Publisher's summary

Kira: In the blink of an eye, my whole world has collapsed around me. Headed towards my dream vacation, I was snatched right out of the air. My husband, the love of my life, was destroyed right in front of my eyes. He fought bravely trying to protect me from a horror neither one of us could have ever imagined. I find myself standing in the spotlight on a stage. Mutilated and tortured, the blood from my body flowing freely down my legs along with my will to live. Piercing yellow eyes emerge from the darkness, but even the shadows can't hide his imposing form. Gentle, but terrifying arms reach out for me, and within their embrace, can I find the will to live again?

DaR: I am a badass, known throughout the galaxy for my brutality, as a ruthless and feared commander. With that being said, somehow I still got coerced into purchasing a slave. My eyes fall upon a small female whose very essence and eternal light is leaking out of her onto the floor below her. I walk up among the beings surrounding her and pull her from the stage, daring, or should I say hoping they try to do something about it. The moment I put her in my arms, everything changes.

Contains mature themes.

I was completely surprised

This book was so much better than I expected. Tor Thom did the job expected from him (great) and I found Emily great also at the female voice. the world and the direction this story took was believable. lots of trauma but it is necessary for the effect of the relationship growing in this book. the description is no way as good as the book really is worth a credit. worth the Read

meet DaR of Darverius and a tiny human woman

Love this introduction to a new series and its inhabitants. I loved most that this female lead is older and not able to have children. Kira was ripped away from her life after watching her husband die to protect her. She was mutilated, tortured, and at the edge of life. She was rescued and cherished. She was to be free and cared for. She was valued for being female, but he valued her because she was a woman. She was a slave. She was to become part of the house of Daverius. Not knowing what any of it meant. She chose to run. This run was not wise. This run almost cost her, her freedom and her life. DaR was the protector of many. He was already a father to 28 sons. He did not need a breeder. He was feared in some circles. He was something more than a warrior. DaR was not looking for a slave. He was not looking to be a hero. He gets a prophecy from a little child. He knows that now his life will be changed. He is just not sure in what direction the change will take him.

Kira makes DaR’s home a real home. He makes Kira his. Unwittingly he makes the pronouncement to the whole of the universe. Kira is just a mere human who will be the mate of DaR. DaR the most ruthless and feared commander. Now everyone will be gunning to take him down through his Kira. They will be in for a fight because taking what belongs to DaR will be harder than they think. Ms. Kira has more than just DaR watching out for her safety

I found both narrators, Emily Sutton-Smith & Tor Thom, did a good job. The duo introduces us to the world of Darverius. I enjoyed the cadence of both narrators. Tor made DaR come to life while giving each of the males differences.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:

And I certainly can't wait for the next book🥰🥰🥰 You will love this book!

just wonderful

I love when a male and female narrate the books. And tor thom has the most amazing voice. The characters are fantastic and well written and with the exception of two spots that mess up on the pronouns and the wrong narrator, this book is perfect. I also really enjoy the fact that the lead female role is an older, mature woman. I’m almost 40 and it was actually really nice to have some representation.

Great book

It is sweet and kind and about love and loss. I got so caught up in the story that I read it in one day.

yes please more!

I can't believe it took me this long to finally listen to this book probably because I had a whole bunch of other ones that I wanted to listen to as well and I pushed this one off until it had more books on the series and I loved it

Recommended read

I love the fact that this book had more story than sex scenes. And I thank the author for that. Of course, the description of the tortures and trauma at the beginning were necessary for the story - They were definitely harsh for me.

Ok

This book begins on such a traumatic note; so graphic and terrifying. The storyline was interesting with similarities as other books in this genre. Emily’s narration was a bit dry but ok; Tor’s was ok.

Awesome!!

This was such a great book. Funny sad which ever the emotion the narrator’s where perfect just wish it was longer. Definitely one of my favorite story’s.
