Publisher's Summary

Lilly left Earth seeking adventure, and learning about aliens sounded cool. She just didn’t expect to meet any in person - until her ship is attacked by alien pirates. Now she’s meeting plenty of them. Scary ones who want to do very bad things to her. 

Fighting for survival since childhood, Raff Vellar is more intimately familiar with knives and bloodshed than women. Then, during a trip to his home planet, a tiny human literally falls at his feet. When he learns she’s been forced into slavery, a fierce need to protect the human overcomes him. A feeling that quickly turns into a deep need to keep her forever. 

Contains mature themes.

Raff

I was hoping one of the fella’s would save their mate this way.
Lilly really was looking for an adventure when she left earth I don’t think she expected what happened but I think in the end she was grateful she found Raff.

I love that Raff wasn’t looking and he finds Lilly and she is not only perfect for him but he for her. He is a much different Raff then his crew knows because with her he can be open and himself.

Again I loved the narration I was so surprised it was in a male pov, but it makes sense because the book is in Raff’s pov. Fantastic, I hope we get one more ;) with the way it ended I think we will.

I'm a little addicted to Laurann Dohner Books!

I love Laurann Dohner, I've listened to her entire sexy, hot Cyborg series and New Species Series I love her as a author!! Top 10 in my book. I started this series with book 2. Book 1 (Cathian) reminded me to much Redeeming Zorus. It was a great book but book 2 was a great start to this series. Raff reminds me of Valiant from New Species simpler but not the same a very handsome, virile, and tough alpha alien. He is a Trileskian alien, he is known to be dangerous, especially when upset. While visiting a planet for personal business. He comes across a beautiful helpless human, she is being sold as prostitute, and runs away from her captors and lands at Raff's feet. Lily is afraid and desperate to escape the planet and return to earth. Raff is instantly attracted to her and feels the need to rescue her. I listened to this on Audible, and the narrator is super talented Ryan West. The story is fast paced, well written, with interesting characters. Also, a hot romance, witty alpha, action packed. But, I felt frustrated with Lily! She has a gentle, loving and fierce alien who is falling hard for her, and offering her his protection. A new life, a new beginning, meanwhile back on earth she literally has no one special. Overall, I liked the story line, the characters, the action and the hot romance

Awesome sex scenes, Good character development another great book from Laurann Dohner

Plot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐stars
Story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Narrator.: Ryan West⭐⭐⭐⭐
I did like the narration but I still liked Summer Roberts better, it was better read by her. I wish Vanessa Chambers would read it i think she was the best out of the books ^_^

This book was included in the escape package!

I am a HUGE Laurann Dohner fan!!!

Truly enjoyed the Story of Raff and how he met Lilly. I think that the fact that he was by himself allowed him to be more at ease with her, it is like the opinions of all of his crew had him in a box that was hard for him to be gentler. I have been a bit disappointed with this series. The books are very short (which I don’t mind at all) and therefore the Instalove and instasex is far quicker than I feel is good for the storyline.

Decent, just not sure of one aspect

Pretty good book 4 of the series.
The only thing I find was verging on being unacceptable was the H basically forcing a mating and potential child on the h, and deciding an orgasm was enough of a consent despite her verbal disagreements. I know it got discussed later, but at that point it was unpleasant listening.
I know he's antisocial, etc etc etc. But it really detracted from the story

Bad Ending

The story was okay, but the ending was abrupt. It felt like the story ended halfway through the book.

Love this series, don't like she left no ending

I could go back time and time again to listen to all the stories, absolutely love them all, but the writer left me hanging 💔. there is no telling when or if she will finish the series. SO many cliffhangers, I really wanted an ending and it got really good at the end. I knew the captain would have to go after his father, the father and uncle are monsters 👹. HOPE the writer finishes the series.

fun and hot

raff was the kind of book that I like it has spaceships ,sex and fighting

Refutation

I don't often write reviews. Most often, I wish I could directly refute some reviews. Sometimes, I wonder if people even listen to the same book that I listen to. Before I read this book, there are a couple reviews that either stated or insinuated that there was non-consensual sex or some type of dominant coercion. This is absolutely NOT the case. When sexual relations do begin to occur, consent is given both physically and verbally. Doubts occur in the inner monologue but are also countered in the inner monologue of the female. But the hero even pauses at several times to make sure that she is on board with him and to get consent. This is my second favorite book of this series and I can't wait for the final one to come out.

Great series

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It would be awesome if there were more books to enjoy because I found that I did not want Vorge Crew to end. There is another crew member so hopefully she will get her story. Raff is tough but a sweetie when it comes to Lily. He falls for the tiny human almost immediately and has a fierce need to protect her and he will do whatever is needed. The books are so good, I wanted to listen to all of them in one sitting. Ryan West did a great job with the narration.

Warning

This was a great series but the ending has the start of Cavas, the next book in the series, but it is still not available over a year later. Why does Audible do that??? If you can't get the rights to all don't give the hope of the ending of the series. Very disappointed 😞
However, like the first three books, this one was great too.

Good for what it is

This was an enjoyable fun easy listen, and much better than other books in this genre.
