Publisher's summary

Amelia “Runt” Thomas’ life revolves around a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the most ruthless criminals in the world. She follows two codes: the code of hackers and her personal code of honor to bring down anyone who thinks they’re untouchable. She was on target until one fateful night when the touch of a strange man sends an unexpected shock wave through her. Now, the faint whispers in her head are growing louder and more annoying, distracting her from her mission.

Derik “Tag” Krell Manok’s search for the mysterious woman who changed his life nearly two years before is finally over. As a Prime warrior from another world, he knew the moment he touched Amelia that she was his bond mate - but she disappeared before he could whisk her away to safety. He is determined not to let that happen again, but he also knows that he needs to proceed with caution because Amelia is unlike any woman he has ever known before.

As their connection grows, so does Derik’s fear that he will be unable to keep Amelia safe from a man who is just as determined to find her and use her amazing talents for his own devious purposes. Find out what happens when an alien warrior, a determined AI named RITA, and a few other surprising twists come together to save a special woman named Runt!

longer story than posted

this continued sagacan be listened to separately, as the stories span over years. I think together they add more to thr story knowing all. I almost didn't buy this becaues it says it's short but it wasn't. orat least it didn't feel it, full story all questions answered.

Loved it! Favorite

This is probably my favorite one so far in this series! Cute, funny, sexy, loving. Can’t wait for the next if there is one.

Cosmos' gateway heading in another direction...

If you are a follower of this series, you know that we have been on Runt's hunt for a long time now. Now, we have here story and the makings of a delicious journey. I loved getting to know more about Runt and Derik, the youngest Krell Manok. The end of the journey was written. We just had to be patient enough to wait for it to play out. Runt and Derik were destined by the stars/goddess or whatever. They finally have that chance and there was one thing after another that was making it presence known. Then we get a few surprises along the way. The story even ended with multiple directions for it all to go. Things have really gotten more interesting.

I have experience many of Samantha Cooks narration and have not been left wanting anything. I enjoy the ride.

cute-ish

The series arc ends with the youngest family member - Derik ‘Tag Krell Manok going to find his bondmate Amelia “Runt” Thomas who is finally old enough to be claimed.
Amelia gets to find out more of her family history, she learns to trust Derik and gets to see more space aliens first hand. Rita2 and DAR replicate 2 children and their involvement in opening a portal leaves a door open for a possible future book.
Cook does a decent job of narration.

Please continue this series

I love this book and this whole series it’s written so well and I love the difference between how the warriors r so ready for battle untill they meet their mate then they become big bad softies 🤣🤣 please please please continue adding these books as they are published I can’t wait to know how Anne and her worrier end up and Trudy and hers I’d love to continue to see the way these couples over come insanity ❤️❤️❤️And the The voices of the narrators in each book it’s perfect

Great series

This is my favorite series so far by any author. I didn't expect that Derrick would get his own story, but he did, and it was good. Loved the H/h, they were good together. Great story that was built around these two. The narrator was fantastic,as always. Can't wait for the next book/audio.

Love this series

This one was definitely a little more tame than the others in this series, but still a great read. But then Runt is self reliant, so that makes sense.

Thought it was going to be boring....

I really have to hand it to S.E. This was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. The plot was good and I liked how it bent back to Tink’s first encounter with the Joaquin. Also I see there’s to be a war with the Prime’s in the making. I’ve lived S.E.’s writing since the first book I read, but now in lockdown for CoVID, I have more tine to read, listen, and enjoy....if nothing else than for the freedom to just be me when so many challenges are facing our nation-inside and out. Who would’ve thunk we’d be at this point in our lives? But as a B5 fan, I’ll rip-off J’quar’s comments that we can do nothing about the past; live our best in this present time; and the future will attend to itself. Oh yeah, and let’s not leave Delenn out: FAITH MANAGES!!! Great book.

Pretty good

I hope there is more in the series this story was ok but not great for final the book. I hope there are more books to come in the series.

Love it

Love this series can’t wait for more and please keep adding them to audible waited so long for this one to finally be on audible this is a great sci fi series with funny hero’s and strong willed heroines that are not whiny or annoying. Love Samantha Cook her voice brings the book to life!
