The Kordolians are loose on the asteroid mining station Fortuna Tau, and first-rank mechanic Jia Morgan has become caught up in the thick of things. Under the careful watch of these steely-eyed silver warriors, Jia and her team have been tasked with repairing the hull of the Kordolians' Alpha-Class battle cruiser,Silence.The problem is, their alien technology is far, far beyond anything she's seen before, and whatever they try to weld to Silence's black hull just won't stick.

When Jia goes in search of a tool that might actually penetrate the warship's impossibly strong Callidum exterior, she find herself being aided by a most unlikely source. The hard-faced warrior who's decided to accompany her walks on silent feet and carries a big, big gun. He's equal parts scary and attractive, in an otherworldly sort of way.

But although Jia finds this Kordolian fascinating, she's not even going to try and get close to him, because, well, he's a freaking Kordolian, and Kordolians aren't exactly known throughout the Nine Galaxies for being warm and fuzzy.

Instead, she's going to do her job and fix their warship, because that's the only way these intimidating warriors are ever going to leave Fortuna Tau. Hopefully, they won't break anything, or anyone, on the way out.

Oh, and there's also the small matter of these flesh-eating insect-aliens called Xargek. Apparently, they bite.

Review

The hero in this addition to the Dark Planet Warriors Series by Anna Carven is ridiculous and I love him.  He has been altered to be a super solider and he was already a badass alien. 

He is grumpy.  He falls head over heels for a kick ass mechanic heroine. They have great adventures and mega sexy times. Good stuff. 

Enjoy! 

Factory mechanic Duke Crawford just wants to watch SportsCenter in peace. Unfortunately, living with four divorcee sisters doesn’t provide much silence, nor does it change his stance on relationships. But when a fellow commitment-phobe stumbles into his life, getting him good and worked up, he can’t deny his protective instincts.

Samantha Waverly’s brother just put her in an impossible situation. The only way out? Marry huge, gruff, gladiator look-alike Duke—for show, of course. She doesn’t make promises—she knows too well how easily they can be broken—and this is no exception.

As the blistering attraction between them grows, the lines around the no-strings relationship blur. But Duke and Samantha’s marriage is only for show…or is it?

Review

This book is a lot of crazy sauce. It doesn't make much sense.

Why does the heroine go to the bar? Why does she take a bus into town to see her very wealthy brother? And on it goes...

This said... I love the hero. Yep. My cat nip is a gentle giant.

I love his sisters and would adore for them to get their own book.

The heroine is nice enough but all of her motivations are wacky and not well developed or at least thin.

The erotic elements of this romance are super blazing hot but as much as I enjoyed the fantasy elements coming in with the character's personalities. they sexy times are nutso really in arc of everything else that is going on.

The heroine freaks out at a certain point which is lame and would have made a better book if we just had more couple time.

So, yeah, I can't recommend it exactly but I had a good time reading it.
