I really enjoyed this story. I never thought I would like Zorus but I really did! Plus I liked Charlie a lot.
In the past, Zorus was a earther hating jackass. Even in this book, he was a dick in the beginning, but certainly not cruel.
Charlie was smart and got screwed over by her brother a few too many times. Not to mention her ex! But luckily Zorus saved her!
Zorus' son? Yep - NO! I talk about that in the spoiler.
This was a good addition to the series. I think these books have gotten stronger over time. There was some drama, action and hot sex. Plus Zorus fell HARD which was fun to see. And he sees the stupidity of the laws he helped create that hurt human mates.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ Breeding pact - no (he is sterile) OW tries to offer herself to him for a favor. Goes so far as to strip naked. He says no many times and really means it. But this is what he did in the past so she does not accept a simple no. Biggest issue - his earther hating son almost (and I mean as close to almost as you can get) rapes and sodomizes Charlie because he thinks Zorus has kept her to torture. I have a HUGE problem with the general lack of repercussions against him. Zorus was angry - yes - but he should have KILLED him! But both he and Charlie feel guilty because it was his son. Seriously?!

I liked Ice (for the most part) (all of the cyborg have their asshole moments) and I ended up really liking Megan! It was hot and steamy. So long as you can get past the spoiler issues.
Ice has been called upon OFTEN to impregnate females. He has 28 - no shit - 28 kids!!!! Including the one he just made a few days before finding Megan. YUCK!!!!!
ok - my other issue is that he frequently visits the robot whorehouse and she WATCHES him fuck the sexbots! And he likes to use his mouth. Just YUCK!!!! I can see her doing this - sort of like watching porn - but I just cannot see her actually wanting to screw him herself. But to each her own.
Getting past these issues and him almost killing her on orders from the Council, it was still a good book. Megan really pulled through for him in the end and saved the day.

I am SO disappointed! I was looking forward to diving into this MF series, but I am totally turned off by this first book.
Hero is a totalWTF people?!
I am SO disappointed! I was looking forward to diving into this MF series, but I am totally turned off by this first book.
Hero is a total manwhore. Seriously disgusting. Meets Danica, but continues checking out other women in her face. They go separate ways. He is thinking about her, saying he doesn't want another woman, but as soon as one hits on him - THE SAME DAY - he screws her in the bathroom. Yes, it is detailed and absolutely disgusting that he is thinking about Danica, but cannot control himself. And he is a 35 year old man! So I am OUT!
I doubt I will pick up any other book in this series now. Such shame because i liked MF's Whiskey series. ...more
Meh...certainly not the best LRJ series. I thought I would love Savage's book. But it was just ok. I get why shei'll write this for the entire series.

no, no, no. I hate hearing about your dead "love" or "mate" I hate it even more that you think of her while with your new mate. It totally makes the "no, no, no. I hate hearing about your dead "love" or "mate" I hate it even more that you think of her while with your new mate. It totally makes the "mate" thing so worthless. Your brother waited thousands of years to find a mate and you have a couple within months? Total bullshit! I liked this series. But this book...I hated it! I was SO sick of hearing about his dead mate. Who he actually never mated!!!!
Reformed man whore. Heroine with a horrible history. It was an easy read. I liked them both, but I had trouble with her being so ok with his history. Reformed man whore. Heroine with a horrible history. It was an easy read. I liked them both, but I had trouble with her being so ok with his history. Especially considering her own family
Ok here goes - this is all a hot mess but did not ruin the story for me at all.
Hero ends up with custody of his 3 mo old brother after his father and his wife died. Fathers wife is a few years older than hero. When he was 18 and about to graduate high school he went out with her several times. Never made it past 2nd base. But caught her and his dad screwing. Caused a RIF. She left but years later came back to town and got together with the Dad. Hero was gone to college by then. But never truly forgave them. Yes it was strange. But it did not ruin the story.
To make it more complicated. The heroine is the cousin of the wife, knew the whole story AND had a crush on the hero in high school. Yikes! But again it did not bother her. Another strange situation. And she had no room to talk since she had a child with her ex-bfs brother!!! (Who is dead)
Loved the heroine. Did not like the hero. I remember him from a previous book. And he is a disgusting man whore.

Manwhore to the extreme. Had another woman in his bed during the first scene between the h and H. No details. Enemies to lovers. Without the constant Manwhore to the extreme. Had another woman in his bed during the first scene between the h and H. No details. Enemies to lovers. Without the constant reminders of his whorish ways, it would have been a fun book. It was fun, but has a cloud over it as I just did not like him very much. But if you like historical sand can handle the “rakish” ways of the heroes, I think you will love this one. ...more

I was optimistic about safety after reading the first book in the series. But nope. I just couldn't get over it. I get he eventually made a huge effort, but when she said she knew she had "no right" to be upset because they were not really together (after being together). So she excused him fucking a club whore (or getting a BJ - I don't remember) (which she walked in on).

Vadim was too big of a manwhore for me. Isobel was a doormat. Cannot believe she would sleep with him when he was just trying to "make up" for a previously bad experience. Yuck! I have no faith in his faithfulness. I get he said he would be, but I just was not believing it. And Isobel was going to be a green eyed, insecure, paranoid monster. Not a good foundation for a relationship.

I am SICK of reading about the hero fucking anything he can get his hands on. In FRONT of the heroine! I have NO respect for heroines who "fall" for these douchbags.
There is no way I can continue to read since I am already sick to my stomach at 28%. I do not care if the hero undergoes a brain and penis transplant. He is too much of a whore and a jerk for me to take one minute longer.
Even though I did not love Grey I had to read this. Honestly I just don’t like being in Christian’s head.

He remains too wrapped up in Mrs Robinson and I HATE hearing his thoughts about his previous Submissives. But I loved the confrontation at the end.
Absolute best part of the book? Not having to listen to Ana’s Inner Goddess!!!!
I am sure I will read the last Christian POV too. Just crazy like that. Want to see Mrs Robinson get the boot!
Last - for all you FSOG haters. This series got me back into reading romance after being away for over 20 years. So even though it is not great literary work, and I don’t particularly like the MCs, it will always hold a special place in my heart because I have rediscovered a genre I used to love and now love again!
