Summary
New York Times best-selling author Dianne Duvall brings listeners the first novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action, intrigue, humor, and romance.
When an ally reveals that his younger sister was seized and is being held prisoner on Earth, Taelon descends upon the blue planet, intent on freeing her and exacting vengeance. However, all does not go as planned. Before he can find her, Taelon is captured and becomes the subject of torturous experiments. For what feels like an eternity, all he knows is pain and fury...until a mind tentatively touches his own and a woman's voice forever changes his world.
After suffering tragic losses, Lisa is finally beginning to carve out a future for herself when chance sends her to the Anomalous Cognition Research Institute. What at first appears to be a benign organization instead turns out to be a government facility harboring a much darker intent. Lisa discovers this too late and soon becomes the unwilling subject of a terrifying experiment. Just as fear and desperation threaten to consume her, a deep, compelling voice penetrates the looming insanity and lends her hope.
Contains mature themes.

A Fantastic Start To This Sci-fi Series.
I'm already a big fan of Dianne Duvall's books but sci-fi is not my usual reading genre. However, I was drawn into this story and remained hooked throughout.
I love Dianne's writing style, the language she uses and the way she paces her plots. Her characters, both main and supporting, are written well with a range of personalities without being stereotypical. Our leading lady here, Lisa, was perfect. She displayed all the traits that I need a protagonist to have: resilience, intelligence and gumption.
Kirsten Potter is one of my favourite narrators. She has Narrated all of Dianne's books to date. As usual, Kirsten's performance was excellent and conveyed just what the story needed, when it was needed. She is a master at creating unique voices for each character - both male and female. She also uses her talent to distinguish the supporting cast of characters too. This makes any and all dialogue not only easier to follow but a joy to hear. The voices she created for our protagonists, Lisa and Talon, felt realistic and brought them to life.
Although there were quite a few epic jumps along the story timeline, I understand that they were necessary to "get everything in". Now that the scene has been set, I can't wait to get back into space and join the Aldebarian Alliance. Book 2, The Segonian, is due for release on 19th January 2021. We get a excerpt from it at the end of this audiobook and I'm loving it already!

Entertaining
Interesting concepts and characters.
Needs editing in places- far too many « intimate moments » and reoccurring references to huge, muscly men and petite women became tiresome.
Female characters kept peppering their speech with American colloquialisms and then kept having to explain their meaning to the simple minded aliens. Repetitive. Main male characters were unnaturally perfect in thought and manner.

Loved this book
First time I have come across this author and it's been amazing to listen too and I've thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in this book. it was great having this love story intertwined with SYFI and lots of action.
I enjoyed the narration too. It comes across as clear and well read. The emotions come across clear and in the places it's needed the heat comes across very clear and understandable.
I would recommend this book and have now brought the 2nd book in the series

Really good
So exciting, well written and narrated. So much more than the usual Alien romance. Loads of great sci-fi/paranormal concepts and ideas.

I doff my hat to this Author!
I was hooked from the beginning! I love sci-fi and romance, but this story has a fantastic plot and storyline.
All I can say is you won't be disappointed to read or listen to this book.
Yes I agree with some previous reviewers who mentioned that there was a bit of repetition. However I was so very eager to find out what happened next that I was able to overlook that.
Loved all the characters and understand why some bits of the supporting cast stories were not in depth as that would have made this book waaaaaay too long. I am already head straight into book 2 of the series, but before I go..... a standing ovation and a round of applause the Narrator for the EXCELLENT job that she has done, bringing each character to life! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
