I've been an avid follower of the Six Saviors series since being introduced to it last year. I've eagerly anticipated the release of each book and it's story of each unique SR44 savior. Jovan intrigued me in book 3, as we got a little glimpse of the pain he endures by having to feel and experience the emotions of others. Imagine having to avoid being touched, accuse you can feel whatever pain, anger, despair, sadness that someone else feels. It's a lonely existence, but Jovan would rather be alone then endure such torture.Of course we have a heroine who is more than up to the task of taking Jovan and his problems on. Liberty might be sweet and innocent, but she has a quiet strength that develops throughout the book, and makes for a likeable character to read about. The best part about her is that she's one of them! This is what I like best about this book. By adding in a fresh cast of characters from SR44, the story of the Six Saviors goes to a deeper level. Now, Jovan's problem is not like the other three Saviors before him. There is no worry of him falling in love with a human woman and losing his SR44 form. In this case, it's about him opening up to Liberty by allowing her to help him learn to control his gift and learn how to shrug off his 'loner' state of living. Jovan learns a valuable lesson about the value of relationships and comes to see that he needs the others in his life more he thought.I also love the added element of danger now that the FBI has gotten involved and gotten wind of the existence of aliens on earth. Now, not only do the Saviors have Colonists to deal with, there is the issue of the FBI, as well as another group of SR44 males that have less than honorable intentions. At the risk of giving too much away, I'll stop there, but suffice it to say that you won't get bored reading this action-packed story! Jovan truly shines and holds his own as one of the Saviors and doesn't fail to deliver when it comes to macho heroics. And as if the action weren't enough, the chemistry between Jovan and Liberty is sweet and steamy all at once. Liberty's innocence is cute in a way that's not annoying and her curiosity about Jovan, and human relationships leaves a lot of room for comedy, as well as some very tender moments. By the end, though, Jovan helps her discover her true sex kitten, so she doesn't stay innocent for long!Just like the last story, this one's left me ready for more of the Six Saviors. Now that there are more people living in the Silo...I won't say who or how many....it looks like we might have potential for a love triangle on our hands and I am loving that! Based on the things that happened in this book, things will be hard for our last two Saviors. They had a hard time in this book, and the consequences of that will be painful to read. But I, for one, love the idea of watching Cohen and Talin come back from the depths they've fallen into in this book. I. Can't. Wait. For. More!!!!!
