The Empty Night

Atrophy, Book 4

De: Jess Anastasi

Narrado por: Raquel Beattie

Captain Qaelan Forster is used to trouble. He lives on the wrong side of the law and he's on the most-wanted lists. He's mixed up in his cousin's mess who has problems on a cosmic level—like shape-shifting aliens who want them dead. But Qaelan's not prepared for the cheeky kind of trouble called Camille Blackstone, whose infamous father has any man interested in his daughter executed.

After Camille drags Qaelan into an impulsive act of rebellion, she finds herself trying to defend the sexy captain from her overprotective father's wrath, even if she has to handcuff herself to the sexy captain to keep him alive. However, it soon becomes apparent there are much more dangerous things lurking in the dark corners of the universe than a vengeful pirate lord. And she's just landed in the middle of it.

Contains mature themes.

Full throttle scoundrel meets his match

“Usually I’d avoid situations that make me look like a moron- but in this case, I’ll wear it.”
Upping the scoundrel factor, with more quips, banter, and humor between the MCs, including the MCs from the previous books, helped to elevate this. Additionally, this book is the shortest of the series, easing up on the angsty inner monologues and focusing instead on action and heist-style adventure.

“Low budget bondage without a safe word to be found!”
Qaelen and Cami were my favorite romantic pair thus far, thanks to their frisky, anything but missionary flirting. And, here’s where listening to the series in order pays off as the invasion arc finally starts coming together heading into the final book.
