I have read all of the books in this series and enjoyed them all.  I had been looking forward to the new books in this series.  I don't think you can even call this a novella.  27% at the end of the book consists of entire chapters from EVERY previous book and something from another series.  The first 5% of the book is the same 3 pages separated by TOC, dedication, publishing stuff, glossary, story of the star mates etc.The exact same scenes from the previous books are played out again pretty much word for word until we get to the point where Lindsey meets KadEN.  What new material there was in the book was good but pretty light on any development of the new characters.  The ending was so abrupt I thought I got whiplash.  None of the other books are have cliff hanger endings and I was pretty irritated by this one.  If your telling a story then tell the damn thing or at least leave it in a place where the reader doesn't feel ripped off.  NOTHING was tied up, every storyline in the book is at a loose end.  I thought I must have a bad copy but no it seems this is what the author intended.I'm quite annoyed that I paid "book" price for a "novella" that contains very little new material.SPOILERS:  Lindsey & KadEN are going to be mated (big surprise), ArieLa & TarEK are bond mates (another big surprise), Lindsey's dad knocked up RendEl's mom (okay, that was a surprise), ArieLa is kidnapped... you're all caught up, skip to the next.
