series, but Mrs. Zaire's wraps wrap up Mia and Korum's story beautifully.

WHOA!! WHAT AN ENDING! LOVED IT!
This is the first sci-fi, alien/human romance I have read…like ever. And, this series did not necessarily push me in the direction of other alien romances, but more so, it put Anna Zaires on my authors' radar list. She did a fantastic job in capturing the emotional and triumphant progress of such an interesting and unique romance as of that of Korum and Mia.
In this book, all loose ends, struggles and issues from previous books are brought forward and resolved in a fabulous manner. There is nothing that is left without a resolution and I really appreciated that in this series, and that is why I so loved this book.
Both Mia and Korum's relationship becomes even more grounded and catapults into an epic, legendary romance that really changed and moved both their societies and worlds, alike. Anna Zaires could have kept their story moving forward, but it's nice when an author knows when to stop as well.
In this book there are beautiful, sentimental moments between Korum and Mia. Mia's personality, gifts and worth push themselves to centerfold as she reaches new heights in her value and position in Krinar society. GO MIA!!! I was impressed at how Korum is represented as such a powerful lead. He never loses momentum, is rarely caught off guard, protects Mia at all costs, and is so intelligent that he's typically one step ahead of everyone else. There is nothing this man will not do for Mia. His love is insatiable, powerful, and gives a "forever" type of romance a whole new meaning. Both Mia and Korum's love will be added to my list of "favorites." I will regularly revisit this audiobook series…that's how much I really liked it.
Narrator: Emily Durante must have been good or at least decent because again…I was more focused on the details in this fantastic ending and not so much on the narration…I know weird, but what can I say??? Loved this series!!!

Oh, why to change narrators?
I really don't understand the business decision to use different narrators for the books in the same series with the same main characters. This is just an incompetence at its core.
I really liked the first narrator, the next two narrators are just absolutely horrible. I had to turn off Emily Durante narrating Tairen Souls and lost three credits, I just can't stomach her narration. And now this... Unfortunately, I have to put on my list "Do not buy" another book narrated by Ms. Durante.
I don't think Ms. Zaires had enough material for three books. A second and a third book was a huge stretch just to make a book. I did not have very high expectations due to genre of this category, but a combination of a poor story which was mostly a repetition of the first book with a bad narration made me regretting spending my credit.

Love that is meant to be...
What made the experience of listening to Close Remembrance the most enjoyable?
The story itself. I can't get enough of Mia and Korum.
Have you listened to any of Emily Durante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. I enjoyed Emily Durante on the other book I have listed to. I think Kitty Hendrix did a much better job in Close Obsession.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Mia loses her memory. I couldn't help but tear up and you can almost feel the pain for Korum.

Appallingly bad
Thank god this series is over. I have no idea why I persevered - it's a waste of 3 credits.
The plot is contrived and common as mud.
The romance / Erotica is yawningly boring.
The writing itself is sub standard.
The characters are one dimensional: young, naive - independent but innocent and the domineering, mind blowing lover billionaire (50 Shades, Bared to You, This Man, Blackstone).
Don't waste your time or money.
The only positive is that the narrator on this title is different. The previous 2 are read by the equivalent of a querulous maiden aunt with a cat on her lap.
