I am so glad that I stuck with this series and held out for the story of Xairn and Lauren! This book in the series is what I was hoping for. There was a good plot, the story flowed smoothly and Lauren was the type of heroine that I enjoy. She knew that she was attracted to Xairn, saw his flaws and struggles, accepted them and still wanted him for what he is. Lauren doesn't question her desire for Xairn or fight her attraction to the point of brattiness, she embraces it and sets out to get her man. Well, her hot, sexy, grey skinned, alien male.Now what Xairn is is a dominant alpha Scourge with a double penis and a penchant for total sexual domination. You read that right. Double penis. I don't know where Anderson gets her inspiration, but one dangly bit per male is all I would personally want to handle, but hey, variety is the spice of life.When reading this series one really has to keep an open mind and suspend belief when it comes to anatomy. If you are squeamish about such things this is probably not the series for you. Lauren just has her work cut out for her convincing Xairn that what he needs from her she is willing and able to give. Xairn is willing to embrace her love but is fearful of accepting her total submission to his sexual needs.I have desperately held onto this series to get to this book and I am glad that I did, but I think that I will step away and read a few different books before I come back to it; and I believe that I will come back. This just seems to be a good place to stop and I want to leave with a happy memory. There are many more spin off stories told in this series that I hope will be interesting as well. This one ends with Nadia as the focus and book 5 will be her story. I would like to see how things play out with her and Rast. There's definitely something that has to happen to make Rast a good match for Nadia and it will be interesting to see how that plays out.You can find more from me at Monlatable Book Reviews
